agreements on behalf of, plaintiffs in all matters regarding pretrial procedures, discovery, and settlement 

negotiations. Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel shall be responsible for coordination of all activities and appearances 

on behalf of plaintiffs and for dissemination of notices and orders. Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel shall be

maintain a master service list of all parties and counsel, and service upon Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel shall be
