FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

IN RE : CIVIL ACTION

DVI, INC. SECURITIES LITIGATION :

: No. 03-5336

ORDER OF FINAL JUDGMENT AND DISMISSAL

AND NOW, on this 23rd day of June, 2015, upon consideration of Lead 

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Order Approving Sixth Settlement, Plan of Allocation, Attorneys’ 

Fees and Expenses, and Cost Recovery/Service Award (Doc. No. 1003) and a hearing 

before this Court to determine: (1) whether the terms and conditions of the Stipulations

of Settlement dated March 27, 2015 (Doc. Nos. 999-2 and 999-3, hereinafter referred to 

individually and interchangeably as the “Stipulations” and the “Settlements”), including 

the releases provided for in the Stipulations, are fair, reasonable and adequate and should 

be approved; (2) whether judgment should be entered dismissing with prejudice all 

Released Claims against all Released Parties (as those terms are defined in the 

Stipulation); (3) whether and in what amount to award Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel fees and 

reimbursement of expenses; and (4) whether and in what amount to award Lead Plaintiffs 

cost recovery and service award.

The Court, having previously certified a class on April 29, 2008, and amended the 

class definition on April 30, 2008 and December 30, 2008, and having considered all 

matters submitted to it at the hearing and otherwise, and it appearing that a notice of the 

hearing substantially in the form approved by the Court was mailed to all persons or 

entities reasonably identifiable who purchased the DVI, Inc. securities at issue in this 

Litigation from August 10, 1999 to August 13, 2003 (dates inclusive) (the “Class 

Case 2:03-cv-05336-LDD Document 1006 Filed 06/24/15 Page 1 of 11

Period”), and who were allegedly damaged thereby, except those persons or entities 

excluded from the definition of the Class or who previously excluded themselves from 

the Class, and that a summary notice of the hearing substantially in the form approved by 

the Court was published on one occasion on the Globe Newswire, and the Court having 

considered and determined the fairness and reasonableness of the award of attorneys’ fees 

and expenses requested, and Lead Plaintiffs’ requested cost recovery/service award; and 

all terms used herein that are defined in the Stipulations have the definition set forth 

therein;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Litigation, the 

Plaintiffs, the Class Members, Deloitte & Touche LLP, Harry T.J. Roberts, and John P. 

Boyle.

2. The Court, having previously certified a class, has determined that the 

certified Class which may participate in these Settlements is defined as follows:

All persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the securities of 

DVI, Inc. (including its common stock and 9 7/8% Senior Notes), between 

August 10, 1999 and August 13, 2003, inclusive, and who were thereby 

damaged. Excluded from the class are Defendants; any entity in which a 

Defendant has a controlling interest or is a part or subsidiary of, or is 

controlled by a Defendant; the officers, directors, legal representatives, heirs, 

predecessors, successors and assigns of any of the Defendants; Plaintiffs 

named in the WM High Yield Fund, et al. v. O’Hanlon, et al., No. 04-CV3423 (E.D. Pa.); and those persons or entities who timely and validly request 

exclusion from the Class pursuant to the Notice of Pendency and Settlement.

3. Notice of the pendency of this Litigation as a class action, the certification 

of a Class in this case, and of the proposed Settlements was given to all Class Members 

who could be identified with reasonable effort. The form and method of notifying the 

Class of the pendency of the Litigation as a class action, certification of a Class, and the 

Case 2:03-cv-05336-LDD Document 1006 Filed 06/24/15 Page 2 of 11

terms and conditions of the proposed Settlements met the requirements of Rule 23 of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Section 21D(a)(7) of the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(7), as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform 

Act of 1995, the United States Constitution (including the Due Process Clause), and any 

other applicable law; constituted the best notice practicable under the circumstances; and

constituted due and sufficient notice to all persons and entities entitled thereto.

4. The Court finds that the Stipulations provide a beneficial result for the 

Class and are the product of good faith, informed and non-collusive negotiations between 

experienced and able counsel. The Settlements are approved as fair, reasonable and 

adequate, and the parties are directed to and shall consummate and abide by the 

Stipulations in accordance with their terms and provisions. To the extent that they are 

defined in the Stipulations, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in 

the Settlements.

5. The Fifth Amended Complaint is hereby dismissed with prejudice and 

without costs, except such costs as may be provided in the Stipulations, as against 

Deloitte, Roberts and Boyle, and the Released Parties as defined in the Stipulations.

6. Pursuant to the Stipulation with Deloitte: Lead Plaintiffs and all other 

Class Members, whether or not any such Person submits a Proof of Claim and Release or 

shares in the Settlement Fund, on behalf of themselves and each of their present or past 

subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective heirs, executors, estates, administrators, 

predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, employers, 

employees, agents, consultants, insurers, directors, managing directors, officers, partners,

Final Judgment and Dismissal. All Releasors will be deemed on the Effective Date to 

release and forever discharge all Released Parties from any and all of the Released 

Claims.

7. All Releasors shall be deemed to have, and shall have, expressly waived 

and relinquished all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of any state or 

territory of the United States, or principles of common law, including § 1542 of the 

California Civil Code and any provision that is similar, comparable or equivalent to 

§ 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS, 

WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT 

TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF 

EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM 

OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR 

HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

A Releasor may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that any of 

them now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released 

Claims, but each Lead Plaintiff shall expressly have, and each Releasor shall be deemed 

to have, and by operation of this Order shall have, fully, finally, and forever settled and 

released any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, 

contingent or non-contingent, whether or not concealed or hidden, that now exist, or 

heretofore have existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into 

existence in the future, including but not limited to conduct that is reckless, intentional,

with or without malice, or breach of any duty, law or rule, without regard to the 

subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts.

8. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Court hereby permanently 

bars, enjoins and restrains (1) any other Person who is or may be liable to Lead Plaintiffs 

and/or the Class, including without limitation the other Defendants in the Litigation and 

any other Persons later named as defendants in the Litigation, and the successors and 

assigns of any of them, from commencing, prosecuting or asserting any action, claim, 

cross-claim, counterclaim, third-party or other claim against Deloitte, Roberts or Boyle,

or any other Released Party for indemnification or contribution or otherwise seeking the 

recovery of all or part of any actual or threatened liability or settlement which they pay or 

are obligated to pay or agree to pay arising out of such Person’s or Persons’ participation 

in any acts, facts, statements or omissions giving rise to any claims that could properly 

have been brought in the Litigation; and (2) all claims by Deloitte, Roberts or Boyle

against any Person for indemnity or contribution arising out of the Litigation, provided, 

however, that Deloitte, Roberts or Boyle may assert any such claim against any party that 

initiates a lawsuit or claim against it.

9. Any non-settling defendant shall be entitled to a reduction in any final 

verdict or judgment in an amount calculated as provided for in 15 U.S.C. § 78u4(f)(7)(B). 

10. Neither this Order of Final Judgment and Dismissal, the Stipulations, nor 

any of their terms and provisions, nor any of the negotiations or proceedings connected 

therewith, nor any of the documents or statements referred to therein shall be:

mediation or other type of proceedings to be evidence of a presumption, suggestion, 

concession or an admission in any respect whatsoever by any of the Released Parties, 

including, but not limited to, of the truth of any fact alleged or the validity of any claim 

that has been, could have been or in the future might be asserted in the Litigation, or 

otherwise against the Released Parties, or of any purported liability, fault, wrongdoing or 

otherwise of the Released Parties; or

b) offered or received in evidence in any judicial, administrative, 

arbitration, mediation or other type of proceeding for any purpose whatsoever, including, 

but not limited to, as a presumption, concession, acknowledgement or an admission of 

any purported liability, wrongdoing, fault, misrepresentation or omission, except that the 

Settling Parties may file the Stipulations and/or the Order of Final Judgment and 

Dismissal in any action that may be brought against them solely to support a defense, 

counterclaim or cross-claim, if any, based on principles of res judicata, collateral 

estoppel, release, good faith settlement, judgment bar or reduction or any other theory of 

claim preclusion or similar defense, counterclaim or cross-claim; or

c) construed as a concession or an admission that Lead Plaintiffs or 

the Class have suffered any damage or the amount thereof; or

11. On the Effective Date of the Settlements, all Releasors, whether or not any 

such Person submits a Proof of Claim and Release or shares in the Settlement Fund, will 

be forever barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting, prosecuting or continuing 

to prosecute any action or other proceeding in any court of law or equity, arbitration 

tribunal, or administrative forum, asserting the Released Claims against any of the 

Released Parties, except that these releases shall not bar any suit or action to enforce the 

terms of the Stipulations or this Order of Final Judgment and Dismissal.

complied with each requirement of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as to

both of which shall be paid to Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel from the Settlement Fund after the 

Effective Date with interest from the date such Settlement Fund was funded to the date of 

payment at the same interest rate that the Settlement Fund earns. Lead Plaintiffs are 

hereby awarded $ 100,000.00 in cost recovery and service award, which shall be paid 

from the Settlement Fund after the Effective Date, which the Court finds to be fair and 

reasonable. No payment authorized by this Paragraph shall be made prior to the 

Effective Date, except as otherwise provided for in the Stipulations.

14. The Settlement Fund shall be administered and distributed in accordance 

with the Settlements.
