Any objections which were submitted, timely or otherwise, have been considered and are overruled. Any Class Members who have not timely and validly requested exclusion from the Class are thus bound by this Judgment.

Class Certification

For purposes of effectuating the Settlement, the Court finally certifies the following Class:

5. The certification of the Class is without prejudice to Plaintiff's and Defendants' rights under the Stipulation if the Stipulation and this Judgment do not become effective, as provided in the Stipulation.

Class Notice

8. Notice to Class Members, as set forth in the Stipulation, has been completed in conformity with the terms of the Stipulation and Preliminary Approval Order as to all Class Members who could be identified through reasonable effort.

The Notice Packets provided due and adequate notice to Class Members of the proceedings and of the matters set forth therein, including the Settlement, and the manner by which objections to the Settlement could be made and Class Members could opt out of the Settlement. The Notice Packets fully satisfied the requirements of due process.

Objections and Requests for Exclusion

9. ___ objections to the Settlement were filed by Class Members in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Stipulation and Class Notice.
