2. The Settlement falls within the range of reasonableness and appears to be presumptively valid, subject only to any objections that may be raised at the final fairness hearing and final approval by this Court.

This Court approves, as to form and content, the Notice of Pendency of Class Action, Proposed Class Action Settlement, Dispute Form and Opt-Out Form and Hearing Date for Court Approval ("Notice of Pendency of Class Action"), in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to the Settlement Agreement. This Court approves the procedure for Class Members to participate in, to opt out of and to object to, the Settlement as set forth in the Notice of Pendency of Class Action.
5. This Court directs the mailing of the Notice of Pendency of Class Action by first class mail to the Class Members in accordance with the Implementation Schedule set forth below.
