5. This Settlement Order and Judgment applies to all claims or causes of action
settled under the terms of the Agreement, and shall be fully binding with respect to all members
of the Class who did not timely and properly request exclusion. The persons who submitted
timely and valid requests for exclusion from the Class and who are therefore not bound by this

for purposes of Rule 54 of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, and is the Order provided for in
Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

who did not properly request exclusion are barred and permanently enjoined from asserting,
instituting, or prosecuting, either directly or indirectly, any claims settled under the terms of the
Agreement, which they ever had or now have, to the full extent provided in the Agreement.
8. Without affecting the finality of this Settlement Order and Judgment in any way,
the Court retains jurisdiction over (1) the implementation and enforcement of the Agreement
until each and every act agreed to be performed by the parties to the Agreement shall have been
performed; (2) any other action necessary to conclude this Settlement and to implement the
Agreement; and (3) the enforcement, construction and interpretation of the Agreement.
9. This Settlement Order and Judgment does not constitute an expression by the
Court of any opinion, position or determination as to the merit or lack of merit of any of the
claims and/or defenses of the Representative Plaintiffs, the Plaintiff Class, or defendants.
Neither this Settlement Order and Judgment, the Agreement, the fact of settlement, the
settlement proceedings, settlement negotiations, nor any related document, shall be used or
construed as an admission of any fault or omission by Defendants or be offered or received in
evidence as an admission, concession, presumption, or inference against any Defendant for any
purpose whatsoever other than in such proceedings as may be necessary to consummate or
enforce the Agreement.
