PRELIMINARY ORDER IN CONNECTIONWITH SETTLEMENT PROCEEDINGS

WHEREAS, on August `, 2004, the parties to the above-entitled action (the "Action")

entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the "Stipulation") which is subject t o

review under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and which, together with th e

exhibits thereto, sets forth the terms and conditions for proposed settlements of the Action and

the claims alleged in the Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint date d

March 17, 2003 (the "Complaint") on the merits and with prejudice as against the Defendants ;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3) and by Order date d

March 22, 2002, as modified by an Order dated April 26, 2004, and as further modified herein ,

this Action has been certified as a class action on behalf ofall persons or entities who purchased

the Class A and/or Class B common stock of Raytheon Company ("Raytheon") during the pe riod

from October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and who wer e

allegedly damaged thereby. Excluded from the Class are the Defendants, all of the officers ,

directors, and partners thereof, members of their immediate families, and their lega l

representatives, heirs, successors or assigns and any entity in which any of the foregoing have o r

had a controlling interest. A notice of the pendency of this Action as a class action (the "Notic e

of Pendency") was previously distributed to the Class . In response to the Notice of Pendency,

Page 44: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

ninety-one requests for exclusion from the Class were received and were filed with the Court ;

and

WHEREAS, the Court having read and considered the Stipulation and the accompanying

documents ; and the parties to the Stipulation having consented to the entry of this Order ; and al l

capitalized terms used herein having the meanings defined in the Stipulation ;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, this day of

2004 that :

1 . A hearing (the "Settlement Fairness Hearing") pursuan t to Rule 23(e) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is hereby scheduled to be held before the Cou rt on

2004, at _.m. for the following purposes :

(a) to determine whether the proposed Settlements are fair, reasonable, an d

adequate, and should be approved by the Court;

(b) to determine whether the Order and Final Judgment as provided under th e

Stipulation should be entered, dismissing the Complaint filed herein, on the merits and wit h

prejudice, as against the Defendants and to determine whether the release by the Class of the

Settled Claims, as set forth in the Stipulation, should be provided to the Released Parties ;

(c) to determine whether the proposed Plan of Allocation for the proceeds o f

the Settlements is fair and reasonable, and should be approved by the Court ;

(d) to consider Lead Counsel's application, on behalf of itself and Plaintiff s

Counsel, for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses ;

2

Page 45: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

(e) to consider Lead Plaintiff application for reimbursement of its reasonable

costs and expenses directly relating to its representation of the Class ; and

(f) to rule upon such other matters as the Court may deem approp riate .

2. For the purposes of the PwC Settlement , the Order of April 26, 2004, is modified

solely to strike Paragraph II thereof, such that, as to PwC, the Class certified is as provided in th e

Order of March 22, 2002 . The Orders of April 26, 2004 and March 22, 2002 otherwise are no t

amended or modified .

3 . The Court recognizes and acknowledges that one consequence of a determination

of fairness at the Settlement Fairness Hearing is that, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of th e

Securities Act of 1933, 15 U .S .C. § 77c(a)(10), the Settlement Warrants maybe dist ributed to

Class Members without registration and compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements o f

the securities laws.

4. The Court reserves the right to approve the Settlements with or without

modification and with or without further notice of any kind . The Court further reserves the right

awarded attorneys' fees and expenses .

accordance with the requirements set forth in the Notice of Pendency. Raytheon has provided

information from its transfer records and shareholder information to the Lead Plaintiff which wil l

allow the Claims Administrator to identify members of the Class and give them notice of the

Settlements . The Claims Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to give notice to nominee

owners such as brokerage firms and other persons or entities who purchased Raytheon Class A

and/or Class B common stock during the Class Pe riod as record owners but not as beneficial

owners . Such nominee purchasers are directed to either forward copies of the Settlement Notic e

Claims Administrator is ordered to send the Settlement Notice and Proof of Claim promptly to

such beneficial owners . Nominee purchasers who elect to send the Settlement Notice and Proo f

SUMMARY NOTICE

Statement of Plaintiff Recover y

The settlement described herein actually represents two separate settlements : one between theClass and the Raytheon Defendants and the other between the Class and PwC . Court approval isbeing sought for both settlements, however, and they are described jointly herein as "thesettlement" (see Questions 4 and 12 below) . The Settlement provides a total of $460 million forthe Class, consisting of $260 million in Cash Settlement Funds ($210 million from the RaytheonDefendants and $50 million from PwC) and $200 million worth of five year warrants to purchaseRaytheon common stock at a price of $37 .50 per share (the "Settlement Warrants") . Plaintiff'sLead Counsel estimate that there were approximately 51 .4 million shares of Raytheon Class Acommon stock and 99.0 million shares of Raytheon Class B common stock traded during theClass Period which may have been damaged . Plaintiff's Lead Counsel estimate that the averagerecovery per damaged share under the settlement is $3.06 (including both the cash and the valueof the Settlement Warrants) before deduction of Court-awarded attorneys' fees and expenses . AClass Member's actual recovery will be a proportion of the Net Cash Settlement Fund and NetSettlement Warrants determined by his, her or its Recognized Claim as compared to the totalRecognized Claims of all Class Members who submit acceptable Proofs of Claim (See the Planof Allocation at page , below for details) .

Statement of Potential Outcome of Case

The parties disagreed on both liability and damages and do not agree on the average amount of

damages per share that would be recoverable if Lead Plaintiff were to have prevailed on each

claim alleged. Defendants deny that they are liable to the Lead Plaintiff or the Class and deny

that Lead Plaintiff or the Class have suffered any damages .

Statement of Attorneys' Fees and Costs Sought

Plaintiff' s Lead Counsel , on behalf of themselves and other Plaintiffs Counsel , are moving theCourt to award attorneys' fees in the amount of nine percent (9%) of the cash Se ttlement Fundsand the Settlement Warrants , and for reimbursement from the c ash Settlement Funds of expensesincurred in connection with the prosecution of this Action in an amount not to excee d$8,250,000. Application will also be made for reimbursement to the Lead Plaintiff for anamount not to exceed $ 10,000 for reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses directlyrelating to its representation of the Class . The requested fees and expenses would amount to anaverage of approximately $0.33 per damaged share (as estimated by Plaintiff's Lead Counsel) i n

BASIC INFORMATION

1 . Why did I get this notice package?

You or someone in your family may have purchased shares of Raytheon Company Class Aand/or Class B common stock during the period from October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999,

inclusive .

The Court directed that this Settlement Notice be sent to Class Members because they have aright to know about a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit, and about all of their options,before the Court decides whether to approve the settlement . If the Court approves theSettlement, and after objections and appeals are resolved, an administrator appointed by theCourt will make the cash payments that the settlement allows, and Raytheon will issueSettlement Warrants to Class Members who submit acceptable Proofs of Claim .

This package explains the lawsuit, the settlement, Class Members' legal rights, what benefits areavailable, who is eligible for them, and how to get them .

The Court in charge of the case is the United States District Court for the District of

Massachusetts, and the case is known as In re Raytheon Company Securities Litigation, Civil

Action No . 99-12142 (PBS). This case was assigned to United States District Judge Patti B .

Saris . The people who sued are called plaintiffs, and the company and the persons they sued,

Raytheon, certain of its officers and directors (the "Individual Defendants" as defined below),

and its outside accountant, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), are called Defendants.

The "Individual Defendants" are Dennis J . Picard (former Chief Executive Officer, President ofRaytheon and Chairman of the Board of Raytheon), Daniel P . Burnham (former President, ChiefOperating Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Raytheon), Peter R .D'Angelo (former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Raytheon), FranklynA. Caine (former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Raytheon), Shay D .Assad (a former Executive Vice President of Raytheon and Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of the Raytheon Engineers & Constructors business segment), and William H . Swanson(currently President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Raytheon) .

2. What is this lawsuit about?

The Second Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint dated March 17, 2003 (the"Second Amended Complaint") alleges that Raytheon and the Individual Defendants misledinvestors by knowingly or recklessly overstating its financial condition , and that PwC knowinglyor recklessly misrepresented that Raytheon 's audited 1998 financial statements fairly presented

its financial condition in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting P rinciples ("GAAP")

and that PwC had audited Raytheon 's financial statements in accordance with Generally

Page 60: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

Accepted Auditing Standards ("GAAS") . The lawsuit also claims that Raytheon issuedstatements that had false and misleading information about Raytheon ' s income and earn ings pershare during the Class Pe riod. All Defendants deny they did anything wrong and have assertednumerous defenses to the lawsuit 's allegations throughout the litigation and settlement.

3. Why is this a class action?

In a class action, one or more people called Class Representatives (in this case Lead Plaintiff, theNew York State Common Retirement Fund ("NYSCRF")), sue on behalf of people who havesimilar claims . All these people are a Class or Class Members . One court resolves the issues forall Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class .

4. Why is there a settlement?

Beginning on October 14, 1999, twelve class actions alleging violations of federal securities lawswere filed in this court and then consolidated into this Action on March 20, 2000 . On March 20,2000 the Court appointed NYSCRF as the Lead Plaintiff and appointed Milberg Weiss Bershad& Schulman LLP as Lead Counsel. A Consolidated and Amended Complaint was filed on June12, 2000 .

On September 8, 2000, both the Raytheon Defendants and PwC moved to dismiss theConsolidated and Amended Complaint . After full briefing by Lead Plaintiff and Defendants anda February 9, 2001 hearing on the motions to dismiss, the Court, by Memorandum and Orderdated August 29, 2001, denied, in part, and granted, in part, the Raytheon Defendants' motion todismiss. The Raytheon Defendants filed an answer to the Consolidated and Amended Complainton October 2, 2001 denying liability. The Court granted PwC's motion to dismiss, but withoutprejudice, which allowed Lead Plaintiff to re-plead claims against PwC, which it did in theSecond Amended Complaint filed March 17, 2003 .

Lead Plaintiff moved to certify the Action as a class action on November 15, 2001 . The Court,

by Order dated March 22, 2002, certified the Action to proceed as a class action, and certifiedLead Plaintiff New York State Common Retirement Fund as class representative on behalf of a

Class consisting of all persons or entities who, during the period from October 7, 1998 throughOctober 12, 1999, inclusive, purchased Raytheon Company Class A and/or Class B common

stock and were allegedly damaged thereby. Excluded from the Class are Defendants, all of theofficers, directors, and partners thereof, members of their immediate families, and their legal

representatives, heirs, successors or assigns and any entity in which any of the foregoing have or

had a controlling interest . A notice of the Pendency of this Action as a class action (the "Noticeof Pendency") dated September 13, 2002 was mailed to Class Members on or about October 11,

2002 and a summary notice was published in the national edition of The Wall Street Journal on

October 21, 2002. In response to the Notice of Pendency, ninety-one requests for exclusion fro m

7

Page 61: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

the Class were received and were filed with the Court . Persons who previously requestedexclusion from the Class are excluded and may not now file a Proof of Claim .

The Second Amended Complaint was filed March 17, 2003 . It generally alleges, among otherthings, that the Raytheon Defendants issued false and misleading press releases and otherstatements regarding Raytheon's financial condition during the Class Period - from October 7,1998 through and including October 12, 1999. The Second Amended Complaint also allegedthat PwC's audit report was false and misleading in that, in violation of GAAS, PwC issued anunqualified audit report on Raytheon's 1998 financial statements which were not presented inaccordance with GAAP . The Complaint further alleges that Lead Plaintiff and other ClassMembers purchased Raytheon Class A and/or Class B common stock during the Class Period atprices artificially inflated as a result of Defendants' dissemination of false and misleadingstatements regarding Raytheon in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder .

PwC moved to dismiss the claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint on April 24, 2003 .

After full briefing by Lead Plaintiff and PwC and a May 19, 2003 hearing on PwC's motion todismiss, the Court, by Order dated May 21, 2003, denied PwC's motion to dismiss the SecondAmended Complaint in substantial part .

The Raytheon Defendants and PwC filed answers to the Second Amended Complaint denyingany liability on April 28, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively .

Both the Raytheon Defendants and PwC moved for summary judgment on February 20, 2004 .

After full briefing by Lead Plaintiff and Defendants and an April 8, 2004 hearing on the

summary judgment motions, the Court denied the Raytheon Defendants' motion on April 20,

2004 and PwC's motion on April 26, 2004 . In an April 26, 2004 Order, the Court dismissed

(upon PwC's motion, which Lead Plaintiff opposed) the Section 10(b) claims against PwC for

purchases before March 30, 1999, which was the date on which PwC's unqualified audit report

was published. The Court also modified its March 22, 2002 class certification order as to PwC

to limit the class period against PwC to March 30, 1999 through October 12, 1999 . For purposes

of the PwC Settlement the Court has again modified the class certification with respect to PwC to

include the entire Class Period. By the proposed Settlements claims will be settled as to all

defendants for the entire Class Period, October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999 inclusive .

Plaintiff's Lead Counsel have conducted an extensive investigation relating to the claims,

defenses and the underlying events and transactions alleged in the Complaint . Defendants'

Counsel have done the same. Plaintiff's Lead Counsel and Defendants' Counsel have reviewed

hundreds of thousands of documents produced by defendants and numerous non-parties, deposed

over thirty (30) witnesses and completed expert discovery . Plaintiff's Lead Counsel successfully

opposed defendants' motions for summary judgment and several motions in limine before

settlements were reached . The settlement with the Raytheon Defendants was not reached until

May 11, 2004, the eve of trial, after repeated mediations, first with a federal judge in Boston and

secondly with a retired federal judge . The settlement with PwC was not reached until May 25,

2004, after empanelment of a jury and before opening statements . Plaintiff's Lead Counsel have

analyzed the evidence adduced during pretrial discovery and have researched the applicable la w

8

Page 62: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

with respect to the claims of Lead Plaintiff and the Class against the Defendants and the potentialdefenses thereto .

The Court did not finally decide in favor of Lead Plaintiff or Defendants who continue to denyliability. Instead, Lead Plaintiff and the Raytheon Defendants agreed to a settlement on May 11,2004 and thereafter Lead Plaintiff and PwC agreed to a Settlement on May 25, 2004. By settlingthe parties avoid the risks and additional costs of the trial, and the affected Class Members willget compensation .

required to be submitted by 200_.

The Settlement Warrants shall have an exercise price of $37 .50 per share and shall have a five

(5) year term from the date of their original issuance . The number of Settlement Warrants thatwill equal a value of $200,000,000 shall be calculated under the Black-Scholes methodologyusing specified assumptions and an average of trading prices shortly before the SettlementWarrants are actually issued to Authorized Claimants, as more specifically set forth in theStipulation. Settlement Warrants will not be issued for fractional shares of stock .

The Settlement Warrants shall be freely tradable and Raytheon shall cause the SettlementWarrants to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange for trading .

PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND AMONG CLASS MEMBERS

The $210,000,000 Raytheon Defendants' Cash Settlement Amount, the $50,000,000 PwC CashSettlement Amount, and any interest earned thereon shall be the "Gross Cash Settlement Funds ."The Gross Cash Settlement Funds, less all taxes, approved costs, fees and expenses (the "NetCash Settlement Funds") shall be distributed by the Claims Administrator to members of theClass who submit acceptable Proofs of Claim ("Authorized Claimants") .

The $200,000,000 in Settlement Warrants, less all approved attorneys' fees payable inSettlement Warrants, shall be the "Net Settlement Warrants ." The Net Settlement Warrants shallbe distributed to Authorized Claimants by Raytheon in accordance with the Court approvedDistribution Order and the Net Settlement Warrant Distribution Plan prepared by the ClaimsAdministrator .

17

Page 71: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

The following proposed Plan of Allocation reflects Plaintiff's Lead Counsel's proposition thatthe decreases in the price of Raytheon Class A and Class B common stock occurring upon therevelations made by Raytheon around September 16, 1999 and on October 12, 1999 reflected theelimination of the alleged artificial inflation that the Defendants' purported misrepresentationsmay have caused. Plaintiffs' damages expert reported that, in his opinion, during the ClassPeriod until September 13, 1999 the price of Raytheon common stock was inflated artificially byapproximately 28 .4%; that the alleged artificial inflation reduced to 25 .4% on September 14, and15 ; 17.65% on September 16 ; 13 .4% on September 17; and was 9 .5% from September 18through the time trading was suspended on October 12, 1999; after which no artificial inflation isalleged to have affected the price of Raytheon common stock .

With respect to the recovery from PwC, the proposed Plan also takes into account the fact thatthe Court has dismissed the claims made against PwC with respect to the period prior to March30, 1999, and had indicated an intention to dismiss the claims made against PwC with respect tothe period after September 16, 1999 and the fact that while there is a right to appeal suc hdeterminations, such claims face a greater hurdle to recovery than claims against PwC relating topurchases made during the period March 30, 1999 through September 16, 1999 inclusive .

Defendants do not agree with any of the Plaintiff's damage experts' opinions that there was anyartificial inflation .

The Claims Administrator shall determine each Authorized Claimant's pro rata shares of the NetCash Settlement Fund and Net Settlement Warrants from the Settlement with the RaytheonDefendants based upon each Authorized Claimant's "Recognized Claim ." The ClaimsAdministrator shall determine each Authorized Claimant's fro rata shares of the Net CashSettlement Fund from the Settlement with PwC based upon each Authorized Claimant's"Recognized PwC Claim ." The Recognized Claim formulae are not intended to be an estimate ofthe amount of what a Class Member might have been able to recover after a trial ; nor are theyestimates of the amount that will be paid to Authorized Claimants pursuant to the settlement .The Recognized Claim formulae are the basis upon which the Net Cash Settlement Funds and

Net Settlement Warrants will be proportionately allocated to the Authorized Claimants .

Allocation of Settlement Proceeds from Raytheon Defendants for Class B Shares :

For purposes of allocating the Net Settlement Fund from the Raytheon Defendants and the NetSettlement Warrants, the Claims Administrator shall determine each Authorized Claimant's prorata share of the Net Settlement Fund from the Raytheon Defendants and the Net SettlementWarrants based upon each Authorized Claimant's "Recognized Claim" calculated as follows :

IN RE RAYTHEON COMPANYSECURITIES LITIGATION

THIS DOCUMENT RELATES TO :ALL ACTIONS

Civil Action No .99-12142-PB S

ORDER AND FINAL JUDGMENT

On the day of 2004, a hearing was held before this Court to

determine: (1) whether the terms and conditions of the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement

dated August _, 2004 (the "Stipulation") are fair, reasonable and adequate for the settlement of

all claims asserted by Lead Plaintiff and the Class against the Raytheon Defendants and

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") in the Complaint now pending in this Court under the

above caption, including the release of the Defendants and the Released Parties, and should be

approved ; (2) whether judgment should be entered dismissing the Complaint on the merits and

with prejudice in favor of the Defendants and as against all persons or entities who are members

of the Class herein who have not requested exclusion therefrom ; (3) whether to approve the Plan

of Allocation as a fair and reasonable method to allocate the settlement proceeds among the

members of the Class ; and (4) whether and in what amount to award Plaintiffs' Counsel fees and

reimbursement of expenses . The Court 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, wh o

purchased the Class A and/or Class B common stock of Raytheon Company ("Raytheon") durin g

the period from October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999, inclusive (the "Class Period"), as

Page 100: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

shown by the records of Raytheon's transfer agent and the records compiled by the Notic e

Administrator in connection with its previous mailing of the Notice of Pendency, at th e

respective addresses set forth in such records, except those persons or entities excluded from th e

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 i n

the national edition of The Wall Street Journal pursuant to the specifications of the Court ; and

the Court having considered and determined the fairness and reasonableness of the award o f

attorneys' fees and expenses requested ; and all capitalized terms used herein having the

meanings as set forth and defined in the Stipulation .

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT :

The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action, the Lead

Plaintiff, all Class Members, and the Defendants .

2 . The Court finds that the prerequisites for a class action under Federal Rules o f

Civil Procedure 23 (a) and (b)(3) have been satisfied in that: (a) the number of Class Members i s

so numerous that joinder of all members thereof is impracticable ; (b) there are questions of law

and fact common to the Class ; (c) the claims of the Class Representatives are typical of th e

claims of the Class they seek to represent ; (d) the Class Representatives have and will fairly and

adequately represent the interests of the Class ; (e) the questions of law and fact common to the

members of the Class predominate over any questions affecting only individual members of th e

Class; and (f) a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficien t

adjudication of the controversy .

Pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and for the purpose s

of the Settlements this Court hereby finally certifies this action as a class action on behalf of al l

2

Page 101: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

persons or entities who purchased Class A and/or Class B common stock of Raytheon Company

during the period from October 7, 1998 through October 12, 1999, inclusive, and who wer e

allegedly damaged thereby . Excluded from the Class are the Defendants, all of the officers ,

directors, and partners thereof, members of their immediate families, and their lega l

representatives, heirs, successors or assigns and any entity in which any of the foregoing have o r

had a controlling interest. Also excluded from the Class are the persons and/or entities wh o

previously excluded themselves from the Class in accordance with the requirements set forth i n

the Notice of Pendency, as listed on Exhibit 1 annexed hereto . Also excluded from the Class

with respect to the PwC Settlement are the persons and/or entities who excluded themselves from

the Class with respect to the PwC Settlement in accordance with the requirements set forth in th e

Settlement Notice, as listed on Exhibit 2 annexed hereto .

4. Notice of the Proposed Settlements was given to all Class Members who could b e

identified with reasonable effort . The form and method of notifying the Class of the terms and

conditions of the proposed Se tt lements met the requirements of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules o f

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, due process, an d

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 .

The Settlements are approved as fair, reasonable and adequate to the Clas s

Members, and the Class Members and the parties are directed to consummate the Settlements i n

accordance with the terms and provisions of the Stipulation .

3

payment at the same net rate that the Gross Cash Settlement Funds earn . The award of attorneys '

9

Page 108: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

15. In making this award of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses to be pai d

from the Gross Settlement Funds, the Court has considered and found that :

(a) the settlements have created funds of $260 million in cash that is already

on deposit, plus interest thereon, and $200 million in warrants, that thousands of Class Member s

who submit acceptable Proofs of Claim will benefit from the Settlement created by Plaintiff' s

Lead Counsel ;

(b) Over copies of the Settlement Notice were disseminated t o

putative Class Members indicating that Plaintiff's Lead Counsel were moving for attorneys' fees

in the amount of nine percent (9%) of each of the Gross Cash Settlement Funds and Gross

Settlement Warrants, and for reimbursement of expenses in an amount not to exceed

approximately $8,250,000 and [only _ ] [no] objections were filed against the terms of the

proposed Settlement or the fees and expenses requested by Plaintiffs' Counsel contained in th e

Settlement Notice ;

(c) Plaintiff's Lead Counsel have conducted the litigation and achieved the

Settlement with skill, perseverance and diligent advocacy ;

(d) The action involves complex factual and legal issues and was activel y

prosecuted and defended over five years and, in the absence of a settlement, would involv e

further lengthy proceedings with uncertain resolution of the complex factual and legal issues ;

(e) Had Plaintiff's Lead Counsel not achieved the Settlement there would

remain a significant risk that Lead Plaintiff and the Class may have recovered less or nothin g

from the Defendants ; and

10

Page 109: 4 Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement 08/17/2004

(f) The amount of attorneys' fees awarded and expenses reimbursed from the

Settlement proceeds are fair and reasonable in comparison with awards in similar cases .

16. Lead Plaintiff is hereby awarded from the Gross Cash Settlement Funds the su m

of $ for reimbursement of its reasonable costs and expenses directly relating to

its representation of the Class, plus interest on such expenses (at the same net interest rate as is

earned on the Gross Cash Settlement Funds from the date the Gross Cash Settlement Funds ar e

deposited into escrow to the date of payment) .

17 . Exclusive jurisdiction is hereby retained over the parties and the Class Member s

for all matters relating to this Action, including the administration, interpretation, effectuation or

enforcement of the Stipulation and this Order and Final Judgment, and including any applicatio n

for fees and expenses incurred in connection with administering and distributing the settlement

proceeds to the members of the Class .

18. Without further order of the Court, the parties may agree to reasonable extensions

of time to carry out any of the provisions of the Stipulation .

19. There is no just reason for delay in the entry of this Order and Final Judgment and

immediate entry by the Clerk of the Court is expressly directed pursuant to Rule 54 (b) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure .
