Case3:11-cv-02448-EMC Document174 Filed02/24/14 Page6 of 87
have suffered any damage, that the price of Oclaro common stock was artificially inflated by reasons
of alleged misrepresentations, non-disclosures or otherwise, or that the Lead Plaintiff or the Class

16 and appeals particularly in light of the procedural posture of the case and the most recent ruling
17 dismissing the Third Amended Complaint. Lead Plaintiff and its counsel also have taken into
18 account the uncertain outcome and the risk of any litigation, especially in complex actions such as
19 the Litigation, as well as the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. Lead Plaintiff and its
20 counsel also are mindful of the inherent problems of proof under and possible defenses to the
21 securities law violations asserted in the Litigation. its counsel believe

C. Taxes
2.7 (a) The Settling Parties and the Escrow Agent agree to treat the Settlement Fund
as being at all times a "Qualified Settlement Fund" within the meaning ofTreas. Reg. § 1.46813- 1. In
addition, the Escrow Agent shall timely make such elections as necessary or advisable to carry out
the provisions of this ¶2.7, including the "relation-back election" (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.46813-
1) back to the earliest permitted date. Such elections shall be made in compliance with the
procedures and requirements contained in such regulations. It shall be the responsibility of the
Escrow Agent to timely and properly prepare and deliver the necessary documentation for signature
by all necessary parties, and thereafter to cause the appropriate filing to occur.
(b) For the purpose of §1.468B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "administrator" shall be the Escrow
Agent. The Escrow Agent shall timely and properly file all informational and other tax returns
necessary or advisable with respect to the Settlement Fund (including, without limitation, the returns
described in Treas. Reg. §1.468B-2(k)). Such returns (as well as the election described in ¶2.7(a)
hereof) shall be consistent with this ¶2.7 and in all events shall reflect that all Taxes (including any
estimated Taxes, interest, or penalties) on the income earned by the Settlement Fund shall be paid
out of the Settlement Fund as provided in ¶2.7(c) hereof.
(c) All (a) taxes (including any estimated taxes, interest or penalties) arising with
respect to the income earned by the Settlement Fund, including any taxes or tax detriments that may
be imposed upon the Released Persons or their counsel with respect to any income earned by the
Settlement Fund for any period during which the Settlement Fund does not qualify as a "Qualified
Settlement Fund" for federal or state income tax purposes ("Taxes"), and (b) expenses and costs
incurred in connection with the operation and implementation of this ¶2.7 (including, without
limitation, expenses of tax attorneys and/or accountants and mailing and distribution costs and

reason of any such indemnification). Further, Taxes and Tax Expenses shall be treated as, and
considered to be, a cost of administration of the Settlement Fund and shall be timely paid by the
Escrow Agent out of the Settlement Fund without prior order from the Court and the Escrow Agent
shall be authorized (notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) to withhold from distribution to
Authorized Claimants any funds necessary to pay such amounts, including the establishment of
adequate reserves for any Taxes and Tax Expenses (as well as any amounts that may be required to
be withheld under Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-2(l)(2)); neither the Defendants nor their Related Parties are
responsible nor shall they have any liability for any Taxes or Tax Expenses. The parties hereto agree
to cooperate with the Escrow Agent, each other, and their tax attorneys and accountants to the extent
reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this ¶2.7.

is not materially delayed thereby.

substantially in accordance with the Plan of Allocation set forth in the Notice and approved by the

3 Judgment approving the Stipulation and the settlement set forth therein, or any other orders entered

6. Lead Counsel's Attorneys' Fees and Expenses
14
6.1
Lead Counsel may submit an application or applications (the "Fee and Expense
15 Application") for: (a) an award of attorneys' fees; plus (b) expenses incurred in connection with
16 prosecuting the Litigation, plus any interest on such attorneys' fees and expenses at the same rate
17 and for the same periods as earned by the Settlement Fund (until paid) as may be awarded by the
18 Court. Lead Counsel reserves the right to make additional applications for fees and expenses
19 incurred.
20
6.2 The fees and expenses, as awarded by the Court, shall be paid to Lead Counsel from
21 the Settlement Fund, as ordered, immediately after the Court executes an order such fees
22 and expenses and enters the Final Order. Lead Counsel may thereafter allocate the attorneys' fees
23 among other Plaintiffs' Counsel in a manner in which they in good faith believe reflects the
24 contributions of such counsel to the initiation, prosecution, and resolution of the Litigation.
25
6.3 If, and when, as a result of any appeal and/or other further proceedings on remand, or
26 successful collateral attack, the Fee and Expense Award is reversed or modified, or if the Stipulation
27 is canceled or terminated for any other reason or not approved by the Court, or if there is an appeal
28 and any order approving the settlement does not become final and binding upon the Class, then Lead

Case3:11-cv-02448-EMC Document174 Filed02/24/14 Page20 of 87
I Counsel shall, consistent with such termination, reversal or modification, refund to the Settlement
Fund such fees and expenses previously paid to them from the Settlement Fund, plus interest thereon
at the same rate as earned on the Settlement Fund, within ten (10) business days from receiving
notice from the Defendants' counsel or from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Any refunds
I required pursuant to this paragraph shall be the several obligation of each Plaintiffs' Counsel to
make appropriate refunds or repayments to the Settlement Fund. Each Plaintiffs' Counsel, as a
condition of receiving such fees, expenses and/or costs on behalf of itself and each partner and/or
shareholder of it, agrees that its law firm and its partners and/or shareholders are subject to the
jurisdiction by the Court for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this paragraph. Without
limitation, each Plaintiffs' Counsel agrees that the Court may, upon application of Defendants and
notice to Lead Counsel, summarily issue orders including, but not limited to, judgments and
attachment orders and may make appropriate findings of or sanctions for contempt, should such law
firm fail timely to repay fees and expenses pursuant to this ¶6.3.
6.4 The procedure for and the allowance or disallowance by the Court of any applications
by Lead Counsel for attorneys' fees and expenses, to be paid out of the Settlement Fund, are not part
of the settlement set forth in the Stipulation, and are to be considered by the Court separately from
the Court's consideration of the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the settlement set forth in
the Stipulation, and any order or proceeding relating to the Fee and Expense Application, or any
appeal from any order relating thereto or reversal or modification thereof, shall not operate to
terminate or cancel the Stipulation, or affect or delay the finality of the Judgment approving the
Stipulation and the settlement of the Litigation set forth therein.
6.5 Any fees and expenses awarded by the Court shall be paid solely from the Settlement
Fund. Defendants and their Related Parties shall have no responsibility for and no liability
whatsoever with respect to any payment of attorneys' fees and expenses to Plaintiffs' Counsel from
the Settlement Fund.
6.6 Defendants and their Related Parties shall have no responsibility for, and no liability
whatsoever with respect to, the allocation among any other counsel for Lead Plaintiff, and/or any
other Person who may assert some claim thereto, of any Fee and Expense Award that the Court may

Ifyou purchased or acquired Oclaro, Inc. ("Oclaro" or the "Company 9) 1 common stock
II during the period between May 6, 2010 and October 28, 2010, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and
are not otherwise excludedfrom the Class (see Question 6 below), you could get apaymentfroin a
II class action settlement.
A federal court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY AS YOUR
II RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE LITIGATION.
Security and Time Period: Oclaro common stock purchased or acquired between May 6,
11 2010 and October 28, 2010, inclusive.
Settlement Fund: $3,700,000 in cash plus any interest earned. Your recovery will depend
on the timing of your purchases, acquisitions, and sales of Oclaro common stock during the Class
Period. Based on the information currently available to Lead Plaintiff and the analysis performed by
its damages consultants, it is estimated that if Class Members submit claims for 100% of the
shares eligible for distribution under the Plan of Allocation (described below), the estimated
average distribution per share of common stock will be approximately $0.15 before deduction
of Court-approved fees and expenses, including the cost of notifying Members of the Class and
settlement administration and any attorneys' fees and expenses awarded by the Court to
counsel for the Lead Plaintiff. Historically, actual claims rates are less than 100%, which result in
higher distributions per share. A Class Member's actual recovery will be a proportion of the Net
Settlement Fund determined by that claimant's recognized claim as compared to the total recognized
claims of all Class Members who submit valid Proof of Claim and Release forms ("Proof of Claim").
Reasons for Settlement: Avoids the costs and risks associated with continued litigation,
I including the danger of no recovery.
If the Case Had Not Settled: Continuing with the case could have resulted in loss at
summary judgment, trial or on appeal. The two sides vigorously disagree on both liability and the
This Notice incorporates by reference the definitions in the Stipulation of Settlement dated as of February 5, 2014 ("Stipulation"), and all capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the same meanings as in the Stipulation.

1 amount of money that could have been won if Lead Plaintiff prevailed at trial. The issues on which
2 the parties disagree are many and include: (1) whether Defendants engaged in conduct that would
3 give rise to any liability to the Class under the federal securities laws, or any other laws; (2) whether
4 Defendants have valid defenses to any such claims of liability; (3) the method for determining
5 whether the price of Oclaro common stock was artificially inflated, if at all, during the relevant
6 period; (4) whether there was any such inflation and the amount of any such alleged inflation; (5) the
7 extent to which external factors or market factors influenced the trading price of Oclaro common
8 stock during the Class Period; (6) the extent that various facts alleged by Lead Plaintiff influenced
9 the trading price of Oclaro common stock during the Class Period; and (7) whether the facts alleged
10 were material, false, misleading or otherwise actionable under the federal securities laws.
11
Attorneys' Fees and Expenses: Court-appointed Lead Plaintiff's counsel will ask the Court
12 for attorneys' fees of 25% of the Settlement Fund and expenses not to exceed $175,000 to be paid
13 from the Settlement Fund plus interest. Lead Plaintiff's counsel have not received any payment for
14 their work for prosecuting this Litigation, and negotiating this settlement on behalf of the Lead
15 Plaintiff and the Class. If the above amounts are requested and approved by the Court, the average
16 cost per share of common stock will be approximately $0.04.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT
SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM If you are a Class Member and do not exclude yourself from
the Class, the only way to get a payment is to submit a claim
form. You may submit a claim form and still object to any
aspect of the settlement, the request for an award of attorneys'
fees and expenses and/or the Plan of Allocation. If you submit
a claim form, you give up your right to participate in another
lawsuit against the Defendants for the legal claims in this case.
See Answer to Question 12 for a more detailed description of
what you are giving up if you submit a claim form.
I EXCLUDE YOURSELF
Get no payment. This is the only option that allows you to
participate in another lawsuit against the Defendants for the
legal claims in this case.
I OBJECT
If you are a Class Member and do not exclude yourself from
the Class, you may write to the Court if you do not like the
settlement, the request for attorneys' fees and expenses, or the
Plan of Allocation. If you submit an objection to the
settlement, Plan of Allocation or the request for an award of
attorneys' fees and expenses and do not submit a claim form
seeking payment from the settlement proceeds, your objection
may be rejected because you would no longer have an interest
in the settlement.

13 will be made if the Court approves the settlement and, if there are any appeals, after appeals
14 are resolved. Please be patient.
151 BASIC INFORMATION
'El 1. Why did I get this notice package?
17 You or someone in your family may have purchased or acquired Oclaro common stock
18 between May 6, 2010 and October 28, 2010, inclusive.
19 The Court directed that you be sent this Notice because you have a right to know about a
20 proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit, and about all of your options, before the Court decides
21 whether to approve the settlement. If the Court approves it and after any objections or appeals (if
22 there are any) are resolved, the Claims Administrator appointed by the Court will make the payments
23 that the settlement allows.
24 This package explains the lawsuit, the settlement, your legal rights, what benefits are
25 available, who is eligible for them, and how to get them.
26 The Court in charge of the case is the United States District Court for the Northern District of
27 California, and the case is known as Westley v. Oclaro, Inc., No. Cli -02448-EMC. The entity that

1 leads the Litigation, Connecticut Laborers' Pension Fund, is called the Lead Plaintiff and the
2 I company and the individuals it sued are called Defendants.
2. What is this lawsuit about?
4
Defendant Oclaro provides optical components and subsystems to the telecommunications
5 industry. This is a securities class action on behalf of all persons who purchased or acquired the
6 common stock of Oclaro between May 6, 2010 and October 28, 2010, inclusive, against Oclaro and
7 certain of its officers and/or directors for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
8 ("Exchange Act"). Lead Plaintiff alleges that throughout the Class Period— and more specifically in
9 May, June, July and August 2010 - the Company and certain of its top executives made false and
10 misleading statements to the investment community concerning purported current and increasingly
11 strong customer demand for Oclaro's products. In addition, Lead Plaintiff alleges that Defendants
12 made false and misleading statements in July and August 2010 in issuing (and then reaffirming)
13 Oclaro' s increased revenue and earnings guidance for first quarter 2011 (" 1Q1 1") (ended October 2,
14 2010) and accelerated margin guidance for the calendar year 2010 at a time they were aware of facts
15 seriously undermining the reasonableness of these projections. In July and August 2010, Lead
16 Plaintiff alleges that Defendants also misrepresented to the market the significance of Oclaro's close
17 customer relationships by inaccurately boasting that these relationships provided them with
18 knowledge of existing order firmness as well as future customer needs. Lead Plaintiff alleges that
19 when Defendants disclosed the truth about the Company's true condition, Class Members suffered
20 damages as a result of the decline in the price of Oclaro common stock.
21
Defendants have denied and continue to deny each and all of the claims and allegations of
22 wrongdoing made by Lead Plaintiff in the Litigation and maintain furthermore that they have
23 meritorious defenses. Defendants expressly have denied and continue to deny all charges of
24 wrongdoing or liability against them arising out of any of the conduct, statements, acts or omissions
25 alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Litigation. Defendants also have denied and continue
26 to deny, among other allegations, the allegations that the Lead Plaintiff or the Class have suffered
27 any damage, that the price of Oclaro common stock was artificially inflated by reasons of alleged

1 I misrepresentations, non-disclosures or otherwise, or that the Lead Plaintiff or the Class were harmed
2 I by the conduct alleged in the Litigation.
3
3. Why is this a class action?
4
In a class action, one or more people called class representatives (in this case, the Court-
5 appointed Connecticut Laborers' Pension Fund as Lead Plaintiff), sue on behalf of people who have
6 similar claims. All of these people and/or entities are called a class or class members. One judge -
7 in this case, United States District Court Judge Edward M. Chen - resolves the issues for all Class
8 I Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class.
9
4. Why is there a settlement?
10
The Court did not decide in favor of the Lead Plaintiff or Defendants. Instead, the lawyers
11 for both sides of the lawsuit have negotiated a settlement, with the assistance of the Honorable Layn
12 R. Phillips (Ret.), a former United States District Court Judge, that they believe is in the best
13 interests of their respective clients. The settlement allows both sides to avoid the risks and cost of
14 lengthy and uncertain litigation and the uncertainty of a trial and appeals, and permits Class
15 Members to be compensated without further delay. The Lead Plaintiff and its attorneys think the
16 I settlement is best for all Class Members.
17
WHO GETS MONEY FROM THE SETTLEMENT
18
To see if you will get money from this settlement, you first have to determine if you are a
19 I Class Member.
20
5. How do I know if I am part of the settlement?
21
The Class includes all Persons who purchased or acquired Oclaro 's common stock between
22 May 6, 2010 and October 28, 2010, inclusive.
23
6. Are there exceptions to being included in the Class?
24
Yes. Excluded from the Class are Defendants, Oclaro's officers and directors during the
25 I Class Period, and their immediate families and affiliates. Also excluded from the Class are those
26 I Persons who timely and validly request exclusion from the Class pursuant to this Notice.

THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS - WHAT YOU GET
7
8. What does the settlement provide?
8
Oclaro has agreed to pay or cause to be paid $3,700,000 in cash (the "Settlement Fund").
9 The Settlement Fund, plus interest earned from the date it is established, less costs, fees, and
10 expenses (the "Net Settlement Fund"), will be divided among all eligible Class Members who send
11 in valid Proofs of Claim ("Authorized Claimants"). Costs, fees, and expenses include Court-
12 approved attorneys' fees and expenses, the costs of notifying Class Members, including the costs of
13 printing and mailing this Notice and the cost of publishing newspaper notice, the costs of claims
14 administration, and taxes on the Settlement Fund.
15
9. How much will my payment be?
16
Your share of the Net Settlement Fund will depend on the number of valid Proofs of Claim
17 that Class Members send in and how many shares of Oclaro common stock you purchased and/or
18 acquired during the relevant period and when you purchased, acquired and/or sold them. You can
19 estimate the payment you might receive if all Class Members submit claims by inputting your
20 transactions in Oclaro's common stock in a calculator at www.oclarosettlement.com .
21
For purposes of determining the amount an Authorized Claimant may recover under the Plan
22 of Allocation, Lead Plaintiff's counsel conferred with their damages consultants and the Plan of
23 Allocation reflects theirjudgment regarding the relative strengths of the claims at issue in light of the
24 order issued by the District Court that they believe could have been recovered had Lead Plaintiff
25 prevailed at trial.
26
In the unlikely event there are sufficient funds in the Net Settlement Fund, each Authorized
27 Claimant will receive an amount equal to the Authorized Claimant's claim, as defined below. If,
28 however, the amount in the Net Settlement Fund is not sufficient to permit payment of the total
8768354 NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION - Cl 1-02448-EMC -7-
Case3:11-cv-02448-EMC Document174 Filed02/24/14 Page49 of 87
claim of each Authorized Claimant, then each Authorized Claimant shall be paid the percentage of
the Net Settlement Fund that each Authorized Claimant's claim bears to the total of the claims of all
Authorized Claimants. Payment in this manner shall be deemed conclusive against all Authorized
Claimants.
A "Claim" will be calculated as follows:
The calculation of claims below is not an estimate of the amount you will receive. It is a
formula for allocating the Net Settlement Fund among all Authorized Claimants.
The allocation below is based on the following Inflation Amounts as well as the statutory
I PSLRA 90-day look-back amount of $11.53.
1. For shares of Oclaro common stock purchased or acquired, on or between May 6,
2010 through October 27, 2010, the claim per share shall be as follows:
(a) If sold on or between May 6, 2010 through October 27, 2010, the claim per
share shall be the lesser of (i) the inflation in Table A at the time of purchase less the inflation in
Table A at the time of sale; and (ii) the difference between the purchase price and the selling price.
(b) If retained at the end of October 27, 2010 and sold prior to January 25, 2011,
the claim per share shall be the lesser of (i) the inflation in Table A at the time of purchase; (ii) the
difference between the purchase price and the selling price; and (iii) the difference between the
purchase price per share and the average closing price per share up to the date of sale as set forth in
Table B below.
(c) If retained at the close of trading on January 24, 2011, or sold on January 25,
2011 or thereafter, the claim per share shall be the lesser of (i) the inflation in Table A at the time of
purchase; and (ii) the difference between the purchase price per share and $11.53 per share.
2. For shares of Oclaro common stock purchased or acquired, on October 28, 2010, the
claim per share shall be $0 . 00. 2
2 Please note that although the Class Period includes October 28, 2010, shares of Oclaro common stock that were purchased and/or acquired on October 28, 20 10 are not eligible for a recovery under the Plan of Allocation because the disclosure made on October 28, 2010 that Lead Plaintiff alleges corrected earlier alleged misrepresentations and omissions was made before the opening of trading that day.

For Class Members who held Oclaro common stock at the beginning of the Class Period or
made multiple purchases, acquisitions or sales during the Class Period, the first-in, first-out ("FIFO")
I method will be applied to such holdings, purchases, acquisitions and sales for purposes of
21 calculating a claim. Under the FIFO method, sales of Oclaro common stock during the Class Period
22 will be matched, in chronological order, first against common stock held at the beginning of the
23 I Class Period. The remaining sales of Oclaro common stock during the Class Period will then be
24 I matched, in chronological order, against Oclaro common stock purchased or acquired during the
25 I Class Period.
26
An Authorized Claimant will be eligible to receive a distribution from the Net Settlement
27 Fund only if a Class Member had a net loss, after all profits from transactions in Oclaro common
28 stock during the Class Period are subtracted from all losses. However, the proceeds from sales of
876835_4 11 NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION - C11-02448-EMC _10-
Case3:11-cv-02448-EMC Document174 Filed02/24/14 Page52 of 87
1 I Oclaro common stock which have been matched against Oclaro common stock held at the beginning
2 I of the Class Period will not be used in the calculation of such net loss.
3
If there is sufficient money left in the Net Settlement Fund after six months from the initial
4 date of distribution of the Net Settlement Fund to Class Members to make a second distribution, a
5 second distribution from the Net Settlement Fund will be made to Authorized Claimants who cashed
6 their check in the initial distribution. The second distribution would be based on the percentage of
7 the Net Settlement Fund that each such Authorized Claimant bears to the total of the claims of all
8 Authorized Claimants who cashed their check in the initial distribution.
9
A second distribution will not be made to an Authorized Claimant if the second distribution
10 would be less than one dollar. Furthermore, a second distribution will not be made if the Net
11 Settlement Fund after six months from the initial date of distribution is less than $10,000, in which
12 case the remaining funds would be distributed to the Bay Area Legal Aid pursuant to 15.6 of the
13 Stipulation.
14
The Court has reserved jurisdiction to allow, disallow or adjust the claim of any Class
15 Member on equitable grounds.
16
Payment pursuant to the Plan of Allocation set forth above shall be conclusive against all
17 Authorized Claimants. No Person shall have any claim against Lead Plaintiff, any Plaintiffs'
18 counsel, any claims administrator or other Person designated by Lead Plaintiff's counsel or
19 Defendants and/or the Related Parties and/or the Released Persons and/or their counsel based on
20 distributions made pursuant to the Stipulation and the settlement contained therein, the Plan of
21 1 Allocation, or further orders of the Court. All Class Members who fail to complete and file a valid
22 and timely Proof of Claim shall be barred from participating in distributions from the Net Settlement
23 Fund (unless otherwise ordered by the Court), but otherwise shall be bound by all of the terms of the
24 Stipulation, including the terms of any order and/or judgment entered and the releases given.

Settlement Fund as early as nine months after the fairness hearing. Please be patient.
10
12. What am I giving up to get a payment or stay in the Class?

23 concealed or hidden, asserted or that might have been asserted, by Lead Plaintiff or the Class
24 Members, or any of them, against the Released Persons based upon, arising out of, or related to (a)
25 the purchase or acquisition of Oclaro common stock during the Class Period and any of the facts,

16
EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT
17
If you do not want a payment from this settlement, but you want to keep the right to sue or
18 continue to sue the Defendants on your own about the same issues in this case, then you must take
19 steps to get out of the Class. This is called excluding yourself or is sometimes referred to as opting
20 out of the Class.
21
13. How do I get out of the Class?
22
To exclude yourself from the Class, you must send a letter by mail stating that you want to be
23 excluded from Westley v. Oclaro, Inc., No. C11-02448-EMC. You must include your name,

I legally bound by anything that happens in this lawsuit.
14. If I do not exclude myself, can I sue Defendants for the same thing later?

I Parties for the claims that this settlement resolves. Remember, the exclusion deadline is
2014.
15. If! exclude myself, can I get money from this settlement?
No. If you exclude yourself, do not send in a Proof of Claim to ask for any money. Once
you exclude yourself, you will receive no cash payment even if you also submit a Proof of Claim.
THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU
16. Do I have a lawyer in this case?
The Court appointed the law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP to represent you
and other Class Members. These lawyers are called Lead Counsel. These lawyers will apply to the
Court for payment from the Settlement Fund; you have not been and will not otherwise be charged

expense.

fees of 25% of the Settlement Fund and for expenses up to $175,000, which were incurred in

compensation will be paid from the Settlement Fund. Class Members are not personally liable for
any such fees or expenses. To date, Lead Plaintiff's counsel have not received any payment for their
services in conducting this Litigation on behalf of the Lead Plaintiff and the Class, nor have counsel

If you are a Class Member (and you have not excluded yourself), you can object to the

1 actions; (ii) the extent and nature of any litigation concerning the controversy already commenced by
2 Members of the Class; (iii) the desirability or undesirability of continuing the litigation of these
3 claims in this particular forum; and (iv) the difficulties likely to be encountered in the management
