We cannot offer any advice as to what you should do. That said, you have five options:

First, to qualify for a payment, you must submit a valid Proof of Claim and Release form. A Proof of Claim and Release form is being circulated with the Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement. You may also get a Proof of Claim and Release form here. Read the instructions carefully, fill out the form, include all the documents the form asks for, sign it, and mail it postmarked no later than August 31, 2007. There are spaces listed for every company included in this Settlement. You may include shares for all of the listed companies that you purchased on the same claim form.

Second, you can exclude yourself from the Class with respect to the Settlement. Pursuant to the Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement, class members are allowed to request exclusion, in writing, postmarked on or before June 18, 2007. Persons who exclude themselves will NOT receive any share of the Settlement proceeds and will not be bound by the Settlement. Detailed directions on how to exclude yourself from the Settlement are contained on page 13 of the Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement.

Third, you may object and write to the court about why you do not agree with the Settlement or any part of it. Objections must be received by June 18, 2007. Persons who exclude themselves from the Class are not affected by the settlements and may not object to the Settlement. Detailed directions on how to object to the settlement - and to make an appearance at the Settlement Fairness Hearing - are contained on page 15 of the Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement.

Persons who object to the Settlement must still submit a Proof of Claim and Release form in order to receive any share of the Settlements’ proceeds in the event the Court approves the Settlement. Submitting a Proof of Claim and Release does not waive any objection that you file. Submitting an objection does not does not exclude you from the Class.

Fourth, you may go to the Fairness Hearing on July 25, 2007. The Court will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the proposed Settlement. You may attend and you may ask to speak, but you do not have to. Refer to “What is the Settlement Fairness Hearing?” below.

Lastly, you can do nothing. If you do nothing, you will get no money from this Settlement. If you do nothing, upon the effective date of the settlement, you will release all settled claims against the released parties. You must submit a Proof of Claim and Release form in order to share in the net settlement funds.

If the court approves the settlement, the proposed Settlement creates a fund in the amount of $125,000,000 in cash (plus a cash amount equivalent to interest which has been accruing since March 30, 2006). If and when such approval becomes final, and the claims administration process has been completed, that fund, after payment of fees and expenses awarded or allowed by the Court, will be divided among all Class Members who send in a valid Proof of Claim and Release form. The amount that any class member will receive will depend on several factors, including, for example, when the class member purchased the securities and when they were sold, the size of the class members’ claim, the number of claims filed, and the total of the losses of all claims filed. Proof of Claim and Release forms must be postmarked on or before August 31, 2007, to be considered valid. Please refer to the Notice for an explanation of how the funds will be allocated (Plan of Allocation) and the amounts that pertain to company’s whose stock you purchased.

You do not have to hire your own lawyer because class counsel is working on behalf of all Class Members. If you want your own lawyer to separately represent your own interests, to object to the Settlement or, if you exclude yourself, to bring a separate action against the defendants, you can hire a lawyer at your own expense.
