approve the proposed settlement for all the reasons set forth in the Trustee's pleadings
and the pleadings of the other parties, it is hereby ORDERED that the proposed
Settlement Agreement is APPROVED and EFFECTIVE.

It is further ORDERED that, except for claims reserved to Weyerhaeuser and the
Trustee as stated in paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Settlement Agreement, all claims,
