APPENDIX B

The following limitations apply to the recovery of common benefit fees by the firms identified:

1. Khorrami Pollards (“Khorrami”) is to receive a minimum award of $77,000.00. In the

disbursement recommended by this motion, the Trustee will disburse to Khorrami the full amount of $77,000.00 which is Khorrami’s 0.097 percent share of the $62.3 million available for disbursement plus an additional $16,569.00 to reach the firm’s minimum of $77,000.00. Khorrami will receive no additional money from future disbursements unless and until the Common Benefit Fund (“Fund”) has recovered the $16,569.00 paid early. Once that recovery has occurred, Khorrami will receive future distributions at the identified percentage of 0.097 percent.

2. Diane Fenner (“Fenner”) was guaranteed a minimum award of $250,000.00. In the disbursement recommended by this motion, the Trustee will disburse to Fenner the full amount of $250,000.00 which is Fenner’s 0.325 percent share of the $62.3 million available for disbursement plus an additional $47,525.00 to reach the firm’s minimum of $250,000.00. Fenner will receive no additional money from future disbursements unless and until the Fund has recovered the $47,475.00 paid early. Once that recovery has occurred, Fenner will receive future distributions at the identified percentage of 0.325 percent.

3. Finkelstein & Partners (“Finkelstein”) was guaranteed a minimum of $800,000.00. In the

disbursement recommended by this motion, the Trustee will disburse to Finkelstein the full amount of $800,000.00 which is Finkelstein’s 1.036 percent of the $62.3 million available for disbursement plus an additional $154,572.00 to reach the firm’s minimum of $800,000.00. Finkelstein will receive no additional money from future disbursements until the Fund has recovered the $154,572.00 paid early. Once that recovery has occurred, Finkelstein will receive future distributions at the identified percentage of 1.036 percent.

4. Weisbrod / Miller & Curtis (“Weisbrod”) is to receive a flat fee of $ 1 million. This

adjustment yields an addition to the funds available for other firms of $28,573.00 (which is the difference between the amount Weisbrod would have received at 1.651 percent of the Fund and $ 1 million).

5. Hausfeld / Cohen Millstein (“Hausfeld”) is to receive a one-time payment of $91,000 in

addition to its 2.441 percent share in the Fund.


2

The difference between each disbursement and the firm’s share will come from the Holdback Fund, with the exception of the addition to the Holdback Fund relating to Weisbrod’s payment. The Holdback Fund, originally set at $ 4 million, will actually be $3,718,907. 4,000,000 – (16,569 + 47,525 + 154,572 + 91,000) + 28,573

Decision: To Members of the Common Fund Fee Committee: Special Master Ruling 1) It appears to me the Ury & Moskow firm was inadvertently omitted from the list of "32" common fund participants. This is not an error of allocation; it is a straight mistake in having failed to place them amongst the 100% of those who made common contributions to the total effort. LB agrees with the other members of the Fee Committee that Ury & Moskow are deserving of being amongst the common fund recipients As such, they ought not to be paid out of the $4,000,000 holdback fund, but ought to placed, as they properly should have been, as part of the common fund recipients. [Ury & Moskow are, then, to be dealt with as was the Wetherall firm] 2) The parties' agreement that I will deal with the 45% question and that there have been no findings concerning any professional issues as to any of the common fund counsel [the agreement filed, but withdrawn from the Court record last week] is complete in itself. It is not to be incorporated into the text of the Common Fund Fee Distribution Agreement agreed upon last week, and as modified last Friday and today. It is free-standing, and will be filed with the Common Fund Fee Distribution Agreement, as part of a complete resolution of these matters. James M. Rosenbaum United States District Judge (Ret.) Court-Appointed Special Master
