YOU ARE ALSO NOTIFIED that the Action has been certified as a class action on behalf of the Class. Certain persons and entities are, however, excluded from the Class by definition as set forth in the full printed Notice of (I) Pendency of Class Action, Class Certification, and Proposed Settlement; (II) Settlement Hearing; and (III) Motion for an Award of Attorneys' Fees and Reimbursement of Litigation Expenses (the "Notice"), which more completely describes the Settlement and your rights thereunder.
