<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">On February 19, 2010, counsel for
the Plaintiff class, Deborah Greider, John Ammann, Barbara Gilchrist and Amy
Sanders participated in a telephone conference with Judge Patricia Joyce,
Assistant Attorney General Mark Long, Special Master Dr. Jim LePage, and Mark
Gutchen, representative of and counsel to the Department of Social
Services.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>At that time, the Judge
told Mr. Gutchen and Mr. Long that the Department had to have all the data that
it wanted Dr. LePage to consider or which Dr. LePage had requested to Dr. LePage
by the next day since Dr. LePage had been waiting for it for weeks if not months
and since the accounting itself had been on-going for months.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Department provided Dr. LePage with
information the next day.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Judge Joyce ordered a hearing for
March 22, at 3:30 in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jefferson
City</st1:place></st1:City> so that Dr. LePage could submit his final revised
report.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Judge Joyce ruled that she
would not reverse her previous decision regarding the statute of limitations and
denied the Defendant’s request.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Accordingly, the Special Master is to compute the damages going back to
1992.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Judge Joyce ordered the parties
to prepare and submit memorandums of law on the issues of prejudgment interest,
the use of projections versus actual damages on the issue of damage calculations
in respect of back benefits, on the issue of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement
of costs advanced by MCB, and ordered the attorneys to prepare proposed findings
of fact and conclusions of law and a judgment.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The issue of notice will be discussed
and considered at that time.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The present thinking is that the
Court is unlikely to continue this hearing unless Dr. LePage is unable to
complete his work by this date.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Your attorneys are hard at work
