disbursed pursuant to an Order of the Court.
Regardless of whether any such Fair Fund distribution is made, amounts ordered to be
paid as civil penalties pursuant to this Judgment shall be treated as penalties paid to the
government for all purposes, including all tax purposes.  To preserve the deterrent effect of the
civil penalty, Defendant shall not, after offset or reduction of any award of compensatory
damages in any Related Investor Action based on Defendant’s payment of disgorgement in this

a Penalty Offset, Defendant shall, within 30 days after entry of a final order granting the Penalty
Offset, notify the Commission’s counsel in this action and pay the amount of the Penalty Offset

not be deemed an additional civil penalty and shall not be deemed to change the amount of the
civil penalty imposed in this Judgment.  For purposes of this paragraph, a “Related Investor

more investors based on substantially the same facts as alleged in the Complaint in this action.
