On this I day

held before this Court

01A 5 s

-r6 Le A

of 1999, a hearing having been

to determine : ( 1) whether the terms and

conditions of the Stipulation of Settlement are fair, reasonable

and adequate for the settlement of all claims asserted (a) by the

Settlement Class Representatives and the members of th e

Settlement Class against the Defendants in the Consolidated Class

Cases, and (b) the Derivative Plaintiffs on behalf of the nominal

defendant MedPartners, against the Individual Defendants in the

Derivative Action ; (2) whether the Stipulation, including the

release of the Defendants in the Consolidated Class Cases, the

Individual Defendants in the Derivative Action, and the

respective Related Parties, should be approved; (3) whether

judgment should be entered dismissing the complaints with

prejudice ; (4) whether the Plan of Allocation for the Settlement

Fund is fair and reasonable and should be approved ; and (5)

whether and in what amount to award counsel for Plaintiffs and

the Settlement Class fees and reimbursement of expenses . The

Court having considered all matters submitted to it at the

hearing and otherwise ; and it appearing that appropriate notice

of the hearing substantially in the respective forms approved by

the Court was mailed to all persons or entities reasonably

identifiable, (i) who, except those persons or entities otherwise

specifically excluded from the definition of the Settlement

Class, (a) purchased the common stock of MedPartners (including

but not limited to, through open market transactions, mergers or

acquisitions in which MedPartners issued common stock, conversion

2

~C004

to common stock, exchange for common stock, exercise of stock

rights, acquisition pursuant to the Company's Employee Stoc k

Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), and any other type of transaction

(whether public or private) in which a person acquired one or

more shares (whether freely tradable, restricted or otherwise) o f

MedPartners stock in return for consideration), purchased call

option contracts on MedPartners common stock, or sold put optio n

contracts on MedPartners common stock, during the period from

October 30, 1996 through January 7, 1998, inclusive (MedPartners'

employees who purchased their shares through the ESPP in January

1998 being deemed to have purchased their shares on December 31,

1997) (the "Common Stock and Options . Class") ; (b) purchased

MedPartners Threshold Appreciation Price Securities ("TAPS")

during the period from September 15, 1997 through January 7,

1998, inclusive (the "TAPS Class") ; or (c) tendered common shares

of Talbert Medical Management Holdings Corporation ("Talbert") to

MedPartners, pursuant to MedPartners' tender offer, during the

period between August 20, 1997 and September 19, 1997, inclusive

(the "Tender Offer Class") ; and/or (ii) who were current holders

of MedPartners common stock as of May 3, 1999, as shown by the

records of MedPartner's transfer agent, at the respective

addresses set forth in such records ; and the Court having

considered and determined the fairness and reasonableness of th e

award of attorneys' fees and expenses requested .

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREE D

THAT :

x:005

NOW, THEREFORE , IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED

THAT :

1 . The Court, for purposes of this Order and Fina l

Judgment (the "Judgment"), adopts all defined terms as set fort h

in the Stipulation of Settlement .

2 . The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter o f

the captioned lawsuits, the Settlement Class Representatives, the

other members of the Settlement Class, the Derivative Plaintiffs ,

MedPartners, Talmed and the other Defendants .

3 . The Court finds that distribution of the Class Notice ,

the Derivative Notice, and the Proof of Claim and Release, and

the publication of the Summary Notice, as provided for in the

Order Regarding Preliminary Approval and Notice, constituted the

best notice practicable under the circumstances to all persons

within the definition of the Settlement Class and to all curren t

holders of MedPartners common stock ; that they provided full and

accurate information concerning the proposed Settlement and the

actions that are involved in the Settlement, and further provided

due and adequate notice of the proceedings regarding the

Settlement ; and that they ..otherwise fully met the requirements of

Rules 23 and 23 .1 of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure, due

process, the Constitutions of the United States and the State o f

Alabama, and any other applicable law .

4 . Pursuant to Rules 23 (a) and (b)(3) of the Al abama Rule s

of Civil Procedure, the Consolidated Class Cases are properly and

finally certified as a class action for settlement purposes .

006

With respect to the classes which comprise the Settlement Class,

this Court finds and concludes that : (a) the members of the

Common Stock and Options Class, the TAPS Class , and the Tender

offer Class, respectively , are each so numerous that joinder o f

all Settlement Class Members is impracticable ; (b) there are

questions of law and fact common to the Common Stock and Option s

Class, the TAPS Class, and the Tender Offer Class, respectively,

which predominate over any individual questions (such as whether

false statements by Defendants artificially inflated the market

price of MedPartners stock and options, whether Defendants made

misstatements in the TAPS registration statement, and whether

Defendants made misstatements to Talbert shareholders i n

materials circulated in connection with MedPartners' tender

offer) ; (c) the claims of the Settlement Class Representative are

typical of the claims of the Common Stock and Options Class, the

TAPS Class, and the Tender Offer Class, respectively ; (d) the

Settlement Class Representative and their counsel have fairly and

adequately represented and protected the interests of the

Settlement Class Members ; and (e) a class action is superior t o

other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication

of the controversy, considering : (i) the interests of the member s

of the Settlement Class in individually controlling the

prosecution of the separate actions, (ii) the extent and nature

of any litigation concerning the controversy already commenced by

members of the Settlement Class, (iii) the desirability or

undesirability of continuing the litigation of these claims i n

5

V . "1 ao7

this particular forum, and (iv) the difficulties likely to b e

encountered in the management of the class action .

5 . The Settlement of the Consolidated Class Cases as se t

forth in the Stipulation is approved in all respects as fair ,

reasonable and adequate, and in the best interests of th e

Settlement Class . The Parties are directed to consummate and

perform the Stipulation of Settlement in accordance with al l

applicab? e terms and provisions .

6 . Except as to any individual claim of those person s

(identified in Exhibit 1 hereto) who have validly and timel y

requested exclusion from the Settlement Class, the complaints in

the Consolidated Class Cases and all claims contained therein are

dismissed on the merits with prejudice as to all Defendants in

accordance with Rule 23(e), Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure, and

all of the Defendants and any Related Parties are hereby released

from any and all claims or causes of action in law or equity,

including Unknown Claims, suits, allegations, demands, rights and
