ORDER: At an in-court conference earlier today, October 23, 2008, in the Derivative Action, 07 Civ. 9696, the Court indicated its intention to resolve all motions to dismiss in all three Actions (i.e., the Securities Action, the Derivative Action, and the ERISA Action) by no later than February 17, 2009, and then to have all parties embark on consolidated discovery in all three Actions, with such discovery to be completed no later than October 20, 2009, with a likely trial date of sometime in February, 2010. (Certain limited discovery in some of the Actions, related to injunctive relief or other special purposes, may possibly occur prior to February 17, 2009, a matter on which the Court will shortly be receiving papers from the parties.) If any counsel in either the Securities Action, 07 Civ. 9633, or the ERISA Action, 07 Civ. 10268, objects to any of the above-underscored dates, such counsel should convene a conference call with the Court and other affected parties by no later than Thursday, October 30, 2008 and the Court will consider such objections and issue a further order if necessary. Independently, counsel in the ERISA case should arrange to call the Court by no later than Monday, October 27, 2008 to discuss motions to dismiss related to that Action. The previous referral of these Actions to Magistrate Judge Eaton for all pre-trial purposes is hereby modified and clarified as follows: All discovery matters will remain referred to Magistrate Judge Eaton, including any motions or applications related solely to discovery. The Magistrate Judge, however, will not have the authority to extend the October 20, 2009 date, now set for completion of all discovery. All other motions or applications of any kind whatever must first be brought to the undersigned's attention through a joint conference call with the Court and affected parties, at which time the Court will determine whether the motion or application is best resolved by this Court or should be referred to the Magistrate Judge.

ORDER For the reasons set forth in this order, the Court makes the following determinations: (1) Counsel in the Lambrecht Action is hereby granted leave to separately litigate any motion to dismiss the Lambrecht Complaint, independent of the Executive Committee. (2) The Court hereby denies Lambrecht's request for limited expedited discovery with respect to the demand refusal, without prejudice to revisiting that issue at the time of oral argument on a motion to dismiss. (3) The Court hereby consolidates the Lambrecht Action with the other cases constituting the Derivative Action for all other pretrial purposes. (4) The Court preserves the Executive Committee structure in its current composition, reserving the possibility of revising its structure at a later date. (Signed by Judge Jed S.

ORDER REGARDING COORDINATION OF ACTIONS Bond Plaintiffs will not seek remand of the Bond Action to state court. Except as set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7, below, the Bond Action shall proceed on a coordinated basis for all pre-trial purposes with the Consolidated Securities Action. Lead Plaintiff shall serve as Lead Plaintiff with regard to the Consolidated Securities Action and the Bond Action. The authority of Co-Lead Counsel in the Consolidated Securities Action set forth in the Court's March 12, 2008 Order entered in the Consolidated Securities Action shall extend to the Bond Action. Bond Plaintiffs and Bond Counsel shall have primary responsibility for prosecuting all claims on behalf of investors in Merrill Lynch bonds and investors in Merrill Lynch preferred shares that are identified in the Bond Action but not the Consolidated Securities Action, including with respect to filing pleadings, motions and briefs, subject to the supervision and authority of Lead Plaintiff and Co-Lead Counsel. Lead Plaintiff shall serve as Lead Plaintiff with regard to the Consolidated Securities Action and the Bond Action. Within five (5) days of the Court's entering of an Order deciding the pending motions 10 dismiss the Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action, the parties in the Bond Action will confer regarding a proposed schedule for the filing of an amended complaint (if any) in the Bond Action and for the time for Defendants to answer, move or otherwise respond to the operative pleading. Defendants' time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the current complaint in the Bond Action is adjourned until further order of the Court. To the extent discovery is permitted in the Consolidated Securities Action, the Bond Action will proceed along the same schedule. The parties in the Bond Action shall participate in any such discovery that takes place in the Consolidated Action, regardless of any motions to dismiss that may be pending in the Bond Action. Should any motions to dismiss be filed in the Bond Action, those motions shall not result in any stay of discovery or otherwise of the Consolidated Securities Action provided that discovery is otherwise permitted to proceed in the Consolidated Securities Action. To the extent discovery in the Consolidated Securities Action is permitted, the deadlines set forth in the Court's October 23, 2008 Order shall apply to the Bond Action. No party in the coordinated actions shall seek any extensions of such deadlines on the basis of the filing of an amended complaint (if any) in the Bond Action, the Court's adjournment of Defendants' time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the complaint in the Bond Action or the filing of any motions to dismiss in the Bond Action. Defendants reserve all rights and defenses regarding the merits and coordination of the Bond Action and Consolidated Securities Action. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 12/3/08) (mme) (Entered: 12/04/2008)

MEMORANDUM ORDER: On February 17 and 19, 2009, the Court heard oral argument on the defendants' motions to dismiss the complaint in the above-captioned matter, which alleges violations of sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. While the Court reserved judgment so as to give plaintiffs the opportunity to file an Amended Complaint, the Court to give guidance to plaintiffs' counsel in drafting that complaint, indicated from the bench, see transcript 2/19/09, and confirmed in the Court's recent scheduling order dated 2/23/09, that it would provide a determination of whether the avertments of the present Complaint sufficiently sound in fraud as to be subject to the heightened pleading standard of Rule 9(b), F.R.C.P. The Court now determines that the current Complaint is, in fact, subject to Rule 9(b). Alternatively, even if not asserting fraud, plaintiffs' counsel may deem it prudent to draft his Amended Complaint with any eye to the requirements of Rule 9(b). In any event, the Court, as previously indicated, will only take up the motions to dismiss after the Amended Complaint is filed and the Court receives the further briefing permitted by its Order of 2/23/09.
