Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, Messrs.

Assuming that the conditions set forth above are satisfied, the parties shall submit an agreed form of judgment which, among other things, shall include appropriate provisions directing compliance with the Settlement Agreements, the Certificates Plan, and the plan of allocation and ensuring that sufficient funds are withheld from any initial distributions to cover such atty's fees and disbursements as the Court may award purs. to pending applications by counsel other than pltffs' lead counsel.

Filing 166 OPINION #84583, that the benefits of any auction for lead counsel are difficult to assess. It is simple to compare post facto the fee awarded to counsel selected by auction to that which would have been awarded using a traditional percentage-of-recovery method. Likewise, ready comparison can be made with the fees that would have been awarded o other bidders, had their bids been selected. However, the relative value of the attorney's fees does not adequately measure the success of the auction. Instead, the true value of the auction lies in its effect, if any, on the net recovery obtained by plaintiffs. In this respect, the jury on the lead counsel auction in this case is still out, but it is anticipated that the fee structure and the auction process will function as they were intended-to align attorney-client interests more closely, reduce agency costs, and help ensure that the class action mechanism acts as an effective mechanism of justice .
