"The plaintiffs contend that the defendants caused the plan to overpay for the stock by tens of millions of dollars ... [and] sought equitable relief ... [P]laintiffs contended that [1] they had no obligation to exhaust the plan's internal appeals, and [2] assuming such an obligation existed, they should be excused from that requirement....
