$32,276.76 and a motion for an order awarding attorneys' fees; and 

Whereas, the Mercury News and plaintiff Christopher Harris ("Harris") 

have executed a Mutual Waiver and General Release ("Mutual Release"); 

Whereas, the Mutual Release provides for an award to the Mercury

of the right to appeal the judgment in this matter, and for the entry of an order 

amending the judgment in this matter accordingly; 

Now, therefore, the parties, by and through their counsel of record, 

hereby agree and stipulate to the following:

without interest, to be paid in 32 monthly installments of $500, beginning November
