UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The undersigned parties to the above-entitled action jointly submit this stipulation and

proposed order regarding payments of funds and request for dismissal of the United States of America;

(1) On April 13, 2007, plaintiff F&H Construction filed this interpleader action in the

Superior Court for the State of California, San Joaquin County, stating that it held surplus funds owed

to Engineering Glass Walls, Inc., and asking the court to determine the validity and priority of

competing adverse claims to those funds. The United States of America removed this action to the

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on May 2, 2007;

(2) The United States of America, the Bank of Stockton, and the Trust Fund defendants

agreed and stipulated that the United States’ interest in the surplus funds is senior to, and has priority

over, all other competing interests, who have been dismissed from this lawsuit;
