STIPULATED WITHDRAWAL OF PETITION AS TO MDL, INC. ONLY—CASE NO. C-06-1883 SI

STIPULATED WITHDRAWAL OF PETITION AS TO MDL, INC. ONLY

By and through their respective counsel of record, petitioners Beilstein-Institut zur Förderung

der Chemischen Wissenschaften and Beilstein GmbH (collectively “Beilstein”) on the one hand,

and MDL Information Systems, Inc. (“MDL, Inc.”), named herein by Beilstein as real party in

interest, stipulate and agree as follows:

1. On March 10, 2006, Beilstein filed a Petition for Entry of United States Judgment

Based Upon the Judgment and Arbitration Award Issued by the Federal Republic of Germany in

this Action, C-06-1883 SI (“Petition”).

2. On April 20, 2006, MDL, Inc filed a motion to dismiss the Petition, asserting among

other things, that it is not a “necessary” party within the meaning of Fed. R. Civ. P. 19(a).

Although Beilstein does not agree as to any other ground asserted in MDL, Inc.’s motion, Beilstein

and MDL, Inc. acknowledge and agree that MDL, Inc. is not a “necessary” party to this Action

within the meaning of Fed. R. Civ. P. 19(a).

3. As such, Beilstein has agreed to withdraw the Petition as to MDL, Inc. only, without

prejudice. The Petition remains pending as to respondent MDL Information Systems GmbH,

which does not waive any rights to challenge the Petition on any ground as a result of this

stipulation.
