WHEREAS, Plaintiff contests the validity of removal jurisdiction in the Action and on

WHEREAS, each of the plaintiffs in the other actions have filed motions to remand

pending before this Court. Accordingly, dismissal of this Action without prejudice will not 

result in any harm or prejudice to TerraForm shareholders.

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between undersigned 

counsel and subject to the approval of the Court, that this Action, and all claims asserted therein, 

against all Defendants should be dismissed without prejudice, and without extinguishing

fees.
