This stipulation constitutes a compromise settlement of plaintiff’s request for EAJA

attorney fees and does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of defendant under the

EAJA. Payment in the aforementioned sum under EAJA shall constitute a complete release from

and bar to any all claims, rights, causes of action, liens or subrogated interest relating to attorney’s

fees incurred in this action under EAJA.

The settlement of plaintiff’s claim for EAJA attorney fees does not preclude plaintiff’s

counsel from seeking attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 406 of the Social Security Act, subject to the

offset provisions of the law.

Respectfully submitted,

Dated: 12/06/07 /s/ Robert Ishikawa
