("Plaintiffs") allege product liability claims against Defendant Northrop Grumman Corporation
("NGC"), among others.

(2) Defendant NGC filed its Notice of Removal of the State action on May 11, 2006 on
"federal officer" grounds pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1442(a)(1).

(3) Plaintiffs and NGC have agreed to and do hereby stipulate that NGC should be
dismissed from this action with prejudice pursuant to FRCP 41(a)(2), with each party to bear
their own costs.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiffs and NGC, through their
designated counsel, that because the removing defendant, NGC, is hereby dismissed with
prejudice from this case, no grounds exist for continued juridiction in this court, and remand to
the State court is appropriate at this time.

Accordingly, the Plaintiffs and NGC petition this court for an order dismissing NGC

with prejudice and remanding the case to the State Court, pursuant to this Stipulation.
