1The parties’ proposed order erroneously listed the principal amount as $162,027.92. 

The Court awards the $2.03 difference to the GILANI GROUP because it appears that the

intent of the agreement was to award $100,000 to the ANXHAKU GROUP, with the remainder

going to the GILANI GROUP.

2

Salinas (hereinafter collectively referred to as ANXHAKU GROUP) are to receive

$100,000.00. Any interest that has accrued in excess of the principal amount, $162,029.95,

deposited on March 10, 2004, is to be divided equally between the two parties.1

The drafts shall be made as follows:

(1) Frederick Gilani and Paul Smoot for the amount of $62,029.95, plus one-half of the

accrued interest, and

(2) William Dresser and Islam Anxhaku, Josue Ismael Tovar Estudillo, Jhaziel O. Tovar

Estudillo, Haniel Tovar Estudillo and Gabriel Salinas for the amount of $100,000.00, plus

one-half of the accrued interest.

Each side, i.e., the GILANI GROUP and the ANXHAKU GROUP, shall bear their own

fees and costs.

As a condition precedent to settlement, the parties release each other from any claims

that arise out of the facts in this action, Case No. C 03-03901 TEH, only. As a further

condition precedent to this settlement and to clarify the release of claims, the parties agree

and stipulate they may not use their respective judgments (Frederick Gilani in Denton County,

Texas, and William Dresser and his state-court plaintiffs Islam Anxhaku, Josue Ismael Tovar

Estudillo, Jhaziel O. Tovar Estudillo, Haniel Tovar Estudillo and Gabriel Salinas in Santa Clara

County and Santa Cruz County, California) in separate state court matters to impair the funds

being released by the Court in this matter.

Before the parties can receive their disbursements, they must send a fax to the Court’s

finance department, at (415) 522-4103, that includes the taxpayer identification or Social

Security number for which the interest on each disbursement should be reported, as well as the

address to which each disbursement should be sent. The parties’ faxes shall reference this case

by both case name and case number. The finance department must have this information to

begin processing disbursements, and the weekly deadline for receiving such information is
