3. Defendant McNeil agrees to submit a financial statement

and copies of his federal and state income tax returns for the

prior tax year to the United States Attorney's Office on August

1st of each year, beginning on August 1, 2006, until the judgment

debt is paid in full. Defendant McNeil further agrees to

promptly notify the United States Attorney's Office of any change

of address or employment until the debt is paid in full.

4. In return for defendant McNeil's admission of liability

and entry into this Stipulated Judgment, the United States agrees

to accept the amount of $13,700 plus interest accruing thereafter

at the applicable legal post-judgment rate computed daily and

compounded annually until paid in full satisfaction of the

defendant's liability. This judgment amount shall be paid in

monthly installments as follows:

April to November of each year $135 monthly

December to March of each year $55 monthly

beginning August 1, 2005, and on the first day of each month

thereafter, until the debt is paid in full. The installment

payment amount may be adjusted after one (1) year, and thereafter

on an annual basis, if defendant McNeil's financial statement

indicates his ability to make a higher installment payment

amount. If defendant McNeil becomes unemployed, upon his

submission of proper documentation of such event, the installment

payment arrangement will be suspended during the period of

unemployment.

5. All payments shall be by money order, certified check

or cashier's check made payable to "U.S. Department of Justice"

and shall be mailed, postmarked no later than the 1st day of each

Sacramento, CA 95814-2322

6. The United States forthwith shall record a judgment

lien upon all present and future real estate owned by defendant

McNeil to secure payment of this judgment debt.

7. In the event defendant McNeil defaults on either the

payment of any installment or the submission of the financial

statement and tax returns, the balance of the judgment, including

post-judgment interest, shall immediately become due and payable,

and plaintiff United States shall proceed with all available

administrative and judicial remedies to enforce the judgment

debt.

8. Subject to the complete performance of the conditions

set forth in this Stipulated Judgment, plaintiff United States on

behalf of itself, its agencies, its officers, and its agents,

will release defendant McNeil from any and all civil claims that

the United States has or may have for the conduct set forth in

the complaint, including any claims under the False Claims Act,

31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 et seq., and the common law theories of breach

of contract, payment by mistake and unjust enrichment.

9. Defendant McNeil hereby fully and finally releases,

dismisses and forever discharges the United States, its agencies,

employees, servants, and agents for any and all claims, causes of

action, liabilities, losses and damages, including costs,

attorneys' fees and expenses of any kind, which defendant has

asserted or could have asserted against the United States, its

agencies, employees, servants, and agents, based on any acts or

omissions arising from this action, including the investigation,

litigation, or resolution of the claims set forth in the

Complaint.

10. Defendant McNeil admits, solely for purposes of the

Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C. § 501 et seq., that his conduct, as it

relates to the allegations set forth in the Complaint, falls

within the provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2)(A) and therefore

defendant McNeil's debt to the United States is nondischargeable

in any bankruptcy proceeding commenced subsequent to the

execution of this Stipulated Judgment.

11. Should any judicial action be required to enforce or

interpret this Stipulated Judgment, or to resolve any dispute

hereunder, the parties acknowledge that jurisdiction and venue

for any such action shall lie solely in the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of California. The

remedies afforded the United States by this paragraph are in

addition to, and not instead of, the remedies for non-compliance

of this Stipulated Judgment described above. To the extent that

the United States is afforded parallel remedies by these

paragraphs, it may exercise its discretion to proceed under any

paragraph.

12. The parties to this Stipulated Judgment shall bear

their own costs, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any

manner in connection with the investigation, litigation and

resolution of the claims set forth in the Complaint, including

any such costs, attorneys' fees or expenses incurred in the

preparation and performance of this Stipulated Judgment.
