2. Plaintiffs have also initiated an arbitration proceeding ("the Arbitration") before 

the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce for breach of contract against Defendant. 

3. On September 24, 2007, Plaintiffs and Defendant agreed to a resolution of 

Plaintiffs' claims. The principal terms of the parties' agreement requires that: (a) Defendant will 

make six equal monthly payments to Plaintiffs beginning on September 24, 2007 and ending on 

February 20, 2008; (b) Plaintiffs and Defendant will jointly seek an order or other appropriate 

action necessary to stay both the Litigation and Arbitration; (c) on the 91st day after Plaintiffs 

receive their final payment from Defendant, Plaintiffs will dismiss both the Litigation and the 

Arbitration with prejudice, each party to bear its own attorneys fees and costs; and (d) Plaintiffs 

and Defendant will execute a mutually satisfactory Settlement Agreement and Release on the 

91st day after Plaintiffs receive Defendant's final payment. 

4. Plaintiffs and Defendant submit that good cause exists to stay this action in 

accordance with the Parties' agreement and therefore request the Court to enter a order staying 

this action until all actions under the agreement have been completed and Plaintiffs' move to 

dismiss this action with prejudice pursuant to the parties' agreement set forth above. Either 

Plaintiffs or Defendant may move to vacate the stay if cause exists or as otherwise permitted 

under the Agreement described in Paragraph 3 above.
