WHEREAS: 

1. On or about September 16, 2005 (the “Petition Date”), a petition for relief was 

filed by the Plaintiff under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Bankruptcy 

Code”). 

2. On or about December 5, 2005, the case was thereafter converted to a chapter 7 

liquidation proceeding. Consequently, the chapter 7 Trustee now has the power to administer the 

property of the estate including the prosecution of existing litigation. 11 U.S.C. §§ 323(a), (b), 

704; Bankruptcy Rule 6009; In re Consolidated Pioneer Mortg. Entities, 248 B.R. 368, 382-83 

(B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2000). 

3. On or about December 6, 2005, Jeri Coppa-Knudson was appointed as Chapter 7 

Trustee for the Debtor’s estate. 

4. On or about January 27, 2006, Brinkman Portillo, PC (“BP”) was employed as 

Special Counsel to Chapter 7 Trustee. 

STIPULATION 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto stipulate and agree that: 

1. PROMETRIX CORPORATION is no longer a party to this action by reason of a 

transfer of its interest in the matter, by operation of law, through the conversion of the above 

mentioned case into a chapter 7 liquidation proceeding. 

2. THE CHAPTER 7 TRUSTEE, JERI COPPA-KNUDSON, is substituted as a 

party to this action in place of the party identified in paragraph 1.
