Joint Stipulation and Order 2 Case No.: 2:10-CV-00802-JAM-KJN 

IT IS HEREBY stipulated by the Parties, Plaintiff ASARCO LLC and the United States of 

America, as follows: 

WHEREAS, on June 16, 2010, July 8, 2010, and July 23, 2010 Judge Richard S. Schmidt 

of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas entered three agreed 

Orders extending the deadline for the Plan Administrator and ASARCO LLC, (“Reorganized 

ASARCO”) to object to the United States’ Proof of Claim pertaining to environmental liability at 

Blue Ledge Mine. On August 5, 2010, the Court entered a fourth Agreed Order, (“Fourth Order”) 

that extended the deadline for Reorganized ASARCO and the Plan Administrator to object to the 

Blue Ledge Claim until September 17, 2010. 

WHEREAS, the matter before this Court is a petition filed by Reorganized ASARCO for 

Declaratory Judgment pertaining to the United States’ Blue Ledge Mine claim. 

WHEREAS, in addition to extending Reorganized ASARCO’s deadline for responding to 

the United States’ Proof of Claim, the Fourth Order also states that, “IT IS FURTHER 

ORDERED that Reorganized Asarco and the United States shall file a joint stipulation with the 

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California (the District Court), agreeing that the 

United States shall have until October 1, 2010, to file any responsive pleading to or motion to 

dismiss the complaint filed and served by Reorganized Asarco in the District Court, Civil Action 

No. 10-cv-00802-JAM-KJN, and that all parties reserve all rights and defenses, including relating 

to any motion to dismiss that action.” 

In accordance with the Fourth Order, as well as to provide additional time for potential 

settlement discussions affecting both proceedings, it is hereby stipulated that the United States’ 

deadline to file any responsive pleading or motion to dismiss the Complaint in the above 

captioned matter is extended until October 1, 2010 and all parties reserve all rights and defenses, 

including relating to any motion to dismiss the Complaint.
