The parties to this action hereby stipulate as follows:

From the date of entry of the Court’s order on this stipulation, and going forward, the title

Court and the parties shall refer to the Nuveen-affiliated parties as “plaintiffs” and the Alamedaaffiliated parties and Stone & Youngberg as “defendants.” The Court and the parties shall treat 

Nuveen’s First Amended Counterclaim as the operative complaint in this action. As plaintiffs, the 

Nuveen-affiliated parties shall have the burden of proof on all of their claims and, unless the Court 

orders otherwise, shall at the trial of this matter present their opening statement and their case-inchief first, and their closing argument first and last.
