STIPULATION AND ORDER
It is stipulated by and between the undersigned parties, by their respective attorneys, as
follows:
- The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action and over each of
the parties hereto, and venue of this action is proper in the United States District Court of the
District of Columbia;
- The parties stipulate that a Final Judgment in the form hereto attached may be filed
and entered by the Court, upon the motion of any party or upon the Court's own motion, at any
time after compliance with the requirements of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act (15
U.S.C. § 16), and without further notice to any party or other proceedings, provided that plaintiff
has not withdrawn its consent, which it may do at any time before the entry of the proposed Final
Judgment by serving notice thereof on defendants and by filing that notice with the Court;
- Defendant Signature (as defined in paragraph II.A of the proposed Final Judgment
attached hereto) shall abide by and comply with the provisions of the proposed Final Judgment
pending entry of the Final Judgment, or until expiration of time for all appeals of any court ruling
declining entry of the proposed Final Judgment, and shall, from the date of the signing of this
Stipulation, comply with all the terms and provisions of the proposed Final Judgment as though
the same were in full force and effect as an order of the Court; provided, however, that Signature
shall not be obligated to comply with Sections V through VIII of the proposed Final Judgment
unless and until the closing of any transaction in which Signature directly or indirectly acquires all
or any part of the assets or capital stock of Combs (as defined in paragraph II.B of the proposed
Final Judgment attached hereto);
- Defendants shall not consummate the transaction before the Court has signed this
Stipulation and Order as well as the Hold Separate Stipulation and Order;
- In the event plaintiff withdraws its consent, as provided in paragraph 2 above, or in
the event the proposed Final Judgment is not entered pursuant to this Stipulation, the time has
expired for all appeals of any court ruling declining entry of the proposed Final Judgment, and the
Court has not otherwise ordered continued compliance with the terms and provisions of the
proposed Final Judgment, then the parties are released from all further obligations under this
Stipulation, and the making of this Stipulation shall be without prejudice to any party in this or
any other proceeding;
- The defendant Signature represents that the divestitures ordered in the proposed
Final Judgment can and will be made, and that the defendant Signature will later raise no claims of
hardship or difficulty as grounds for asking the Court to modify any of the divestiture provisions
contained therein.
