The parties to the stipulation have agreed that said judgment shall be inclusive of any and all attorney fees, costs, and other expenses incurred by Plaintiff in litigating this action against Defendant Dan Gamel, only. Under the terms of the stipulation,

however, any judgment entered against Defendant Dan Gamel shall not be construed to preclude Plaintiff from seeking additional damages, attorney fees, costs and expenses, if any, from entities other than Dan Gamel, Inc. and/or its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, currents and past employees officers, directors, shareholders and owners, parent and subsidiary corporations, trustees, partners, joint venturers, insurers and attorneys.

In addition, pursuant to

the parties' agreement, Plaintiff and/or his successors, assigns, children, spouses, heirs, agents, trustees, attorneys and/or executors shall not execute upon or attempt in any form or fashion to enforce or collect the judgment entered in accordance with this Order for at least 240 days subsequent to the date of Entry of Judgment. Because judgment is to be rendered against Defendant Dan Gamel, Inc., and because an automatic stay in bankruptcy is applicable to the remaining Defendants, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and Fleetwood Motor Homes of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("Fleetwood"), the current trial date of May 11, 2009 is hereby vacated, along with the Final Pretrial Conference set for March 25, 2009. 2
