WHEREAS, on November 27, 2006, Plaintiff Indiana State District Counsel of Laborers and HOD Carriers Pension Fund ("Indiana") filed a shareholder derivative action purportedly in behalf of Electronics For Imaging, Inc. ("EFI"), asserting claims against the Defendants. WHEREAS, on December 5, 2006, Defendant Thomas I. Unterberg removed a shareholder derivative action purportedly filed in behalf of EFI, which was filed in the Superior Court of California County of San Mateo by Plaintiff City of Ann Arbor Employees' Retirement System ("Ann Arbor") on November 22, 2006. WHEREAS, on February 2, 2007, Plaintiffs, Trueman Parish ("Parish") and Kevin Fennimore ("Fennimore") (collectively, the "Lead Plaintiffs"), filed a related shareholder action against EFI and certain individual defendants. WHEREAS, by letter dated March 20, 2007, which was filed with the Court, Ann Arbor requested Court approval to withdrew its complaint without prejudice, as well as its Opposition to Defendant Unterberg' Motion to Consolidate All Actions. On April 3, 2007, the Court entered an Order granting Ann Arbor's request for court approval of voluntary dismissal without prejudice. WHEREAS, on April 12, 2007, the Court entered an order appointing Parish and Fennimore Lead Plaintiffs and Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP Lead Counsel. In addition, the remaining matters were consolidated and a case management order setting a briefing schedule was entered on April 18, 2007 (the "Case Management Order").

Case Management Order, Plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint on May 24, 2007 (the "Consolidated Complaint"). WHEREAS, on July 25, 2007, the Court granted Lead Plaintiffs unopposed motion to stay the proceedings in the above-referenced case in favor of City of Ann Arbor v. Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (DE CH CA2797-VCL), a similar derivative action pending in the Chancery Court of Delaware (the "Delaware Action"). WHEREAS, the Delaware Action has been concluded by means of a settlement, which completely resolved the issues before this Court. Following notice to shareholders, the Court of Chancery held a hearing on September 4, 2008 to consider the settlement. Following the hearing, on September 4, 2008, the Court entered an Order and Final Judgment granting final approval of the settlement and dismissing the Delaware Action with prejudice, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The notice issued to shareholders concerning the settlement stated that the settlement would also lead to the dismissal of the action pending before this Court. See ¶ 18(c), of the Notice, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that this action should be dismissed with prejudice. IT IS SO STIPULATED.
