THE COURT HAS ORDERED THAT:

12

On May 24, 2016, the Court issued an Order (ECF No. 2416) granting CenterPoint Energy
Services, Inc.’s (“CES”) Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 2286), in the matter
entitled Arandell Corp., et al. v. Xcel Energy, Inc., et al., 2:07-CV-01019-RCJ-PAL. The Court
subsequently granted the Arandell Plaintiffs’1 Motion for Entry of Final Judgment Pursuant to
Rule 54(b). The Court finds that judgment in favor of CES pursuant to its May 24 Order is a
final judgment under Rule 54(b). The Court further finds that the issues involved in its May 24
Order are severable and specific to CES, and not likely to recur on matters still pending before
the Court. Furthermore, the Court finds that entering final judgment will avoid unnecessary
duplication of proceedings, prevent harsh and unjust results to the parties, and further the
expeditious resolution of these proceedings. Therefore, Final Judgment is hereby entered as
follows:

Judgment results in judgment against fewer than all Defendants and/or judgment on fewer than
all claims in the above-captioned action, the Court directs that Final Judgment be entered on all
claims against CES, as no just reason for delay exists.
