RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.

RECITALS

Whereas, on May 27, 2011, Plaintiff JEAN RIKER ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint in this action (the "Initial Complaint") against defendants FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC.; FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY; SIC HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO, and DOES 1-20, inclusive;

Whereas, on July 26, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Dismissal of defendant SIC HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO, thereby dismissing such defendant from this action;

Whereas, on July 26, 2011, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (the "First Amended Complaint") against defendants FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC.; FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY; FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO L.P.; and DOES 1-20, inclusive, making the same allegations and asserting the same claims as in the Initial Complaint;

Whereas, on August 11, 2011, defendants FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC.; FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY; and FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO, L.P. filed an Answer to the First Amended Complaint (the "Answer");

Whereas, after the First Amended Complaint and the Answer were filed, defendant FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO, L.P. transferred its interests in the real property that is the subject of the First Amended Complaint to MASON STREET ASSOCIATES, LLC;

Whereas, FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT L.P. is the management entity that manages the real property that is the subject of the First Amended Complaint, and FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC. and FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY do not manage the property; and

Whereas, the parties have settled all aspects of the case and in conjunction with that settlement now seek to substitute MASON STREET ASSOCIATES, LLC as a defendant in this action in the place and stead of FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO L.P., and seek to substitute FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT L.P. as a defendant in this action in the place and stead of FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC. and FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

Based on the foregoing, and pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties hereto hereby STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

STIPULATION

1. MASON STREET ASSOCIATES, LLC hereby is substituted as defendant in this action in the place and stead of FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO L.P.; FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO, L.P. hereby is dismissed with prejudice as a defendant in this action;

2. FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT L.P. hereby is substituted as a defendant in this action in the place and stead of both FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC. and FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY; FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC. and FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY hereby are dismissed with prejudice as defendants in this action;

3. This Stipulation shall take effect only if the Court accepts and signs the Consent Decree and [Proposed] Order submitted simultaneously with this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order; and

4. Notwithstanding the substitution of defendants hereunder, unless otherwise ordered by the Court: (A) Plaintiff need not file an Amended or Supplemental Complaint regarding such substitutions; and (B) the Answer to the First Amended Complaint filed by the defendants named in the First Amended Complaint shall be effective as to, and shall be deemed filed by, MASON STREET ASSOCIATES, LLC and FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT L.P., and such defendants need not further respond to the First Amended Complaint.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
