STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE

WHEREAS, on or around June 16, 2003, J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft entered into an amended Merger Agreement (“Merger Agreement”) whereby each J.D. Edwards shareholder could elect to receive either PeopleSoft stock or cash in exchange for J.D. Edwards stock;

WHEREAS, on July 17, 2003, PeopleSoft purchased approximately 88% of the outstanding shares of J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft expects to acquire the remaining shares of J.D. Edwards before the end of August 2003, making J.D. Edwards a wholly-owned subsidiary of PeopleSoft;

WHEREAS, in light of the consummation of the Merger Agreement and the fact that PeopleSoft may elect to re-assert some or all of J.D. Edwards’ pending claims in the PeopleSoft Action, the parties believe that this action should be dismissed without prejudice in the interests of justice and in order to avoid duplicative litigation;

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY AND BETWEEN J.D. Edwards and Defendants, through their counsel of record, subject to the Court’s approval that:

This action is dismissed without prejudice, with each side to bear their own costs, and J.D. Edwards and its parent corporation, PeopleSoft, reserve the right to reassert the claims brought forth in this action against Defendants in the PeopleSoft Action currently pending in Alameda County.
