Defendants Allstate Insurance Company ("AIC"), Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company ("AP&C") and Allstate Indemnity Company ("Indemnity") (collectively, "Defendants" or "Allstate"), and counsel for opt-in Plaintiff Dennis Day ("Day"), having met and conferred regarding Day's proposal to withdraw from this action, hereby jointly propose the following stipulation and order regarding Day's proposed withdrawal: [Background] 1. On September 12, 2007, this Court held a status conference with the parties

where it was decided the parties would brief the Court on the withdrawals of the opt-in Plaintiffs. 2. On October 3, 2007, Allstate filed a motion regarding the potential

withdrawals of the Plaintiffs in this action entitled Defendants' Motion to Determine Basis on which Plaintiffs should be Permitted to Dismiss Claims ("Motion re: Dismissal"). This motion is now pending before the Court. [Stipulation and Proposed Order] 3. Allstate and Day agree and jointly move the Court as follows: (a) Day's claims against Allstate under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29

U.S.C. § 201, et seq. ("FLSA") should be dismissed without prejudice based on Day's agreement to refrain from asserting, either on his own behalf or as a member of a collective action, any claim for overtime pay he might have under the FLSA against Allstate for any events that occurred during his employment with Allstate up to the date of this stipulation; (b) Allstate and Day agree that the above dismissal of Day's claims in

this case is not a decision on the merits; (c) Allstate and Day agree that this stipulation and the order resulting

from it shall have no effect on any other claim Day might have under any law other than the FLSA including, but not limited to, the claims that are currently being litigated against Allstate for overtime pay in Nettles, et al. v. Allstate Ins. 2

Co., et al., No. 02 CH 14426 (Ill. Cir. Ct. Cook Cty.); (d) Allstate and Day agree that Allstate's Motion re: Dismissal is moot

as to Day; and (e) Allstate and Day agree and request that the Court spread their

stipulation of record, and that the Court accordingly enter the agreed draft order attached hereto.
