6. As to any specific assets, following the Court’s disposition of all timely petitions,
a final order of forfeiture shall be entered. If no third party files a timely petition, this order shall
become the final order of forfeiture, as provided by Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(c)(2), and the United
States shall have clear title to the property, and shall dispose of the property according to law.

The parties stipulate and agree that the aforementioned asset(s) constitute property acquired
or maintained in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962, property affording a source of influence over a
racketeering enterprise in violation of Section 1962, proceeds of racketeering in violation of
Section 1962, and/or one or more firearms involved in a criminal violation, and are therefore
subject to forfeiture pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 1963(a) and/or 924(d). The Defendant hereby waives
the requirements of Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2 and 43(a) regarding notice of the forfeiture in the
charging instrument, announcement of the forfeiture at sentencing, and incorporation of the
forfeiture in the judgment against Defendant. If the Defendant has previously submitted a claim in
response to an administrative forfeiture proceeding regarding any of this property, Defendant
hereby withdraws that claim. If Defendant has not previously submitted such a claim, Defendant
hereby waives all right to do so. As to any firearms listed above and/or in the charging instrument,
Defendant consents to destruction by federal, state, or local law enforcement authorities upon such
legal process as they, in their sole discretion deem to legally sufficient, and waives any and all
right to further notice of such process or such destruction.
