or to otherwise seek to enforce said arbitration agreements, by virtue of the Glotel’s filing of an 

Answer or the parties’ past or continuing discovery exchanges and/or based on any purported 

waiver, delay or tardiness; 

WHEREAS, plaintiffs have agreed, through their counsel, that they will not oppose 

Glotel’s motion to compel certain putative class members to arbitrate their claims or some other 

appropriate motion to enforce the arbitration agreements, if filed, on the ground that defendant has 

waived its right to file such a motion based on its filing of an Answer, its participation in 

discovery, or any contention of delay or tardiness; and 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED: 

1. Glotel may file any motion to compel certain putative class members to arbitrate 

their claims, or some other appropriate motion to enforce the arbitration agreements, on any date 

up to and including the date that it files its opposition to plaintiffs’ anticipated motion for class 

certification. 

2. Plaintiffs will not oppose any such motion by Glotel to compel certain putative 

class members to arbitrate their claims or some other appropriate motion to enforce the arbitration 

agreements on the ground that defendant has waived its right to file such a motion based on 

Glotel’s filing of an Answer, its participation in discovery, or any contention of delay or tardiness. 

3. In the event that the Court rejects this stipulation and declines to sign the order 

below, the parties agree that Glotel may file its anticipated motion to compel certain putative class 

members to arbitrate their claims, or some other appropriate motion to enforce the arbitration 

agreements, within thirty (30) court days of notice to defense counsel of such rejection. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
