causes of action alleged in the above-referenced action; 

WHEREAS, the Parties are in the process of preparing the settlement documents and

anticipate requiring four weeks to finalize and effectuate the terms of the settlement;

WHEREAS, the Parties are scheduled to appear for a bench trial on the Parties’ motions

for judgment on May 7, 2010 at 2:30 p.m.;

WHEREAS, in light of the recent settlement in principle, the Parties believe that the

bench trial scheduled for May 7, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. should be vacated;

and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to schedule a further case management conference for

May 28, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. to enable the Parties sufficient time to finalize the settlement and

dismiss the case with prejudice, or if a settlement cannot be reached, to set a date for a bench

trial on the Parties’ motions for judgment;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties stipulate as follows:

The bench trial on the Parties’ motions for judgment scheduled for May 7, 2010 at 2:30

p.m. will be vacated;

The Parties will appear for a further case management conference on May 28, 2010 at

10:30 a.m., or as soon thereafter as may be heard by the Court.

IT IS SO AGREED AND STIPULATED.
