STIPULATION

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint on November 29, 2006; 

WHEREAS, by Order entered December 21, 2006 (Docket No. 115), the Court set 

an amended class certification briefing schedule in which the deadline for Plaintiffs’ Motion for 

Class Certification was set for February 26, 2007; 

WHEREAS, the production of electronic documents is still ongoing; 

WHEREAS, given that the production of electronic documents remains ongoing 

and due to the conflicting schedules of witnesses and counsel for the parties, some depositions 

will not take place until late April 2007; 

WHEREAS, the parties therefore anticipate discovery for class certification 

continuing until the end of April 2007; and 

WHEREAS, the parties and their respective counsel therefore agree that a 

modification of the class certification schedule is warranted and further agree that the proposed 

modification will not unduly delay processing the action, 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their 

respective counsel of record, that the parties propose the following revised schedule for class 

certification: 

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification May 25, 2007 

Defendant’s Opposition to Class Certification August 3, 2007 

Plaintiffs’ Reply September 21, 2007
