WHEREAS, VeriFone Israel Ltd. and VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (collectively, 

“Plaintiffs”) and Heartland Payments Systems, Inc. (“Defendant”) are currently engaged in 

settlement discussions and believe that it is reasonable to extend all current deadlines for a 

period of forty-five (45) days to avoid expending time and resources of both the Court and the 

parties that may become unnecessary if those discussions are successful; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(4)(A), Defendant has fourteen 

(14) days to file an answer to Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint for Patent Infringement and 

Declaratory Relief (“Complaint”) from the time the Court rules on Defendant’s pending 

Motion to Dismiss State Law Claims for Declaratory Relief (“Motion to Dismiss”); 

WHEREAS, on October 19, 2009, the Court scheduled the Initial Case 

Management Conference for December 18, 2009; 

WHEREAS, on December 17, 2009, the Court rescheduled the Case 

Management Conference, at the parties’ request, for January 15, 2010; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Patent Rule 3-1, Plaintiffs must serve their 

Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions on Defendant within fourteen 

(14) days after the Initial Case Management Conference; 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties, by and through their respective counsel, 

hereby stipulate that: 

1. All current deadlines in this case are hereby extended for a period of 

forty-five (45) days. 

2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following specific 

deadlines are extended as follows: 

a. The Case Management Conference with the Court currently scheduled 

for January 15, 2010 shall be rescheduled, subject to the Court’s availability, to a mutually 

agreeable time during the week of March 1, 2010 or as soon thereafter as the Court may be 

available.
