REPRESENTATIVE 

STIPULATION 

WHEREAS, Judy Weil was named as a putative class representative in this action; 

WHEREAS, for personal reasons, Judy Weil seeks to withdraw permanently as a 

representative plaintiff on behalf of the putative class in this matter;1

WHEREAS, the parties therefore have agreed that Judy Weil should be permitted to 

withdraw as a putative class representative in this matter; and 

WHEREAS, because Judy Weil remains within the putative class as described in the 

Complaint, the statute of limitations for her claims are tolled to the same extent as for all other 

putative class members; 

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

counsel of record, that (i) Judy Weil be removed as a class representative in this action and will 

maintain her status as a putative class member and (ii) Ms. Weil will not seek to serve as a 

representative plaintiff on behalf of the putative class at any time in the future. 

SO STIPULATED.
