WHEREAS, City of Westland Police and Fire Retirement System (hereafter 

“plaintiff”) filed the complaint in the above-captioned class action on October 4, 2007, 

against Sonic Solutions and certain of its officers and directors (collectively “defendants”); 

WHEREAS, defendants’ answer(s) or other response(s) to the above-captioned class 

action complaint are currently due on November 5, 2007; 

WHEREAS, any plaintiff wishing to be Lead Plaintiff in this action must file a 

request with the Court to be appointed Lead Plaintiff by December 3, 2007 pursuant to the 

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995; 

WHEREAS, at a date on or some time after December 3, 2007 the Court is expected 

to appoint Lead Plaintiff such that Lead Plaintiff is currently unknown; 

WHEREAS, plaintiff and defendants, after meeting and conferring, agree that 

judicial economy will be served by the entry of a schedule for the filing of defendants’ 

answer(s) or other response(s) to the complaint. 

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by plaintiff and defendants, 

through their respective counsel of record, as follows: 

1. Defendants will not be required to file and serve any answer(s) or other 

response(s) to the complaint in the above-captioned class action until at least 30 days after 

Lead Plaintiff has been appointed by the Court. 

2. Upon the Court’s appointment of Lead Plaintiff, defendants intend to meet 

and confer with Lead Plaintiff about whether Lead Plaintiff will file a consolidated or 

amended complaint. Should Lead Plaintiff intend to file a consolidated or amended 

complaint, then it is defendants’ position that no answer(s) or response(s) shall be due until 

after the consolidated or amended complaint is filed.
