STIP. AND ORDER TO EXTEND TOLLING AND CONTINUE CMC, ADR DEADLINE AND HEARING

DATE AND BRIEFING SCHEDULE [CASE NO. CV 05-0585 CW] Page 2

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, the parties in the above-captioned matter hereby stipulate to

continue the hearing date for the Plaintiffs' Hoffman-LaRoche motion from November 18, 2005,

at 10:00 a.m., to January 6, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. Plaintiffs' Hoffman-LaRoche motion shall be

filed on November 4, 2005, with Defendants' opposition due on December 2, 2005, and

Plaintiffs' reply due on December 23, 2005.

The parties further stipulate to continue the hearing date and briefing schedule for

Plaintiffs' class certification motion until after the completion of the briefing on the

Hoffman-LaRoche motion. Plaintiffs shall file their class certification motion on March 3, 2006,

with Defendants' opposition due on March 31, 2006, and Plaintiffs' reply due on April 21, 2006. 

The hearing on this matter shall be continued from November 18, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. to May 12,

2006 at 10:00 a.m.

The parties further stipulate to continue the Case Management Conference currently set

for November 18, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., to January 6, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. The parties also stipulate

to continue the deadline for private mediation in this case from December 30, 2005 to July 30,

2006.

The continuation of the hearing date and briefing schedule regarding Plaintiffs' motions is

necessary due to disagreement about the scope of document production in this case. Without a

continuation, Plaintiffs contend they would not have an adequate opportunity to conduct

discovery prior to filing their Hoffman-LaRoche and class certification motions. Furthermore,

Plaintiffs recently filed a Second Amended Complaint which includes a class action claim under

California law and Plaintiffs contend it is necessary for them to conduct additional discovery

prior to seeking class certification of this claim. In the interests of addressing class certification

of the proposed ERISA class and the California class at the same time, the parties believe that it

is appropriate to further continue the hearing date and briefing schedule for Plaintiffs' class

certification motion with respect to all class claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint. 

The proposed schedule will allow the Court to address class certification of Plaintiff's proposed

ERISA and California law classes at the same time.

STIP. AND ORDER TO EXTEND TOLLING AND CONTINUE CMC, ADR DEADLINE AND HEARING

DATE AND BRIEFING SCHEDULE [CASE NO. CV 05-0585 CW] Page 3

This stipulation is made without prejudice to the parties' further right to seek leave from the

current hearing dates and briefing schedule. 

The parties further agree, by and through their attorneys of record, that the Stipulation

Re: Tolling of Statute of Limitations entered into between the parties, a copy of which is

attached hereto as Exhibit 1 ("Original Stipulation"), is hereby extended through to November

18, 2005. 

The parties disagree regarding the application of the Original Stipulation to e-Business

Systems Consultants employed by Wells Fargo & Co. or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and to all

Business Systems Consultants, Business Systems Analysts, and/or e-Business Systems

Consultants employed by Wells Fargo Services Company prior to the entry of the Second

Amended Complaint on September 7, 2005. Plaintiffs contend that the claims of these

individuals were tolled by the Original Stipulation. Defendants contend that the claims of these

individuals were not tolled by the Original Stipulation, but agrees that the claims of e-Business

Systems Consultants employed by Wells Fargo & Co. or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and all

Business Systems Consultants, Business Systems Analysts, and/or e-Business Systems

Consultants employed by Wells Fargo Services Company are tolled from September 7, 2005, the

date of entry of the Second Amended Complaint, to November 18, 2005.

This tolling agreement shall expire as to all affected individuals absent further action on

November 18, 2005, unless extended by mutual written agreement by counsel for all parties. 

This tolling agreement shall be of no continued force or effect with respect to any individual

once the agreement has expired.
