WHEREAS, VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) and Heartland Payments

for Defendant to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint until December 28,

January 21, 2010 for the parties to (1) meet and confer regarding initial disclosures, early 

settlement, ADR process selection, and the discovery plan, (2) file ADR certification, and (3) 

file either a Stipulation to ADR Process or a Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference; 

WHEREAS, the Court in its November 6, 2009 Order set a deadline of 

February 4, 2010 for the parties to (1) file a Rule 26(f) Report, (2) complete initial disclosures,

WHEREAS, the Court in its November 6, 2009 Order scheduled the Initial

Complaint shall be extended from December 28, 2009 to February 16, 2010.
