 WHEREAS by Joint Stipulation dated January 21, 2010 and So Ordered by this Court 

[D.E. 255], the parties informed the Court that they had scheduled a mediation of this action 

before Judge Layn R. Phillips; and 

 WHEREAS, at the request of the parties and in light of the upcoming mediation, the 

Court entered certain deadlines regarding discovery and class certification proceedings which 

were to be met “in the event the case does not settle” [D.E. 255]; and 

 WHEREAS, the parties are now pleased to report to the Court that they have reached an 

agreement-in-principle to settle this action; and 

 WHEREAS the parties are now proceeding with the drafting of a class action settlement 

stipulation and related documents, including the Notice to the Class, all of which will require 

Court approval; and 

 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and agree, as follows: 

1. In accordance with the prior Stipulation and Order [D.E. 255], all prior 

deadlines in the action with respect to Class Certification and discovery are hereby stayed; and 

2. The parties shall proceed to negotiate a class action settlement stipulation and

Upon completion of those documents, plaintiffs will move the Court for preliminary approval 

of the settlement, Notice to the Class and for hearing on final settlement approval (the 

“Preliminary Approval Motion”).
