WHEREAS, the Court issued an Order Modifying Amended Status (Pre-trial Scheduling) 

Order on March 5, 2010, amending and establishing discovery, motion, pre-trial and trial dates in 

this matter (“Second Amended Status Order”); 

WHEREAS, the Stipulation in support of the Second Amended Status Order indicated 

that the Parties had commenced discussions to explore an acceptable informal resolution to this 

matter, and that the amendment of the schedule as set forth in the Second Amended Status Order 

would allow the Parties adequate time to prepare their respective cases, and would provide an 

opportunity for substantive settlement discussions; 

WHEREAS, for the period from the Second Amended Status Order to the present, the 

Parties have engaged in substantive settlement discussions; 

WHEREAS, during those settlement discussions, the parties agreed to postpone discovery 

and other trial preparation in the case pending the outcome of those discussions and to stipulate to 

a postponement of pretrial discovery deadlines; 

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the continued good faith efforts of the Parties, a resolution 

to this matter has not yet been achieved; and 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to resume discovery and trial preparation on a schedule 

that will ensure that no party is prejudiced by the informal stay of discovery in effect during the 

pendency of settlement discussions. 

NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the Parties that the 

dates set forth in the Second Amended Status Order shall be modified as follows: 

Non-Expert Discovery Cut-Off: April 15, 2011 

Expert Disclosures: June 15, 2011 

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures: July 15, 2011 

Completion of All Discovery: August 26, 2011 

Deadline to File Dispositive Motions: November 11, 2011
