JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE DEADLINE WHETHER YUM! BRANDS, INC. IS 

A PROPER PARTY DEFENDANT

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs and Defendants 

that, pending approval by the Court, the deadline for Defendant Yum! Brands, Inc. ("Yum") to file 

its summary judgment motion is hereby continued by 31 days to March 1, 2010, as set forth 

below: 

This stipulation is based on the following facts: 

1. Pursuant to the Court's October 21, 2009 Order Continuing Deadlines Re Whether 

Yum! Brands, Inc. is a Proper Party Defendant, the deadline for Defendants to file any dispositive 

motion on that issue is January 29, 2010. The Court, on joint stipulation by the parties, previously 

extended the deadline for Defendants to file a dispositive motion on the issue of whether Yum is a 

proper party Defendant from November 30, 2009. 

2. Plaintiffs and Defendants believe that they may resolve the issue of whether Yum is 

a proper party defendant by stipulation. 

3. Such stipulation is likely to eliminate the need to file a dispositive motion. 

4. The deadline for Defendants to file a dispositive motion on the issue is rapidly 

approaching. 

5. The filing of a dispositive motion by Defendants may moot or otherwise harm the 

parties' attempt to resolve the issue by stipulation. 

6. The parties have met and conferred and have agreed that more time is needed to 

work out the details of a stipulation. The parties agree that a continuance of 31 days, from January 

29, 2010 to March 1, 2010, of Defendants' deadline to file a dispositive motion on this issue is 

sufficient for this purpose. 

7. The agreed upon continuance shall not affect any other deadlines. 

Accordingly, the parties hereby apply to the Court for an order continuing the deadline for 

Defendants to file a dispositive motion as to whether Yum is a proper party defendant by 31 days 

to March 1, 2010.
