-2- Case No. 04-CV-02665-MEJ

This stipulation is entered into for the purpose of providing the Parties an opportunity to

resolve the matter through mediation prior to expending the resources necessary to disclose and

depose experts and because two of the attorneysinvolved in the matter have multiple week vacations

scheduled in July and early August. The Parties participated in a mediation of this matter on June 22,

2005 with the Honorable Mark L. Eaton, Judge of the Superior Court, (Ret.). While the matter did

not resolve on the day of mediation, the parties remain hopeful and optimistic that a settlement may

be reached. Judge Eaton has agreed to remain involved in an attempt to fashion a resolution of the

matter. In the event that the matter does not resolve at mediation, the Parties will then disclose and

depose expert witnesses. The Parties agree that the chances of resolution of this matter are enhanced

if the Parties are able to delay in expending funds for expert witnesses. The Parties therefore believe

that the extension in time requested herein will enhance the likelihood that the mediation will be

successful in resolving the case. Additionally, J. Jeffery Long, counselfor two of the Defendants and

Ronald J. Palmeri have vacations scheduled for July and early August. In light of the previously

scheduled vacations, said counsel request the dates be extended as herein requested. For the reasons

set forth above, the Parties hereby stipulate to the requested extension.
