STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING LEAVE FOR PUTNAM TO FILE HIS SECOND 

AMENDED COMPLAINT, SETTING DISCOVERY CUT-OFF DATE, AND REQUESTING RESET CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

CASE NO. C 05-1330 CW 

377399.01 

Plaintiff Donald H. Putnam (“Putnam”) and defendants National Bank Financial, Inc., 

National Bank of Canada, and Putnam Lovell NBF Securities, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) 

hereby stipulate to the following under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15 and Civil Local Rules 

6-1, 6-2, and 7-12: 

1. The parties agree that the Court should grant Putnam leave, pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a), to file the Second Amended Complaint attached hereto as Exhibit 

A. 

2. The parties also agree that Defendants shall file their Answer to Putnam’s Second 

Amended Complaint on or before August 18, 2006. 

3. The parties further agree that, due to the parties’ mediation efforts, the anticipated 

filing of Putnam’s Second Amended Complaint, the change in defendants’ lead counsel and 

other exigencies, the date for completion of fact discovery and expert disclosure should be set for 

September 30, 2006, pending the next Case Management Conference. 

4. The parties also request that the next Case Management Conference, currently 

scheduled for September 15, 2006, be vacated and reset for the earliest possible date after July 

31, 2006, for the Court and counsel to address other scheduling issues. The parties are 

discussing whether, in light of the discovery to be completed and the time spent to date on a 

good faith effort at mediation, one or both of them may ask the court to extend the trial date. 

5. Previous modifications to the schedule in this case related to the briefing and 

hearing of Defendants’ motions to dismiss, an extension of time for Putnam to file his First 

Amended Complaint, and a previous request to extend the discovery cut-off and change the date 

of the last Case Management Conference.
