WHEREAS, the above-captioned action is a class action asserting violations of sections 

10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b) and 78t(a)) against 

Defendants Wachovia Corporation, G. Kennedy Thompson, Thomas J. Wurtz, and Donald K. 

Truslow (collectively referred to as “Defendants”); 

WHEREAS, the above-captioned action is subject to the procedural requirements of the 

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-67, 109 Stat. 737 (1995) (the 

“Reform Act”), which sets forth specialized procedures for the administration of securities class 

actions; 

WHEREAS, the PSLRA provides for the appointment of lead plaintiff(s) to act on behalf of 

the purported class, and further provides that the appointment of lead plaintiff(s) shall not be made 

until after a decision on a motion to consolidate is rendered (15 U.S.C. §78u-4(a)(3)(B)(ii)); 

WHEREAS, motions to consolidate and for appointment of lead plaintiff(s) and lead counsel 

will be filed in the above-captioned action by August 8, 2008; and 

WHEREAS, because the special procedures specified in the Reform Act contemplate (i) the 

consolidation of similar actions, (ii) appointment of lead plaintiff(s) and (iii) the filing of a single 

consolidated complaint by lead plaintiff(s) and counsel to be appointed by the Court, requiring 

Defendants to respond to the initial complaint in the above-captioned action would serve no purpose 

and would result in the needless expenditure of private and judicial resources; 

IT IS ACCORDINGLY STIPULATED, by and between the undersigned counsel for the 

parties in this action, as follows: 

1. Defendants need not respond to the current complaint. 

2. Lead Plaintiffs shall file an amended and /or consolidated complaint in this action 

no later than forty-five (45) days following issuance of an order by the Court 

appointing a lead plaintiff and lead counsel. 

3. Defendants shall have up to forty-five (45) days from the date of the filing and 

service of an amended and /or consolidated complaint to file Rule 12 motion(s).
