WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Jason Moschella, David Singer, Ben Jennings, and Eli Kahan 

(“Class Plaintiffs”) and Plaintiffs James Wimmer, Samuel Allred, Hurr Baqri, Roberto Armando 

Islas Durand, John Valencia, Emily Mayo, Danny Williamson, and Leonard Rappel 

(“Individual Plaintiffs”), on the one hand, and Defendant Apple Computer, Inc. (“Defendant” or 

“Apple”), on the other hand, agree that Class Plaintiffs may be granted leave to file a First 

Consolidated and Amended Master Complaint in a form substantially similar to the draft 

Complaint attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

NOW, THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO THE COURT’S APPROVAL, IT IS HEREBY 

STIPULATED AND AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 

1. Within five (5) days of entry of this [Proposed] Order, Class Plaintiffs may file a First 

Consolidated and Amended Master Complaint in a form substantially similar to the draft 

Complaint attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

2. Within five (5) days of the filing of a First Consolidated and Amended Master Complaint, 

Individual Plaintiffs James Wimmer, John Valencia, and Leonard Rappel shall dismiss without 

prejudice their federal court actions against Apple; 

3. Within five (5) days of the filing of a First Consolidated and Amended Master Complaint, 

Individual Plaintiffs Emily Mayo and Danny Williamson shall request administrative closure of 

their Louisiana-based, federal court actions against Apple, or alternatively, they shall dismiss 

without prejudice their respective actions against Apple; 

4. Upon entry of this [Proposed] Order, Individual Plaintiffs Samuel Allred, Hurr Baqri, and 

Roberto Armando Islas Durand should be deemed to have asserted their pending claims in an 

individual capacity only, and not as putative class representatives. The parties agree that the 

Court should stay such claims during the MDL. Nothing herein is intended to expand, limit, 

grant, or deny the right of any Individual Plaintiff to seek to become a class representative at a 

later date as circumstances may warrant; and
