STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SHORTENING THE TIME BY WHICH FXCM’S MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL AND TRIAL DATES MAY BE HEARD 

The parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate to shorten the 

time by which Defendant Forex Capital Markets LLC’s (“FXCM”) Motion for Leave to Amend 

Scheduling Order to Continue Pretrial and Trial Dates may be heard. 

In early June 2006, FXCM requested Plaintiff Creative Science Systems, Inc.’s 

(“CSS”) stipulation for FXCM to continue the pretrial and trial dates currently scheduled in this 

action. CSS thereafter denied FXCM’s request. Accordingly, FXCM is proceeding with a Motion 

for Leave to Amend Scheduling Order to Continue Pretrial and Trial Dates, which is being filed 

concurrently herewith. 

Although the parties disagree whether FXCM should be granted leave to amend the 

existing Scheduling Order to continue pretrial and trial dates, they are in agreement that, in light of 

the current case schedule, FXCM’s Motion for Leave to Amend is most efficiently heard on 

shortened time. Trial in this action is set for November 3, 2006, and additional deadlines under the 

case management schedule are approaching. For example, there is presently an August 4, 2006 

deadline for completing all expert discovery that could be impacted by FXCM’s Motion, thereby 

significantly impacting the work of both parties and their experts in the pending weeks. The earliest 

date available from the Court on a regularly noticed schedule for the Motion for Leave to Amend is 

not until July 21, 2006, approximately two weeks before the present close of expert discovery and 

one month before the present deadline for filing dispositive motions. Therefore, the parties believe 

an abbreviated schedule is the best means by which to resolve FXCM’s Motion for Leave to Amend, 

so that both parties and their experts may plan accordingly. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate to the following schedule for FXCM’s Motion for 

Leave to Amend: 

June 16, 2006: deadline for FXCM to file and serve Motion for Leave to Amend and 

supporting documents.
