WHEREAS after filing the Complaint for declaratory relief and prior to serving the Complaint,

Lexington was informed that the remaining plaintiff in the underlying litigation, BAE Systems, and

defendant herein, filed a motion for leave to file a First Amended Complaint. The motion was set

for hearing on April 6, 2010 and was only recently granted by the Court. The Amended Complaint

is in the process of being served and a response to that Amended Complaint will be filed by the

remaining defendants in the underlying litigation. The Amended Complaint adds allegations that

are material and relevant to the coverage issues herein.

WHEREAS the amendment of the underlying Complaint and settlement of certain claims in

the underlying action directly impact Lexington’s coverage action and require Lexington to amend

its Complaint. Lexington, therefore, seeks leave of this Court to continue certain dates based upon

its need to file an Amended Complaint. 

WHEREAS no prior time modifications have been requested by Lexington or granted by the

Court. The requested time modifications would not unfairly prejudice any parties or cause a grave

delay in the schedule of this case. 

WHEREAS it is in the interests of judicial economy to allow Lexington to serve its Amended

Complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a) and continue dates based upon such

amendment allowed once by course. Lexington will file and serve its Amended Complaint on or

before April 22, 2010. 

Lexington respectfully moves the Court, unilaterally, as no other party has been served,

pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, for an order extending the time for the following:

The last day to meet and confer re: initial disclosures, early settlement,

ADR process selection, and discovery plan; file ADR certification; file

either Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone

Conference from current date of April 14, 2010 to June 7, 2010.

The last day to file Rule 26(f) Report, complete initial disclosures or state

objection in Rule 26(f) Report and file Case Management Statement per

Standing Order re Contents of Joint Case Management Statement from

current date of April 28, 2010 to June 17, 2010
