STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR DEFENDANTS TO FILE AN ANSWER 

 WHEREAS the Verified Complaint for Damages, Restitution, Rescission, and Civil 

Penalties ("Complaint") in this Action was filed in Sacramento County Superior Court on December 

31, 2009; 

 WHEREAS simultaneous with the filing of the Complaint, Plaintiff California Earthquake 

Authority filed a Motion to Disqualify Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP as counsel for Defendants 

Metropolitan West Securities, LLC and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (collectively “Wachovia”); 

 WHEREAS this Action was removed to this Court on February 4, 2010; 

 WHEREAS on February 25, 2010, this Court entered an Order pursuant to the parties’ 

stipulation extending the time for Wachovia to file a responsive pleading until forty-five days after 

the Court had issued its ruling on Plaintiff’s Motion to Disqualify; 

 WHEREAS on April 2, 2010, this Court entered an Order pursuant to the parties’ stipulation 

extending the deadline for the parties to submit a Joint Status Report until twenty-one days after the 

case has been put at issue by the filing of Wachovia’s Answer; 

 WHEREAS Plaintiff’s Motion to Disqualify was granted by this Court’s Order of May 5, 

2010; 

 WHEREAS this Court’s Order of May 5, 2010 stayed the Action for forty-five days to permit 

Wachovia to obtain new counsel and required the parties to submit a joint status (pretrial scheduling) 

conference statement within twenty days of the substitution of new counsel; 

 WHEREAS this Court’s Order of June 21, 2010, pursuant to Stipulation of the parties 

permitted Wachovia until July 2, 2010 to file a responsive pleading and for the parties to file a joint 

status (pretrial scheduling) conference statement within twenty-one days of Wachovia putting the 

case at issue by filing an answer; 

 WHEREAS Counsel for Wachovia, Mr. Jesse Miller is an officer in the California Army 

National Guard, and service requirements related to recent events in the State, have or may interfere 

with his involvement in the case through July 5, 2010; 

 WHEREAS Wachovia has determined that it will Answer the Complaint, rather than file a 

motion to dismiss or some other responsive pleading; 

 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among Plaintiff California
