CASE NO. C-06-7370-MJJ 2

Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint unless and until thirty days after the Court 

makes the threshold determinations that demand on the Clorox’s Board of Directors is excused 

and Plaintiff has standing pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 to proceed with her 

derivative claims on behalf of Clorox against the Individual Defendants. Id. ¶ 5; Docket Item No. 

15. 

5. Plaintiff has requested additional time to oppose Clorox’s motion to dismiss and 

Defendants are willing to provide Plaintiff additional time to oppose the motion, subject to the 

Court’s approval. Eth Decl. ¶ 6. 

6. A Case Management Conference is presently scheduled for March 6, 2007. Id. ¶ 

7. 

7. In light of the pendency of Clorox’s motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 23.1, the parties agree that it is premature to discuss the issues set forth in Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure 16 and 26, and believe that the ends of justice will be best served if the 

Case Management Conference is not held unless and until 45 days after the Court rules that 

Plaintiff has standing pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 to proceed with her 

derivative claims on behalf of Clorox against the Individual Defendants. Id. ¶ 8. 

8. By entering into this Stipulation, the Specially-Appearing Defendants do not 

waive, and expressly reserve, any jurisdictional defenses that they may have. 

THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate, subject to the Court’s approval, that: 

1. Plaintiff shall file her opposition brief to Clorox’s motion to dismiss, if any, on or 

before April 10, 2007. 

2. Clorox shall file its reply brief on or before May 8, 2007. 

3. The hearing on Clorox’s motion to dismiss shall be reset from March 27, 2007, to 

May 22, 2007, at 9:30 a.m., or as soon thereafter as convenient for the Court. 

4. The Case Management Conference presently scheduled for March 6, 2007, shall 

not be held unless and until 45 days after the Court rules that Plaintiff has standing pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 to proceed with her derivative claims on behalf of Clorox 

against the Individual Defendants.
