SCHEDULING STIPULATION

CASE NO. C-06-7121-SI 

WHEREAS, on November 16, 2006, plaintiff Stephen Alexander filed a putative class 

action complaint commencing this action; 

WHEREAS, on December 4, 2006, defendants filed a Motion To Transfer this action to 

the District of New Jersey under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a); 

WHEREAS, plaintiff will oppose the Motion to Transfer; 

WHEREAS, defendants’ Motion To Transfer is scheduled to be heard by this Court on 

February 2, 2007; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Private Litigation Securities Reform Act, plaintiff published 

on December 5, 2006 a notice of the pendency of this action and of the right to move for 

appointment as lead plaintiff, so the deadline for filing any such motion will be February 5, 2007; 

WHEREAS, on December 6, 2006, defendants proposed an extension of time whereby 

defendants need not respond to the complaint until 30 days after the Court rules upon the pending 

Motion To Transfer; 

WHEREAS, plaintiff proposed that the time for defendants to respond be set only after 

appointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel and determination of whether an amended 

complaint would be filed; and 

WHEREAS, defendants do not wish to pre-determine any dates that would be set by a 

different Court if their motion to transfer was granted. 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby agree 

and stipulate as follows, subject to the Court’s approval: 

1. The time for defendants to move against or answer plaintiff’s complaint shall be 

extended until 30 days following the Court’s entry of decision on defendants’ Motion To Transfer. 

2. Upon the determination of the Motion to Transfer, the parties will further meet and 

confer regarding the filing of an amended complaint. 

Dated: December 11, 2006
