STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Plaintiff James W. Brown (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant ClearPoint Advantage, LLC 

(“Defendant” or “ClearPoint”) hereby submit the following Stipulation and [Proposed] Order: 

WHEREAS, in the Case Management Scheduling Order dated July 7, 2008, the Court 

set November 26, 2008 as the deadline to file any motion for class certification; 

WHEREAS, on July 25, 2008, the parties received a Notice of Settlement Conference 

to be conducted on November 17, 2008; 

WHERAS, in the period following July 7, 2008, the Parties have informally exchanged 

information related to underlying theories of liability and Defendant’s distressed financial 

condition; 

WHERAS, in light of Defendant’s distressed financial condition and the impending 

settlement conference, the Parties have endeavored to avoid any costly formal discovery and/or 

motion practice in order that both sides can minimize legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses; 

and 

WHEREAS, in light of Defendant’s distressed financial condition and the impending 

settlement conference, the Parties would like to avoid engaging in the formal discovery 

necessary for Plaintiff to prepare and file a class certification motion until after an opportunity 

to participate in the scheduled settlement conference; 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by Plaintiff and Defendant, through 

their respective counsel, that the deadline for Plaintiff to file his motion for class certification 

should be continued to January 5, 2009. In so stipulating, the Parties are in agreement that if 

the November 17, 2008 settlement conference does not resolve the matter, they will cooperate 

in ensuring that Plaintiff is able to complete his class certification discovery promptly so as to 

meet the continued motion filing deadline. The Parties further state that in requesting this 

extension of time to file the motion for class certification, they are not requesting that the dates
