STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SHORTENING THE TIME BY WHICH FOREX CAPITAL MARKETS 

LLC’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND ANSWER AND COUNTERCLAIMS IS HEARD 

The parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate to shorten the time by 

which Forex Capital Markets LLC’s (“FXCM”) Motion for Leave to Amend Answer and 

Counterclaims is Heard. 

On January 12, 2006, FXCM requested Creative Science Systems, Inc.’s (“CSS”) stipulation 

for FXCM to file an Amended Answer and Counterclaims which would add counterclaims for (1) 

Deceit, (2) Supression of Fact, (3) Promise Made Without Intention to Perform and (4) Negligent 

Misrepresentation. CSS thereafter denied FXCM’s request. Accordingly, FXCM is proceeding with 

a Motion for Leave to Amend, a copy of which is being filed concurrently herewith. 

Although the parties disagree whether FXCM should be granted leave to amend its Answer 

and Counterclaims, they are in agreement that, in light of the current case management schedule, 

FXCM’s Motion for Leave to Amend is most efficiently heard on a shortened schedule. Trial in this 

action is set for April 17, 2006, approximately three months from now. Additional deadlines under 

the case management schedule are approaching. The earliest date available from the Court on a 

regularly noticed schedule for the Motion for Leave to Amend is not until March 10, 2006, 

approximately one month before trial. Therefore, the parties believe an abbreviated schedule is the 

best means by which to resolve FXCM’s Motion for Leave to Amend. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate to the following schedule for FXCM’s Motion for Leave to 

Amend: 

January 23, 2006: deadline for FXCM to file and serve Motion for Leave to Amend and 

supporting documents. 

February 1, 2006: deadline for CSS to file and serve its Opposition to Motion for Leave to 

Amend.
