STIPULATION

WHEREAS, on December 23, 2015, Plaintiffs filed an Unopposed Motion for 

Preliminary Approval of Collective Action Settlement, Appointment of Class Counsel, 

Approval of Proposed Class Notice, and Scheduling of a Final Approval Hearing (“Preliminary 

Approval Motion”) (ECF No. 394), seeking approval of the Settlement Agreement and Release 

executed on December 21, 2015 (“Settlement Agreement”), by and between the FLSA 

Plaintiffs1and Defendant PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“Defendant” or “PwC”) (collectively

the “Settling Parties”);

WHEREAS, on June 2, 2016, this Court entered an Order Granting Preliminary 

Approval of FLSA Associate Action Settlement; Appointment of a Settlement Administrator; 

Class Representatives; and Class Counsel for Settlement Purposes (“Preliminary Approval 

Order”) (ECF No. 397), which, inter alia, set forth deadlines for distribution of Class Notice 

and motions for Final Approval and approval of Class Representative Service Awards and 

Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, and scheduled a Final Approval Hearing for August 25, 2016;

WHEREAS, the Preliminary Approval Order stated “[u]pon entry of this Order, the 

[Settling] Parties shall proceed toward a hearing on Final Approval, consistent with the 

deadlines set forth in the Settlement Agreement” (ECF No. 397, at 8);

WHEREAS, the Preliminary Approval Order further expressly modified certain 

deadlines “set forth in the Settlement Agreement” (id., at 6-7 compare ECF No. 394-3, ¶ 108), 

and was silent as to a deadline for Class Counsel to file supplemental papers addressing any 

objections to the Settlement, which under the Settlement Agreement, was to be “10 (ten) days 

prior to the Final Approval Hearing” (id., ¶ 110);

WHEREAS, based upon the modified schedule set forth in the Preliminary Approval 

Order, the deadline for Class Counsel to file supplemental papers addressing any objections to 

the Settlement, as “set forth in the Settlement Agreement,” would occur before the deadline for 

Class Members to file objections or requests for exclusion from the Settlement;

 

1 All capitalized, undefined terms used herein have the same meanings set forth in the Settlement Agreement. See 

ECF No. 394-3.

WHEREAS, the Settling Parties and their counsel have been diligent in complying with 

all deadlines expressly set forth in the Preliminary Approval Order to timely “proceed toward 

[the August 25, 2016] hearing on Final Approval.” (ECF No. 397, at 8); and 

WHEREAS, on August 5, 2016, pursuant to the Preliminary Approval Order, Plaintiffs 

filed an Unopposed Motion for Final Approval of Collective Action Settlement and FLSA 

Settlement Class and an Unopposed Motion for Class Representative Service Awards and 

Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses (ECF Nos. 398, 399).

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between 

Plaintiffs and Defendant, through their respective undersigned counsel, that on August 22, 

2016, “FLSA Plaintiffs shall file supplemental papers addressing any objections to the 

Settlement and attach a list of all Class Members who submitted a valid and timely Exclusion 

Letter” (ECF No. 394-3, ¶ 110), which will allow Class Counsel adequate opportunity prior to 

the Final Approval Hearing to respond to any objections to the Settlement timely submitted by 

the August 16, 2016 Objection/Exclusion Deadline.
