Plaintiff Louisiana Pacific Corporation (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Money Market 1 

Institutional Investment Dealer (“MM1”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”) 

(collectively, “Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate 

as follows: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), asserting 13 causes of 

action, on March 8, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the Court issued its order denying DBSI’s motion to transfer venue pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) on March 22, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the parties previously stipulated and the Court ordered that if DBSI’s motion 

to transfer was denied, the Defendants would have 30 days after such order was entered to answer 

or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s operative pleading, if any defendant filed a motion to dismiss, 

Plaintiff would serve its opposition within 45 days after service of any such motion to dismiss, 

and Defendants would have 30 days to serve any reply; 

WHEREAS, the FAC asserts federal securities fraud, California securities fraud, and 

common law fraud claims against Defendants and breach of fiduciary duty and negligent 

misrepresentation claims against MM1 in connection with auction-rate securities (“ARS”) – 

financial instruments that pay interest at rates set at periodic auctions; 

WHEREAS, the FAC alleges over the course of 237 paragraphs and 79 pages that 

Defendants engaged in a comprehensive scheme to defraud Plaintiff in violation of Section 10(b) 

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, that Defendants violated Sections 25500, 

25501 and 25504.1 of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, that Defendants 

committed common law fraud and that MM1 made negligent misrepresentations and breached its 

fiduciary duties to Plaintiff; 

WHEREAS, the FAC contains allegations concerning 14 different securities purchased by 

Plaintiff and alleges that defendant DBSI’s wrongful conduct involved eight different securities 

underwritten by it and that defendant MM1’s wrongful conduct involved those same eight 

different securities plus an additional six different securities underwritten by the Merrill Lynch 

defendants;

MM1’s deadline to respond to the FAC;
