WHEREAS, Defendants have responded in writing to Plaintiffs on all discovery requests

Co., Inc. ESOP Plan Committee, and CIG ESOP Plan Committee have not

produced the bulk of their hard-copy production and have produced no

not been able to complete production;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that depositions of Defendants and other witnesses will be

more efficient and productive if Plaintiffs have had an opportunity to review all relevant

documents;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that the exchange of discovery has been slower than was

anticipated when the scheduling order was entered;

WHEREAS, the parties wish to avoid motions to compel production, which will be timeconsuming and expensive, but will be necessary if all parties are not relieved from the current

schedule; 

WHEREAS, the litigation schedule overlaps with the December holidays, and so the

parties have adjusted certain dates to accommodate the celebration of the holidays by the parties

and the Court;

WHEREAS, therefore, the parties agree that the proposed schedule below will better

enable the resolution of this litigation on its merits;

Accordingly IT IS HEREBY AGREED AND STIPULATED by the parties through their

1. Further Status Conference: July 17, 2007.
