I. SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT REGARDING CO-PENDING LITIGATIONS

Pursuant to the Court’s instructions during the case management conference on April 6,

2015, NobelBiz provides the following supplemental update regarding the NobelBiz, Inc. v.

Global Connect, L.L.C., 6:12-cv-00244-RWS (E.D. Tex.) and NobelBiz, Inc. v. TCN, Inc., 6:12-

cv-00247-RWS (E.D. Tex.) cases (collectively, the “Global Connect and TCN cases”) currently

pending before the Honorable Robert W. Schroeder III in the Eastern District of Texas. Shortly

after filing the Joint Statement of Compliance and Statement by Plaintiff Regarding Co-Pending

Litigations (Dkt. 131) with this Court on Friday, April 18, 2015, the court in the Global Connect

and TCN cases issued an Order setting a Pretrial Conference for May 11, 2015. During the

Pretrial Conference, the court will hear argument on all motions currently pending before the

court, which include fully-briefed summary judgment motions, Daubert motions, motions to

strike, and motions in limine. The Order also requires NobelBiz and the defendants in the Global

Connect and TCN cases to meet and confer in advance of the conference to determine the

parties’ availability for a summer or fall trial date.

Anticipating a summer or fall trial date for the Global Connect and TCN cases in the

Eastern District of Texas, NobelBiz, Inc., LiveVox, Inc., and Five9, Inc. (collectively, the

“Parties”) respectfully and jointly propose the below revised case management schedule for the

above-captioned cases pending before this Court. Most notably, the proposed revised case

management schedule extends the deadline for the close of fact discovery to January 15, 2016,

the same day as the close of expert discovery. The Parties do not propose any changes to the

trial date set by the Court or any dates dependent on the trial date.
