STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR DEFENDANTS TO FILE A RESPONSIVE PLEADING 

 WHEREAS the Verified Complaint for Damages, Restitution, Rescission, and Civil 

Penalties ("Complaint") in this Action was filed in Sacramento County Superior Court on December 

31, 2009; 

 WHEREAS simultaneous with the filing of the Complaint, Plaintiff California Earthquake 

Authority filed a Motion to Disqualify Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP as counsel for Defendants 

Metropolitan West Securities, LLC and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (collectively “Wachovia”); 

 WHEREAS this Action was removed to this Court on February 4, 2010; 

 WHEREAS on February 25, 2010, this Court entered an Order pursuant to the parties’ 

stipulation extending the time for Wachovia to file a responsive pleading until forty-five days after 

the Court had issued its ruling on Plaintiff’s Motion to Disqualify; 

 WHEREAS on April 2, 2010, this Court entered an Order pursuant to the parties’ stipulation 

extending the deadline for the parties to submit a Joint Status Report until twenty-one days after the 

case has been put at issue by the filing of Wachovia’s Answer; 

 WHEREAS Plaintiff’s Motion to Disqualify was granted by this Court’s Order of May 5, 

2010; 

 WHEREAS this Court’s Order of May 5, 2010 stayed the Action for forty-five days to permit 

Wachovia to obtain new counsel and required the parties to submit a joint status (pretrial scheduling) 

conference statement within twenty days of the substitution of new counsel; 

 WHEREAS Wachovia has recently retained the law firm of Reed Smith LLP to represent it 

in this action, and new counsel requires additional time in order to familiarize itself with the case and 

to prepare Wachovia’s responsive pleading; 

 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and among Plaintiff California 

Earthquake Authority and Defendants Metropolitan West Securities LLC and Wachovia Bank, 

N.A., through the undersigned counsel, as follows: 

 1. The time for Defendants Metropolitan West Securities LLC and Wachovia Bank, 

N.A. to answer, move against, or otherwise respond to the Complaint shall be extended until July 2, 

2010.
