CLASS ACTION

WHEREAS, the above-captioned actions are securities class action lawsuits, governed

WHEREAS, on January 19, 2010, seven motions for consolidation and for appointment 

as lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel were filed (the “Lead Plaintiff Motions”);

WHEREAS, between January 28, 2010 and February 10, 2010, four movants withdrew

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 3

sf- 2806501

WHEREAS, it is expected that the Court will designate a lead plaintiff who will 

thereafter file a Consolidated Complaint for the consolidated action, which will become the 

operative complaint and shall supersede all complaints previously filed in these actions; and

WHEREAS, it would be premature and a waste of judicial resources to hold the Case 

Management Conference in these actions before the Court designates a lead plaintiff and a 

Consolidated Complaint is filed.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED among the undersigned parties as 

follows:

(1) Within thirty days of the filing of a Consolidated Complaint by the lead plaintiff 

designated by the Court, the parties will meet and confer and propose to the Court a new date 

for the Case Management Conference.
