SO STIPULATED

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, this stipulation is supported by the following Declaration of Thomas Laughlin.

DECLARATION OF THOMAS LAUGHLIN

I, Thomas Laughlin, declare:

1. I am an attorney at Scott+Scott LLP, counsel for Plaintiffs in this action. I have the principal responsibility for preparing Plaintiffs' brief in opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss. I make this declaration in support of the parties' stipulation to extend the briefing schedule for Defendants' motion to dismiss by one week.

2. This is the first request for an extension of time of the briefing schedule for Defendants' motion to dismiss.

3. The parties have stipulated to this extension at my request. Although I have acted with due diligence, several other matters have required my immediate attention in recent weeks, including ongoing discovery in a case in the Eastern District of Michigan, ongoing discovery in a case in the District of Maine and an unexpected motion in a case pending in the Southern District of New York.

4. The hearing on Defendants' motion to dismiss is scheduled for January 31, 2013. Therefore, it does not appear that the requested extension will impact the schedule in this case.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on October 11, 2012 at New York, New York.

SO ORDERED.
