CLASS ACTION

STIPULATION EXTENDING RESPONSE DEADLINE PENDING APPOINTMENT OF LEAD PLAINTIFF AND LEAD COUNSEL

[Civil L.R. 6-1(a)]

CHARLES R. BREYER, District Judge.

RECITALS

A. Plaintiff commenced this purported securities class action on June 6, 2011;

B. This action is governed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4 et seq. (the "Reform Act");

C. Pursuant to the provisions of the Reform Act, motions for appointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel are due to be filed on or about August 5, 2011;

D. Defendants' response to the complaint is presently due on or about August 15, 2011;

E. The parties agree that deferring Defendants' response until after the Court appoints a lead plaintiff and lead counsel pursuant to the Reform Act is prudent and will conserve party and judicial resources;

STIPULATION

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-1(a) as follows:

1. Defendants shall have no obligation to respond to the complaint until after the Court appoints a lead plaintiff and lead counsel; and

2. Defendants will meet and confer with the court-appointed lead counsel within fourteen days after the Court makes its appointment to discuss a schedule for the filing of any amended complaint and Defendants' response, including their currently anticipated motion to dismiss.
