Plaintiff, by and through its attorneys of record, and defendants, by and through their

19 attorneys of record, hereby stipulate, subject to approval of the Court, to extend the stay of
20 proceedings in this action to January 24, 2014, so as to allow time for continued negotiations
21 between the parties and a potential resolution of the action. The parties have met and conferred
22 multiple times during the stay of this proceeding, have made substantial progress towards resolution,
23 and believe that a short extension of the stay of proceeding could result in a resolution of the
24 underlying issues and a dismissal of the action.
25

If no resolution of this action occurs by January 24, 2014, the parties agree to prepare and file

26 a supplemental joint status report with a proposed briefing schedule by February 7, 2014.
