Pursuant to Rule 4 of the Honorable Judge Breyer's Standing Order, and subject to the Court's approval, Defendants Lennar Associates Management, LLC, and Lennar Corporation dba Lennar Homes, (collectively "Lennar"), and Plaintiff Eric Gundersen ("Gundersen") hereby stipulate to a continuance of Plaintiff's Motion for FLSA Certification [D.E. #61, amending original motion at D.E. #59] ("FLSA Motion") and Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint [D.E. #46] ("Motion to Amend Complaint") (collectively, "Motions"), currently scheduled for June 25, 2010, to reset the Motions for hearing on August 20, 2010, and they show as follows: 1. The parties desire to engage in further settlement discussions and focus their

efforts on attempting to resolve this action without incurring the additional attorneys' fees and costs associated with Plaintiff's Motions. 2. To allow the parties sufficient time to engage in a further settlement dialogue, the

parties hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court approve a continuance of the hearing on Plaintiff's Motions to August 20, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. 3. The parties further stipulate and agree to toll the statute of limitations as a legal

defense to Plaintiff's proposed cause of action for violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §201, et seq., for a Tolling Period consisting of the 30-day period from and including June 25, 2010 until July 24, 2010. 4. This tolling will not act as a revival of any limitations period for claims for which

the applicable limitations period(s) have already expired as of the date of this stipulation. 5. By stipulating to a Tolling Period as described above, Lennar preserves its

objections to the inclusion of an FLSA claim in this action and does not waive its right to oppose Plaintiff's motion for leave to amend to add an FLSA claim to his complaint. 6. By stipulating to a Tolling Period as described above, Plaintiff does not waive his

request for further equitable tolling as set forth in his FLSA Motion [D.E. #61], and Lennar reserves its right to oppose Plaintiff's request for any further equitable tolling. /// ///
