WHEREAS, this Court entered final approval of the Consent Decree on August 6, 2008; WHEREAS, Section XVIII(C) of the Consent Decree requires Defendants to submit an annual Progress Report to the Diversity Monitor and Class Counsel on an annual basis and provides that the reports are due 30 days after the close of designated reporting periods; WHEREAS, the Consent Decree requires that Defendants report, among other things, whether certain hiring benchmarks for the hiring of African-American job applicants are met in a given reporting year; WHEREAS, this Court entered an Order dated October 1, 2009, amending Section XVIII(C) of the Consent Decree to give Defendants 90 days after the close of the designated reporting periods to submit the Annual Progress Report; WHEREAS, for the 2009 reporting period, Defendants require an additional two weeks to complete the hiring benchmark analysis due to an unavoidable delay in the collection of applicant flow data and subsequent data analyses; WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred on this issue, and Class Counsel does not oppose Defendants' proposal that Defendants be provided an additional two weeks to submit the first progress report for the 2009 reporting year; and WHEREAS, the Parties agree that this proposed two-week extension to extend the date for submission of the first Progress Report to the Diversity Monitor and Class Counsel does not materially alter Defendants' obligations under the Consent Decree. IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES that Defendants shall have an additional two weeks to submit the first annual Progress Report as set forth in Section XVIII(C) of the Consent Decree, as previously amended by Court Order. 1
