JOINT STATUS REPORT AND REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
30-DAY STAY OF ALL PROCEEDINGS
This Joint Status Report is submitted in response to the Cou1t’s Order of July 17, 2004
pursuant to which this case was stayed for 45 days to pennit the parties to discuss settlement.
Since then, the parties have tentatively agreed upon many of the terms of a settlement and have
exchanged several drafts of a settlement agreement. Notwithstanding said good faith efforts to
resolve this matter during the 45-day stay, there remain a few substantive issues that need to be
negotiated further. Details of implementing the proposed settlement have been more time
consuming than the parties originally anticipated.
The parties believe that they have made substantial progress toward resolving this case
and that an extension for 30 days of the current stay would likely be sufficient to conclude a

settlement if the few outstanding issues can be resolved. Accordingly, the parties jointly request
that the current stay of proceedings be extended for an additional 30 days.
