time to adequately respond to all of plaintiffs arguments in this complex securities litigation,

For the reasons set forth above, defendants respectfully request that this Court grant an
extension to and including January 16, 2004 in which defendants may tile their reply
memorandum supporting Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Amended Class Action
