`..................................... - - X
`
`IT iS HEREBY STIPULATED AND CONSENTED AS FOLLOWS:
`
`l.
`
`The undersigned counsel respectfully request, on consent, (i) the substitution of
`
`counsel for Plaintiifs in the above entitled action as set forth in paragraph 3, below, and (ii) that
`
`this Court So Order this Stipulation And Consent Order Of Substitution Of Counsel For
`
`Plaintiffs.
`
`2,
`
`The reason for these requests is that lead trial counsel for Plaintiffs, as well as
`
`other attorneys of record representing Plaintiffs in this action, are no longer members of or
`
`associated with the outgoing firm and are now members of or associated with the incoming firm.
`
`In light of the fact that the attorneys representing Plaintiffs will largely remain the same, albeit
`
`now at a different law firm, the undersigned do not believe that the proposed substitution will
`
`cause any undue delay or in any way prejudice any party in this action.

`PC, with offices at 666 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 and 1 Financial Center, Boston,
