C.A. No. 06-63 (GMS)

STIPULATION AND ORDER IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, subject to the approval of the Court, that the time for each of the defendants AstraZeneca AB, Aktiebolaget Hassle, and AstraZeneca LP to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the Complaint in this action shall be extended through and including May 3, 2006. This extension is requested because defendants' response to the Complaint in this action is currently due on Monday, April 3, 2006. The proposed Order that the parties filed on February 15, 2006 (and revised on March 30, 2006) contemplates that this action will be consolidated with the other direct purchaser actions and that the plaintiffs will file a Consolidated Amended Complaint. The defendants thus would be not be required to answer, move or

otherwise respond to the Complaint in this action, but instead would respond solely to the Consolidated Amended Complaint. The parties request this extension of time in the event that defendants' response comes due before the Court enters an Order consolidating the cases.
