and agree to an extension to Tuesday, June 6, 2006, for Plaintiffs' to file their Responses to the Motions for Summary Judgment on Fiduciary Duty and Other Remaining Claims filed by the GTCR Defendants and Defendant Michael Makings. This is the third request to extend this deadline. The additional time is necessitated by the number and complexity of the claims which are the subject of said motions, the sizable record in the case (over 40 witnesses deposed, over 500,000 pages of documents produced), and the fact that one of the associates responsible for working on the LeapSource matter has left the firm of Beus Gilbert. This request is not made for purposes of delay, but to enable the parties to

move the Court to enter the attached order granting such extension. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 24th day of May 2006. By: /s Steven Weinberger Steven Weinberger BEUS GILBERT PLLC 4800 N.
