WHEREAS, prior to August 6, 2002, Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., Takeda Vitamin Food USA, Inc., and Takeda U.S.A., Inc. ("Takeda defendants") filed a motion for partial summary judgment dismissing plaintiffs' all-vitamins conspiracy claim, any claim that Takeda participated in any conspiracies involving vitamins that it did not manufacture, and any claim that Takeda participated in any conspiracies extending beyond 1995.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Court's August 7, 2002 Order, plaintiffs' responses to this motion, including their response to the statement of undisputed material facts in support of Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., Takeda Vitamin Food USA, Inc., and Takeda U.S.A., Inc.'s motion for partial summary judgment dismissing plaintiffs' all-vitamins conspiracy claim, any claim that Takeda participated in any conspiracies involving vitamins that it did not manufacture, and any claim that Takeda participated in any conspiracies extending beyond 1995, were due on September 9, 2002;

WHEREAS, although the plaintiffs filed an opposition to the Takeda defendants motion for partial summary judgment on September 9, 2002, the plaintiffs did not file a response to the Takeda defendants' statement of undisputed material facts in support of the motion on September 9, 2002;

IT IS HEREBY stipulated and agreed by the undersigned that the time for plaintiffs to respond to the statement of undisputed material facts in support of the Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., Takeda Vitamin Food USA, Inc., and Takeda U.S.A., Inc.'s motion for partial summary judgment dismissing plaintiffs' all-vitamins conspiracy claim, any claim that Takeda participated in any conspiracies involving vitamins that it did not manufacture, and any claim that Takeda participated in any conspiracies extending beyond 1995 be extended from September 9, 2002 to September 13, 2002 and that the time for the Takeda defendants' reply briefs be extended from September 30, 2002 to October 4, 2002.
