STIPULATION AND ORDER SETTING DIRECT FILING OF CASES IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSES OF PRETRIAL PROCEEDINGS: IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the parties and their respective counsel as follows: 1. Plaintiffs who file a Direct Filed Case are required to designate for each such case the original venue in which the case would have been filed but for the direct filing procedure (the "Designated Forum"). 2. Each Direct Filed Case filed in accordance with the direct filing procedure will be deemed to have been originally filed in the Designated Forum. 3. For any Direct Filed Case that meets the conditions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, Defendants will not object that the Southern District of New York is an improper venue for such Case. 4. Upon completion of all pretrial proceedings applicable to a Direct Filed Case, this Court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), may transfer that case to the Designated Forum, after considering the recommendations of the parties to that case. 5. Except for an objection that the Southern District of New York is an improper venue for a Direct Filed Case, all other rights, arguments and defenses of Defendants are preserved and not waived, including, but not limited to, whether the Designated Forum is an improper venue and whether a Defendant is subject to personal jurisdiction in the Designated Forum. 6. Any plaintiff filing a Direct Filed Case who objects to any part of this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order shall have 10 days from the date that its case is filed to file a notice of motion with the Court to bring on a motion asserting such objection, and setting forth the basis for objection.

CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER: The civil actions listed on Schedule A are consolidated for pretrial purposes. Any "tag-along" actions later removed to or transferred to this Court, or directly filed in the Southern District of New York, will automatically be consolidated with this action without the necessity of future motions or orders. This consolidation, however, does not constitute a determination that the actions should be consolidated for trial, nor does it have the effect of making any entity a party to any action in which he, she, or it has not been named, served, or added in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the Court's view, a master case file limited to filings of significance to the MDL as a whole or a substantial number of member cases would be advantageous. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to open a master case file bearing docket number 16-MC-2673. Any filing fees associated with opening the master case file docket are waived. The caption shall read "In re: Treasury Securities Auction Antitrust Litigation." For administrative purposes only, in 16-MC-2673, Plaintiffs shall be listed as "Treasury Securities Auction Antitrust MDL Plaintiffs," and Defendants shall be listed as "Treasury Securities Auction Antitrust MDL Defendants." There will be no appearances entered unless and until the Court orders otherwise. The Court will transfer any and all relevant documents filed in 15-MD-2673 to 15-MD-2673. This Order and all subsequent entries docketed in 16-MC-2543 are to be docketed simultaneously in 15-MD-2673. The Clerk of the Court is directed to Transfer Docket No. 1 (Transfer Order) from 15-MD-2673 to 16-MC-2673. The Court will conduct an Initial Conference on Monday, August 22, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom 705 at the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York. Counsel shall check in with the Courtroom Deputy at least fifteen minutes in advance. This Order vacates any case management or scheduling order issued by a court prior to the transfer of a case to 15-MD-2673. Pending the Initial Conference and further orders of this Court, all deadlines in this action (except those set forth herein), including Defendants' time to respond to any of the complaints and all discovery deadlines, are stayed. This Order does not, however, preclude the provision of voluntary discovery by any party. Any and all pending motions in the transferor courts are denied without prejudice, and will be adjudicated under the procedures set forth in this Order and subsequent orders issued by this Court. (As further set forth in this Order) Initial Conference set for 8/22/2016 at 10:30 AM in Courtroom 705, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Paul G. Gardephe. (Signed by Judge Paul G.
