(2) Pursuant to a stipulation between all of the parties, without notice or hearing, extend the period; or

(3) Upon motion after the expiration of the specified period, permit the act to be done where the failure to act is clearly shown to be the result of excusable neglect; but may not extend the time for taking any action on jurisdictional matters,
