steps to assure settlement once reached will be effected;

WHEREAS, respective counsel for the parties have been and continue to be in frequent 

contact to attempt to resolve the differences between the parties;

WHEREAS, the parties, mindful of this Court’s interest in having this case resolved, and 

confident of the parties’ ability to resolve this highly complex matter, are diligently working to 

finalize the settlement agreement. However, given the complicated nature of the one remaining 

intellectual property issue and due to the continuing time-zone and communication, multi-lingual 

and multi-cultural challenges faced by counsel for Defendants, the parties require a small amount of 

additional time;

WHEREAS, counsel for the parties believe that an additional fifteen (15) day suspension of 

applicable deadlines in this case will allow the parties and counsel to continue to devote their full 

attention and resources to a final resolution of this matter; 

WHEREAS, the agreed upon extension of the fact and expert discovery deadlines, and 

dispositive motion deadlines is not for the purpose of delay, and the parties believe that this 

reasonable extension of time may well obviate the need for trial in this matter, and is in the interests 

of fairness and judicial economy. 

ACCORDINGLY, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, HEREBY 

STIPULATE as follows:

In order to avoid prejudicing the parties’ discovery efforts and trial preparations, and to 

allow the parties to focus on settlement negotiations, the parties agree and respectfully request that 

the current pre-trial schedule be modified as follows:

1. The fact discovery cut-off, which is currently set for March 9, 2010, is extended to 

March 24, 2010;

2. The deadline to designate experts, which is currently set for April 15, 2010, is 

extended to April 30, 2010;

3. The deadline to designate rebuttal experts, which is currently set for May 11, 2010, is 

extended to May 26, 2010; and
