CONFERENCE; MASTER FILE NO. 06-07185-PJH 

-1- 

WHEREAS, the Initial Case Management Conference (the “Conference”) is currently 

scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on March 1, 2007; 

WHEREAS, on February 8, 2007, the parties filed a Joint Case Management Conference 

Statement and [Proposed] Order (the “Statement”); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Court’s Order dated January 3, 2007, Lead Plaintiff 

presently is obligated to file a Consolidated Complaint on or before April 3, 2007 and 

Defendants are not obligated to respond to the current complaint; 

WHEREAS, and the parties agree that any such Complaint would be subject to further 

amendment, once Autodesk completes its internal review of its historical stock option granting 

practices, makes any resulting financial disclosures, and issues any related public filings and/or 

amends or restates any existing filings; 

WHEREAS, in light of the current procedural posture of this matter, and as the Statement 

reflects, the parties believe that it would be premature to discuss discovery and other case 

management issues at this time and, therefore, the interests of judicial economy are better served 

by postponing the Conference until after Lead Plaintiff has filed his Amended Complaint and 

Defendants have responded to that complaint; 

WHEREAS, as of February 8, 2007, the parties determined from review of the Court’s 

calendar, on advice of the Court’s Calendar Clerk, that the Court would be available for a 

Conference at 2:30 p.m. on June 28, 2007; and 

WHEREAS, the parties request the Court to enter separately the [Proposed] Order 

accompanying the Statement as the Court’s Case Management Order without holding the 

conference presently scheduled for March 1, 2007; 

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED AND AGREED by Lead Plaintiff and Defendants, 

through their respective counsel of record, that: 

The Initial Case Management Conference scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on March 1, 2007 

shall be taken off the calendar and rescheduled for 2:30 p.m. on June 28, 2007;
