STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

 C-07-0955-JF 

WHEREAS, on June 25, 2007, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint (the 

“Complaint”) in this consolidated shareholder derivative action; 

WHEREAS, on October 18, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order to 

extend the defendants’ deadline to respond to the Complaint and related briefing schedule in light 

of a mediation that was scheduled to take place on December 6, 2007; 

WHEREAS, by Order entered October 19, 2007, the Court continued defendants’ 

deadline to respond to the Complaint from November 9, 2007 to January 18, 2008; 

WHEREAS, the Special Litigation Committee of Coherent, Inc. (the “Special Litigation 

Committee”), which is currently conducting an investigation regarding the allegations of the 

Complaint, was recently and unexpectedly informed by the mediator with whom the mediation 

had previously been scheduled for December 6, 2007, that he has been ordered by a federal 

district judge in another matter to conduct a mediation proceeding on that date, and that due to his 

full schedule would be unable to reschedule the mediation in this matter within the next few 

months; 

WHEREAS, based upon the cancellation of the December 6, 2007 mediation date, the 

mediation has been rescheduled to take place on January 9, 2008 with a new mediator, the Hon. 

Howard Wiener (ret.); 

WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the parties have agreed, subject to Court approval, 

to continue the date for defendants’ deadline to respond to the Complaint in order to facilitate 

settlement discussions; 

WHEREAS, the agreed upon schedule is not for the purpose of delay, promotes judicial 

efficiency, and will not cause prejudice to any party; 

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by plaintiffs, defendants and the 

Special Litigation Committee, through their undersigned counsel, subject to approval of the 

Court, as follows: 

1. Defendants’ deadline to respond to the Complaint is continued from January 18, 

2008 to February 22, 2008.
