Michael Nakhimovsky, and Benjamin Savin (collectively, “Plaintiffs”); nominal defendant Altera 

Corporation and individual defendants John P. Daane, Robert W. Reed, Robert J. Finocchio, Jr., Kevin McGarity, Paul Newhagen, William E. Terry, Susan Wang, Denis M. Berlan, Nathan M. 

Sarkisian, Katherine E. Schuelke, Charles Clough, Deborah Rieman, Michael J. Ellison, John R.

Fitzhenry, Clive McCarthy, Peter Smyth, and C. Wendell Bergere (collectively, “Defendants”)1

submit this Joint Status Report in accordance with the Court’s Order of June 21, 2007, and hereby 

stipulate as follows:

1. By the Court’s Order of June 21, 2007, this action and all related proceedings were 

suspended up to and including July 20, 2007, to give the parties additional time to discuss the 

resolution of this action. The Court’s Order also required the parties to file a joint status report 

with the Court on July 16, 2007.

2. Since the parties’ previous stipulation and joint status report filed with the Court 

on June 18, 2007, counsel for the parties have continued to discuss ways to resolve this dispute 

without further Court involvement.

3. To facilitate these continued discussions and conserve the resources of the Court 

and parties, the parties agree to continue the suspension of this action and all related proceedings 

up to and including August 10, 2007. 

4. If this matter is not resolved in the intervening period, the parties shall set a 

deadline for Defendants to Answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ Consolidated Complaint. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the 

Plaintiffs and the Defendants, through their undersigned counsel of record, that:

A. This action and all related proceedings are further suspended up to and including 

August 10, 2007.

 1

 Defendant Michael Jacobs is not a party to this stipulation because he has not yet been 

served with the operative complaint and he has not yet otherwise made an appearance in this 

action. Defendant Rodney Smith is no longer a party to this action because he passed away on 

May 25, 2007.
