MOUNTAI N VIEW

WHEREAS the above-referenced Plaintiffs filed the above-captioned case; 

WHEREAS 26 other complaints have been filed to-date in federal district courts 

throughout the United States by Plaintiffs purporting to bring consumer class actions on behalf of 

purchasers of computers manufactured by Defendant Lenovo (United States), Inc. (“Lenovo”) 

containing software manufactured by Defendant Superfish, Inc. (“Superfish”) (collectively, 

including the above-captioned matter, the “In re Lenovo Adware Litig. cases”); 

WHEREAS a motion is pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation 

(“JPML”) to transfer the In re Lenovo Adware Litig. cases for coordinated and consolidated 

pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1407 (“MDL Motion”), and has not yet been set 

for hearing before the JPML;

WHEREAS the next JPML hearing session is scheduled for May 28, 2015; 

WHEREAS the parties anticipate that one or more consolidated complaints will be filed 

following transfer and consolidation of the In re Lenovo Adware Litig. cases; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Defendants Superfish and Lenovo have agreed that an orderly

schedule for any response to the pleadings in the In re Lenovo Adware Litig. cases would be more 

efficient for the parties and for the Court; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs agree that the deadline for Defendants Superfish and Lenovo to 

answer, move, or otherwise respond to their complaint shall be extended until forty-five days 

after the JPML issues an order deciding the MDL Motion, or as otherwise ordered by the MDL 

transferee Court if the MDL Motion is granted; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Defendants agree that preservation of evidence in the case is 

vital, that Defendants have received litigation hold letters, that they are complying with and will 

continue to comply with all of their evidence preservation obligations under governing law;

WHEREAS this Stipulation does not constitute a waiver by the parties of any of their 

respective claims, defenses or any other rights or positions they may have with respect to the 

same, including, with respect to Defendants, the defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, lack of

subject matter jurisdiction, improper venue, sufficiency of process or service of process; 

Now, therefore, pursuant to Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiffs and Defendants, by and through
