WHEREAS the Court adopted the parties' proposed further case

management schedule in its October 11, 2006 Further Case Management Order, providing

for, inter alia, a deadline of December 22, 2006 for all parties to complete non-expert

depositions, and a trial date of April 30, 2007;

WHEREAS to male the most efficient use of the time leading up to trial, the

parties have met and conferred and agreed to the revised case management schedule set

forth below, subject to the Court's approval and availability;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to Northern District Civil Local Rules 6-2(a)

and 16-2(e), the parties hereby stipulate and agree to the following case management

schedule: `

1. This schedule concerns only (a) the acquisitions of the McClatchy

newspapers that were the subject of the Court's Order Denying Plaintiffs

Application for Temporary Restraining Order; and (b) Hearst's proposed

equity investment in MediaNews Group's non-Bay Area properties.

2. This schedule does not concern any potential future broadening of Hearst's

proposed equity investment in MediaNews Group pursuant to equity

conversion provisions or otherwise: Hearst and MediaNews Group expect

that any such transaction, if it were to occur, would be the subject of future

antitrust Hart-Scott-Rodino Act regulatory filings. If such a transaction

occurs, and plaintiff elects to challenge it, the parties would propose an

appropriate schedule at that time.

3. The deadline for all parties to produce documents in response to non-expert

written discovery was November 30, 2006.

4. The deadline for all parties to complete non-expert depositions shall be

January 26, 2007.

5. The deadline for Plaintiff to file his expert report(s) shall be

March 2, 2007.
