TO THE COURT AND ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

(“Onyx”) and defendants Bayer Corporation, Bayer AG, Bayer HealthCare LLC and Bayer 

Schering Pharma AG (collectively, “Bayer”) as follows:

WHEREAS, the Stipulation and Order Selecting ADR Process filed August 11, 2009,

provides that mediation shall be completed by February 26, 2010;

WHEREAS, the parties had been scheduled to conduct mediation before Anthony Piazza 

in San Francisco on January 19, 2010;

WHEREAS, Hans Bishop, the former President of Hematology/Cardiology and 

Executive Vice President of Bayer HealthCare LLC, was scheduled to be Bayer’s lead negotiator 

at the mediation, but unexpectedly resigned from Bayer in December 2009;

WHEREAS, the parties had anticipated that the documents most relevant to the merits of 

this litigation would be produced by the end of December 2009;

WHEREAS, the parties have been producing documents on a rolling basis and continue 

to produce documents as quickly as possible, but now anticipate that the documents most 

relevant to the merits of this litigation will not be produced until early in 2010. To date, Bayer 

and Onyx have produced approximately 103,000 and 44,000 pages of documents, respectively;

WHEREAS, additional time is needed to afford Bayer time to identify a new lead 

negotiator and to prepare that individual for the mediation;

WHEREAS, additional time is needed to allow the parties to complete production of the 

documents most relevant to the merits of the litigation — and to review the other side’s 

production of such documents — to allow the parties to make more informed decisions regarding 

the mediation, making the mediation more productive;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to reschedule the mediation to May 13, 2010;

WHEREAS, in the hope that the Court would accommodate this request, the parties have 

already reserved that date to mediate with Mr. Piazza;

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING MEDIATION DEADLINE AND RESCHEDULING STATUS CONFERENCE CASE NO. CV 09 2145 MHP 3

sf-2785575

WHEREAS, at the August 31, 2009 Initial Case Management Conference, the Court 

ordered the parties to attend a further status conference on March 8, 2010 — the second Monday 

following the original February 26, 2010 mediation cut-off date; and

WHEREAS, if the Court accommodates the parties’ requested change in the mediation 

date, the parties agree that it would be most productive to reschedule the status conference to a 

date shortly after the new mediation date;

THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and agree, by and through counsel, to the 

entry of an order as follows:

1. The mediation, previously scheduled for January 19, 2010, will take place on 

May 13, 2010; 

2. The Order Selecting ADR Process is amended to reflect a new ADR deadline of 

May 13, 2010;

3. The post-mediation Status Conference, currently scheduled for March 8, 2010, is 

hereby rescheduled to May 17, 2010 at 3:00 p.m., or at the Court’s first convenient time thereafter.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
