On January 5, 2010, Defendants Marconi plc, Marconi Communications, and Telent plc 

(collectively “Defendants”) filed a motion to recover their attorneys’ fees pursuant to the 

Employee Separation Agreement and General Release executed between Plaintiff John Osanitsch 

(“Osanitsch”) and Defendants. On January 15, 2010, Osanitsch and Defendants, collectively, 

filed a stipulation to continue the hearing date on Defendants’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees from 

February 12, 2010 to March 12, 2010. On January 22, 2010, this Court granted the Stipulation 

between Osanitsch and Defendants. On March 11, 2010, Osanitsch and Defendants filed a

second stipulation to further continue the hearing on Defendants’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees in 

order to discuss and finalize settlement of this matter. On March 11, 2010, this Court granted 

Defendants’ stipulation to move the hearing date from March 12, 2010 to April 9, 2010. On 

April 8, 2010, Osanitsch and Defendants filed a third stipulation to further continue the hearing 

on Defendants’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees in order to discuss and finalize settlement of this 

matter. On April 9, 2010, this Court granted Defendants’ stipulation to move the hearing date 

from April 9, 2010 to April 30, 2010.

After this Court granted the Stipulation, the parties have continued to discuss settlement 

of this action. Osanitsch and Defendants have exchanged drafts of a settlement agreement. 

Further, the parties have agreed on the form and content of the final settlement agreement. The 

parties are very close to finalizing a settlement agreement, but need additional time to execute 

the necessary documents to finalize settlement and dismiss this action. In order to reach final 

settlement of this action, the parties have agreed, and hereby stipulate, to continue the hearing 

date on Defendants’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees. Accordingly, Osanitsch and Defendants 

stipulate and agree to continue the hearing date on Defendants’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees from 

April 30, 2010 to May 28, 2010, or as soon thereafter as the Court finds convenient.
