Plaintiffs and Counterclaim-Defendants, Medtronic Vascular, Inc., Medtronic USA, Inc.,

Medtronic, Inc., and Medtronic Vascular Galway, Ltd. ("Plaintiffs"), and Defendants and

Counterclaim-Plaintiffs, Abbott Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, and Abbott

Vascular, Inc. ("Defendants") have agreed and stipulate as follows, subject to approval by the

Court:

1. In the Order dated April 24, 2008 (Docket No. 356), the Court instructed the

parties to meet and confer regarding a possible agreement and resolution of Plaintiffs' motion for

a protective order relating to communications with Dr. Ulrich Sigwart. The Court instructed the

parties to meet and confer and to submit a joint letter regarding this issue no later than May 9,

2008. The parties have met and conferred in good faith and need additional time to discuss the

issue further as an agreement has not yet been reached. In light of a pressing May 9, 2008, fact

discovery deadline, and a May 21, 2008, due date for expert reports, the parties jointly request a

two week extension of time so that they may continue to meet and confer regarding this matter.

Accordingly, the parties seek an order permitting the joint letter to be submitted on or before

May 23, 2008.
