STIPULATED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND ANSWER 

Defendant VMware, Inc. (“VMware”) hereby respectfully requests, pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 15, and with the assent of Plaintiff Phoenix Technologies Ltd. 

(“Plaintiff”), that VMware be allowed to amend its Answer. VMware’s Amended Answer is 

attached herein as Exhibit A. As grounds for this request, VMware states as follows: 

1. The parties have met and conferred and agreed that VMware would add two 

affirmative defenses: (1) language from Paragraph 2.4 of the 2005 Amendment, and 

(2) 17 U.S.C. Section 117; 

2. This is the first request to amend the answer, and is not being made for purposes of 

delay or for any other improper purpose; 

3. Plaintiff, through its counsel, has agreed to the request for leave to amend 

VMware’s answer based on the representation that the amendment will include only the revisions 

noted above. 

WHEREFORE, VMware requests that the Court grant its motion for leave to amend its 

answer.
