-1- 2702788_1.DOC

WHEREAS this Court has ordered the following shareholder derivative cases be related to 

the first filed securities case Smajlaj v. Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., et al. C-05-02042

CRB:

Case Name Case No. Date Action Filed

 Knee v. Reyes, et al. C 05-02233 CRB June 1, 2005 

 Galluscio v. Reyes, et al. C 05-02235 CRB June 2, 2005 

 Pratt v. Reyes, et al. C 05-02372 CRB June 10, 2005 

 Jha v. Reyes, et al. C 05-2652 MJJ June 28, 2005 

WHEREAS, the Court entered an Order dated June 29, 2005, setting a Case Management 

Conference for August 19, 2005; 

WHEREAS, because these four substantially similar derivative actions are not yet 

consolidated and the Court has not selected Lead Counsel, the parties believe postponing the Case 

Management Conference until after the selection of Lead Counsel would promote efficiency; 

WHEREAS, the Court has already postponed the Case Management Conference in the 

Pratt and Jha actions; 

WHEREAS, the parties anticipate a Consolidated Amended Complaint will be filed after 

the selection of Lead Counsel; 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties to this stipulation agree, and the Court hereby Orders, as 

follows: 

1. The Case Management Conference scheduled for August 19, 2005 is postponed 

and will be rescheduled after the selection of Lead Counsel in these derivative 

actions. 

2. Defendants are not obligated to respond to any of the currently filed derivative 

action complaints and shall respond only to a Consolidated Amended Complaint.
