IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys”) 

and Defendant Magma Design Automation, Inc. (“Magma”) as follows:

WHEREAS, by the Court’s January 21, 2005 Pretrial Preparation Order, the deadline for 

(a) fact discovery was November 10, 2005; (b) expert reports was December 2, 2005; (c) 

rebuttal expert reports was December 23, 2005; and (d) expert discovery was January 13, 2006;

WHEREAS, the parties agreed on November 11, 2005, to allow certain depositions to go 

forward after the discovery cut-off and to defer certain discovery;

WHEREAS, the November 11, 2005 agreement provided that the parties would defer 

their requests for Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) depositions on damages-related

issues, that these witnesses would be made available sufficiently in advance of damages-related

expert reports so that the deposition testimony could be used therein, and that the parties would 

meet and confer regarding the deadline for expert reports on damages;

WHEREAS, the November 11, 2005 agreement also provided that Magma would 

produce its Chief Financial Officer, Greg Walker, for deposition in December 2005 or January 

2006;

WHEREAS, in addition to the deposition of Magma’s Rule 30(b)(6) witness on damages 

and marketing issues, Synopsys has informed Magma that it also needs to take the deposition of 

Magma’s Chief Financial Officer, Greg Walker, before serving its expert report on damages;

WHEREAS, Synopsys has raised certain deficiencies with Magma’s production of 

damages-related documents and Magma’s counsel is still investigating so as to respond to these 

concerns;

WHEREAS, both parties have agreed that they need additional time for other rebuttal 

expert reports;

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, the parties hereby stipulate as 

follows:

1. Rebuttal expert reports other than those related to damages issues will be due on 

January 20, 2006;

2. The parties will produce for deposition their respective Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses
