STIPULATION AND [Proposed] ORDER GRANTING ADOBE LUMBER LEAVE TO

FILE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT -- Case No. 2:05-CV-01510-WBS-PAN

B. The Court’s Memorandum and Order Re: Motion to Dismiss, dated 

January 3, 2006 (the “Order”), granted certain defendants’ motion to dismiss the Ninth, Tenth and 

Eleventh Claims in the FAC as time-barred, and gave Adobe 30 days from the date of the Order to 

file an amended complaint consistent therewith; 

C. Adobe has prepared amendments to its FAC in conformance with the Order, 

and no further order or leave of court is required for Adobe to file such amendments (the 

“Amendments by Order”); 

D. Adobe has also prepared proposed amendments to its FAC that are 

additional to the Amendments by Order (the “Additional Amendments”); 

E. Adobe has prepared a proposed Second Amended Complaint for Cleanup 

Order Under RCRA; Contribution and Declaratory Relief Under CERCLA; Contribution and 

Indemnity Under the California Hazardous Substances Account Act; Nuisance; Trespass; Strict 

Product Liability; Negligence; and Negligence Per Se (the “SAC”); 

F. A copy of the SAC is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and a redlined copy of 

the SAC showing the proposed changes to the FAC is attached hereto as Exhibit B; 

G. All amendments to Adobe’s FAC set forth in the proposed SAC are 

Amendments by Order except for amendments to the following paragraphs of the SAC: ¶ 13 

(new), ¶ 14, ¶ 17, ¶ 24 (deleted), ¶ 27(d), ¶ 58, headings -- Sixth, Seventh and Eighth claims for 

relief, ¶ 108 and ¶ 116, Prayer for Relief, ¶¶ 6-7; 

H. Pursuant to F.R.C.P. 15(a), Adobe must obtain leave of court or “written 

consent of the adverse party” to file the Additional Amendments; and 

I. To prevent inefficiency, the filing of multiple amendments to Adobe’s FAC, 

and the filing of an unnecessary motions, the parties hereto wish to consent to Adobe filing the 

Additional Amendments, as contained in the SAC, provided that defendants’ rights to challenge 

the SAC or any part thereof, by motion, pleading or otherwise, are preserved to the same extent as 

if the Court had granted a motion by Adobe to file the Additional Amendments.
