IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their 

respective attorneys of record to request that the Claim Construction Tutorial and Claim 

Construction Hearing be moved from May 29 and 31, 2007 to June 26 and 28, 2007 (or the 

Court’s first available date thereafter) respectively. As set forth below, the parties also 

request that the corresponding Claim Construction Briefing be moved accordingly. 

1. Reasons for Requested Time Changes 

Lead trial counsel and all necessary witnesses will be unavailable during the last 

week in May 2007 for the Claim Construction Tutorial and Hearing in this case. Counsel 

for Azul and Sun agree to the changes noted in Section 3 below. The parties respectfully 

request that the Court enter this Stipulation per Local Rule 6-2 re Proposed Request for 

Order Changing Time to accommodate this scheduling conflict. 

2. Previous Time Modifications in the Case 

On October 30, 2006, the parties stipulated to, and Judge Breyer approved, 

modifying the filing dates for the parties’ Claim Construction Briefs for the Six Patents1

and related statements and discovery, while maintaining the Court’s Construction Hearing 

date.2

 On January 17, 2007, Judge Breyer modified the claim construction schedule and 

claim construction hearing for the Six Patents so that the Court could decide Sun’s Motion 

to Amend prior to the due date for the claim construction briefs. On February 12, 2007, 

Judge Breyer granted Sun’s Motion to Modify the Case Schedule to Consolidate Claim 

Construction Briefing and Coordinate Related Dates. 

3. Proposed Time Modifications and Effect on the Schedule 

 1

 U.S. Patent Nos. 6,003,065; 6,823,351 6,862,664; 6,901,491; 6,938,130; and 

7,013,454 issued to Sun. 

2

 Additionally, there was a change in the briefing schedule for Azul’s Motion to 

Remove Confidential designation from Sun’s Section 2019 Statement. On November 22, 

2006, Judge Joseph C. Spero approved a change in the schedule for Sun’s opposition to 

Azul’s reply briefs. The hearing date remained unchanged.
