STIP. AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO FILE

4TH AMEND CLASS COMPLAINT

CASE NO. C-02-1611 PJH

WHEREAS, Quantegy asserts identical claims based on substantially identical 

factual allegations as the existing named plaintiffs; and 

WHEREAS, the amendment of the complaint does not raise any new issues 

different from those addressed in the Court’s prior ruling, dated July 20, 2005, granting in part 

Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint; 

WHEREAS, the proposed Fourth Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint 

differs from the operative Third Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint only in the 

following respects, as reflected in a redline comparison, attached hereto as Exhibit A:

 · Quantegy is added as a plaintiff to paragraphs 1, 57, 64, and 68;

 · Quantegy’s relevant factual allegations are added in paragraphs 12 through 16. 

 WHEREAS, beginning in February 2007, Plaintiffs’ Counsel sought to obtain the 

agreement of Defendants Toda Kogyo Corporation, Toda America Inc. (collectively “Toda”), and 

Titan Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (“Titan”) to agree to the amendment and filing of the Fourth 

Amended Complaint.

WHEREAS, on March 22, 2007, Defendants Toda Kogyo Corporation and Toda 

America Inc. agreed to the amendment and filing of the Fourth Amended Complaint. A copy of 

the Stipulation between Plaintiffs and Toda is attached hereto as Exhibit B;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Counsel did not seek the consent of Defendants Sakai 

Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.; Sakai Trading Co., Ltd.; Sakai Trading New York, Inc.; Ishihhara 

Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd.; ISK Americas Incorporated; ISK Magnetics, Inc.; and Ishihara Corporation 

(USA) because this action has been settled with respect to each of these Defendants.

WHEREAS, on April 3, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Order Granting Leave 

to File Fourth Amended Consolidated Class Complaint.

Plaintiffs and Defendant Titan Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (“Titan”), by and through their 

counsel of record, stipulate and agree as follows:

1. To effectuate the addition of Quantegy as a named plaintiff while saving judicial 

resources, Titan agrees that Plaintiffs may file the Fourth Amended Consolidated Class Action 

Complaint, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C;
