AND BRIEFING SCHEDULE ; CASE NO: C-04-03923 MMC (JCS) 11770380.1.BUS

WHEREAS, the parties agree in light of the foregoing, that it would be preferable to 

delay briefing on the parties' upcoming summary judgment motions until additional depositions 

and other discovery have been completed before the November 10, 2005 discovery cut-off date,

and to consolidate the hearing on these motions with the previous motions filed by the parties,

and

WHEREAS, Synopsys believes resolution of the upcoming summary judgment motions 

may address the concerns raised by the Court in footnote 2 of the Order Granting Synopsys’ 

Temporary Restraining Order relating to the pretrial adjudication of ownership issues,

THEREFORE, Synopsys and Magma hereby stipulate as follows:

1. The hearings on Synopsys' Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Motion for

Under Estoppel by Contract shall be continued to December 2, 2005, subject to modification by 

the Court as necessary to accommodate its schedule.

2. The oppositions to Synopsys' revised brief on its Motion for Preliminary 

Injunction and Motion for Partial Summary Judgment to Dismiss Magma’s Counterclaims and 

Affirmative Defenses Under Estoppel by Contract shall be filed and served on or before 

September 30, 2005, as currently scheduled by the Court’s August 29, 2005 Order.

3. The replies in support of the Motion for Preliminary InjunctionMotion for 

Partial Summary Judgment to Dismiss Magma’s Counterclaims and Affirmative Defenses 

Under Estoppel by Contract shall be filed and served on or before November 23, 2005.

4. The Temporary Restraining Order issued by the Court on August 30, 2005, and 

all the limitations and restrictions contained therein, shall remain in full effect until December 2, 

2005. If the Court does not hear or rule on Synopsys’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction on or 

before December 2, 2005, Synopsys does not waive and expressly preserves its right to bring a 

motion requesting a further Temporary Restraining Order.

5. Synopsys will not argue that by agreeing to extend the term of the Temporary 

Restraining Order pursuant to the proposed revised briefing and hearing schedule on Synopsys’ 

Motion for Preliminary Injunction Magma has in any way conceded the propriety of the
