STIPULATION & [PROPOSED] ORDER 

C-07-0955-JF

-1- 

WHEREAS, on June 25, 2007, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint (the 

“Complaint”) in this consolidated shareholder derivative action; 

WHEREAS, Defendants’ responses to the Complaint are due to be filed on September 

14, 2007; 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Nominal Defendant Coherent, Inc. (“Coherent”) 

has formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) to investigate and evaluate the claims 

asserted in the Complaint; 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to allow additional time for the SLC to conduct its 

investigation and to allow counsel for the SLC and plaintiffs’ counsel to discuss the future course 

of the litigation; 

WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the parties have agreed, subject to Court approval, 

to continue the date for Defendants’ responses to the Complaint; 

WHEREAS, the parties further believe that rescheduling the Case Management 

Conference currently set for November 9, 2007 until the time that the Court schedules a hearing 

on the responsive pleadings is appropriate; 

WHEREAS, in light of recent developments, plaintiffs have agreed, subject to Court 

approval, to continue the date for Defendants’ responses to the Complaint; 

WHEREAS, the agreed-upon schedule is not for the purpose of delay, promotes judicial 

efficiency, and will not cause prejudice to any party; 

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by plaintiffs and defendants 

through their undersigned counsel, subject to the approval of the Court, as follows: 

1. Defendants’ deadline to respond to the Complaint is continued from September 

14, 2007 to November 9, 2007. 

2. In the event that Defendants file and serve motion(s) directed at the Complaint, 

plaintiffs shall file and serve an opposition no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of 

filing of the motion, and Defendants shall file and serve a reply no later than thirty (30) days 

from the date of filing of the opposition.
