STIPULATED MOTION TO STAY THE CASE 

Plaintiff Finisar Corporation (“Finisar”) and Defendant Kaiam Corporation (“Kaiam”), by 

and through their respective counsel of record hereby stipulate and request that the Court enter an 

order staying the instant litigation. In support of this request, the parties state as follows: 

WHEREAS, it has been publicly announced that Kaiam is facing financial difficulties 

which has led to layoffs of Kaiam employees, the appointment of administrators to manage 

Kaiam’s European operations, and the contemplation of potential insolvency proceedings in the 

United States; 

WHEREAS, Kaiam’s CEO has been quoted in a January 3, 2019 article stating that “The 

odds are that we [Kaiam] will also go into some sort of insolvency process in the U.S. as well.” 

WHEREAS, Kaiam’s financial situation could directly impact the instant litigation; 

WHEREAS, in light of these recent developments, the parties believe it is prudent to 

conserve judicial resources and the parties’ resources until Kaiam’s financial situation becomes 

clearer; 

WHEREAS, as a result of discussions between the parties, Finisar and Kaiam have agreed 

to jointly request that the Court stay the instant litigation in light of the uncertainty concerning 

Kaiam’s financial situation; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Kaiam, Chad J. Peterman, has submitted a supporting declaration 

with this stipulation; 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, Kaiam and Finisar by and through 

their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and request that the Court order the following: 

1) The instant case is hereby stayed; and 

2) The parties are directed to file a joint update with the Court concerning whether it is 

appropriate to lift the stay by February 22, 2019. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
