10342279.1.LITIGATION 1/17/2006 

STIPULATION 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Counterclaim Defendant KLA-Tencor Corporation (“KLA”) 

desires to file the attached First Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Defendant and Counterclaimant Nanometrics Inc. (“Nanometrics”) 

strenuously objects to the allegations and assertions therein, and believes the First Amended 

Complaint to be nothing more than an attempt to overwhelm a smaller competitor with 249 

additional patent claims (although KLA has again refused to identify the asserted claims to 

Nanometrics) that have no merit and lack evidentiary support; 

WHEREAS, KLA believes that its allegations accurately describe what has occurred, and 

believes that Nanometrics’s denial of those allegations is groundless; 

WHEREAS, however because the Court has set a deadline of February 1, 2006, for KLA 

to file an amended Complaint to add new patents, and Nanometrics does not object to KLA filing 

an amended complaint before that deadline from a purely procedural standpoint; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, with the Court’s permission, that KLA may file its First 

Amended Complaint, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
