Case No. C 07-04161 WHA

-2- STIPULATION RE PENDING 

ACTIONS AND CASE SCHEDULE

Riverbed Technology, Inc. ("Riverbed"), Quantum Corporation ("Quantum"), A.C.N. 120 

786 012 Pty. Ltd. ("A.C.N. 120"), and Rocksoft Limited ("Rocksoft") (collectively "the Parties") 

respectfully request that the Court enter the following stipulation regarding (1) Pending Actions 

Between Riverbed, Quantum, A.C.N. 120 and Rocksoft, and (2) Modifications To The Court's 

Case Management Schedule And Claim Construction Schedule. In light of this Court's opinion 

that U.S. Patent No. 5,990,810 and U.S. Patent No. 7,116,249 should be part of the same action 

and Judge Robinson's decision to transfer the Delaware declaratory judgment action involving the 

'810 patent to the Northern District of California, the parties have met and conferred and have 

reached agreement regarding the four separate actions currently pending between them and 

modifications to the case schedule that are required to put the '810 and '249 claims back on the 

same schedule before this Court. The modified schedule generally extends the current dates 

(including dates that became moot due to the dismissal of the '810 patent) by two months.

The Parties, through their respective counsel of record, AGREE TO AND HEREBY 

STIPULATE as follows:

PENDING ACTIONS

(1) Quantum Corporation v. Riverbed Technology, Inc. (Case No. C 07-4161 WHA)

and Riverbed Technology, Inc. v. Quantum Corporation, A.C.N. 120 786 012 Pty. Ltd., and 

Rocksoft Limited (Case No. 08-0016 SLR): The parties agree that Case No. C 07-4161 pending 

before this Court, which involves claims patent infringement and declaratory judgment claims 

relating to the '249 patent, and Case No. 08-0016 recently transferred to this Court from the 

District of Delaware, which involves declaratory judgment claims relating to the '810 patent, shall 

be consolidated and assigned to Judge Alsup. The parties also agree that Case No 08-0016 is 

related to Case No 07-4162. Quantum's motion for leave to add the '810 patent in Case No. C 07-

4161 shall be granted with respect to the '810 patent and is withdrawn with respect to the '164 

patent. Quantum shall be allowed to amend its counterclaim in Case No. 07-4161 to add 

infringement claims for the '810 patent within five calendar days of the date of the Court's order on 

this stipulation;
