IRELL & MANELLA LLP 

A Registered Limited Liability 

Law Partnership Including 

Professional Corporations 

Plaintiff Immersion Corporation (“Immersion”) and Defendant Electro Source, LLC 

(“Electro Source”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. On February 3, 2005, the Court entered a Case Management Order (docket entry 

19) setting certain pretrial dates, including a schedule for the disclosure of expert reports in 

October and November 2005, the completion of expert discovery on December 16, 2005, and the 

Claim Construction Hearing and hearing on dispositive motions on February 17, 2006. 

2. On June 15, 2005, the Court sua sponte (docket entry 47) rescheduled the dates for 

the pretrial conference and trial to September 29, 2006 and October 10, 2006, respectively, to 

accommodate the Court's calendar. 

3. The Court, pursuant to an August 10, 2005 order (docket entry 66), rescheduled the 

date for filing Joint Claim Construction Statement to September 9, 2005 and extended the date for 

Claim Construction Discovery Cutoff to be the same date for fact discovery cutoff in the litigation. 

4. On November 8, 2005, the Court entered an order (docket entry 78) approving a 

stipulation of the parties to adjust certain discovery, expert disclosure, and summary judgment 

dates, largely in light of the parties' participation in extensive discovery matters in connection with 

post-judgment proceedings in the Immersion v. Sony Computer Entertainment matter, matters 

which are currently pending before the Court. 

5. As a result of the extensive discovery in the Immersion v. Sony Computer 

Entertainment matter, the intervening December holidays, and other professional commitments on 

unrelated matters, as well as other factors, the parties have been unable to conduct the depositions 

of fact witnesses who were properly subpoenaed and noticed as of the fact discovery cutoff as well 

as appropriate follow up discovery. 

6. The parties also are attempting to explore settlement and the additional time would 

facilitate discussions that may take place. 

7. In light of the foregoing, the parties have agreed, subject to the approval of the 

Court, to allow additional time to conduct such discovery and to correspondingly adjust dates in 

the Court's Case Management Order as set forth below. In selecting the dates below, the parties
