 WHEREAS the Court issued an Order Modifying the Scheduling Conference 

Order on January 27, 2006; 

 WHEREAS the parties wish to conduct additional discovery, including, but not 

limited to, oral depositions of both parties and non-parties; 

 WHEREAS, as part of the January 27, 2006, Order Modifying the Scheduling 

Conference Order, Foster agreed to take several non-party depositions off-calendar; 

 WHEREAS Foster has had difficulty rescheduling the non-party depositions, 

due to scheduling issues between the non-parties and counsel for the parties, and the fact that 

several depositions are scheduled to be conducted outside California; 

 WHEREAS the current deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses is April 20, 

2006; 

 WHEREAS the parties believe that additional discovery is needed in order for 

the parties’ experts to adequately prepare their expert reports; 

 WHEREAS, due to the above issues, the parties do not believe they will be able 

to complete sufficient discovery in order to enable their potential expert witnesses to 

adequately prepare their expert reports prior to the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses; 

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Unilever and Foster, through 

their respective counsel, that the following discovery dates be revised from the Court’s January 

27, 2006, Order Modifying the Scheduling Conference Order to the following dates:
