CASE NO. C 03-05755 JSW 

STIPULATION AND ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiff and counterclaim defendant Negotiated Data Solutions LLC (“N-Data”) and 

defendant and counterclaimant Dell, Inc. (“Dell”) stipulate as follows: 

1. The operative complaint in this action alleged Dell’s infringement of U.S. Patent 

No. 5,617,418 (“the '418 patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 5,687,174 (“the '174 patent”). Each patent 

was the subject of reissue proceedings, which are now complete. 

2. The '418 patent reissued on June 6, 2006 as U.S. Patent RE39,116. The '174 

patent reissued on November 21, 2006 as U.S. Patent RE39,405. 

3. As a result of the reissue proceedings, the operative complaint no longer identifies 

the patents-in-suit. N-Data believes that amendment should follow the completion of the third 

party discussions, previously reported to the Court, to reduce the chance that further amendment 

of the complaint will be required. Dell disagrees and submits that this case is old and should 

move forward, and Dell states that it would move to dismiss the action absent amendment now. 

4. In light of the foregoing, and subject to the Court’s order, N-Data and Dell 

stipulate that N-Data shall file its First Amended Complaint in the form attached as Exhibit A 

provided that the Court enters an order approving this stipulation. 

5. The parties further stipulate that Dell shall file its response to the First Amended 

Complaint on or before October 22, 2007. N-Data shall file its response to any counterclaim filed 

by Dell on or before November 1, 2007.
