STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

STAYING CASES UNTIL JUNE 4, 2010 

NetApp, Inc. and Sun Microsystems, Inc. hereby stipulate, subject to the Court’s approval, 

to a stay of all three of the currently pending actions between the parties (3:07-CV-05488-EDL, 

3:07-CV-06053-EDL, and 3:08-CV-01641-EDL) until June 4, 2010 to permit the parties to 

explore the possibility of an extra-judicial resolution of their disputes. All currently scheduled 

hearings and deadlines are vacated, subject to Court approval. The parties agree that neither side 

will use this stay to later argue lack of diligence on the part of the other party. 

By June 9, 2010, the parties shall jointly report to the Court on the status of their 

discussions, the litigation, and next steps. The parties request that the Court now schedule an
