(collectively “Invalidity Contentions”). With the Court’s permission, and noting

provided in the following table:

The requested extension of time will provide AVC and its new counsel 

additional time to prepare and complete the Invalidity Contentions. Moreover, at 

the request of Asetek, the schedule proposed above avoids having the Exchange of 

Proposed Terms for Construction and other work during July, when a counsel for 

Asetek will be preparing for the California Bar Exam. There have been no previous 

time modifications in this case.
