On December 8, 2006, plaintiffs in some of these other actions collectively filed a

motion before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ("JPML") to transfer and consolidate in this judicial district all existing and subsequently filed antitrust actions related to the claims alleged in the Complaint. Nvidia and AMD will respond to the motion on the schedule to be set by the JPML. 4. On December 14, 2006, pursuant to Local Rule 3-12, the plaintiff in another action

(Juskiewicz v. Nvidia Corp., et al., Case No. C-06-7553) filed an "Administrative Motion To Consider Whether Cases Should Be Related" to relate that action to a similar action (Truong v. Nvidia Corp., et al., Case No. C-06-7417) filed in this district against Nvidia and AMD. 5. In light of the multiplicity of complaints on file and the pending motion before the

JPML, the parties agree to extend the time for Nvidia and AMD to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint to 30 days after (1) the order resolving the JPML motion, and (2) the filing and service of any subsequent consolidated complaint, without prejudice to the right of Nvidia or AMD to seek additional time to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint for good cause shown.
