STIPULATION Plaintiff Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH ("Sanofi") and Defendants Genentech, Inc.

3 and Biogen Idec Inc. ("Defendants"), pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2, respectfully 4 request that the Court enter the following stipulation and proposed order regarding Sanofi's 5 Motion for Leave To Amend Its Pleadings and Infringement Contentions. The parties now 6 AGREE and STIPULATE as follows: 7 a. The time for Defendants to respond to Sanofi's Motion for Leave To Amend Its

8 Pleadings and Infringement Contentions will be extended from December 31, 2009 to January 29, 9 2010; 10 b. The time for Sanofi to reply in support of its Motion for Leave To Amend Its

11 Pleadings and Infringement Contentions will be extended from January 8, 2010 to February 5, 12 2010; and 13 c. The hearing on Sanofi's Motion for Leave To Amend Its Pleadings and

14 Infringement Contentions will be adjourned for twenty-eight days, until February 19, 2010 at 9:00 15 a.m., or as soon thereafter as may be heard. 16 1. 17 Reason for Extension of Time Sanofi brought its Motion for Leave To Amend Its Pleadings and Infringement

18 Contentions on December 18, 2009. (D.N. 148-1.) As currently scheduled, Defendants' 19 opposition is due on December 31, New Year's Eve. Genentech will be closed from December 24 20 and will only reopen on January 4. Shortly thereafter, Defendants' counsel will be preparing for 21 and taking the depositions of the inventors of the patents-in-suit in Munich, Germany. Defendants 22 therefore requests a four-week extension to provide them adequate time in which to respond to the 23 motion. 24 2. 25 Prior Time Modifications The time for Sanofi to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint was previously

26 extended. The briefing and hearing schedule for Motions to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction 27 brought by Sanofi and its former co-defendants was temporarily vacated. The briefing and 28
