Plaintiffs Norman Perron and G. David Hatfield and Defendant Hewlett-Packard ("HP") hereby stipulate as follows: 1. HP re-filed motions to dismiss and stay these proceedings on August 13, 2010

(Docket No. 36). 2. On September 15, 2010 Judge James Ware of this Court issued an Order

(document No. 250) in the Nvidia GPU litigation, Case No. 08-04312 which preliminarily approved a settlement. Paragraph 14 of that Order states that "Pending final determination of whether the Settlement should be approved, the Plaintiffs, all Settlement Class Members, and each of them, and anyone who acts or purports to act on their behalf, shall not institute, commence or prosecute any action which asserts Released Claims against any Released Person." On September 23, 2010, HP moved to stay all proceedings in this matter pending a determination whether the Nvidia settlement should be finally approved (Doc. No. 38). HP argued, among other things, that Plaintiffs' claims in this matter are "Released Claims" for purposes of Judge Ware's September 15, 2010 preliminary approval order and HP is a "Released Person" for purposes of that order. Plaintiffs agree it is possible that their claims herein fall within the definition of "Released Claims" in the Nvidia settlement. Plaintiffs will be filing objections to the Nvidia settlement. 3. The parties to this case hereby stipulate that all proceedings in this litigation

are stayed until 30 days after Judge Ware rules on the upcoming Motion for Final Approval of Settlement in the Nvidia GPU litigation. /// /// /// /// /// /// ///
