`FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
`
`WHEREAS, on October 12, 2018, Plaintiff Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Plaintiff”)
`
`filed an unopposed Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint (D.I. 54);
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, Baxter’s First Amended Complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) adds seven
`
`new counts, including antitrust claims, to this action and seeks a jury trial on all issues properly
`
`triable by a jury;
`
`WHEREAS, Defendants Hospira, Inc. and Orion Corp. (collectively “Defendants”) plan
`
`to file a motion to dismiss certain of the counts in the Amended Complaint (the “Motion to
`
`Dismiss”) and otherwise respond to the remaining claims in the Amended Complaint; and
`
`WHEREAS, subject to the approval of the Court, Plaintiff and Defendants have agreed to
`
`the following schedule for Defendants’ response to the Amended Complaint and for briefing on
`
`the Motion to Dismiss, which, subject to the Court’s approval, includes increased page limits.
`
`NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by Plaintiff and Defendants, subject
`
`to the approval of the Court, that the following schedule and page limits with respect to briefing
`
`shall apply to Defendants’ response to the Amending Complaint and briefing on the Motion to
`
`Dismiss:

`
`
`1.
`
`Defendants shall have 30 days from the date the Court grants Plaintiff’s unopposed
`
`Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint (D.I. 54) to file the Motion to
`
`Dismiss and otherwise respond to the Amended Complaint. Defendants’ opening
`
`brief in support of the Motion to Dismiss shall not exceed 30 pages.
`
`2.
`
`Plaintiff’s answering brief in opposition to the Motion to Dismiss shall be filed
`
`within 30 days of the filing of the Motion to Dismiss. Plaintiff’s answering brief
`
`in opposition to the motion to dismiss shall not exceed 30 pages.
`
`3.
`
`Defendants’ reply brief in support of the Motion to Dismiss shall be filed within 14
`
`days of the filing of Plaintiff’s answering brief and shall not exceed 15 pages.
`
`IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED by Plaintiff and Defendants that during the time period
`
`between the filing of the unopposed Motion for Leave to File First Amended Complaint and the
`
`Court’s granting of such motion, Plaintiff need not respond to Defendants’ First Amended
`
`Counterclaim (D.I. 52), which will become moot when the Court grants Plaintiff’s motion to
`
`amend.
