Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-12 of the Local Rules of Practice in Civil Proceedings before

to an order providing the following:

1. Nidec shall designate a Rule 30(b)(6) witness to testify at deposition regarding

the structure of the motors which Nidec contends practice any one or more of the patentsin-suit, i.e., the motors listed in Exhibit E to Nidec’s Final Infringement Contentions.

2. Nidec shall designate a Rule 30(b)(6) witness to testify at deposition regarding

Nidec’s factual bases for any alleged secondary indicia of obviousness or non-obviousness

regarding the claimed inventions of the patents-in-suit.

3. Nidec shall designate a Rule 30(b)(6) witness to testify at deposition regarding

facts and circumstances relating to the effective filing date of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,667,309

and 6,554,476.

4. Nidec shall designate a Rule 30(b)(6) witness to testify at deposition regarding

facts and circumstances relating to enablement and written description requirements of 35

U.S.C. § 112 for U.S. Patent Nos. 5,667,309 and 6,554,476.

5. With respect to each of the topics identified in paragraphs 1-4 above, to the

extent practicable, Nidec will use its best efforts to make such witness(es) available in

January or early February 2007 in San Francisco. In any event, the parties agree that these

depositions may be taken after the formal close of fact discovery on January 10, 2007.

6. By January 2, 2007, Nidec will advise JVC whether it will have a witness to

extent a witness is made available, that witness will be made available as set forth in
