Inc., Samsung SDI Co., Ltd., Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd., Sanyo North America Corporation, Sony

Defendants, waive service of the summons and the complaint filed by Microsoft Mobile in this 

action on June 26, 2015 (“Microsoft Mobile’s Complaint”) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 4(d). All Defendants preserve all other defenses under the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, including potential Rule 12 motions and motions to compel arbitration. 

2. Within 21 days of the date on which this stipulation is entered as an Order of the 

Court, or alternatively, seven days after the date by which the parties stipulate to and the Court 

enters an appropriate protective order in this action, whichever is later, all Defendants shall 

produce to Microsoft Mobile the documents that Defendants produced to the United States 

Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in response to subpoenas issued by DOJ regarding secondary 

batteries, and that were also produced to class plaintiffs in this consolidated action. Microsoft 

Mobile and Defendants agree to reasonably expedite the entry of an appropriate protective order 

in this action. Defendants do not waive any defenses by producing these documents to Microsoft 

Mobile, including the right to compel arbitration. 

3. All Defendants shall respond to Microsoft Mobile’s Complaint within ninety (90) 

days from the date on which this stipulation is entered as an Order of the Court. 

4. All Defendants and the Microsoft Mobile Plaintiffs agree to waive the production 

of initial disclosures in this action. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
