NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HERBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between counsel 

for the Stipulating Plaintiffs and Mitsubishi Electric as follows:

1. This Court’s March 13, 2014 Orders shall apply to Tech Data’s and Dell’s First Amended

concerning the Complaints filed by Tech Data and Dell and as if Mitsubishi joined in the 

Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss in the first instance; in particular: 

a. The Court’s ruling on Mitsubishi Electric’s laches and statute of limitations 

arguments shall apply to the complaints filed by Tech Data and Dell, and are 

fully preserved as to those complaints and need not be re-raised in order to present 

them on appeal; 

b. The Court’s March 13, 2014 Orders regarding the timeliness of other DAPs and 

Tech Data’s state law claims shall apply to Tech Data’s FDUTPA, California 

Cartwright Act, and California Unfair Competition claims against Mitsubishi 

Electric, and such claims are hereby stricken;

c. Tech Data may raise on appeal any statute of limitations arguments raised by 

Tech Data or any other DAP in connection with the March 13, 2014 Orders and 

such arguments need not be raised anew by Tech Data in order to preserve them. 

2. Mitsubishi Electric, Dell and Tech Data shall exchange 26(a)(1) disclosures on 

May 30, 2014. To the extent that Dell and Tech Data contend that they have produced 

discovery that satisfies their disclosure obligations, Dell and Tech Data shall each 

provide a letter that (1) attaches the discovery that meets the disclosure obligations, (2) 

specifically identifies the 26(a)(1) disclosures satisfied by the attached discovery, and (3) 

cites to the specific portions of the attached discovery for each category of 26(a)(1)
