WHEREAS, Plaintiffs served on October 23, 2007, a Notice of Deposition of 30(b)(6)

designee on NEC Corporation, for a deposition to be taken on November 2, 2007;

WHEREAS, NEC Corporation served on October 30, 2007 a response and objection to the

Notice of 30(b)(6) deposition but did not in its response designate any witness;

WHEREAS, on December 5, 2007, NEC Corporation sent an E-mail to Plaintiff’s counsel

identifying NEC’s designated 30(b)(6) witnesses. The designation stated that two (2) witnesses

would be produced pursuant to the deposition notice in Japan. Both witnesses are located in Japan

and NEC insists that the depositions be taken in Japan with a Japanese translator;

WHEREAS, the designation of witnesses in Japan does not permit time to comply with

Japanese law concerning depositions. Japanese law requires a specially-issued deposition visa for

counsel, court reporters, stenographers, and others taking the deposition. Such a deposition visa is

issued only upon entry of an order by the United States court, scheduling one of three rooms in

U.S. embassies or consulates available for deposition, and identification of all parties to the

deposition;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs served a Request for Production of Documents on Robert Pringle

and Jonathan Swartz at the law firm of Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner LLP on October

23, 2007. NEC Corporation served a written response to Plaintiffs’ Request for Production of

Documents on November 29, 2007, but has not yet produced any documents responsive to the

request;

WHEREAS, the documents requested in Plaintiff’s Request for Production of Documents

will be the subject of testimony by the NEC Corporation 30(b)(6) designees;

NOW THEREFORE, Plaintiffs and NEC Corporation, through their respective counsel,

hereby stipulate to the Court entering the attached Proposed Order.
