WHEREAS, on September 9, 2014, the Court entered as an order the parties Stipulation 

Regarding Discovery to Occur After September 5, 2014, which provided, among other things, that 

the Panasonic Defendants may notice or subpoena and take the deposition of an additional witness

unavailable, the Panasonic Defendants and Best Buy agree to meet and confer in 

good faith to select a different, available witness from the alternative witnesses 

identified by the Panasonic Defendants on September 12, 2014. 

3. Best Buy hereby waives any argument that testimony provided at any forthcoming

such deposition occurred after September 5, 2014. 

4. Best Buy expressly reserves and does not waive all other objections, including 

deposition objections and evidentiary objections regarding the admissibility of any 

testimony provided at any additional Best Buy percipient witness deposition.

does not waive other objections. 

6. To the extent a motion to compel may be required in connection with the depositions 

set forth in paragraphs (1) or (2) above, defendants may file such motion within five 

calendar days after the depositions in question or, with respect to documents, within 

five calendar days after any decision by Best Buy regarding the production of the 

requested documents.
