from those witnesses; and

for Messrs. Nagamori, Kobe, Gomyo, Morita, Kodaki and Hamada, and Plaintiff Nidec 

Corporation agrees not to call Messrs. Nagamori, Kodaki and Hamada at trial, or to otherwise 

present evidence from those witnesses, and further agrees with respect to Messrs. Kobe, Gomyo
