STIPULATION

20
Plaintiff Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and Defendant Neodron Ltd. (“Neodron”)
(collectively, the “Parties”) stipulate and agree as follows:
1.
In this breach of contract case, Microsoft asserts that Neodron breached a covenant
21
not to sue provision of a component purchase agreement between Microsoft and Defendants Atmel
22
Corporation and Atmel Global Sales, Ltd. Neodron is not a signatory to that agreement.
23
2.
Neodron filed a motion to dismiss Microsoft’s complaint based on lack of personal
24
jurisdiction, claims splitting, and improper venue. That motion is pending before the Court and
25
Microsoft’s opposition to that motion is due on or before September 28, 2020.

3.
Prior to filing this breach of contract case against Neodron, Microsoft filed an
2
arbitration against Neodron and Microchip Technology, Inc. that involve similar, but distinct
3
issues to those in this action. As part of that arbitration, which is still pending, Neodron produced
4
documents and made statements that Microsoft asserts are relevant to this action, including
5
documents that Microsoft asserts it needs to respond to Neodron’s motion to dismiss. While
6
Neodron does not agree that any such information is relevant or appropriate in opposing Neodron’s
7
motion to dismiss, Neodron nevertheless does not oppose the request to use that information in the
8
manner described in this stipulation, while reserving all rights and arguments concerning the
9
procedural and substantive relevance of such information.
10
4.
In order to allow the Parties to use information that Microsoft asserts is needed to
11
adequately brief the pending motion to dismiss, the Parties agree that any information exchanged
12
by them in the above-mentioned arbitration should be allowed to be used in this action subject to
13
a protective order entered in this case.
14
5.
15
stipulated motion.
For the reasons discussed above, good cause exists for the Court to enter this
