`JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER
`
`WHEREAS, Plaintiff Globus Medical, Inc. (“Globus”) and Defendant Life Spine, Inc.

`
`of this action with respect to the asserted claims/patents and prior art;
`
`WHEREAS, the Parties previously informed the Court that they were in process of
`
`negotiating a framework for such case narrowing, see D.I. 99 at 1 n.1;
`
`THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE, subject to the approval of the
`
`Court, as follows:
`
`1.
`
`With respect to its final infringement contentions, Globus agrees to assert no more
`
`than 45 claims.
`
`2.
`
`With respect to its final invalidity contentions, Life Spine agrees to assert no more
`
`than 8 references and 20 obviousness combinations per patent. Globus agrees to consider in good
`
`faith any reasonable modification proposed by Life Spine.
`
`3.
`
`No later than 14 days prior to the service of its initial expert report on infringement,
`
`Globus agrees to reduce its asserted claims to no more than 20.
