`
`
`STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING THE USE OF CERTAIN DISCOVERY
`MATERIALS FROM RELATED LITIGATION
`
`Whereas the above-captioned matter (the “Action”) has been noted as related to other
`
`actions currently or previously pending before this court, most notably Civil Action Nos. 10—cv-
`
`6108, 15-cv-1360, and 16-cv-4971 against Roxane Laboratories, Inc. (“Roxane Matters”);
`
`Whereas in the Roxane Matters, those parties engaged in discovery, including depositions
`
`of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Jazz Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited (collectively, “Jazz”)
`
`witnesses pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(1) and Rule 30(b)(6);
`
`Whereas the parties to the Action recognize that there may be overlap of substantive
`
`issues between the Roxane Matters and the Action, such that depositions in the Roxane Matters
`
`may be relevant to the disputes in the Action and may shorten certain depositions or potentially
`
`eliminate the need for certain depositions;
`
`Whereas Jazz and Defendants Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Lupin Limited, Lupin
`
`Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lupin Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc.

`
`(collectively, “Defendants”) (Jazz and Defendants referred to herein collectively as the “Parties”)
`
`to the Action wish to avoid unnecessary duplication of fact discovery in the Action;
`
`Whereas the patents currently asserted by Jazz in the Action are US. Patent Nos.
`
`6,780,889 B2, 7,262,219 B2, 7,668,730 82, 7,765,106 B2, 7,765,107 B2, 7,851,506 B2,

`
`8,772,306 B2, 8,859,619 B2, 8,952,062 B2, and 9,050,302 B2 (collectively,
`
`the “Asserted
`
`Patents”);
`
`NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, by and through their respective undersigned counsel in
`
`this Action, and subject to the approval of the Court, stipulate and agree as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Depositions of Jazz sponsored witnesses, taken pursuant to Rule 30(b)(1) in the
`
`Roxane Matters shall be relied upon in this Action as if the testimony were obtained in this
`
`Action, to the extent permitted pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal
`
`Rules of Evidence, and the Local Rules of Civil Practice and Procedure of the United States
`
`District Court for the District of New Jersey.
`
`Jazz will not object to the admissibility of the
`
`testimony as authentic, but reserves the right to object on any other basis under the Federal Rules
`
`of Evidence (“Fed. R. Evid.”).
`
`2.
`
`Depositions of Jazz employees taken pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) in the Roxane
`
`Matters shall be relied upon in this Action as if the testimony were obtained in this Action, to the
`
`extent permitted pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence,
`
`and the Local Rules of Civil Practice and Procedure of the United States District Court for the
`
`District of New Jersey. Jazz will not object to the admissibility of the testimony as authentic, but
`
`reserves the right to object on any other basis under the Fed. R. Evid.
`
`

`
`3.
`
`The Parties agree to treat such depositions as Highly Confidential Information as
`
`defined in Section 1(b) of the Discovery Confidentiality Order governing this Action. See DE
`
`335.
`
`4.
`
`Defendants agree that they will not take depositions of Dayton Reardon, Harry
`
`Cook, Martha Hamilton, and Colette Goderstad in this Action pursuant to Rule 30(b)(1) and
`
`hereby withdraw their January 16, 2017 Notices of Deposition related to those individuals.
`
`Defendants further agree that they will not take the deposition of Mark Eller in this Action
`
`pursuant to Rule 30(b)(1) or Rule 45.
`
`5.
`
`Defendants agree to rely upon the Rule 30(b)(6) testimony of Jazz’s witnesses in
`
`the Roxane Matters and not to seek Rule 30(b)(6) testimony separately in this matter that is
`
`duplicative of testimony from the Roxane Matters, including testimony concerning conception
`
`and reduction to practice of the subject matter claimed in the patents—in-suit. Defendants will use
`
`best efforts to reasonably coordinate in advance of depositions to avoid duplicative questioning
`
`between themselves of a particular witness, and each party will use reasonable efforts to avoid
`
`duplicating examination of a particular witness on subject matter which was previously covered
`
`during the Roxane Matters. To that end, Defendants further agree to rely upon the Rule 30(b)(6)
`
`testimony of Jazz’s witnesses in the Roxane Matters concerning the actual sales of Xyrem
`
`through June 2016 and concerning the marketing of Xyrem through June 2016. Defendants
`
`agree that with respect to actual sales of Xyrem and the marketing of Xyrem, Defendants will
`
`only seek Rule 30(b)(6) testimony of Jazz concerning the actual sales of Xyrem and marketing of
`
`Xyrem from July 2016 to present.

`
`6.
`
`Unless otherwise provided herein, nothing in this Stipulation prevents Defendants
`
`from noticing depositions of Jazz or other witnesses pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) or Rule 30(b)(1),
`
`respectively.
`
`7.
`
`In the event Jazz asserts patents in this Action in addition to the Asserted Patents,
`
`Defendants reserve the right to notice depositions of Jazz or other witnesses in this Action
`
`pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) or Rule 30(b)(1).
