`
`Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc. (“Patent Owner”) and NuVasive, Inc.
`
`(“Petitioner”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby jointly
`
`move to replace Warsaw’s originally-filed Exhibit 2038, the Declaration of Barton
`
`L. Sachs, M.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.P.E., F.A.C.H.E. (the “Sachs Declaration”), with
`
`replacement Exhibit 2038 (attached hereto as Attachment A). On January 31, 2014,
`
`the Board held a conference call to address, inter alia, Petitioner’s motion for
`
`additional discovery. See Paper 33. One subject of additional discovery sought by
`
`Petitioner pertained to certain documents relating to statements made in paragraph
`
`100 of the Sachs Declaration. Subsequent to the Board conference call, the Parties
`
`conferred further regarding the discovery, and Patent Owner proposed to strike
`
`paragraph 100 of the Sachs Declaration if Petitioner would agree to drop its
`
`discovery request for the documents relating to statements made in paragraph 100
`
`of the Sachs Declaration. Petitioner agreed to Patent Owner’s proposal. To that
`
`end, the Parties have agreed that Patent Owner may file a replacement Exhibit
`
`2038, as a substitute for the originally-filed Exhibit 2038. Petitioner further states
`
`that in agreeing to Patent Owner’s proposal and submission of replacement Exhibit
`
`2038, Petitioner is not waiving any of the objections that Petitioner has made with
`
`respect to other aspects of Exhibit 2038, as set forth in Petitioner’s objections
`
`timely served on December 30, 2013. Therefore, the parties seek leave of the
`
`Board to replace Exhibit 2038 with a new Exhibit 2038.
