`
`evidence submitted during the preliminary proceeding:
`
`1.
`
`JAZZ EXHIBIT 2015 is objected to under Fed. R. Ev. 401–402
`
`because the Exhibit does nothing to show that Par Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc.
`
`has any relation, direction, or control over this proceeding, and is thus irrelevant to
`
`the question of whether Par Pharmaceutical Holdings, Inc. is a real-party-in-
`
`interest in this proceeding. JAZZ EXHIBIT 2015 is also objected to under Fed. R.
`
`Ev. 403 because its minimal probative value is substantially outweighed by the fact
`
`that it is misleading and needlessly cumulative.

`2.
`
`JAZZ EXHIBIT 2016 is objected to under Fed. R. Ev. 401–402
`
`because the Exhibit does nothing to show that Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc.

`
`the question of whether Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. is a real-party-in-
`
`interest in this proceeding. JAZZ EXHIBIT 2016 is also objected to under Fed. R.
`
`Ev. 403 because its minimal probative value is substantially outweighed by the fact
`

`
`proceeding, and is thus irrelevant to the question of whether Par Pharmaceutical
`
`Companies, Inc. is a real-party-in-interest in this proceeding. JAZZ EXHIBIT
`
`2017 is also objected to under Fed. R. Ev. 403 because its minimal probative value
`
`is substantially outweighed by the fact that it is misleading and needlessly

`
`because the Exhibit does nothing to show that Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc.

`interest in this proceeding. JAZZ EXHIBIT 2018 is also objected to under Fed. R.
`
`Ev. 403 because its minimal probative value is substantially outweighed by the fact
`
`that it is misleading and needlessly cumulative.
`
`5.
`
`JAZZ EXHIBIT 2019 is objected to under Fed. R. Ev. 401–402

` Patent No. 7,668,730
