`
`decisions or decisions not to institute IPR in the foregoing IPR proceedings has issued. The
`
`parties reserve their right to seek modification of the stay for good cause.1
`
`5.
`
`If this motion is granted, each of the Intervenors and Defendants agree to be
`
`estopped to the same extent for each IPR as the party who filed that IPR.
`
`6.
`
`Cavium also agrees that its miscellaneous action seeking discovery from third
`
`party Crown Point (Cavium, Inc, v. In re: Subpoena to CrownPoint Transactions LLC, No. 2:17-
`
`MC-00002-JRG-RSP) shall be stayed for the duration of the stay of the above-entitled litigation.
`
`7.
`
`Intel also agrees that it will promptly file an unopposed motion to withdraw its
`
`pending motion to strike Alacritech’s amended infringement contentions (Dkt. 431).2
`
`8.
`
`The parties further agree that all other discovery and pretrial proceedings shall be
`
`immediately stayed pending resolution of this motion. The parties and Crown Point further
`
`agree to take reasonable measures to preserve the fact discovery at issue in the parties’ various
`
`pending motions to compel up to and including lifting of the stay of litigation, regardless of
`
`whether they dispute the discoverability and/or relevance of such evidence. As part of this
`
`agreement, Intel has agreed that it shall produce supplemental evidence identifying certain
`
`additional products including one or more of the accused Ethernet controllers sold from 2010
`
`once the stay is lifted.3
`
`
`1
`Alacritech reserves the right to move the Court to lift the stay for good cause before all
`petitions filed by all parties are resolved. Defendants reserve the right to oppose such a request.
`
`2
`
`3
`
`Intel has further agreed to withdraw its first subpoena to Dr. Almeroth and based thereon
`Alacritech shall withdraw its motion for a protective order (Dkt. 371) as moot.
`
`Alacritech and Intel reserve all rights and objections with respect to such further
`production of fact evidence.

`
`9.
`
`Intel intends to file a motion to amend its invalidity contentions to add “Connery
`
`System” art. Alacritech opposes the motion. The parties agree that while Intel may file its
`
`motion before or during the pendency of the stay, Alacritech’s opposition shall not be due until
`
`at least 21 days after the stay has been lifted (or on a schedule otherwise agreed to by the
`
`parties). By so agreeing, Alacritech reserves all rights, arguments, and objections to the Connery
`
`System art including to the timing of Intel’s request to add the prior art and the parties stipulate
`
`that extending the deadline of Alacritech’s opposition shall not be the basis for any argument or
`
`finding regarding the lack of prejudice to or diligence by Alacritech.
`
`10.
`
`Defendants agree that they shall provide updated financial information to reflect
`
`sales and revenue/profits relating to the accused products received during the time period of the
`
`stay within no more than forty-five (45) days of lifting the stay.
