`Sotera that, if the PTAB institutes an IPR in response to Defendants’ petition against Plaintiff’s
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,510,040 (IPR2024-00351), Defendants will not pursue in this litigation the

`U.S. Patent No. 9,247,174 (IPR2024-00352), Defendants will not pursue in this litigation the
`
`grounds raised or any other grounds that could have reasonably been raised before the PTAB in
`
`that instituted proceeding (i.e., any ground that could have been raised under §§ 102 or 103 on
`
`the basis of prior art patents or printed publications).
`
`Defendants hereby stipulate, consistent with the stipulation made by the Petitioner in
`
`Sotera that, if the PTAB institutes an IPR in response to Defendants’ petition against Plaintiff’s
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,055,254 (IPR2024-00353), Defendants will not pursue in this litigation the
