NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, Honeywell and the Hitachi entities hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 1. Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Display Devices, Ltd. ("HDD") and Hitachi Electronic

Devices (USA), Inc. ("HEDUS") will be treated as "stayed" defendants consistent with the Court's October 7, 2005 Order. 2. The case will not be stayed against Hitachi Displays, Ltd. ("HDL"). HDL

represents that it has access to, and thus agrees to produce in this matter, relevant documentation and testimony from HDD, notwithstanding a stay of the case against HDD. Additionally, HDL represents that it believes it has access to, and will be able to provide, relevant sales data for its U.S. sales. Moreover, HEDUS agrees to respond to requests for relevant sales/damages related information later in the discovery period, to the extent such discovery is not available from HDL, notwithstanding a stay of the case against HEDUS. 3. The Hitachi entities have represented that the backlight units manufactured by

HDD are not exclusively sold to Hitachi entities. HDL agrees that it will produce information regarding such activities to the extent such units are sold to any other party who claims not to have information regarding such backlight units. 4. The Hitachi entities hereby agree and covenant that they will not invoke any

territorial aspects of 35 U.S.C. § 271 as an absolute basis for preventing the entry of judgment against them in this matter; the Hitachi entities may invoke territorial aspects of this statute as a basis for reducing, but not eliminating, the amount of damages that Honeywell may be awarded in this matter.
