WHEREAS, on June 18, 2015 Altera Corporation ("Altera") served a deposition and document subpoena on Peter Weber, the former CEO of PACT XPP Technologies, AG ("PACT") while Mr. Weber was in California;
WHEREAS, Mr. Weber has represented that he was served with the subpoena during a brief visit to California, that he has left the United States to return to Singapore where he lives, and that returning to the United States for his deposition would impose a burden on him; and

The parties further agree and stipulate that such deposition will be admissible in this case to the same extent as a deposition conducted in the United States pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The parties hereby so stipulate.
Pursuant to the parties' stipulation, and good cause shown, IT IS SO ORDERED:
