`Chris,
`
`Proposed revisions are attached. This is also subject to further review/approval from Microsoft. I will be
`sending to Mr. Lavi later tonight (tomorrow morning in Tel Aviv).
`
`We disagree with the assertions in your second paragraph, but we can address timing if and when we get
`an agreement for Mr. Lavi to appear. We have discussed the length of the deposition on multiple
`previous occasions and Microsoft’s position has not changed.

`Dear Evan,

`Bradium and Mr. Levanon are still considering the language of the attached limited waiver
`agreement, but have authorized us to send this draft to you.  The final agreement will be subject to
`approval by Bradium and Mr. Levanon.  Please confirm that you will promptly forward this draft to
`Mr. Lavi for his consideration. 

`Regarding schedule, at this point even if agreement is reached, Bradium will be prejudiced by a late
`deposition.  Bradium is willing to compromise to provide time for Mr. Lavi to comply with his
`obligation to appear in the United States, but will need Mr. Lavi to appear for deposition for up to
`two days, to be completed no later than March 24, 2017.

`Chris,
`
`We understood from Monday’s call that the Board expected a response by today, so the parties should
`provide an update to the Board today. I have drafted a revised proposed email to the Board that could be
`sent as a joint email.
`

`Dear Evan,

`During this week, we have diligently worked with Mr. Levanon and Bradium regarding
`providing a limited waiver to Mr. Lavi addressing his appearance at deposition in the U.S., as
`was suggested by the Board.  We are in the process of drafting an agreement to be signed by
`Mr. Levanon, Bradium, Microsoft, and Mr. Lavi.  We will continue to finalize this draft and
`consult with Mr. Levanon and Bradium over this weekend, and we expect to be able to
`provide a draft agreement to you on Monday, if not before.

`To speed up the communication process, can you please clarify whether Mr. Lavi is
`represented by counsel, and please provide the contact information of Mr. Lavi’s Israel-based
`counsel that you mentioned on the call with the Board.

`


`Chris,
`
`Microsoft is available for a meet and confer at 11:30 AM PT/ 2:30 PM ET on Wednesday, March 8, by
`which time Bradium will have had two full business days to contact Mr. Levanon and 3DVU. We need an
`answer by then, and frankly it is not plausible that you have not been able to contact Mr. Levanon, the
`50% owner of Bradium and the owner of 3DVU, within 48 hours.
`
`In regard to the purported confidentiality issues, while Microsoft has made clear on several occasions the
`reasons why it disagrees with your previous characterizations, it does not appear at this time that you are
`seeking any action with regard to the public availability of Ex. 1017. If my understanding is incorrect,
`please let me know and we remain willing to discuss sealing Ex. 1017 and filing a redacted public version,
`as we have from the first day that Bradium raised its still-unsubstantiated confidentiality concerns.
`
`To be clear regarding the scheduling, Microsoft’s position is that it is willing to stipulate to extensions of
`the remaining Due Dates. As I understand the Board’s rules, the Due Date is in place until the parties file
`a stipulation to move it or the Board orders a change, and I understood from Monday’s call that the Board
`was expecting the parties to submit a stipulation. It seems to me that it’s better for both parties to agree
`on such a stipulation soon.
`
`Also, please advise whether you represent 3DVU, and if not, how they may be contacted, and who you
`are speaking to at Denso.
`
`Regards,
`Evan

`Dear Evan,

`Bradium disagrees with many of the statements and characterizations in your below e-mail. 
`Rather than respond to each one, please be advised that we are in the process of contacting
`Mr. Levanon, 3DVU and Denso, and will update you when have heard from them. 

`Regarding Exhibit 1017, as I explained on the call with the Board, Microsoft improperly chose
`to make the exhibit public without consulting us in advance, and then refused to place the
`exhibit under seal despite our requests that it do so.  Microsoft’s belated offer in your email
`below, one month later, to place “portions of” the exhibit under seal, is useless.  It is our
`understanding that the exhibit has now been publicly available for one month.  Sealing the
`
`Microsoft, Ex. 1045
`Microsoft v. Bradium, IPR2016-00449
`
`

`

`exhibit is no longer a viable option.   

`Regarding the IPR schedules, based on yesterday’s Board call, Bradium understands that the
`earliest date for DUE DATE 4 in either IPR will be March 22nd.  Bradium will consider your
`proposal regarding other dates in light of any resolution of the question of when or whether
`Mr. Lavi will come to the U.S. for his deposition.

`Conference Call

`Counsel,
`
` write to follow up regarding some of the matters discussed on the conference call with the PTAB this
`afternoon.
`
`Yonatan Lavi
`As we indicated on the call and in our previous correspondence, we believe that Mr. Lavi’s willingness to
`testify may be impacted by the threat of Mr. Levanon or one of his business entities taking legal action
`against him based on his testimony, although it does not appear that any reasonable ground for such
`action exists. Nevertheless, in order to increase the possibility that Mr. Lavi will appear willingly to testify
`in the U.S., we would like to know Bradium’s position on whether it can give any assurance that it will not
`take legal action against Mr. Lavi due to his testimony in these matters. Specifically, we ask that
`Bradium, Mr. Levanon and his family, all 3DVU entities, and any other entity controlled by Mr. Levanon
`(e.g. Inovo Ltd. MAN Trust, etc.) will covenant not to sue Mr. Lavi in retaliation for or based on any legal
`cause of action arising out of his providing testimony in connection with the subject proceedings.
`Because Mr. Levanon’s agreement would be critical in order to make such an agreement and in view of
`the time difference with Israel, we suggest that the parties meet and confer regarding this issue tomorrow
`so that you may first discuss this issue with Mr. Levanon.
`
`Purported Confidentiality Issues
`In regard to the confidentiality issues that you raised on the call today, we disagree with a number of your
`characterizations to the Board of the communications between the parties regarding Bradium’s various
`assertions that Ex. 1017 contains confidential information belonging to any party. For example, Ex. 1017
`does not mention the Denso licensing agreement (Ex. 2029) either directly or indirectly, and you did not
`respond to my letter on February 14 asking for additional information about the Denso confidentiality
`issues that you raised for the first time on February 13.
`
`Nevertheless, if Bradium truly believes that certain portions of Mr. Lavi’s declaration should be sealed,
`please provide us with proposed redactions of Mr. Lavi’s declaration. As we have stated previously,
`Microsoft is willing to work with Bradium in order to seal Ex. 1017 and simultaneously file a public
`
`Microsoft, Ex. 1045
`Microsoft v. Bradium, IPR2016-00449
`
`

`

`redacted version, with the understanding that doing so is not an admission by Microsoft that any of the
`material to be redacted is actually confidential. However, we do not believe that Bradium’s demands to
`seal the entire document are reasonable in view of the fact that Ex. 1017 discusses subject matter that
`Mr. Levanon already addresses in the unredacted public portions of Exs. 2004/2072, or information that is
`otherwise public.
`
`Extension of Due Dates
`As we indicated on the call and previously, Microsoft is willing to stipulate to extend the deadlines for Due
`Dates 4-6. Microsoft is amenable to moving Due Date 4 for both IPR2016-00448 and IPR2016-00449 to
`March 22, and moving Due Dates 5 and 6 for IPR2016-00448 to correspond to the current dates for
`IPR2016-00449, so that the schedule for both proceedings would be as follows:
`· Due Date 4: March 22
`· Due Date 5: March 31
`· Due Date 6: April 7

`
`This Limited Waiver Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between (1) Isaac

`which he is an officer or currently exercises a controlling interest and by which Mr. Yonathan
`Lavi was formerly employed, including without limitation 3DVU, Inc., a Delaware Corporation,
`and 3DVU, Ltd., an Israel Limited Company (hereinafter such entities collectively referred to as
`“3DVU”); (2) Bradium Technologies LLC (“Bradium”); (3) Mr. Yonathan Lavi (“Lavi”); and

`inventors of such patents.
`
`WHEREAS, on or about January 11, 2016, Microsoft filed petitions for inter partes
`review of the ’343 and ’506 patents by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the

`signed by Lavi in the inter partes review proceedings, without filing such declarations under seal
`and without seeking prior consent of Levanon or 3DVU to discuss any information contained
`therein with Lavi.
`
`WHEREAS, the Parties have a dispute whetherBradium alleges that Lavi disclosed
`confidential information of 3DVU and/or customers of 3DVU, including DENSO Corporation,
`to Microsoft, and whether that Lavi’s declarations submitted in the inter partes review
`proceedings have revealed confidential information of 3DVU and/or its customers, while
`Microsoft and Lavi dispute Bradium’s allegations that confidential information was revealed and
`whether Bradium and Levanon have raised such allegations in good faith.
`
`WHEREAS, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.53, Bradium has requested that Microsoft offer
`Lavi to appear for a cross-examination deposition in the United States in the inter partes review
`proceedings.

`compulsion of a subpoena, as opposed to appearing in Israel pursuant to a Letter of Request,
`shall not be relied upon by Bradium or Levanon (including 3DVU) as a basis for any claim
`Bradium and/or Levanon (including 3DVU) may have against Lavi with respect to obligations of
`confidentiality that Lavi may have or may have had to Bradium or Levanon (including 3DVU).
`Bradium, Levanon, and 3DVU further agree that the subject matter of such a deposition shall be
