WHEREAS, pursuant to this Court's order dated August 29, 2011 on Mitsui & Co.

1. Stipulating Defendants' respective answers, filed on March 15, 2010, to the allegations in Electrograph's Complaint are hereby deemed responsive to the corresponding allegations in Electrograph's Amended Complaint and no further responsive pleading on behalf of the Stipulating Defendants to Electrograph's Amended Complaint shall be required.
2. To the extent Electrograph's Amended Complaint contains any additional or substantively revised allegations to which a response may be deemed to be required from the Stipulating Defendants, such allegations are hereby deemed denied.
