24:23 person named U-H-M. He was one of the lower-level 24:24 managers in the legal department, in the patent 24:25 department. I think he worked for Mr. Shim. 33:20 33:21 33:22 33:23 33:24 33:25 34: 1 34: 2 34: 3 34: 4 34: 5 34: 6 34: 7 34: 8 34: 9 34:10 34:11
MS. LUEDTKE: Q. Did you read the license agreement before you signed it? A. Not in its entirety. It's too long. Q. Do you remember whether you read portions of the license agreement that is deposition Exhibit 9084 before you signed it? A. I may have, depending on whether the typical issues would be -- the lawyers will tell me which issues are some key issues that I need to understand. But I don't recall which ones they were. But, I mean, that's a standard process that -- that we would go through. Q. But you don't remember before signing the 2000 license agreement with Rambus whether you read particular portions of that agreement that were brought to your attention by attorneys? A. Yes, I don't remember.

37:25 But, essentially, myself and Jay Shim were the two 38: 1 people who were chasing down signatures. 207: 7 207: 8 207: 9 207:10 207:11 207:12 207:13 207:14 207:15 207:16 207:17 207:18 207:19 207:20 207:21 207:22 207:23 207:24 207:25 208: 1 208: 2 208: 3 208: 4 208: 5 208: 6 208: 7 208: 8 208: 9 208:10 208:11 208:12
Q. Have you at any point looked at your 2000 and 2001 notebooks to see if there are any notes in those notebooks related to Rambus license negotiations? A. I have no idea where my notebooks are. Q. What do you typically do with your notebooks when you finish a year, fill a notebook? A. I may have kept it around for one year, but typically after a year I just do a garbage flush of all my written materials and probably gets down into the shredder after a year or two. I don't have an exact date. But, you know, there comes a time when there's -- at the end of the year, some dwell time and getting rid of paperwork. Q. Have you at any point changed your practice of doing a garbage flush of your written materials after a year or so? A. It's very random. Whenever I have -- the drawer gets filled up, then I do a garbage flush of paperwork, yes. Q. Has anybody ever told you to keep materials related to Rambus? A. Typically, the attorneys will send out an e-mail when there is a -- you know, some kind of litigation or discovery phase that says do not destroy or do not throw away, that type of stuff. I received one, but I don't recall whether it was for Rambus or from something else. I did receive one. But, you know, I think I didn't pay much attention because it wasn't probably relevant to me, and I'm not sure if it was for Rambus at all.

Q. If you had received any e-mails related to licensing negotiations with Rambus in 2000 or 2001, do you know where those e-mails would be now? A. No. Q. Do you follow a practice with respect to keeping or archiving your e-mails? A. No. Q. Do you know -A. It just stays there. Then it automatically erases after a certain time off of my computer. Now where it goes, I don't know.
