On or about July 8, 2008, InterDigital received from counsel for Samsung Electronic
Co. Ltd a letter stating that Samsung intended to produce to Rambus certain confidential InterDigital
10
documents, including (a) a Patent License Agreement (the “PLA”) between InterDigital and
11
Samsung; and (b) an arbitration Award (the “Award”) from a prior arbitration between InterDigital
12
and Samsung (the “Arbitration”). A true and correct copy of this letter is attached hereto as
13
Exhibit 1.
14
3.
Although InterDigital objected to Samsung’s production of these documents, it
15
ultimately reached an agreement with Rambus and Samsung under which InterDigital redacted
16
certain limited information from the documents and then produced them to Rambus under the
17
Protective Order as “Confidential—Outside Counsel Only” material.
18
4.
On September 5, 2008, InterDigital received from Rambus a letter stating that
19
Rambus might seek to introduce at trial the PLA and the Arbitration Award. A true and correct copy
20
of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
21
5.
On September 12, 2008, InterDigital received from Rambus an email indicating that
22
Rambus may use as exhibits at trial several additional documents which contain confidential
23
InterDigital information, including a declaration of Charles R. Donohoe from the Arbitration, and a
24
brief filed by Samsung in the Arbitration. A true and correct copy of the email, without attachments,
25
is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

InterDigital objected to the public disclosure of the documents Rambus had
2
identified, and I met and conferred with Rambus counsel about InterDigital’s confidentiality
3
concerns.

7.
On September 14, 2008, Rambus and InterDigital reached an agreement in an attempt
5
to avoid unnecessary motion practice. Specifically, Rambus agreed to provide InterDigital with two
6
full two business days’ notice before seeking to use the InterDigital documents at trial, so that
7
InterDigital would have an opportunity to seek protection from the Court in the event the an
8
otherwise acceptable stipulation could not be reached.

On the evening of Sunday, September 21, Rambus notified InterDigital that it intends
10
to use at trial on Tuesday, September 23 the PLA, the Award, a declaration of Charles Donohoe
11
submitted in the Arbitration, and a brief filed by Samsung in the Arbitration.
12
9.
Today, on September 22, counsel for Rambus sent InterDigital an email, identifying
13
the specific pages of those documents that it intends to use (collectively, those pages are referred to
14
herein as “InterDigital Confidential Documents”), and advised me that Rambus may be willing to
15
redact portions InterDigital Confidential Documents. A true and correct copy of the email is
16
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.

InterDigital and Rambus have not reached an agreement for redactions that
adequately would protect InterDigital’s confidentiality concerns. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed in Palo Alto, California on the 22nd day of September, 2008.
