DECLARATION OF ROHIT K. SINGLA

I, Rohit K. Singla, declare: I am a partner at the law firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, counsel of record

for Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., Disney Enterprises, Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp., Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., Sony Pictures Television Inc., Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., NBC Universal, Inc., Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc., Universal City Studios Productions LLLP, Universal City Studios LLLP, and Viacom, Inc. ("the Studios") in the above-captioned matter. I make this Declaration based upon my own personal knowledge, and if called upon to do so, I could and would testify competently to the matters stated herein. 2. We recently learned of patent applications filed by RealNetworks in 2007 and

2008 relating to the RealDVD product. Upon review and analysis, we determined that three of these applications directly contradicted the testimony of Real's witnesses and the contentions advanced by Real with respect to ARccOS and RipGuard. 3. On June 23, 2009, I called Real's counsel Ms. Colleen Bal, Mr. Michael Berta,

Ms. Tracy Tosh Lane, and Mr. Leo Cunningham to meet and confer regarding the Studios' desire to submit these patent applications to the Court as soon as possible and to request that they be added to the record for the preliminary injunction motion. 4. Real's counsel, Ms. Lane, and I subsequently exchanged a series of emails

regarding Real's patent applications. See Exhs. 1-3. Ms. Lane ultimately expressed that Real would agree to adding the patent applications to the preliminary-injunction record, but only if the Studios did not submit any explanation of the relevance of those applications. Exh. 3. The Studios could not agree to this condition. 5. Accordingly, although the parties have had opportunity to meet-and-confer, we

have been unable to reach a stipulation regarding the attached motion.
