DECLARATION OF MATTHEW K. BLACKBURN IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATED REQUEST ENLARGING TIME FOR TRANS VIDEO TO RESPOND TO THE U.S. SONY COUNTERCLAIMS I, Matthew K. Blackburn, declare as follows: 1. I am a partner at the law firm of Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, counsel of record for Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Trans Video Electronics, Ltd., in the above-captioned matter. I

make this declaration in support of the parties' Stipulated Request Enlarging Time for Trans Video to Respond to the U.S. Sony Counterclaims. I make the following declaration based upon my personal knowledge, and could and would testify thereto under oath if called upon to do so. 2. On July 20, 2009, Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Trans Video Electronics, Ltd. ("Trans Video") commenced the present action by filing a Complaint for patent infringement against Defendants and Counter-Plaintiffs Sony Electronics Inc., Sony Corporation Of America, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., and Sony Corporation.

On September 17, 2009, the parties further stipulated [D.I. 17] that the responses to the Complaint of Defendants Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., and Sony Corporation would be due December 15, 2009 and that the responses to the Complaint of Defendants and Counter-Plaintiffs

5. On September 24, 2009, Defendants and Counter-Plaintiffs Sony Electronics Inc., Sony Corporation Of America, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. filed and served their Answers and Counterclaims [D.I. 25-27]. 6. Defendants Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Sony Corporation have not yet answered, moved, or otherwise responded to the Complaint. 7. The parties request the foregoing modifications because they agree that the interests of judicial efficiency, the administration of justice, and the conservation of judicial and the parties' resources would thus now best be served by a 14-day extension for the Plaintiff and CounterDefendant Trans Video to respond to the Counterclaims. 8. Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Trans Video has not previously sought or received any enlargements of time to respond to the Counterclaims. The only previous time modifications, whether by stipulation or Court order, were Docket Nos. 10 and 17 discussed above. 9. The modification requested by the parties in the above Stipulated Request Enlarging Time For Trans Video To Respond To The U.S. Sony Counterclaims are not believed to have an effect on the schedule for the case. 10. Prior to filing the above Stipulated Request Enlarging Time for Trans Video to Respond to the U.S. Sony Counterclaims, I sent it to Megan W. Olesek for review, and she authorized me to file the Stipulated Request on her behalf. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on this 14th day of October 2009 at San Francisco, California.
