I, JAMES HOFBAUER, declare: 1. I am the Executive Vice President and CFO of Plaintiff Innovative Interfaces, Inc.

("Innovative"), a California corporation. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein and if sworn to testify would and could competently testify thereto. 2. Innovative has its headquarters in Emeryville, California, and has been in business

for almost 30 years. All corporate and transactional records and related documents, software and servers are maintained in Emeryville at its corporate headquarters. I have personal knowledge of the conduct and events described in the Complaint that have harmed Innovative. 3. Innovative has been in discussions with several representatives of statewide

management of the University of California ("UC"), whose principal offices are located in Oakland, California, concerning the installation and use of OCLC's product known as WorldCat Local as a replacement for a "next generation" of UC's Melvyl Catalog. This OCLC commercial product was developed with the assistance of many UC resources, including librarians at several UC campuses, without competitive bidding and without following required procurement practices because, UC officials have stated, such assistance was an obligation of OCLC membership. Several librarians and executives at UC are critical witnesses in this case and are identified in Exhibit A of Ms. Straus's Declaration. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. DATED: September 27, 2010 By: /s/ James Hofbauer JAMES HOFBAUER
