I, STEPHEN E. TAYLOR, declare as follows: 1. I am an attorney with Taylor & Company Law Offices, Inc., counsel for plaintiffs

Google Inc. ("Google") and Kai-Fu Lee ("Dr. Lee") in the above-captioned litigation. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration and, if called upon to do so, I could and would testify competently to all of the matters contained herein. This declaration is submitted in support of the Motion by Plaintiffs Google Inc. and Kai-Fu Lee for Summary Judgment. 2. On July 18, 2005, before Dr. Lee resigned from Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"),

Microsoft served Google with a complaint in an action in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, in and for King County, against Dr. Lee and Google ("the Washington Litigation"). A true and correct copy of that complaint is attached to this declaration as Exhibit A. 3. On July 21, 2005, Google and Dr. Lee filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief against

Microsoft in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for Santa Clara County ("the California Litigation"). On July 29, 2005, the California Litigation was removed by Microsoft to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, on the basis that this Court has diversity jurisdiction over the parties, and became this action. 4. On July 25, 2005, Microsoft filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and

Order to Show Cause ("TRO Motion") in the Washington Litigation. A true and correct copy of the TRO Motion is attached to this declaration as Exhibit B. 5. On July 28, 2005, the Court in the Washington Litigation issued a Temporary

Restraining Order against Google and Dr. Lee. A true and correct copy of that order is attached to this declaration as Exhibit C. 6. A review of Microsoft's website as of August 26, 2005, discloses that Microsoft

operates offices in six different cities in California: Sacramento, San Francisco, Mountain View, Los Angeles­Santa Monica, Orange County­Irvine and San Diego. True and correct copies of pages reprinted from Microsoft's website containing information disclosing the location of its offices in California is attached to this declaration as Exhibit D (see http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/info/
