I, Evan A. Parke, declare as follows: 1. I am an associate with the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP,

counsel to ConnectU, Inc. I am licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia and in the State of Illinois and am appearing in this case per an order of the Court granting my application to appear pro hac vice. I have personal knowledge of the facts and

circumstances set forth in this Declaration. I make this Declaration pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-11 and 79-5(b). 2. Good cause exists for sealing ConnectU, Inc.'s Administrative Request

for Leave to File Additional Authority. On June 23, 2008, the Court held a closed hearing in this matter due to concerns relating to the confidentiality of the terms of a settlement agreement, which were discussed at the hearing. The contents of ConnectU, Inc.'s Administrative Request for Leave to File Additional Authority relate to, and contain, information presented at that hearing. 3.

This Administrative Motion is being made pursuant to Civil L.R. 79-5,

which requires a Court order to seal documents and does not permit sealing by stipulation.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Executed this 24th day of June, 2008.

/s/ Evan A. Parke
