TEIFELD A Q A Q Megan Wahtera has. Do you know the name of that account? I don't. In connection with what campaign, was that
account created? A Q A "The Heartbreak Kid." And why was it created? It was a situation where we wanted to market
to people that are sensitive to overt advertising. Q And why would the creation of a separate
account do that, achieve that goal? A Because there's very tech-savvy people that
can watch videos on YouTube and figure out if an IP -where an IP address comes from. And if it says
"Paramount Pictures," then they're aware that it's advertise -- that they're being advertised to. Q I'm not sure I follow. Could you explain what you mean by "tech-savvy people" figuring out IP addresses? A Well, if we're posting a video that, you
know, we want -- we want it to look like a user created it to make it more susceptible for someone to click on it and watch it, then we don't necessarily want them to see right away that it's coming from

TEIFELD Paramount so that they don't feel like it's part of a marketing strategy. Q Does that mean that you would use a user name
that, unlike Paraccount, didn't have the possibility of evoking Paramount Pictures? A Q Possibly, yes. Are there other steps that Paramount would
take to disguise the origins of the video? A Q I wouldn't say we disguised it. You testified that -- that certain users
wouldn't want to watch videos if they knew they came from Paramount. A Q Uh-huh. Other than using a user name that didn't
evoke Paramount to achieve that purpose, were any other steps taken towards that end? A Q A Q earlier. Did you mean to say that sometimes you didn't upload them from a Paramount-owned IP address? A Yes. I don't recall specifically. You mentioned IP addresses -Uh-huh. -- in connection with -- with your answer
