Mirror Worlds, LLC ("Mirror Worlds"), provides the following responses to each of Apple Inc.'s ("Apple") motions in limine numbers 10, 12 and 13 (D.I. 323). 10. Mirror Worlds Does Not Oppose Apple's Motion in Limine No. 10 Provided Apple Abides by its Agreement Mirror Worlds agrees that hearsay statements, with no applicable exception, are not admissible. Apple and Mirror Worlds have agreed, however, that all documents produced by Apple, Mirror Worlds Technologies, Recognition Interface, Plainfield, Yale, inventors and witnesses from their records in this matter are authentic business records. Solo Dec., Ex. 6 (July 26, 2010 email from Apple counsel, Allan M. Soobert to Alexander Solo). Thus, all of these documents fall within the "records of regularly conducted activity" exception to hearsay. Fed. R. Evid. 803(6). 12. Mirror Worlds Does Not Oppose Apple's Motion in Limine to No. 12 Apple seeks to preclude "[a]ny comment, statement or suggestion relating to the probable testimony of a witness who is absent, unavailable, or whom a party does not expect to call or does not call to testify in this case . . .." Motion at 10. Mirror Worlds agrees with regard to probable testimony of non-present witnesses, provided, however, that such agreement does not preclude witnesses, including experts, from discussing documents authored by non-present witnesses. 13. Mirror Worlds Does Not Oppose Apple's Motion in Limine No. 13, Subject to the Parties Agreement That Mirror Worlds Can Supplement the Expert Reports of Dr. Levy and Mr. Bratic to Take Into Account Documents Produced by Apple After the Close of Discovery. Apple seeks to preclude evidence "regarding any new theories of liability, new claims for damages, factual contentions never disclosed during discovery." Apple's Motion (D.I. 323) at 10. Mirror Worlds does not oppose this provided that Mirror Worlds is able to put forth the 1

theories of liability and damages disclosed in its Complaint, Interrogatory Responses, and Expert Reports and is permitted to supplement the expert reports of Dr. Levy and Walter Bratic to address Apple's late-produced documents and depositions.
