Inc. and YouTube, LLC in their Motion for Transfer to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 1404(a) (Docket No. 214). CDW agrees that transfer of this case to the Northern District of California, including all causes of action asserted against CDW, is appropriate

because the infringement allegations in Plaintiff's Complaint are (i) directed to the products of Northern California Defendants Apple, Sun, Adobe and Google, and (ii) raise defenses for which the testimony of numerous California-resident witnesses will be vital. To this extent, CDW joins in the request to transfer. Dated: February 11, 2010 Respectfully submitted, /s/ Eric H. Findlay Eric H.
