Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is in response to a July 27. 20 10 request by Adobe to confirm a discussion in a Jul y 14,2010 meet and confer. We informed Adobe at that time that Eolas ' claims do not breach

its obligations under the license agreement between Eolas and Microsoft.
provide the following representation to all defendants:

To confirm, we

Eolas is asserting claims 1, 4 , 5, 6, 9, and 10 of the '906 patent (and their dependent claims) and claims I, 16 and 36 of the '985
patent (and their dependent cl aims) against the defendants only for, and is seeking damages only for, acts of infTingement wherein the

"browser application" limitation is satisfied by something other
than Microsoft Internet Explorer. EoJas is asserting claims 4, 5, 9 and 10 of the '906 patent (and their dependent claims) against the defendants only for, and is seeking damages onl y for, acts of infringement wherein the "executi ng, on the network server" or "said network server to execute" limitations are satisfied by something other than Microsoft server software. Eolas is asserting claims 20, 32, 40 and 44 of the ' 985 patent (and their dependent claims) against the defendants only for, and is seeking damages only for, acts of infTi ng e m e nt wherein the "communicating via althe network server" limitat ion is satisfied by something other than Microsoft server so ft wa re . Despite our suggestion that defendants serve discovery if they wish to confirm o ur position on this issue, no defendant has done so.

Sincerely,
