Don; Ewenstein, Richard I; Eolas; Bob Kramer; Matt Rappaport; Kevin Burgess Subject: RE: Eolas/Staples: Stipulation Regarding Business to Business Websites and Features Mark Eolas is not only perplexed but quite frustrated that it has yet to receive Staples' proposed stipulation on its business to business websites and their features, which Staples' counsel promised to provide during the parties' LR7 conference on June 30 -- which occurred just two (2) days shy of three (3) weeks ago. As a participant in the LR 7 conference, you know first hand that Eolas requested the conference so that it could file a motion with the Court in order to gain access to Staples' business to business websites to assess the extent to which they may make use of the aeeused features/functionality at issue in this litigation because Staples otherwise refused to provide the requested access (which involves nothing more than a password/user Ld.). Based on Staples' counsels' oral representations that Staples' business to business websites do not make use of any of the accused features/functionality and a promise to provide a stipulation reflecting same during the LR7 conference, Eolas agreed not to seek the Court's intervention to obtain discovery of these websites. However, Staples' continued delay in providing the promised stipulation -- for nearly three (3) weeks now -- has unreasonably hindered Eolas' efforts to obtain discovery on these possibly infringing 1 websites, With the fact discovery deadline looming (August 12), Bolas is not in a position to wait any longer, Please provide the promised stipulation or provide the reason(s) why Staples is unable to enter into the promised stipulation and please do so by no later than the close of business (6 PM CT) on Friday, July 22. Please know that the LR7 conference requirements on this issue were met on June 30 and, thus, should we not hear from you by the requested time, Bolas will file with the Court a motion to compel access to Staples' business to business websites and request expedited consideration of same, Best, Torn From: Torn Fasone III Sent: Thursday, July 14,2011 12:58 PM To: Matuschak, Mark Cc: Hutchins, Kate; MRiehardson@brsfirrn.eom; Williams, Daniel V.; John B.

As it turns oul, our client is on vacation this week, which I didn't know at the timc of the conference. W c'lI be back to you on this promptly once he returns next week.

Today is Friday and Eolas has yet to receive the proposed stipulation from your client. Given the potential impact that this stipulation may have on Eolas' prosecution of its case against Staples within the current deadlines in this litigation, it is imperative that Eolas reeeive the promised proposed stipulation without further delay. Please advise.
