Civil Action No. 6:10-cv-521-LED
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

ORDER GRANTING WI-LAN’s UNOPPOSED MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION
OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS FROM HTC CORPORATION, HTC AMERICA, AND
EXEDEA INC.
Before the Court is Wi-LAN Inc.’s (“Wi-LAN”) unopposed motion to compel production
of certain license agreements that HTC Corporation, HTC America, and Exedea Inc.
(collectively, “HTC”) have not produced on the basis of third-party confidentiality obligations.
Having considered the parties’ papers and for good cause shown, the Court is of the
opinion that the motion should be granted. It is therefore ORDERED that HTC shall promptly
produce to Wi-LAN each license agreement identified in HTC’s July 6, 2012 letter that has not
already been produced. To the extent HTC locates additional patent licenses relevant to cellular
communications technology that cannot be produced absent a court order or third-party consent,
it is ORDERED that HTC shall produce such license agreements to Wi-LAN within a reasonable
time after locating such additional patent license.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 17th day of July, 2012.
