IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS LUFKIN DIVISION ANASCAPE, LTD. Plaintiff, v. MICROSOFT CORPORATION, and NINTENDO OF AMERICA, INC., Defendants. § § § § § § § § § § Hon. Ronald Clark Civil Action No. 9:06-CV-00158-RC

DECLARATION OF MARK WHITTEN IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT MICROSOFT'S MOTION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS PENDING COMPLETION OF THE REEXAMINATION OF THE PATENTS-IN-SUIT 1. I, Marc Whitten, am General Manager of Xbox Accessories at Microsoft

Corporation ("Microsoft"). I have personal knowledge of the facts herein and, if called as a witness, could testify competently thereto. 2. The original Xbox gaming system first went on sale in the United States in

November 2001. Microsoft has sold two different controllers for use with the original Xbox system, called the Xbox Controller and the Xbox Controller S. 3. In December 2005, Microsoft began sales of its next-generation Xbox system,

called the Xbox 360. Microsoft sells two new next-generation controllers, called the Xbox 360 Wired Controller and the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller. 4. The original Xbox Controller and Xbox Controller S, which were for use with the

original Xbox system, are no longer being manufactured by or for Microsoft. Microsoft is in the process of selling any of its remaining inventory of controllers for the original Xbox system. I currently estimate that any such inventory will be depleted by mid-2007.
