1 I, Nathan Walker, declare as follows:

2 1. I am of Counsel at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel for third-

3 parties InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corporation (collectively

4 “InterDigital”). I submit this declaration in support of InterDigital’s Emergency Motion for An

5 Order Closing the Courtroom and Sealing the Transcript During Discussion of InterDigital’s

6 Confidential Information, dated September 22, 2008. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated

7 herein.

8 2. On or about July 8, 2008, InterDigital received from counsel for Samsung Electronic

9 Co. Ltd a letter stating that Samsung intended to produce to Rambus certain confidential InterDigital
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP

10 documents, including (a) a Patent License Agreement (the “PLA”) between InterDigital and

11 Samsung; and (b) an arbitration Award (the “Award”) from a prior arbitration between InterDigital
1117 California Avenue

12 and Samsung (the “Arbitration”). A true and correct copy of this letter is attached hereto as
Palo Alto, CA 94304

13 Exhibit 1.

14 3. Although InterDigital objected to Samsung’s production of these documents, it

15 ultimately reached an agreement with Rambus and Samsung under which InterDigital redacted

16 certain limited information from the documents and then produced them to Rambus under the

17 Protective Order as “Confidential—Outside Counsel Only” material.

18 4. On September 5, 2008, InterDigital received from Rambus a letter stating that

19 Rambus might seek to introduce at trial the PLA and the Arbitration Award. A true and correct copy

20 of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

21 5. On September 12, 2008, InterDigital received from Rambus an email indicating that

22 Rambus may use as exhibits at trial several additional documents which contain confidential

23 InterDigital information, including a declaration of Charles R. Donohoe from the Arbitration, and a

24 brief filed by Samsung in the Arbitration. A true and correct copy of the email, without attachments,

25 is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

1 6. InterDigital objected to the public disclosure of the documents Rambus had

2 identified, and I met and conferred with Rambus counsel about InterDigital’s confidentiality

3 concerns.

4 7. On September 14, 2008, Rambus and InterDigital reached an agreement in an attempt

5 to avoid unnecessary motion practice. Specifically, Rambus agreed to provide InterDigital with two

6 full two business days’ notice before seeking to use the InterDigital documents at trial, so that

7 InterDigital would have an opportunity to seek protection from the Court in the event the an

8 otherwise acceptable stipulation could not be reached.

9 8. On the evening of Sunday, September 21, Rambus notified InterDigital that it intends
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP

10 to use at trial on Tuesday, September 23 the PLA, the Award, a declaration of Charles Donohoe

11 submitted in the Arbitration, and a brief filed by Samsung in the Arbitration.

1117 California Avenue

12 9. Today, on September 22, counsel for Rambus sent InterDigital an email, identifying
Palo Alto, CA 94304

13 the specific pages of those documents that it intends to use (collectively, those pages are referred to

14 herein as “InterDigital Confidential Documents”), and advised me that Rambus may be willing to

15 redact portions InterDigital Confidential Documents. A true and correct copy of the email is

16 attached hereto as Exhibit 4.

17 10. InterDigital and Rambus have not reached an agreement for redactions that

18 adequately would protect InterDigital’s confidentiality concerns.

19 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is

20 true and correct.

21 Executed in Palo Alto, California on the 22nd day of September, 2008.
