`I, Michael A. Sherman, declare as follows:
`1. I am a member of the bar of the State of California and am admitted to practice before the
`United States District Court for the Northern District of California. I am a partner at Stubbs
`Alderton & Markiles, LLP, counsel for Plaintiffs PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC
`(“PersonalWeb”). The facts herein are, unless otherwise stated, based upon personal knowledge, and
`if called upon to do so, I could, and would testify to their truth under oath. I submit this declaration
`in support of PersonalWeb’s Motion for Judgment of Non-Infringement.
`2. On August 19, 2019, I sent a letter sent to Mr. Hadden, counsel for Amazon.com Inc. and
`Amazon Web Services Inc. (collectively “Amazon”), that proposed that PersonalWeb and Amazon
`enter into a stipulation with respect to judgment of non-infringement in favor of Amazon against
`PersonalWeb. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of my letter. In a conversation
`later that same week with Mr. Hadden, he did indicate to me that he would get back to me on his
`clients’ willingness to enter a form of stipulation.
`3. Having received no follow-up from Mr. Hadden about stipulation, on September 23, 2019 I
`sent an email to Mr. Hadden regarding the proposed stipulation of non-infringement with a draft
`stipulation for his review. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of that email and
`proposed stipulation.
`4. On September 26, 2019 Mr. Hadden replied, stating only that Amazon was not interested in
`entering into such a stipulation, and would wait for summary judgment. I replied, seeking a further
`explanation, and Mr. Hadden responded that same day, stating that summary judgment would result
`in “saving attorney’s fees” over a stipulation. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct copy
`of that email thread, as well as my response back to Mr. Hadden dated September 27, 2019 where I
`again suggested that a stipulation appeared more cost effective than incurring attorneys’ fees on
