`
`on my personal knowledge.

`
`3.
`
`I have reviewed Plaintiff’s Motion for a Second Extension of Time for
`
`Defendants to Respond to the Complaint. SIPCO and IPCO do not oppose that
`
`motion.
`
`4.
`
`In the negotiations, Plaintiffs and Defendants have made substantive
`
`progress toward an agreement that would settle this litigation. However, material
`
`issues remain to be resolved between the parties. An extension will provide the
`
`parties more time to negotiate a license and settlement of this litigation.
`
`Defendants will diligently pursue reaching an agreement that will settle the present
`
`action.
`
`5.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States
`
`of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`DATED this 10
