`
`
`DECLARATION OF JOHN GROVES
`
`I, John Groves, hereby declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am Senior Director of the Intellectual Property Practice Group at
`
`Emerson Electric Co., one of the plaintiffs in the present action.
`
`I make these
`
`statements based on my personal knowledge.
`
`2.
`
`Defendants and Plaintiffs have had discussions over the last several
`
`months to license the patents at issue in this case to the Plaintiffs.
`
`I have been the
`
`primary contact person on behalf of Plaintiffs during these discussions.
`
`3.
`
`I understand that, under the current case schedule, the Defendants
`
`must respond to the complaint by April 27, 2014. Plaintiffs and Defendants have
`

`
`made substantive progress toward an agreement that would settle this litigation.
`
`Negotiations have reached the point where only two significant issues remain
`
`unresolved. Plaintiffs believe that a 30—day extension of that due date may be
`
`necessary to negotiate a license and settlement of this litigation. Plaintiffs will
`
`diligently pursue reaching an agreement that will settle the present action.
`
`4.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States
`
`of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`DATED this 9th day of April, 2014.
