`
`
`In the Matter of
`CERTAIN NOISE CANCELLING
`HEADPHONES
`
`DECLARATION PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 1746 OF MARK DONALDSON
`
`I, Mark Donaldson, declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States
`
`of America as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Phitek Systems Limited
`
`(“Phitel<”).
`
`2.
`
`Phitek has been in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling
`
`headphones since 2003.
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`Phitek researches and develops audio products.
`
`Phitek customizes headphones for its customers, including the other Respondents
`
`in this matter. As a result, all of the Respondents in this matter have Confidential Business
`
`Information (“CB1”) that is the fruit of Phitek’s research and development. Said CB1 is protected
`
`by confidentiality agreements between Phitek and its customers because the information
`
`constitutes trade secrets.
`
`5.
`
`Phitek gains a considerable competitive advantage from its proprietary research
`
`and development, and the disclosure of that information to competitors would be extremely
`
`harmful to Phitek.
`
`I declare under penalty and perjury under the laws of the United States of America that
`
`the foregoing is true and correct.
