              1. Gerard Angé began doing business                1. Declaration of Gerard Angé
 5   as Gerard Angé Productions, International in          (“Angé Dec”) at paragraph 2.
     approximately 1985 or 1986. The business
 6   done as Gerard Angé Productions,
     International, both before and after
 7   incorporation has been related to providing
     satellite hookups for transmission of live
 8   events.

 9           2. In January 2000, through the web                  2. Angé Dec at paragraph 2 and
     hosting company, QuickBooks, Angé applied             corresponding Exhibit.
10   for and obtained rights to the worldwide web
     domain name, gapinternational.com.
11
              3. Pursuant to my rights as owner of               3. Angé Dec at paragraph 3.
12   the domain name gapinternational.com, I
     arranged for a website related to the business
13   of Gerard Angé Productions, International to
     be set up with the web address
14   www.gapinternational.com in or around the
     first half of 2000.
15

16           4. In or about September 2000, Angé                 4. Angé Dec at paragraph 4.
     took all steps necessary to have Gerard Angé
17   Productions, International, Inc. (“G.A.P.
     CA”) incorporated under the laws of the
18   State of California.. Thereafter, the rights to
     the domain name gapinternational.com
19   belonged to G.A.P. CA.

20            5. At all times from September 2000                 5. Angé Dec at paragraph 5 and
     through the present, G.A.P. CA was                    corresponding Exhibit.
21   commonly known at “G.A.P. International”
     and both its stationery and its website (prior

1          6. In or about March 2002,                          6. Angé Dec at paragraph 6.
     QuickBooks informed Angé that it would no
 2   longer be providing web hosting services.
     Consequently, he made efforts to locate
 3   another company or individual who could
     provide that service for me. An individual
 4   who worked with G.A.P. CA, Tom Knight,
     informed Angé that he knew an individual,
 5   Anthony Templer, dba Atanda Web Presence
     Services, who could provide the web hosting
 6   services G.A.P. CA needed.

 7          7. Shortly after Tom Knight told                    7. Angé Dec at paragraph 7.
     Angé about Mr. Templer, Templer and Angé
 8   met and Templer agreed to provide G.A.P.
     CA and another project that Angé was
 9   developing, World Indigenous Network
     Corporation (“Win-TV”) with internet related
10   services including, inter alia, web hosting.

11           8. Accordingly, in or around the                   8. Angé Dec at paragraph 8.
     beginning of April, 2002, Angé provided Mr.
12   Templer with all of the information he needed
     to provide web hosting services, including,
13   inter alia, the passwords necessary to contact
     QuickBooks on behalf of G.A.P. CA and
14   Win-TV and take over web hosting from
     QuickBooks.
15

16           9. On or about April 7, 2002, Templer               9. Angé Dec at paragraph 9 and
     notified Angé by email that he (Templer) had         corresponding Exhibit.
17   accomplished the transition in web hosting
     from QuickBooks to Templer’s operation and
18   he would be hosting the G.A.P. CA domain
     name thereafter.
19

20           10. Templer informed Angé although                  10. Angé Dec at paragraph 10 and
     the technical contact information for the            corresponding Exhibit.
21   domain had been changed that Angée was still
     listed as the Administrator and that G.A.P.
22   CA’s address was listed as the address for the
     administrator.
