DECLARATION OF TANYA K. DUMAS IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS' ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL I, Tanya K. Dumas, declare: 1. I am a member of the State Bar of California and an associate at Bingham

McCutchen LLP, counsel of record for plaintiffs Oracle Corporation, Oracle USA, Inc., and Oracle International Corporation (together "Oracle") in this action. Except for matters stated below on information and belief, I have personal knowledge of the matters stated in this declaration by virtue of my representation of Oracle in this action. If called and sworn as a witness, I could and would competently testify to such matters. 2. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and the stipulated Protective Order entered on

June 6, 2007 in this case (Docket No. 32), I make this Declaration in support of Oracle's Administrative Motion to File its Reply in Support of Motion to Compel under seal. 3. The requested relief is necessary and narrowly tailored to protect the alleged

confidentiality of the materials put at issue by the Motion until such time as the Court makes a final ruling as to confidentiality of the relevant subject matter. See Plaintiffs' Admin. Mot. to File Their Mot. to Compel and Supporting Documents Under Seal (Docket No. 134, filed Aug. 1, 2008); Defendants' Response to Plaintiffs' Admin. Mot. to File Under Seal (Docket No. 147, filed Aug. 13, 2008). Specifically, Oracle's Motion and supporting exhibits contain information designated by Defendants as "Highly Confidential Information - Attorneys' Eyes Only," as well as information designated by Defendants as "Confidential Information," pursuant to the Protective Order entered on June 6, 2007 in this action. 4. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11, no stipulation is included with this

Administrative Motion, because the parties disagree over whether the documents that are the subject of this motion are properly designated as confidential or highly confidential and whether they need to be filed under seal. The parties have met and conferred over the confidentiality designations of these particular materials, resulting in Defendants filing their Response on August 13, 2008 (Docket No. 147). 2
