I, JOSHUA FUCHS, declare: I am an attorney with the law firm of Jones Day and counsel for Defendants in the abovecaptioned matter. I make this declaration based on personal knowledge and, if called upon to do so, could testify competently thereto. 1. Based on Defendants records of production is this case, the discovery burden has

not been equal. Defendants have been required to review and produce far more data and been required to prepare and present many more witnesses for deposition than Plaintiffs. 2. To date, Defendants have reviewed in excess of 6 million documents for potential

production from custodian files. Out of that, Defendants have produced approximately 4,364,049 Bates numbered pages from 72 different custodians. In addition, Defendants have produced in excess of 10 terabytes of native data including entire portions of TomorrowNow servers and key services databases which have required thousands of man hours of review and processing time. In contrast, Plaintiffs to date have only produced approximately 312,743 Bates numbered pages from 41 custodians. In addition, much of the native data Plaintiffs have produced consists of log files and software release and updates which do not have the potential to contain privileged data and, therefore, do not require review for privileged content. 3. As for depositions, to date, Defendants have been required to prepare and present

30 witnesses totaling nearly 200 hours of deposition time. Plaintiffs, on the other hand, have been required to present 11 witnesses totaling nearly 51 hours of deposition time. 4. To date, Oracle has served 102 subpoenas duces tecum upon 99 former customers

of TomorrowNow. Of those 99 customers, 49 customers have produced approximately 389,900 Bates numbered pages and 77,012 documents. Defendants review each document produced by a third party to appropriately designate any confidential or highly confidential information that may be contained therein. // // // // 2
