Pursuant to Local Rules 7-11(a) and 79-5(b)-(c), Plaintiffs Oracle USA, Inc., Oracle International Corporation, and Oracle EMEA Limited (collectively, "Oracle") and Defendants SAP AG, SAP America, Inc., and TomorrowNow, Inc. (collectively, "Defendants," and with Oracle, the "Parties") jointly submit this stipulation to permit Oracle to file Exhibit A to the Parties' February 9, 2009 Joint Discovery Conference Statement ("Statement") under seal. The requested relief is necessary and narrowly tailored to protect the alleged confidentiality of the materials put at issue by the Parties' Statement, until such time as the Court rules on the confidentiality of the relevant subject matter. Specifically, Exhibit A to the Statement contains information designated by Defendants as "Confidential Information" and "Highly Confidential Information ­ Attorneys' Eyes Only," pursuant to the Protective Order entered in this action on June 6, 2007. Moreover, Defendants contend that Exhibit A to the Statement reflects a "snapshot" of the Parties' inchoate compromise discussions under Fed. R. Evid. 408 regarding PeopleSoft HRMS environments and updates/fixes and should be protected accordingly. Accordingly, the Parties, through their respective counsel of record, stipulate that Oracle be permitted to file Exhibit A to the Statement under seal. The Parties further agree that Oracle reserves its rights to challenge the confidentiality of the information filed under seal pursuant to this Stipulation and understand that this Stipulation is not intended to relieve Defendants' burden, under Local Rule 79-5(d), of supporting the confidentiality of the documents at issue. The Parties agree that neither the act of filing nor the filed documents shall be construed as a waiver of confidentiality designation or other protection (under Fed. R. Evid. 408 or otherwise) with respect to documents, transcripts, or other information referred to in, or that serve as the basis for, the allegations or arguments made therein. /// /// /// /// ///
