structure o f the environments and the underlying databases. See Ex. B-1, at 36:16-37:12,84:2186:9. John Baugh testified in early February 2008 that TN obtained its database platforms from a variety o f vendors, including Oracle. See id. On April 1, 2008, former TN employee Kathy Williams testified regarding the different component parts o f a~ e n v i r o n m e n t - i n c l u d i n g the "relational database p 1 a t f o r m " - a n d the naming conventions for the databases at TN. Ex. B-3, at 47:7-13, 107:13-108:9. On Apri12, 2008, former TN employee Catherine Hyde also testified to the naming conventions for the database platforms at TN. See Ex. B-4, at 112:12-113:16. 32. Moreover, the two documents used by Plaintiffs as exhibits to the April 2009

deposition o f George Lester were produced to Plaintiffs on February 8, 2008 and March 13,2008.
See Russell Decl., Exs. M, N. These documents are e-mails between former TN employees

regarding T N ' s use o f Oracle databases. See id. A third database-related document attached as Exhibit 0 to P l a i n t i f f s Motion was also produced on February 8, 2008. See id. at Ex. O.
33.

Further, in 2008, Plaintiffs had the opportunity to review and select for production

files from T N ' s servers containing database components as part o f the "Data Warehouse" production described above. However, in the review o f these servers, Plaintiffs did not mark the database files as "produce" files and only marked some files as "record." The metadata from the requested "record" files was produced by August 2008. As noted above, Plaintiffs did not request the production o f any "record" files until March 16,2009. 34. Exhibit P to Chad Russell's declaration consists o f screen shots from "Data

Warehouse" servers detailing the location o f certain files which may be components o f databases. These were sent in response to a request from Mr. Geoff Howard made in April 2009. - 10 DECL.
