I, SCOTT W. COWAN, declare: I am a partner 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. Attached as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of excerpts from the August

4, 2009 Transcript of Proceedings before Judge Laporte, at 28:16-17, 29:4-5, 30:14-31:4. 2. Attached as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the August 31, 2009 Order

Granting in Part and Denying in Part Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents Related to Damages Model and Interrogatory Responses Related to Use of Plaintiffs' Intellectual Property, Dkt. No. 460. 3. In connection with the Expanded Discovery Timeline Agreement (the

"Agreement"), the Parties discussed and agreed to produce responsive data from "key custodians" collected after the litigation. I personally participated in those discussions. Based on those discussions and the Agreement, Defendants promptly started the costly recollection and production process for six custodians, i.e. Mark White, Martin Breuer, Andrew Nelson, Shelley Nelson, Greg Nelson and John Baugh. Defendants produced the responsive, non-privileged data for these custodians up through the time of TomorrowNow's wind down on October 31, 2008. In addition, on April 10, 2009, Plaintiffs specifically requested that Defendants recollect and produce the documents through the same date for three more custodians, i.e. Werner Brandt (SAP Executive Board Member), Gerhard Oswald (SAP Executive Board Member), and Thomas Bamberger (SAP Supervisory Board Member). This request is memorialized in the parties' meet and confer communications and in the Stipulation to Modify May 5, 2008 Case Management Order (Dkt. No. 305, at 4, ¶ 3). In addition, as part of the Agreement, Defendants incurred the expense and burden to recollect, review, and produce through October 31, 2008 numerous TomorrowNow tracking databases, including SAS. // // // 2
