Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and qualifications, Defendants respond as follows: DENIED. REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO. 577: Admit that for the majority of Fixes or Updates listed in Exhibit B, TN identified some set of Customers to whom it would deliver the Fix or Update and determined whether one Fix or Update could be Developed for all such Customers on the release, or whether TN needed to split the Customers on that release into sub-groups (sometimes referred to at TN as "source groups"). AMENDED RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO. 577: Defendants incorporate by reference, as if fully set forth herein, all of Defendants' General Objections noted above.
