I, THARAN GREGORY LANIER, declare as follows: I am a partner in the law firm of Jones Day, 1755 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California 94303, and counsel of record for Defendants SAP AG, SAP America, Inc. (together, "SAP"), and TomorrowNow, Inc. ("TN") (collectively, "Defendants") in the above-captioned matter. I am a member in good standing of the state bar of California and admitted to practice before this Court. I make this declaration based on personal knowledge and, if called upon to do so, could testify competently thereto. 1. As part of discovery in this matter, Defendants produced 11,257,064 Bates

numbered pages and over 17 terabytes of electronic data. 2. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of an untitled document, produced

by Defendants in this case at TN-OR00000001­08, and marked in this case as Plaintiffs' Deposition Exhibit 4. TN-OR00000007 lists Nick Rawls as a TN Senior Account Executive for the EMEA region, located in Maidenhead, UK, and Hendrik Zwart as a TN Senior Account Executive for the EMEA region, located in Germany. TN's counsel, Tom Nolan, is, and has been at all relevant times, located in Stamford, Connecticut. TN-OR00000007 further lists Todd Dunfee as a TN Account Executive located in Ohio. Plaintiffs rely on Exhibit 69 to the House Declaration for their argument that Mr. Dunfee was located in California. Exhibit 69 is a list of TN employees created for purposes of production in this litigation. Exhibit 69 lists Mr. Dunfee's location as Pleasanton, California because he reported to Bob Geib, who was located in Pleasanton, California. Mr. Dunfee's actual location was Ohio, as listed in the TN organization chart produced at TN-OR00000007. 3. Attached as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of the following relevant portions

of TN's contract with Harley-Davidson, Inc., which became effective on December 7, 2006 and which was produced by Defendants in this case at TN-OR00000350­67: portions of TNOR00000350. Also attached as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct copy of the following relevant portions of SAP's contract with Harley-Davidson, Inc., which was produced by Defendants in this case at SAP-OR00172658­663, indicating that Harley-Davidson was a customer of SAP at least as early as December 9, 2005: portions of SAP-OR00172658.
