MR. McDONELL:

Q.

In coming up with your

assumed value -- well, let me strike that. Do you know whether there are independent third-party support providers that are not partners of Oracle that are supporting Oracle products? MS. HOUSE: THE WITNESS: Vague as to time. And what's your time frame?

Do you have a year in mind? MR. McDONELL: and today. A. I think you know what I know about the Q. Any time between 2002

record, that if you go back in time, that you'll see small operations, small companies, under 20 employees, under 10 employees, people will gravitate out of a PeopleSoft and set up a little servicing shop. And if you look at the documentation in this case that looks at Oracle's positions, and in the positions of SAP, there's documentation that says, basically, those groups really don't matter much, and the market's less than 1 percent -- let me finish -- those little service providers. that's really key. And

And so that's the big issue is, when we look across all of this, Mr. Clarke spends a lot of time in his report on this issue, but the bottom line is, those are not companies that are not just backed by SAP, but teamed up with SAP in a marketing program and a selling program to 4,000 customers. agreements. alternatives. So we can go through all these But the bottom line is, there's no There's no alternatives that are

acceptable and non-infringing. And I'm not talking about someone that has five customers or 20 customers or 10 employees. I'm talking about a legitimate alternative, and around the two thousand -- 2004 December time frame, in SAP's own records, they looked for options to TomorrowNow. And they identified a few,

and they picked TomorrowNow. So these service providers just don't rise up to being legitimate, third-party alternatives. Q. Okay. Have you ever heard of

CedarCrestone? A. Q. Yes, I've heard of CedarCrestone. Do you know what they offer by way of

support of PeopleSoft products? MS. HOUSE: Objection. Vague as to time.

MR. McDONELL: question. A.

Q.

That's a yes or no

You don't have to go to a binder. I have a whole binder -MS. HOUSE: Excuse me. Vague as to time.

Calls for speculation. THE WITNESS: I have a whole binder, and

it's here in the room, and I can get it, that goes through all the third-party vendors identified by Mr. Clarke. And I look at what he looked at and

other information about whether these are actually legitimate third-party vendors. And I'm saying that legitimate in terms of being something to compare in this case. MR. McDONELL: Q. Is this a binder you

created for rebuttal purposes since you've read Mr. Clarke's report? A. Well, there's two levels. I had already

had an understanding that there was no alternatives. And when Mr. Clarke spent a lot of

time analyzing the alternatives and took the position that there were alternatives, I spent some time going back and looking at those groups. on a preliminary basis, I've pulled together a schedule, which you now have, and all the backup that basically says, as you scan through this, And

these companies are not acceptable non-infringing alternatives on any kind of scale. I'm not saying they don't exist and they don't have a little business, but a scaling business.
