Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP

I, Rebecca Justice Lazarus, declare as follows: 1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and in the Northern

District of California. I am an associate in the law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, counsel of record for Plaintiffs Kristin M. Perry, Sandra B. Stier, Paul T. Katami, and Jeffrey J. Zarrillo in the above-captioned matter. I make this declaration in support of Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to Seal Documents Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5(d). The information below is stated on personal knowledge and if called as a witness, I could and would testify competently thereto. 2. Plaintiffs will submit to the Clerk of the Court, in sealed envelopes, two copies of (1)

Plaintiffs' Motion to Reopen Deposition of Ronald Prentice and (2) Ms. Justice Lazarus' Declaration in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion to Reopen Deposition of Ronald Prentice and supporting exhibits. 3. Plaintiffs have filed on the electronic docket a redacted copy of Plaintiffs' Motion to

Reopen Deposition of Ronald Prentice. The redacted portion of these documents include references or descriptions of documents designated by Defendant-Intervenors as "Highly Confidential ­ Attorneys' Eyes Only." 4. Plaintiffs have filed on the electronic docket a copy of Ms. Justice Lazarus'

Declaration in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion to Reopen Deposition of Ronald Prentice which does not include supporting exhibits that were designated by Defendant-Intervenors as "Highly Confidential ­ Attorneys' Eyes Only." 5. Exhibits C, D, F, and H were produced by Proponents between January 10 and 17,

2010, pursuant to the Court's order requiring the further production of documents, see Doc #372 at 5. 6. A stipulation could not be obtained in this matter because Civil Local Rule 79-5(a)

prohibits the sealing of documents or information by agreement of the parties, and therefore the parties are unable to enter into such a stipulation. // // // // // 2
