van Ginneken, bearing Bates number MAGMA0067270. Although Synopsys disagrees that this document contains confidential information, Magma has designated the document "Attorneys and Consultants Only." 5. Exhibit N to the Edelman Declaration is an email chain between David A. Jakopin

Exhibit S to the Harris Declaration is a document entitled "Physical Design

Strategy" bearing Bates number MAGMA0123415-MAGMA0123432. Magma has designated the document "Confidential ­ Attorneys and Consultants Only." For this reason, Synopsys respectfully requests that it be filed under seal. 8. Exhibit T to the Harris Declaration is a document entitled "Methodology Plan"

bearing Bates number MAGMA0123222-MAGMA0123251. Magma has designated the document "Confidential ­ Attorneys and Consultants Only." For this reason, Synopsys respectfully requests that it be filed under seal. 9. Exhibit U to the Harris Declaration is a document entitled "Bucket Equalization"

bearing Bates number MAGMA0140192-MAGMA0140197. Magma has designated the document "Confidential ­ Attorneys and Consultants Only." For this reason, Synopsys respectfully requests that it be filed under seal. For the foregoing reasons, Synopsys respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion to seal the above referenced document containing information that Synopsys and Magma claim is highly sensitive business confidential and/or proprietary information. Synopsys and Magma have an overriding interest in protecting the disclosure of this allegedly sensitive and confidential information. The sealing of the aforementioned documents is appropriate under Local Rule 79-5. A substantial probability exists that the overriding interest will be prejudiced if the records are not sealed. The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored (Synopsys seeks a narrowly tailored order to have sealed only those documents separately lodged with this Court for which sealing is appropriate). There are no less restrictive means to achieve the overriding interest. A Proposed Order is being filed and served herewith. Dated: July 7, 2005 DECHERT LLP
