STIPULATED REQUEST TO RELEASE DEFENDANTS' SUPERSEDEAS BOND

Defendants SAP AG, SAP America, Inc., and TomorrowNow, Inc. ("Defendants") submit this Stipulated Request and [Proposed] Order that Defendants may release the supersedeas bond previously approved by Court Order at ECF No. 1077.

WHEREAS, on June 22, 2011 this Court entered an order approving a supersedeas bond in the amount of $1,325,033,547.00 as appropriate security to stay execution of the final judgment entered on February 3, 2011 (ECF No. 1036), pending disposition of post-judgment motions and, if necessary, appeal. See ECF No. 1077.

WHEREAS, on September 1, 2011 this Court granted Defendants' motions for judgment as a matter of law and motion for a new trial, and vacated "that portion of the February 3, 2011 judgment awarding $1.3 billion for hypothetical license damages." See ECF No. 1081 at 20.

WHEREAS, as a result of the Court's September 1, 2011 order, there is no final judgment upon which Oracle can execute.

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Oracle USA, Inc., Oracle International Corporation, and Siebel Systems, Inc. ("Oracle," and together with Defendants, the "Parties") stipulate to this request.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the Parties, through their respective counsel of record, that Defendants may release the supersedeas bond previously approved by Court Order at ECF No. 1077.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
