12

do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. If the parties cannot resolve

14

the objection, it shall be the obligation of the party challenging the

15

"CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES

16

22

accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied

23

with the meet and confer requirements imposed in L.R. 37-1. Until the Court rules

To Be Bound By Supplemental Protective Order” attached as Exhibit A, and the

signed by that Outside Consultant. Broadcom shall have seven calendar days to

13

raise any objections for good cause to those Outside Consultants, starting from the

14

first business day following the date upon which Receiving Party expressly notifies

15

Broadcom of that expert and provides the information set forth above, whereby

16

such express notification shall be provided to Broadcom directly by Receiving

17

Party.

Designated Broadcom Material may not be disclosed to mock jurors

22

previously disclosed to Non-Party Broadcom, Non-Party Broadcom shall have

seven (7) calendar days from receipt of the notice specified in Paragraph G to

24

object for good cause in writing to such disclosure (plus three (3) extra days if

25

notice is given in any manner other than by hand delivery, e-mail delivery or

26

facsimile transmission). After the expiration of the 7-day (plus 3-days, if

27

appropriate) period, if no objection for good cause has been asserted by Broadcom,

28

then Designated Broadcom Material may be disclosed to the Outside Consultant

grounds on which it is based. Should Receiving Party disagree with the basis for

4

the objection(s), Receiving Party must first attempt to resolve the objection(s)

5

informally with Non-Party Broadcom. If the informal efforts do not resolve the

6

dispute within five (5) business days from the date upon which Receiving Party was

7

first notified of any objection for good cause by Non-Party Broadcom, Receiving

Party may file a motion requesting that the objection(s) be quashed after that five

outlined in this subsection do not apply to Outside Consultants who have already

17

been disclosed to Broadcom under the terms of the Underlying Protective Order

20

are still required to submit to Broadcom signed copies of the “Acknowledgement

22

Exhibit A, and the “Certification Of Consultant” attached as Exhibit B, before

23

viewing any Source Code designated BROADCOM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’
