responsive third party documents protected under a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA"). The Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to obtain permission from third parties to produce such documents.

Each TIFF image will be labeled with a production number on the

corresponding page. The TIFF file should be named in accordance with the production number (e.g., BATES000001.TIF). The producing Party will provide an Opticon image load file defining document breaks for each set of page images produced and will provide optical character recognition (OCR) for each image. Documents will be produced on CD or DVD disks or on portable hard drives. B. C. Each image will be named as the production Bates number. Unitizing Documents.

scanning paper documents, distinct documents should not be merged into a single record, and single documents should not be split into multiple records). The Parties will make their best efforts to have their vendors or other appropriate resources unitize documents correctly and will address cooperatively situations where there are improperly unitized documents. III. FORM OF PRODUCTION ­ ELECTRONICALLY STORED INFORMATION A. Pursuant to Rule 26(f)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Parties agree

that discovery of electronically stored information ("ESI") should be provided in the following format. For static image file formats that exist only as such, they may be produced consistently with the format for the production of paper documents as appropriate. 1. Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)

ESI responsive to discovery requests should be imaged and provided as black-and-white, single-page, 300 DPI, Group IV TIFFs. The Parties will accommodate reasonable requests for production of specific images in color. Each TIFF image will be labeled with a production number on the corresponding page. The TIFF file should be named in accordance with the production number (e.g., BATES000001.TIF). The producing Party will provide an Opticon image load file defining document breaks for each set of pages or images produced. For

documents with attachments, "Beg. Attach" and "End Attach" fields should also be included. TIFF documents will be produced on CD or DVD disks or on portable hard drives, as appropriate due to volume.

Text Files

For each image, an OCR text file containing page markers should be provided along with the TIFF. The provided OCR text file should be named in accordance with the TIFF file (e.g., BATES000001.TXT).If applicable, the text of native files should be extracted directly from the native file and included in a "TEXT" field in the Concordance data file (.dat file). For any document with a redaction, no text files will be provided for the redacted portion of the document. 3. Unique IDs

Native Format

Microsoft Excel Files shall be produced in native format instead of TIFF format. The native documents will be assigned a document level production number, and the native file name shall be prepended with a production number (i.e. BATES0000001_NativeFile.xls). The parties should include a link to these files in the Concordance data file (.dat file), as well as the original file name and any relevant custodian information. The parties will include a placeholder image in the production for these documents which will contain the production ID and the original file name. To the extent that a party wishes to receive other types of ESI in native format, the parties shall meet and confer and shall comply with reasonable requests to produce ESI in native format. When produced, native file format documents will be produced on CD or DVD disks or on portable hard drives, as appropriate due to volume. 6.

The parties continue to negotiate the terms and format of production of "HighlyConfidential ­ Restricted Access Only" information . These procedures will be addressed in an addendum to the Joint Stipulated Protective Order of June 19, 2008 or in a supplemental protective order. 7. Non-Convertible Files

Certain types of files such as system, program, and sound files may not be amenable to conversion into anything meaningful in TIFF format. If responsive, these will be produced in native file format with a placeholder TIFF image. A link to the native file will be produced in the Concordance .dat file in a field titled "NATIVEFILELINK." Other files may not be able to be converted to TIFF due to password protection or corruption (for example). If reasonable efforts to obtain useful TIFF images of such files are unsuccessful and they are determined or reasonably thought to be responsive, these will also be accounted for with a placeholder image. The Parties shall meet and confer as to whether particular documents accounted for with a placeholder image shall be produced in native format. Some examples of file types that may not convert include, but are not limited to, file types with the following extensions: *.exp *.ilk *.res *.trg *.tlh *.idb *.pdb *.pch *.opt *.lib *.cab *.mov *.mp3 *.swf *.psp *.chi *.chm *.com *.dll *.exe *.hlp *.ivi

Parent-child relationships (the association between an attachment and its parent document) should be preserved. 9.

The following objective coding fields will be provided in load files to the extent determinable: a. b. c. d. e. f. 10. Beginning Bates Number; Ending Bates Number; Beginning Attachment Bates Number; Ending Attachment Bates Number; and Source/Custodian (if reasonably available).

De-Duplication

In the interest of reducing document production costs, the Parties are not required to produce exact duplicates of electronic documents stored in different electronic locations. 11. Use of Native Files in Deposition

For documents produced in native format with placeholder images, the parties should attach a print-out of the placeholder image bearing the document Bates number to a print-out of the native file for use as a deposition exhibit. IV. ELECTRONIC SEARCHES A. To the extent required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local

Rules, the Parties agree to conduct reasonable searches for reasonably accessible sources including, but not limited to, e-mail and non-email electronic documents on active e-mail accounts and archived e-mail accounts stored on active computer networks, desktop computers, laptop computers, servers, hard drives, workstations, and available electronic storage media (such as CDs, DVDs, portable hard drives, and USB drives).
