Supplement at trial or on any appeal, the party must confer with the producing non-party and confirm that the procedures established under Paragraph 1 of the Protective Order are acceptable to the non-party with respect to the protection afforded the non-party's documents. Should those procedures not be acceptable to the non-party, then the parties and relevant non-party must meet and confer in good faith to establish reasonable protections for the non-party's documents at trial or on appeal. 4. Regarding Paragraph 7(e), the parties planning to use at deposition a document

produced by a non-party and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" agree to provide notice 24 hours in advance of the deposition to the relevant non-party. The party and relevant non-party agree to work in good faith to resolve any potential issues regarding the use of such documents. The party may not use the document(s) designated as "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" in the deposition until a resolution is reached. Nothing in the Protective Order or this Addendum shall prevent or restrict a party from using a document produced by a non-party and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" at a deposition (i) of a witness who prepared, sent or received such document or (ii) of a witness designated as an expert witness for the purpose of this action. 5. For purposes of this Order, "Source Code Material" means source code, scripts,

assembly, source code listings, object code, object code listings, descriptions of source code or object code, information from which source code could be derived, and Hardware Description Language (HDL) or Register Transfer Level (RTL) files that describe the hardware design of any ASIC or other chip.

If a party or non-party believes Discovery Material (as defined in Paragraph 2 of

the Protective Order) includes Source Code Material, that party or non-party may designate the Discovery Material as "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE." If a party or nonparty produces Discovery Material that includes Source Code Material that it did not designate RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE but later wishes to so designate, it shall be entitled to do so, provided that the party or non-party provides notice to the receiving party. 7. Any disputes regarding designation of Discovery Material as "RESTRICTED

CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE" shall be governed by Paragraph 10 of the Protective Order. 8. Unless otherwise ordered by this Court or agreed to in writing by the producing

party or non-party, Discovery Material designated RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE shall be used by the parties only in the litigation of this action, shall not be used for any other purpose (including without limitation any other litigation, patent prosecution or acquisition, or any business or competitive purpose or function), and shall not be revealed to any person except as provided by this Supplement.

conjunction with any written (including email) notice requesting inspection. All persons viewing Source Code Computer shall, each day they view Source Code Computer, sign a log that will include the names of persons who enter the locked room to view the Source Code Computer and when they enter and depart.

The receiving party must provide the producing party or non-party with the CD or DVD containing such software tool(s) at least five (5) business days in advance of the date upon which the receiving party wishes to have the additional software tools available for use on the Source Code Computer. (iii) In order to verify that its source code has not later been altered, the

producing party or non-party may benchmark the materials before they are provided, but shall not install any keystroke or other monitoring software on the Source Code Computer. (iv) The receiving party's Outside Counsel or Experts shall be entitled

permission from the producing party or non-party, the receiving party's Outside Counsel or Outside Expert may not create electronic images, or any other images, or make electronic copies, of the Source Code Material from any paper copy of Source Code Material for use in any manner (including by way of example only, the receiving party's Outside Counsel or Outside Expert may not scan the Source Code Material to a PDF or photograph the code), except in the preparation of trial or hearing exhibits. If a party reasonably believes that it needs to include a portion of Source Code Material as part of a trial or hearing exhibit, the exhibit shall be marked as "RESTRICTED " and shall at all times be limited solely to individuals who are expressly authorized to view Source Code Material under the provisions of this Order unless and until the parties have met and conferred about the use of that trial or hearing exhibit in the presence of individuals who are not authorized to view Source Code Material. Source Code Material may not be transported or transmitted electronically over a network of any kind, including a LAN, an intranet, or the Internet. (j) Images or copies of Source Code Material shall not be included in

correspondence between the parties (references to production numbers shall be used instead), and shall be omitted from pleadings and other papers whenever possible. If a party reasonably believes that it needs to submit a portion of Source Code Material as part of a filing with the Court, the Source Code Material shall be filed under seal pursuant to the Local Rules of the Supplement to Stipulated Protective Order 9
