CURRENT DEADLINE (All Defendants)

Plaintiff will determine which January 8, 2010 of Defendants' modules (or portions of Defendants' systems), if any, contain Source Code that it contends in good faith should be produced. Plaintiff will identify these modules (or portions of Defendants' systems) in writing to Defendants on or before January 8, 2010. Plaintiff's identification of modules (or portions of Defendants' systems) shall not constitute an admission as to which modules (or portions of Defendants' systems) are relevant to the case, but rather shall merely identify the modules (or portions of Defendants' systems) as to which, as of that date, Plaintiff believes in good faith it needs access to Source Code. Defendants reserve the right to object to any such identification from Plaintiff. At that time, the parties will attempt in good faith to agree on reasonable limits as to the manner, location, and quantity with regard to printing of any of the production.
