`
`REQUEST NO. 1:
`All documents and communications relating to or reflecting the relationship between You
`and PersonalWeb, including, but not limited to, any proposed or actual equity or capital
`contributions made by You to PersonalWeb, any funds provided that PersonalWeb is obligated to

`
`Europlay further objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks production of documents
`protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product doctrine and the joint
`interest privilege, and documents reflecting such counsel's mental impressions, conclusions,
`opinions, or legal theories. In this regard, Europlay is in the business of litigation support and
`consultation; thus with the exception of its role as a secured creditor of PersonalWeb, the vast
`majority of its communications regarding the subject of this Request are in the context of
`providing such services.
`Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Europlay responds as follows: In
`accordance with the scope and limitations of the Order after conducting a reasonably diligent
`search, Europlay will produce the responsive documents within its possession, custody, or control
`including electronic communications such as email, as well as a privilege log reflecting any
`documents or communications withheld under a claim of privilege or protection.

`PersonalWeb or its affiliates, on the one hand, and Amazon or its affiliates, on the other including
`but not limited to the merits of the claims; Amazon’s claim for fees in this Action; and post-
`judgment discovery in this Action.
`RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 2:
`Europlay objects to this Request under FRCP 45(d)(1), (2)(ii) on the grounds that, when
`combined with the definitions, it is overly broad, burdensome and oppressive, and vague.

`RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 4:
`Europlay objects to this Request under FRCP 45(d)(1), (2)(ii) on the grounds that, apart

`Request, after a reasonably diligent search, it has no responsive documents.

`RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 5:
`Europlay objects to this Request under FRCP 45(d)(1), (2)(ii) on the grounds that, apart
`from documents comprising or communications specifically referring to said Notes, when

`"relating to."
`Europlay further objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks production of documents
`protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product doctrine and the joint
`interest privilege, and documents reflecting such counsel's mental impressions, conclusions,
`opinions, or legal theories. In this regard, Europlay is in the business of litigation support and

`Holdings Pty Ltd. or SAM or SAM Ventures, relating to the Collateral, including but not limited
`to: (a) discussions of the past, present, or future value of the Collateral; (b) any fairness opinions;
`and (c) any appraisals or valuations undertaken to asses, calculate, opine, or evaluate the value of
`the Collateral.
`RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 9:
`Europlay objects to this Request under FRCP 45(d)(1), (2)(ii) on the grounds that, apart
`from documents and communications specifically within the specified categories (a), (b) and (c),
`when combined with the definitions, it is overly broad, burdensome and oppressive, and vague
`including with respect to the term "relating to."
`Europlay further objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks production of documents
`protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product doctrine and the joint
`interest privilege, and documents reflecting such counsel's mental impressions, conclusions,
`opinions, or legal theories. In this regard, Europlay is in the business of litigation support and
`consultation; thus with the exception of its role as a secured creditor of PersonalWeb, the vast
`majority of its communications regarding the subject of this Request are in the context of
`providing such services.
`Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections, Europlay responds as follows: In
`accordance with the scope and limitations of the Order, after conducting a reasonably diligent

`search, Europlay will produce the responsive documents within its possession, custody, or control
`including electronic communications such as email, as well as a privilege log reflecting any
`documents or communications withheld under a claim of privilege or protection.
`REQUEST NO. 10:
`All documents relating to Your interests in any litigations, including intellectual property
`litigations, not included in the Collateral.
`RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 10:
`Europlay objects to this Request under FRCP 45(d)(1), (2)(ii) on the grounds that it is
`overly broad and vague, including with respect to the term "Your interests" and because that it is
`not on its face limited as to time and scope and including with respect to the term "relating to."
`Europlay further objects to this Request as exceedingly overbroad, burdensome and as
`calling for documents not relevant to PersonalWeb or Amazon's post-judgment collection efforts.
`As stated, Europlay is a litigation consultant, advisor and service firm and in the investment and
`fund management business and its personnel sit on numerous boards of directors, all for its
`numerous clients who have no relationship with PersonalWeb and Europlay is itself a party to a
`number of litigation cases. Many of such cases involve settlements or other resolutions that by
`agreement are subject to confidentiality clauses. Europlay further objects to this Request to the
`extent that production of the requested records violates the financial privacy rights of Europlay
`and/or its officers, directors, employees, and/or members. Europlay will not separately produce or
`log any documents relating to such matters but will meet and confer with Amazon to discuss the
`relevance, if any, of such matters.
`Europlay further objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks production of documents
`protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney work product doctrine and the joint
`interest privilege, and documents reflecting such counsel's mental impressions, conclusions,
`opinions, or legal theories. In this regard, Europlay is in the business of litigation support and
