`Todd,
`I don’t understand your question, can you clarify?
`The approximately 2,500 recent documents SAM transmitted resulting from the search terms below were new
`documents not previously transmitted to PersonalWeb. SAM did not review the documents that resulted from the
`below searches, but transmitted the results in their entirety to PersonalWeb to review.

`
`Did SAM run the additional search terms across the entire collected data set and review and produce the results? Your
`message makes it sound like they ran them only across the materials they had already designated for production.

`Chris,
`
`SAM represented to me that the most recent documents it transmitted to Lewis Roca (approximately 2,500 documents)
`were the result of the following (direct quotes from Michael Sherman of SAM):
`
`
`These documents do include some number of documents being furnished you that fall within Boolean searches
`in what Amazon had dubbed “additional search terms”.
`The categories that Amazon had referred to as the “additional search terms” are:
`(3) judgment w/5 (adverse or fee! or “attorney fees” or “attorney’s fees” or “attorneys’ fees” or sanction or
`cost! or 285 or PersonalWeb or “Personal Web” or PWeb or PW)
`(4) (asset! or capital! or patent!) w/5 (fee! or cost! or sanction! or 285 or protect! or insulate or receiver!)
`(5) (note! or loan! or invest! Or pay!) w/5 (“Brilliant Digital” or BDE or Claria or Europlay or ECA or Monto or
`Topodia or creditor!)
`(6) (PWeb) w/5 (“set‐up” or establish! or organiz! or purpose or structur! or protect! or insulate or
`receiver!)
`I am told that documents we had previously furnished you did include search results that pulled some of these
`categories 3‐6. The link provides more documents that fall within these categories.
`
`
`Mr. Sherman also stated that SAM searched these categories without an end‐date restriction.

`Chris,
`
`It looks like we have about 2,700 documents from SAM to review from their two most recent transmissions.
`
`As to the eight hard drives recently disclosed by SAM, they appear to comprise Michael Weiss’ collection of
`PersonalWeb’s ESI in the summer of 2019 that he then transmitted to SAM. Weiss has confirmed that he has maintained
`a strict litigation hold on these repositories since summer 2019, and the data we collected this year would have captured
`everything that is in the eight hard drives. We are working with a vendor to confirm, but we do not expect that the
`documents contained in the eight hard drives will require our review or additional production.
`
`SAM has represented that it will transmit its physical files to my office soon. I have demanded that SAM provide all of its
`documents so that PersonalWeb has sufficient time to review and produce all of its documents for PersonalWeb to
`comply with the January 20, 2023 deadline.
`
`Please advise if you still want to meet and confer this afternoon.
`
`Best,
`Patrick

`Thank you, Patrick. As you well know, the Court ordered PersonalWeb to complete compliance with its
`order by January 20th, not merely to produce the withheld privilege screen documents by then. Your
