`
`challenged individual until and unless a final ruling allowing such disclosure is made by this Court,
`
`or by the consent of the Objecting Party, whichever occurs first. If the Objecting Party fails to file

`
`USE AT DEPOSITION
`
`7 .1
`
`A present director, officer, agent, employee, designated Rule 30(b )( 6)
`
`witness, and/or Outside Consultant of a Producing Party may be shown at deposition and examined
`
`on all Designated Material that has been produced by that Party;
`
`7.2
`
`A former director, officer, agent and/or employee of a Producing Party may
`
`be shown at deposition and examined on all Designated Material that has been produced by that
`
`Party and that the Receiving Party's Outside Counsel reasonably and in good faith believes to have
`
`been received by the witness previously or that refers to matters within the witness's personal
`
`knowledge pertaining to the period or periods of his or her employment, engagement, or
`
`relationship with the Producing Party;
`
`7.3
`
`Non-parties may be shown at deposition and examined on any document
`
`containing Designated Material of a Producing Party that appears on its face, or which the
`
`Receiving Party's Outside Counsel reasonably and in good faith believes based on other
`
`documents or testimony, to have been received from or communicated to the non-party. Any
`
`person other than the witness, his or her attorney( s ), and any person qualified to receive Designated
`
`Material under this Order, shall be excluded from the portion of the examination concerning such
`
`information, unless the Producing Party consents to persons other than qualified recipients being
`
`present at the examination. If the witness is represented by an attorney who is not qualified under
`
`this Order to receive such information, then prior to the examination, the attorney shall be
`
`requested to sign the "Acknowledgement and Agreement To Be Bound By Protective Order"
`
`attached as Exhibit A. In the event that such attorney declines to sign the Acknowledgement and
`
`10
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-00454-RGA Document 53 Filed 02/22/17 Page 11 of 36 PageID #: 2518
`
`Agreement To Be Bound By Protective Order prior to the examination, the parties, by their
`
`attorneys, shall jointly seek a protective order from the Court prohibiting such attorney from
`
`disclosing such Designated Material.
`
`7.4
`
`A witness who previously had access
`
`to a document designated
`
`"CONFIDENTIAL," "CONFIDENTIAL-- OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY," or "RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE" but who is not under a present non-disclosure agreement
`
`with the Producing Party that covers that document, may be shown the document at deposition if
`
`the witness is advised on the record of the existence of the Protective Order and that the protective
`
`order requires the parties to keep confidential any questions, testimony or documents that are
`
`designated as "CONFIDENTIAL," "CONFIDENTIAL-- OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY," or
`
`"RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL- SOURCE CODE." The witnesses may not copy, take notes
`
`on or retain copies of any Designated Material used or reviewed at the deposition. The witness
`
`may not take out of the deposition room any exhibit that is marked "CONFIDENTIAL",
`
`"CONFIDENTIAL-- OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY" or "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`SOURCE CODE". The Producing Party of any Designated Material used at the deposition may
`
`also require that the transcript and exhibits not be copied by a witness who is not subject to this
`
`Order or his counsel who is not subject to this Order, that no notes may be made of the transcript
`
`or the exhibits, and that the transcript and exhibits may only be reviewed by the witness in the
`
`offices of one of the counsel representing a party in this case (or another firm acting for one of the
`
`counsel representing a party in this case and under the supervision of one of the lawyers who is
`
`bound by the terms of this Order).
`
`7 .5
`
`Except as may be otherwise ordered by the Court, and without limitation as
`
`to any of the other provisions of this section, any person may be examined as a witness by
`
`11
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-00454-RGA Document 53 Filed 02/22/17 Page 12 of 36 PageID #: 2519
`
`deposition, and may testify concerning all Designated Material of which such person has prior
`
`knowledge.
`
`7.6
`
`Notwithstanding any sub-Section of this Section 7, no copies of Designated
`
`Material may be provided to any deponent or trial witness other than for purposes of the
`
`examination without the written consent of the Producing Party.
`
`8.
`
`PRODUCTION OF SOUBCE CODE. To the extent any Party's Source Code is
`
`relevant and discoverable in this Action, this Section shall govern the production of Source Code
`
`in this Action. The provision of this section shall also be available for the production of Source
`
`Code by non-parties, however, such production may be governed by a supplemental confidentiality
`
`order negotiated between the Receiving Party and the non-party.
`
`8.1
`
`Source Code designated as "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE" shall be made available for the Receiving Party's inspection.
`
`(a)
`
`Source Code designated as "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE" shall be maintained by the Producing Party and made available for inspection by the
`
`Receiving Party only on a single stand-alone computer (that is, a computer not connected to any
`
`network, the Internet, or any peripheral device other than a keyboard, mouse, and monitor) and
`
`produced in electronic and searchable form in a manner consistent with how the code being
`
`produced is maintained in the ordinary course of business (e.g. with folder hierarchies preserved).
`
`Any reasonable request for production of Source Code on additional stand-alone computers shall
`
`be considered in good faith and not be unreasonably withheld.
`
`(b)
`
`The stand-alone computer shall be maintained in a secured location at the
`
`offices of the Producing Party's outside counsel or at the offices of the Producing Party, access to
`
`which shall be controlled by reasonable physical (e.g., locked doors) and electronic (e.g., password
`
`12
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-00454-RGA Document 53 Filed 02/22/17 Page 13 of 36 PageID #: 2520
`
`or other access provisions) security measures. Use of any input/output device (e.g., USB memory
`
`stick, CDs, floppy disk, portable hard drive, etc.) is prohibited while accessing the computer
`
`containing the Source Code, and the Receiving Party shall not attempt to use any peripheral device
`
`of any kind (other than the keyboard, mouse, and monitor provided by the Producing Party) with
`
`the stand-alone computer, nor shall the Receiving Party attempt to install any software on the
`
`stand-alone computer.
`
`(c)
`
`The Producing Party shall install tools and software that are sufficient for
`
`viewing and searching the code produced on the platform produced, including any tools provided
`
`by the Receiving Party in accordance with the provisions and restrictions of sub-paragraph ( d) of
`
`this section.
`
`(d)
`
`The Receiving Party's outside counsel and/or experts may request that
`
`additional commercially available software tools for viewing and searching Source Code be
`
`installed on the secured computer, provided, however, that (a) the Receiving Party possesses an
`
`appropriate license to such software tools; (b) the Producing Party approves such software tools;
`
`and (c) such other software tools are reasonably necessary for the Receiving Party to perform its
`
`review of the Source Code consistent with all of the protections herein. The Producing Party may
`
`notify the Receiving Party that it declines to install any requested inspection software if the
`
`software represents any unreasonable risk of compromising security of the source code or the
`
`Source Code Computer, or the software could be used for any other illegitimate purpose in
`
`contravention of the Protective Order. Within 3 days of such notification by the Producing Party,
`
`the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to attempt to resolve the issue. If the parties cannot
`
`resolve the issue, the Producing Party may bring a motion to the Court, but the pendency of the
`
`motion will not be used as a basis to withhold access by the Receiving Party of the source code for
`
`13
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-00454-RGA Document 53 Filed 02/22/17 Page 14 of 36 PageID #: 2521
`
`review using other tools. For emphasis, it should be noted that the tools for reviewing source code
`
`may not be used to circumvent the protections of this Protective Order in any way.
`
`(e)
`
`The foregoing terms do not foreclose the Receiving Party from seeking the
`
`production of source code in different formats or foreclose the Producing Party from seeking
`
`additional protections or a protective order. The parties will meet and confer promptly and in good
`
`faith in such circumstances.
`
`8.2
`
`Inspection of Source Code shall be permitted during regular business hours
`
`(weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at law firms) although the Parties will be reasonable in
`
`accommodating requests to conduct inspections at other times.
`
`8.3
`
`At the Producing Party's selection, the secure location will be at an office
`
`of the Producing Party's Counsel of Record or at the offices of the Producing Party. The Producing
`
`Party shall also be entitled to have a person who is not an attorney monitor the Receiving Party's
`
`activities in the source code viewing room, but only to ensure compliance with the provisions of
`
`this Order governing source code. The person who monitors the review of source code cannot be
`
`unreasonably close in proximity to the Reviewing Party's counsel and consultants/experts such
`
`that he or she can listen to conversations between the Reviewing Party's counsel and experts, and
`
`is prohibited from engaging in any conduct that interferes with the review. The Producing Party
`
`will make a separate, private room available for the Receiving Party to confer or talk on the phone.
`
`8.4
`
`No person shall copy, e-mail,
`
`transmit, upload, download, print,
`
`photograph, or otherwise duplicate any portion of Source Code, or documents or things designated
`
`"RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE," except as follows:
`
`(a)
`
`The Receiving Party may request a reasonable number of pages of
`
`Source Code to be printed. A reasonable number of pages means no more than 250 pages of Source

`
`Code per game, and in any case, no more than 35 contiguous pages of Source Code, on 8.5" x 11"
`
`paper with a font no smaller than Courier l 2pt. The parties agree to negotiate printing beyond these
`
`page limits in good faith should the need arise. The Producing Party shall provide a printer with
`
`water-marked
`
`(or colored), bates-number paper with
`
`the
`
`legend
`
`"RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE" such that the Receiving Party can print the source code
`
`during the review. After the Receiving Party has completed its review and printing for the day, the
`
`Receiving Party shall provide the print-outs to the Producing Party for review. In the instance of a
`
`multiple day review, the Producing Party shall maintain copies printed during the course of the
`
`review until the conclusion of the review. The printed pages shall constitute part of the source code
`
`produced by the Producing Party in this action. If there is no objection, within three (3) business
`
`days, the Producing Party shall provide the print-outs to the Receiving Party. If the Producing
`
`Party has any objection to the print-outs, the Producing Party must object in writing within three
`
`(3) business days from receiving the print-outs from the Receiving Party. If no resolution can be
`
`reached, the Producing Party must file a motion for Protective Order with the Court no later than
`
`five (7) business days from receiving the print-outs from the Receiving Party.
`
`(b)
`
`Any printed pages of Source Code, and any other documents or
`
`things designated as "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL- SOURCE CODE," may be photocopied,
`
`but not digitally imaged, e-mailed, transmitted, uploaded, downloaded, photographed, or otherwise
`
`duplicated, to be provided to Outside Consultants. Apart from such photocopies, any printed pages
`
`of Source Code, and any other documents or things designated as "RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE," may not be copied, digitally imaged, e- mailed,
`
`transmitted, uploaded, downloaded, photographed, or otherwise duplicated, except in limited

`
`excerpts necessary to prepare as exhibits to depositions, expert reports, court filings, or court
`
`presentations.
`
`( c)
`
`A Receiving Party that wants to use any Source Code, or other
`
`documents or things designated as "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE," at a
`
`deposition may, no earlier than 72 hours prior to any such deposition, make only as many copies,
`
`and only of the specific pages, as it intends to actually use at the deposition. For any RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE material used as a deposition exhibit, the exhibit shall be
`
`identified on the record, by Bates number or otherwise. The Receiving Party shall retain the
`
`original of any such exhibit and shall provide a copy of the original exhibit to the Producing Party
`
`at the conclusion of the deposition. No source code Exhibits shall be retained by the Court reporter
`
`at the conclusion of the deposition or appended to the transcript by the Court Reporter. At the
`
`conclusion of the deposition, the Producing Party will collect and shred any other copies of the
`
`source code that may have been distributed at the deposition, with the exception of the Parties'
`
`working copy(ies).
`
`( d)
`
`A Receiving Party that wants to file or otherwise submit any Source
`
`Code, or other documents or things designated as "RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE," to the Court in connection with a filing may, no earlier than 72 hours prior to the relevant
`
`filing, make only as many copies, and only of the specific pages as needed, for submission to the
`
`Court and shall file any and all such copies of the materials with an application to file under seal.
`
`Unless agreed to by the Producing Party, images or copies of source code shall not be included in
`
`correspondence between the parties.
`
`8.5
`
`Any paper copies, documents, or things designated "RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL- SOURCE CODE" shall be stored or viewed only at (i) the offices of Counsel

`

`
`The Producing Party may maintain a Source Code Access Log identifying,
`
`for each and every time any Source Code is viewed, or accessed at the secure location: (1) the
`
`name of each person who accessed the Source Code; (2) the date and time of access; (3) the length
`
`of time of access; and ( 4) describing any photocopying or printing of Source Code (e.g. what was
`
