`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE
`
`VB Assets, LLC,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`Amazon.com Inc., et al.,
`
`Defendants.
`
`C.A. No. 1:19-cv-01410-MN
`
`SECOND ADDENDUM TO PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting Federal, State, and local travel
`
`restrictions and shelter-in-place orders (collectively, “COVID-19 Restrictions”), Plaintiff VB
`
`Assets, LLC and defendants Amazon.com, Inc.; Amazon.com LLC; Amazon Web Services, Inc.;
`
`A2Z Development Center, Inc. d/b/a Lab126; Rawles LLC; AMZN Mobile LLC; AMZN Mobile
`
`2 LLC; Amazon.com Services, Inc. f/k/a Amazon Fulfillment Services, Inc.; and Amazon Digital
`
`Services LLC (collectively, “the parties”) agree to the following additional terms governing
`
`review of Source Code. All source code related terms in the Protective Order (see Dkt. 39, § 2.4)
`
`continue to govern to the extent they are not addressed by this Addendum.
`
`The terms in this Addendum shall remain in effect only so long as COVID-19
`
`Restrictions are in effect at the locations of respective relevant parties, such as the location of the
`
`parties’ respective counsel and source code review consultants and experts. Once the COVID-19
`
`Restrictions in those locations are lifted, however, the Producing Party can, at its sole discretion,
`
`continue (or resume) providing Source Code pursuant to the terms of this Addendum at any time
`
`or provide Source Code pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Protective Order (see Dkt. 39,
`
`§ 2.4).
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-01410-MN Document 54 Filed 08/26/20 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 1066
`
`The Parties’ acknowledge that while the terms below may not reflect the Producing
`
`Party’s normal security protocols, they represent an accommodation in the interest of moving the
`
`case forward during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and in light of applicable COVID-
`
`19 Restrictions and related office closures and travel restrictions. A Party’s agreement to make
`
`Source Code available pursuant to this Addendum shall not be construed as an admission that the
`
`provisions of the Addendum are appropriate in any other case or that these provisions provide an
`
`acceptable level of security for the Producing Party’s Source Code at any other time not affected
`
`by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Addendum may not be cited as an appropriate practice to
`
`follow once the COVID-19 pandemic has passed even if the Producing Party decides to follow
`
`the terms of this Addendum after the COVID-19 Restrictions are lifted because other pandemic-
`
`related issues such as delayed office re-openings may still be experienced.
`
`1.
`
`To the extent a Party elects to make Source Code available for inspection, the
`
`Producing Party shall notify the Receiving Party once any of Producing Party’s Source Code is
`
`available for inspection. Thereafter, the Receiving Party shall provide fourteen (14) days’ notice
`
`that it wishes to inspect Source Code. In the instant case, VoiceBox has already provided notice
`
`that it wishes to inspect Source Code.
`
`2.
`
`Source Code shall be loaded to a computer maintained by the Producing Party or
`
`its outside counsel (the “Source Code Host Machine”).
`
`3.
`
`No later than fourteen (14) days after a request for Source Code inspection, the
`
`Producing Party shall send to the Receiving Party one computer capable of remotely accessing
`
`the Producing Party’s Source Code (the “Remote Review Computer”). The parties will continue
`
`to work together to assure that Amazon sends the Remote Review Computer to VoiceBox’s
`
`source code reviewer John Peck as soon as is practicable and no later than three (3) days after
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-01410-MN Document 54 Filed 08/26/20 Page 3 of 5 PageID #: 1067
`
`this addendum is agreed to by the parties. The Receiving Party may specify whether the Remote
`
`Review Computer shall be sent to the Receiving Party’s outside counsel or instead directly to
`
`one of the Receiving Party’s source code reviewers who is authorized to review source code
`
`under the Protective Order. The Remote Review Computer shall be delivered via overnight
`
`delivery service (e.g., FedEx, UPS, etc.).
`
`4.
`
`The Remote Review Computer shall be a Windows-based laptop computer having
`
`at least 4 gigabytes of memory and a screen with a minimum size of thirteen inches. The
`
`Remote Review Computer shall be capable of connecting to the Source Code Host Machine via a
`
`restricted virtual private network (VPN).
`
`5.
`
`The producing Party shall provide the receiving Party with information explaining
`
`how to start, log on to, and operate the Remote Review Computer. The Producing Party shall
`
`also provide the Receiving Party with any required credentials to connect to the Source Code
`
`Host Machine via VPN.
`
`6.
`
`The Remote Review Computer shall have disk encryption and be password
`
`protected. The Remote Review Computer will either have no peripheral device connectors or
`
`such connectors will be disabled. The use or possession of any electronic input/output device
`
`(e.g., USB memory stick, mobile phone, tablet, personal digital assistants (PDAs), Blackberries,
`
`Dictaphones, voice recorders, external or portable telephone jack, camera or any camera-enabled
`
`device, CD, floppy disk, portable hard drive, laptop, or any device that can access the Internet or
`
`any other network or external system, etc.) is prohibited while accessing Source Code via the
`
`Remote Review Computer. The Producing Party may take appropriate measures, either through
`
`physical modification of the Remote Review Computer, or through modification of software on
`
`the Remote Review Computer, to prevent the use of such electronic input/output devices in
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-01410-MN Document 54 Filed 08/26/20 Page 4 of 5 PageID #: 1068
`
`conjunction with the Remote Review Computer and to prevent copying, duplicating, pasting,
`
`printing or any other duplication of the source code.
`
`7.
`
`The Producing Party may log all connections to the Source Code Host Machine.
`
`The Producing Party may also terminate the secure connection to the Source Code Host Machine
`
`after 30 minutes of inactivity on the Remote Review Computer connected to the Source Code
`
`Host Machine.
`
`8.
`
`The Receiving Party shall provide to the Producing Party a list of any individuals
`
`who access Source Code via the Remote Review Computer and the date and approximate time(s)
`
`of such review.
`
`9.
`
`The receiving Party may request paper copies (“Source Code Printouts”) of
`
`limited portions of the Source Code. The Source Code Printouts, including any applicable
`
`printing limits, shall be governed by the provisions of the Protective Order, except as expressly
`
`modified herein. To ensure the proper pages requested by the Receiving Party are printed, the
`
`Producing Party shall provide the ability for the Receiving Party to save relevant files for
`
`printing as PDFs (preserving the line numbers and formatting using a program such as
`
`Notepad++) to a folder located on the Source Code Host Computer.
`
`10.
`
`At the conclusion of any Source Code Review, the Receiving Party shall notify
`
`the Producing Party of the existence of Source Code Printouts that it requests to be produced.
`
`Thereafter, Source Code Printouts shall be produced in accordance with the provisions of the
`
`Protective Order.
`
`11.
`
`The Producing Party shall install tools on the Remote Review Computer and/or
`
`Source Code Host Computer, which will allow counsel and experts to view, search, or analyze
`
`the Source Code; provided that such utilities are reasonable, reasonably available to the
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-01410-MN Document 54 Filed 08/26/20 Page 5 of 5 PageID #: 1069
`
`Producing Party, and non-destructive to the source code. The Receiving Party may request that
`
`other mutually-agreeable commercially available software tools for viewing and searching
`
`Source Code be installed on the Remote Review Computer, provided, however, that 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 Receiving Party must provide the
`
`Producing Party with a licensed copy of the relevant software, whether using a CD, DVD, or in
`
`the case of software accessible over the internet, relevant keys or information to legally access
`
`reasonably in advance of any scheduled Source Code Review.
