`
`The Designating Party shall make all relevant Source Code available
`
`electronically and in text searchable form in its native format and in a file
`
`structure that mirrors the file structure of the Source Code as maintained
`
`by the Designating Party. Source Code shall be made available for
`
`inspection by a producing party on two “stand-alone” computers (that is,
`
`not connected to a network, internet, or peripheral device except that the
`
`stand-alone computers may be connected to a non-networked printer or

`
`
`printers) running the Windows 8 operating system. The parties will make
`
`electronic source code available for inspection in computer searchable
`
`format. Furthermore, each “stand-alone” computer shall have a copy of
`
`Microsoft Visual Studio, Understand C, and grep installed thereon.
`
`Persons inspecting electronic source code may use any search features that
`
`are part of Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Visual Studio. The Source
`
`Code may not be compiled by the Requesting Party.
`
`b.
`
`Should the Receiving Party make a request, other mutually agreed upon
`
`tools may be used. Licensed copies of other mutually agreed upon tool
`
`software shall be installed on the Source Code Computer by the
`
`Designating Party
`
`c.
`
`The Producing Party will allow printing of paper copies of code at the
`
`time of inspection by the Requesting Party. The Producing Party shall put
`
`production numbers and the designation ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY -
`
`SOURCE CODE on the printouts. After three (3) business days, two
`
`copies of the printouts (i.e., the original printout and one additional copy
`
`made by the Designating Party) shall be provided to the Receiving Party
`
`via a reasonably quick and secure delivery method. The Receiving Party
`
`shall print only a reasonable number of pages of code, and the Producing
`
`Party may seek to modify the Protective Order to terminate or limit the
`
`right to print if the Receiving Party attempts to print more than is
`
`reasonable. Printouts must be kept under lock and key or secured
`
`otherwise by a person who has entered an appearance as outside counsel

`or been cleared as an expert. Paper copies may not be converted into
`
`electronic format (including for emailing) EXCEPT as needed for filing
`
`and service of papers, motions, and pleadings as required by the Court,
`
`made under seal. Paper copies of code may not be removed from a
`
`secured container unless in a secured, private area. Paper copies of code
`
`may not themselves be copied by the Receiving Party, except that paper
`
`copies of the source code may be copied and used as exhibits for a
`
`deposition, expert report, motion, or trial, provided that such copies are
`
`kept within a secure container during transport to and from deposition,
`
`trial, or service, and are otherwise kept in a secure container at the offices
`
`of outside counsel of record or at the office of an expert approved under
`
`this Protective Order. Any printed source code filed with the Court shall
`
`be filed under seal as provided in paragraph 32. Only those individuals
`
`authorized and identified in paragraph 14 (i.e. outside counsel of record,
`
`and identified experts/consultants, or the Court) shall be allowed to access
`
`printed source code. At the time of its first expert reports, the Requesting
`
`Party shall provide to the Producing Party a copy of all Bates numbered
`
`pages of electronic source code received under this provision, regardless
`
`of any other restrictions on expert discovery.
`
`d.
`
`Paper copies of Source Code must include Bates number and
`
`confidentiality labels when printed, but the producing party shall not
`
`undertake any effort to track or otherwise determine which pages of code
`
`have been printed. The Designating Party may not videotape or otherwise

`
`The Designating Party must provide access to the Source Code Computer
`
`under the same conditions and with the same limitations and restrictions as
`
`provided in this section at a site in Tyler, Texas beginning one week prior
`
`to the start of trial and continuing through the end of trial. During this
`
`time, the Source Code Computer shall be made available from 7:00 a.m. to
`
`midnight (including during the weekend) on two hours’ notice.

`
`For Microsoft code, Source Code inspection shall take place at a secure
`
`location within the offices of the Producing Party’s outside counsel of
`
`record in Dallas, to be made available, if 24 hours’ notice is given once the
`
`source code computers are set up, from 6 a.m. to midnight local time
`
`Monday through Friday excluding holidays and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. local
`
`time on Saturday and Sunday, excluding holidays. After the Dallas source
`
`code computers are set up, if three business days’ notice is given,
`
`Microsoft simultaneously will set up two stand-alone computers with
`
`Microsoft source code for inspection at a secure location within one other
`
`office of its outside counsel of record (e.g. Silicon Valley) from 6 a.m. to
`
`midnight local time Monday through Friday excluding holidays and from
`
`9 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time on Saturday and Sunday excluding holidays.
`
`Once the stand-alone computers are set up, only 24 hours’ notice will be
`
`required to review the code from 6 a.m. to midnight local time Monday
`
`through Friday, excluding holidays and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time on
`

`
`Producing Party’s outside counsel of record in Dallas, Texas, to be made
`

`
`Sunday, excluding holidays.
`
`g.
`
`The Requesting Party shall make its best efforts to restrict its access to
`
`normal business hours.
`
`h.
`
`As an alternative, any Producing Party may, in its discretion, choose to
`
`produce its source code on CD, DVD, or other storage media as
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE. The Receiving Party
`
`may copy such produced source code from the medium to two, non-
`
`networked, stand-alone computers which must be kept in a secure location
`
`at the offices of the Receiving Parties’ outside counsel of record or at the
`
`offices of an expert approved under this Protective Order. Such source
`
`code must not be copied or transmitted, in whole or in part, to any
`
`computer or location other than the two authorized stand-alone computers.
`
`Whatever restrictions are imposed on the number of pages printed from
`
`electronic source code that is inspected at the Producing Party’s outside
`
`counsel of record’s offices shall also apply to produced source code.
`
`i.
`
`Only those persons identified in paragraph 14 may have access to the
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE. Under no condition
`

`PROSECUTION BAR
`
`25.
`
`Unless otherwise permitted in writing, any individual who personally reviews, other than
`
`on behalf of a Designating Party, any ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE
`
`or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material shall not participate either directly or indirectly
`
`(e.g., by advising) in the drafting or amending of any patent claims relating to the subject
`
`matter of this lawsuit for VirnetX Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Science Applications
`
`International Corporation, or any of their successors in interest, from the time of receipt
`
`or review of such information through and including one (1) year following the entry of a
`
`final non-appealable judgment or order or the complete settlement of all claims against
`
`all parties in this action. For the avoidance of doubt, this bar does not apply to any
`
`person to the extent they are challenging or responding to a challenge to a patent before a
`
`foreign or domestic agency such as the Patent and Trademark Office (e.g., reexamination,
`
`inter partes review) so long as they do not participate either directly or indirectly (e.g., by
`
`advising) in the drafting or amending patent claims on behalf of the patent holder. This
`
`bar only applies to the person reviewing the designated information and not to their entire
`
`firm or company. Information designated CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`ONLY or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE may not be used, directly or
`
`indirectly, in the prosecution of patents for entities other than the producing party.

`
`Use Of Designated Material
`
`28.
`
`Use of Designated Material By Receiving Party. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court,
`
`or agreed to in writing by a Designating Party, all Designated Material, and all
`
`information derived therefrom, shall be used by the Receiving Party only for purposes of
`
`litigation between the Parties in this Action. Designated Material shall not be used for
`
`any business purpose, and shall not be disclosed to any person who is not entitled to
`
`receive such information as herein provided.
`
`29.
`
`The Parties are permitted to cross-use in this case (after production in this case) any and
`
`all documents and things produced in the following prior VirnetX matters before this
`
`Court: Case No. 6:07-CV-80; Case No. 6:10-CV-94. Each Party may also obtain,
`
`subject to treatment as designated, all designated materials in the possession of prior
`
`counsel for such Party in any of the above listed VirnetX matters. The term “documents”
`
`as used in this paragraph 29 includes, but is not limited to, correspondence, memoranda,
`
`notes, pleadings, motions, trial briefs (including all supporting and opposing papers and
`
`exhibits thereto), written discovery requests and responses (and exhibits thereto),
`
`deposition transcripts (and exhibits thereto), trial transcripts, and exhibits offered or

`
`
`introduced into evidence at trial. Nothing in the paragraph is a waiver of any objections
`
`to the production, admissibility or relevance of documents subject to this paragraph.
`
`30.
`
`Information contained or reflected in Designated Material can be disclosed in any hearing
`
`or at trial in this case, and in that event, it is the obligation of the Designating Party to
`
`make an appropriate, timely motion to seal the hearing or trial. Outside Counsel for the
`
`Designating and Receiving Parties may disclose information contained or reflected in
`
`Designated Material to each other, but this disclosure does not waive any confidentiality
`
`and cannot serve as the grounds for challenging the confidentiality designation of such
`
`information.
`
`31.
`
`Except as may be otherwise ordered by the Court, any person may be examined as a
`
`witness at depositions, hearings and trial and may testify concerning all Designated
`
`Material of which such person has prior knowledge as set forth below:
`
`a. A present director, officer, and/or employee of a Producing
`
`Party may be examined at deposition and may testify concerning all
`
`Designated Material which has been produced by that Party;
`
`b. A former director, officer, and/or employee of a Producing
`
`Party may be examined at deposition and may testify concerning all
`
`Designated Material of the Producing Party that established on its face or is
`
`established from other documents or testimony to have been previously
`
`received from or communicated to that person and of which he or she has
`
`prior knowledge, including any Designated Material that refers to matters of
`
`which the witness has personal knowledge, has been produced by that Party,
`
`and pertains to the period or periods of his or her employment; and

`
`
`c. Non-parties may be examined during deposition or testify
`
`concerning any document containing Designated Material of a Producing
`
`Party that appears on its face or from other documents or testimony to have
`
`been received from or communicated to the non-party as a result of any
`
`contact or relationship with the Producing Party, or a representative of such
`
`Producing Party. Any person other than the witness, his or her attorney(s),
`
`and any person qualified to receive Designated Material under this Protective
`
`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.
`
`d. If a witness under sections (b) and (c) above is represented
`
`by an attorney who is not qualified under this Protective Order to receive
`
`Designated Material, then prior to the examination, the attorney shall be
`
`requested to provide a Confidentiality Agreement, in the form of Attachment
`
`A hereto, that he or she will comply with the terms of this Protective Order
`
`and maintain the confidentiality of Designated Material disclosed during the
`
`course of the examination. In the event
