`

`
`and through its undersigned counsel, Samuel F. Miller and Micheline Kelly Johnson of Baker,
`
`Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell and Berkowitz, P.C., and hereby responds to Petitioner Jeffrey
`
`Kaplan's ("Kaplan") First Set of Written Interrogatories to Registrant.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`1.
`
`Insight’s responses and objections are made solely for the purpose of this action.
`
`Each response is subject to all objections as to competence, relevance, materiality, propriety and
`
`admissibility, and any and all other objections and grounds that would require the exclusion of
`
`any statement contained herein if made by any witness present and testifying in court or
`
`arbitration. All such objections and grounds are reserved and may be interposed at the time of
`
`trial or arbitration.
`
`2.
`
`The following responses are based upon infonnation presently available to Insight
`
`based upon a reasonably diligent investigation. Except for explicit facts admitted herein, no
`
`N SFM 812386 V3
`29l 8064-000003 03/24/2011
`
`l
`
`
`
`incidental or implied admissions are intended hereby. The fact that Insight has answered all or
`
`part of any interrogatory is not intended and shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
`
`objection to any interrogatory.
`
`Insight reserves the right
`
`to supplement or modify these
`
`responses based upon the discovery of additional or different information.
`
`3.
`
`Insight objects to the extent that the interrogatories seek to impose duties or
`
`requirements in addition to any requirements imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
`
`including, but not limited to, any instructions for answering. By answering these interrogatories,
`
`Insight does not agree to abide by any such additional instructions or requirements.
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`Insight objects to Kaplan’s "Definitions" section in its entirety.
`
`Insight objects to any interrogatory to the extent that it seeks information and/or
`
`documents protected by the attomey-client privilege and/or the work product doctrine.
`
`6.
`
`Insight objects to these interrogatories in their entirety to the extent that they seek
`
`infonnation and/or documents not in the possession, custody, or control of Insight on the grounds
`
`that such interrogatories are overly broad and unduly burdensome, and constitute annoyance,
`
`harassment, and oppression.
`
`7.
`
`Insight conducted the search for infonnation and documentation in connection
`
`with Petitioner's First Set of Written Interrogatories with the necessary degree of diligence to
`
`locate responsive information and documents,
`
`in locations where responsive documents are
`
`likely to exist.
