1. The following responses are given without prejudice to responding
2 party's right to produce evidence o f any subsequently discovered documents which this
3- responding party may later locate. Defendant accordingly reserves the right to change any
4 and all responses herein as additional investigation is undertaken, facts are ascertained,
5 analyses are made, legal research is completed and contentions are formulated. The responses
6 contained herein are made in a good faith effort to supply information presently known, but
7 should in no way be to the prejudice of Defendant in relation to further discovery, research or
8 analysis. These responses are made without prejudice to Defendant using or relying on at
9 trial any subsequently discovered documents or information, any evidence or documents not
10 currently existing, or on documents or information omitted from these responses as a result of
11 good faith oversight or error.
12
2. These responses are made solely for purposes o f this action. Each
13 response is subject to all objections as to competence, relevance, materiality, propriety, and
14 admissibility, and to any and all other, objections on any grounds that would require the
15 exclusion from evidence of any statement, if requests were asked of, or any statement

17 objections and grounds are expressly reserved so that these may be made at trial or

24 extent they call for disclosure of information that would invade the privacy o f third persons
25 who are not parties to this litigation.
26
5. Defendant objects to these requests for production, and each of them, to
21 the extent they call for production o f information protected by the trade secrets privilege
