must contact the attorneys for the government to determine, with the
assistance of the appropriate government technical staff, whether and in

information are stored, to explain to Department representatives the manner in which the
documents or information are stored, and the types of information that are available on the
electronic source. Department representatives must approve the format and production method
for electronic data in advance of the submission by the company of its response to this Request.

search terms used, along with a glossary of industry and company terminology. In addition,
describe the search methodologies and the applications used to execute the search.
- Any documents that are withheld in whole or in part from production based on a
claim of privilege shall be assigned document control numbers (with unique consecutive
numbers for each page of each document); for purposes of this instruction, each attachment to a
document shall be treated as a separate document and separately logged, if withheld, and cross
referenced, if produced. The company shall also provide a statement of the claim of privilege
and all facts relied upon in support of the decision to withhold each document, in the form of a
log that conforms with the requirements set forth below. The company is encouraged to propose

recipient identified on the company's privilege log.
- All attorneys acting in a legal capacity with respect to the withheld
document or communication, and only such attorneys, shall be
identified on the privilege log with an asterisk.
- The description of the subject matter of each document shall
describe the nature of the document in a manner that, though not
revealing information that is itself privileged, provides sufficiently
detailed information to enable the Department to assess the
applicability of the privilege claimed.
- For each document withheld under a claim that it constitutes or
contains attorney work product, also state whether the company
asserts that the document was prepared in anticipation of litigation
or for trial and, if so, identify the anticipated litigation or trial upon
which the assertion is based.
- Produce all nonprivileged portions of any responsive document
(including nonprivileged or redactable attachments) for which a
claim of privilege is asserted, except where the only nonprivileged
information in the document has already been produced. Note
where any redactions in the document have been made.
- The privilege log shall be produced in both hard-copy and
electronic form, the electronic form of which shall be both
searchable and sortable.
- Documents sent solely between counsel for the company, including
in-house counsel acting solely in a legal capacity, and documents
authored by the company's outside counsel that were not directly
or indirectly furnished to any third party, such as internal law firm
memoranda, may be omitted from the privilege log. However, any
attachments to such documents must be included on the privilege
log (if a privilege is applicable to such materials), unless such
attachments are addressed and sent solely to counsel.
- If the company is unable to answer any question fully, supply such information as
is available. Explain why such answer is incomplete, the efforts made by the company to obtain
the information, and the source from which the complete answer may be obtained. If books and
records that provide accurate answers are not available, enter best estimates and describe how the
estimates were derived, including the sources or bases of such estimates. Estimated data should
be followed by the notation "est." If there is no reasonable way for the company to make an
estimate, provide an explanation.
- If documents responsive to a particular specification no longer exist for reasons
other than the ordinary course of business or the implementation of the company's document
retention policy, state the circumstances under which they were lost or destroyed, describe the
documents to the fullest extent possible, state the specification(s) to which they are responsive,
and identify persons having knowledge of the content of such documents.
- In order for the company's response to this Request to be complete, the attached
certification form must be executed by the official supervising compliance with this Request,
notarized, and submitted along with the responsive materials.
Any questions you have relating to the scope or meaning of anything in this Request or

CERTIFICATION
As required by § 803.6 of the implementing rules for the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, this response to the Request for Additional Information and
Documentary Material, together with any and all appendices and attachments thereto, was
prepared and assembled under my supervision in accordance with instructions issued by the
Department of Justice. Subject to the recognition that, where so indicated, reasonable estimates
have been made because books and records do not provide the required information, the
information is, to the best of my knowledge, true, correct, and complete in accordance with the
statute and rules.
Where copies rather than original documents have been submitted, the copies are true, correct,
and complete. If the Department uses such copies in any court or administrative proceeding, the
company will not object based on the Department not offering the original document.
