pursuant to Patent Local Rule 3-4. The parties are attempting to resolve disputes regarding the 

form of the protective order to govern the litigation, but it is likely the parties will need to submit 

these disputes to the Court for resolution. Upon entry of a stipulated protective order by the Court, 

the provisions of that protective order shall supercede nunc pro tunc all provisions of this 

stipulation. Oracle and VSi agree as follows:

Paragraph 2 of this Stipulation. 

b. Any source code produced in discovery shall be made available for 

inspection, in a format allowing it to be reasonably reviewed and searched, during normal business 

hours or at other mutually agreeable times. The source code shall be made available for inspection 

on a secured computer in a secured room without Internet access or network access to other 

computers. VSi shall not copy, remove, or otherwise transfer any portion of the source code onto 

any recordable media or recordable device. Oracle shall provide the software reasonably 

necessary to inspect the source code. The initial inspection date shall be agreed upon by VSi and 

Oracle. After the initial inspection, each subsequent inspection shall require three business days 

notice from VSi. 

c. VSi may print portions of the source code on colored paper only when 

reasonably necessary to facilitate VSi's preparation in this Litigation, including, when reasonably 

necessary, to prepare any filing with the Court or to serve any pleadings or other papers on any 

other Party; to prepare internal attorney work product materials; or to prepare other necessary case 

materials such as testifying expert reports, consulting expert written analyses and related drafts

objection known to VSi within three (3) business days. If, after meeting and conferring, Oracle 

and VSi cannot resolve the objection, Oracle shall be entitled to seek a Court resolution, within 

two (2) business days of the meet and confer, of whether the printed source code in question is not 

reasonably necessary to any case preparation activity. In the absence of any objection or a motion 

to the Court following an objection within the specified time limits, or upon resolution of any such
