3. Mr. Schulz may review any pleadings, motions or documents submitted to the Court;

inapplicable to Mr. Schulz;

5. Mr. Schulz will have no contact with any of the parties or their counsel; 

6. The parties would pay the reasonable fees charged by Mr. Schulz for his service as a technical

Judge Lloyd;

7. Mr. Schulz shall file a declaration that he will adhere to the terms of his appointment.
