matters involving similar or corresponding information about a competitor. This means that I do not, for example, provide advice concerning, or participate in decisions about, marketing or advertising strategies, product research and development, product design or competitive structuring and composition of bids, offers, or proposals with respect to which the use of protected information could provide a competitive advantage. 5. I [outside counsel only] identify here (by writing "none" or listing names and relevant circumstances) those attorneys in my firm who, to the best of my knowledge, cannot make the representations set forth in the preceding paragraph: ______________________________________________________________________________ 6. I identify here (by writing "none" or listing names, position, and responsibilities) any member of my immediate family who is an officer or holds a management position with an interested party in the proceeding or with any other firm that might gain a competitive advantage from access to the information disclosed under the Protective Order. ______________________________________________________________________________ 7. I identify here (by writing "none" or identifying the name of the forum, case number, date, and circumstances) instances in which I have been denied admission to a protective order, had admission revoked, or have been found to have violated a protective order issued by any administrative or judicial tribunal: ______________________________________________________________________________ 8. I [inside counsel] have attached a detailed narrative providing the following information: a. my position and responsibilities as in-house counsel, including my role in providing advice in procurement-related matters; b. the person(s) to whom I report and their position(s) and responsibilities; c. the number of in-house counsel at the office in which I work and their involvement, if any, in competitive decision making and in providing advice in procurement-related matters. d. my relationship to the nearest person involved in competitive decision making (both in terms of physical proximity and corporate structure); and e. measures taken to isolate me from competitive decision making and to protect against the inadvertent disclosure of protected information to persons not admitted under the Protective Order. 9.

I will comply in all respects with that order and will abide by its terms and conditions in handling any protected information produced in connection with the proceeding. 10.
