GTECH respectfully submits this opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Protective Order
to Preclude Plaintiff from Disclosing Scientific Games’ Confidential Information to J. Kent
Lowman (D.I. 90).
Defendants’ objection to Mr. Lowman is without merit. Mr. Lowman is not currently
doing any design or research and development concerning ITVM’s. GTECH from time to time
requests technical support information from Mr. Lowman regarding the existing machines with
which Mr. Lowman is familiar, but Mr. Lowman is not presently involved with any design of
ITVM’s, and he has no plans to do so. (D.l. 90 at Ex. B). Further, Mr. Lowman has signed the
requisite undertaking pursuant to the Protective Order in this case (D.I. 26), and he understands
his obligations under the same.
Nevertheless, to avoid unnecessary controversy, GTECI-I has offered to withdraw its
request to disclose Scientific Games’ confidential information to Mr. Lowman upon approval by
Scientific Games of GTECH’s expert Sheila Smith. Scientific Games, as it did with GTECH’s
experts Joseph C. Perin and Mr. Lowman, has objected to the disclosure of confidential
information to Ms. Smith. Under the Protective Order in this case (D.I. 26) and the stipulation
filed June 30, 2005 (D.l. 93), Scientific Games is required to file a brief objecting to Ms. Smith
V by today, July 5, 2005. Scientific Games has refused GTECH’s proposal and has refused to
allow either Mr. Lowman or Ms. Smith to have access to Scientific Games’ confidential
information.

Scientific Games’ continued objections to GTECH’s experts is inappropriate and without
basis and is interfering with GTECH’s case preparations. Scientific Games’ motion should be
denied.
