had resigned via email earlier that day and that Debtors’ counsel did not expect that Mr. Bhansali
would be appearing at his deposition noticed for May 22, 2018, or at the continued Sale Hearing

Mihir Bhansali was in the jurisdiction. Counsel to PNB and the Debtors agreed that the parties
should immediately notify the Court of this development.

2018. I understand that a transcript of this hearing is being prepared, but it is not yet available at
the time of this filing. During the telephonic hearing, counsel for Mihir Bhansali represented
that, if ordered to testify in connection with the pending Sale Motion, Mihir Bhansali would

substance, that without Mihir Bhansali’s testimony the Debtors had no other information to
provide the Court regarding the issues raised during the Sale Hearing concerning Mihir
Bhansali’s communications with Nirav Modi. This Court then requested that the Debtors decide
whether they would move forward with the Sale Motion without Mihir Bhansali’s testimony and
promptly inform the interested parties of their decision.
13. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on May 23, 2018, at New York, New York.

Choksi (Rl4) through various companies and LLPs directly or
indirectly maintained by them. It is shown as most of the companies
are primarily engaged In the business of diamond trnd ing, but
whereas by seeing th is Pecrtlon it appeais that these Respondents
and their group c:ompanies in the name of diamond business,
according to the Petitioner, committed mega fraud by conniving with
some of the Officers of PNB routing money of a public sector Bank
through lssual of letter of undertakings to their benefit without
making any entries In the trade finance module of the Banks , i.e.
Core Banking Service (CBS) system to avoid detection. The
Petitioner submits that the funds received under Buyer's credit from
overseas banks were credited to Nostro Account of the Bank and
subsequent ly utilized as per direction given by the conniving officer
to repay .Imports/earlier Buyer's credit used by the firms. For
issuance of fraudulent LCs, the conniving officer, Issued LCs by
entering a small amount In trade module of Core Bonklng Service
(CBS) system and generating the reference number and SWIFT
messages were sent For the amounts. Subsequently, without making
any change in Trade Finance Module of CBS system, the conniving
officer sent modified SWIFT message for the same reference to the
beneficiary bank for enhanced amount unauthorizedly. By sending
modified SWIFT message witll the reference given for smaller
amount, this enl1.:incement would not come to the notice of CBS
system. By doing so. according to the Petitioner, the Respondents
herein committed fraud of il'11,40Dcrores against PNB.
3. The Petitioner's case is that since the Respondents' companies
and their dlrectors having caused wrongful loss of rupees above
~ 11 ,OOOcrores by fraudulent means, for there being FlRs ugainst
many of the Respondents detailing how fraud has been committed,
at_least to realize the monies to the extent possible, It ls essential to
obtain restraint orders .:,galnst the assets lying with various
companies, LU's, Trusts and individuals, in t he backdrop of the
factual scenario, it has become imperative upon th is Bench to pas~ ·< .~~~~ ~-. . . . ~, .. \,..,..... .. ~'.r.1 -~ '

seeking buyers' credit, whence it came to light that the firms belonging
to the Nirav Modi Group and Gitanjali Group of Companies had been
availing transactions for the past 8 years based on unauthorized and
fraudulently issued Letters of Understanding (LOUs) and Foreign
Letters of Credit (FLC), without necessary sanction and without entering
the details of same on CBS system of the bank.
(b) Modus Openmdi - For issuance of fraudulent LOUs, the conniving
officer of the bank did not obtain any documents required by the law and
also did not make any entry in the trade finance module of the bank's
CBS sys tem to avoid detection. Funds received under buyers' credit from
overseas banks were credited to Nosh·o account of the bank and
subsequently utilized as per direction given by the conniving officer to
repay imports/earlier buyers' credit used by the firms. For the issuance
of fraudulent Letters of Credit (LC), the conniving officer issued LC by
entering a smaller amount in trade module of CBS system and generating
the reference no. and a SWIFT message was sent for the amount.
Subsequently, without making any change in trade finance module of
CBS system, the conniving officer sent modified SWIFT message for the
same reference to the beneficiary bank for enhanced amount
unauthorizedly. Thus, the amount was enhanced fraudulently. The
beneficiary bank had discounted the documents based on SWIFT
message received . There is no documents held for these import
transactions.

The Joint Director Central Bureau of lnvesHgatlon, Mumbai
Reg: Crhnl11al Cornµlalnt for addltlo11 lo FIR against Mr. Mehul Choksl, Promoter o f Gltanjall Group Companies for having co111rnltted offence& of Cheating and Fraud thereby, causing loss of USD 754.92 mlo equlvalont to Rs.4386. 72 to tho banks.
Sir. It ts to inform th;:,! our internal investigation team has brought to our notice cases of unauthorized issuance or LOUs on behalf of Mr. Me11ul Choksi promoted Gitanjall group of companies.
The issuance of above LOUs were effected by Shri Gokulnat11 Shelly, U1e then Dy. Manager, (PF No. 107272), since retired on 31-05-2017, and Shri Manoj Karat (PF No. 331096) who was posted at our Mid Corporate Branch, Brady House. Ml1mbai since 31.03.2010 ::ind was looking after imp,,rt section and Shti Manoj 1-fernonl K.irat, SWO-B, (PF No. 331096-undor suspension) at the same branch. They have lraudulently Issued LOU's w ithout following Bank's prescribed procedures of obtaining required request appllcaLions. documents, approval of the authorities lherelo etc. and without making entries in the Banking system avoiding detection of !he transactions, so made, transinilted swill instructions lo the overseas branches of indlan bank l•nder Buyer's Crea1t. Credils received uMer the Buyer's credit in the Bank's Nostro aocounVs were l1owever uillized for payment of earlier raised buyers' credil in many cases. Such SWIFT messaoes for remittance were also Issued by abovo officials.
RBI prescribes that credit for import ot semi-precious and precious stones including pearls should not be more than 90 days. However, in most cases the credit allowed l •nder referred LoUs is much beyond 90 days. For outstanding Buyer's Credll, lhe LoUs are established for about 360 day5 ab-lnilio, Tllis should have evoked suspicion in the minds ot overseas branches ol Indian banks extending buyers credit These banks never raised any alarm on viola!ion of RBI guidelines and continued to provide funding agai11s1 fraudulent I.OUs.

There Is no documentary evidence available lo prove lhal these Import transactions are honafide trade lransaclions Thero are several discrepancies in LoUs which could have been cosily detected by ordinary due diligence.

Subject: - In the matter of PNB fraud by the Nirav Modi Group,
I am to refer FIR No RCBSM2018E0001 registered with CBI 8SFC, Mumbai on 31/01/2018 against Nirav Modi Group for an amount of fraud of Rs.280.70 crores and subsequent CBI FIR lodged on 13/02/2018 for a consolidated fraud amount of Rs.6498._20 crores (including earlier fraud amount of Rs.280. 70 crores {Annexure A}. I understand ·tnafrii1inistry of Corporate Affair has ordered an investigation into various companies of Nirav Modi Group through Serious Fraud Investigation Office on 16 F'ebruary, 2018.
In this regard, I am lo say lhal the companies and persons as per ~~.xure 8 are prima facie beneficiaries of this fraud. I have also strong reasons to believe that 1fie's'e"companies and persons are either frittering away the assets or creating third party rights. The individuals are likely to divert and siphon off their personal assets

However, I also understand that the Individuals and companies are having various undeclared securities, lockers, bank accounts and properties in India and oversea·s· lrnffeYore:TrequesTiha·1 riven-the undeclared properties of such persons be put to restrain on alienation, creation of third party rights or lien or transfer thereof.

Subject; - In the matter of PNB fraud by the Gitanjali Group.
tam to refer FIR No. RC02(E)/2018/CBl/8S&FC/Mum registered with CBI: BSFC, Mi,Jmbal on 15/02/2018 against Gitanjali Group for an amount of fraud of Rs.4886. 72 crores (Annexure A). I understand that Ministry of Corporate Affair has ordered an lnliestigation Into various companies of Gitanjali Group through Serious Fraud Investigation Office on 16111 February, 2018.
In this regard, I am to say that the companies and persons as per Annexure B are prima facie beneficiaries of this fraud. I have also strong reasons to believe that these companies and persons are either frittering away the assets or creating third party rights. The individuals are likely to divert and siphon off their personal assets.
I being representative of one of the major creditors seek protection and restrain against alienation or creation of third party rights on the assets owned by the above named companies and persons since these legitimately belong to us being the bona fide creditor who has been victim of the fraud perpetuated mainly by the above persons.
I shall be grateful in case irnmediale steps are taken against the persons mentioned in Annexure B to attach all the movable and immovable properties. Some of the p(operties movable including immovable properties the details available with us are mentioned as per Annexure C. However, I also understand that the individuals and companies are having various undeclared securities, lockers, bank accounts and properties in India and overseas therefore, I request that even the undeclared properties of such persons be put lo restrain on alienation, creation of third party rights or lien or transfer thereof. I shall provide all other , necessary details as may be required for this purpose.
Yours faithfully,

The Joint Director Central Bureau of Investigation, Mumbai
13.02.2018
Reg: Criminal Complalnt for addition to FIR against Mr. Mehul Choksi, Pron'1oter of Gltanjafi Group Co1t1panles for having committed offences of Cheating and Fraud thereby, causing loss of USD 754.92 rnlo equivalent to Rs.4086. 72 to the banks.
Sir, It is to inform that our internal Investigation team has brought to our notice cases of unauthorized Issuance of LOUs on behalf of Mr. Mehul Choksi promoted Gitanjali group of companies.
The Issuance of above LOUs were effected by Shri Gokulnath Shelty, the then Dy. Manager, (PF No. 107272), since retired on 31-05-2017, and Shri Manoj Karat ~PF No. 331096) who was posted at our Mid Corporate Branch, BrarJy House, Mumbai . since 31.03.201 o and was looking after import section and Shri Manoj Hem ant Karat, SWO-B, (PF No. 331096-under suspension) at the same branch. They have fraudulently Issued LOU's without following Bank's prescribed procedures of obtaining required request applications, documents, approval of the authorities thereto etc. and without making entries in the Banking system avoiding detection of the transactions, so made, transmitted swift instructions to the overseas branches of lnd\an baAk under Buyer's Credit. Credits received under the Buyer's credit in the Bank's Nostro accounVs were however utilized for payment of earlier raised buyers' · credit In many cases. Such SWIFT messages for remittance were also issued by above officials.
RBI prescribes that credit for import of semi-precious and precious stones Including pearls should not be more than 90 days. However, in most cases the credit allowed under referred LoUs is much beyond 90 days. For outstanding Buyer's Credit, the LoUs are established for about 360 day$ ~b-initio. This should have evoked suspicion in the minds of overseas branches of Indian banks extending buyers credit: These banks never raised any alarm on violation of RBI guidelines and continued to provide funding against fraudulent LOUs.

are bonafide trade transactions. There are several discrepancies in LoUs which could have been easily detected by ordinary due d!ligence.
On investigation misuse of SWIFT system to benefit Gitanjali group of companies was also observed for transactions related to Foreign Letter of Credit (FLCs).
The conniving officer also issued FLCs by entering a smaller amount in trade finance module of CBS system and generating the reference no. and a SWIFT message was sent for the amount. Subsequently without making any change in trade finance module of CBS system the conniving officer sent modified SWIFT message for enhanced amount under the same reierence to the beneficiary bank. The beneficiary/Overseas Supplier had discounted the documents drawn under such FLCs (based on SWIFT message) with Overseas Banks.
In all , unauthorised LOUs aggregating to USO 473.77 Million (equivalent of Rs.3032.12 Cr) and unauthorized tCs aggregating to USO 281.'i 5 million (equivalent of Rs.1854.60 er) were issued In Gitanjall Group.

Bank's clarification
Bank has enough assets to meet any liability which is decided as per law. However, realization of any specific asset would be decided at the time of need with the approval of Board. Bank is not aware of any such petition filed in Supreme Court.
Bank is under discussion with CBI to allow normal operation in the branch during business hours. However, the bank has Core Banking Solution through which any customer of bank can transact at any branch of his convenience. Bank has made enough arrangements to ensure no customer is put to anv Inconvenience.

For a genuine trade transaction. the ban~ in India holds all documents of irnport and dedaration by Importer inciuding -commercial acceptance from !he overseas b3nk.. This transaction is entered into bank·s trade module of centralized ban!ti..,g system (CBS) as 'foreign ·Jetter of ·guarantee. On entering into trade module of CBS. the system generates reference no. and li;:ibDity is created ln the system. This reference no. is quoted lo the overseas banker for al! purposes Tn the ·SW1FT system:
Howe-.i~r. in the present case the conniving, officer did not . obtain any documents r~uired by the law and also .:tid not n,a1<e aft'/ .$)try In the ·trade finance module of the bank's CBS system to avoid de~k>n. Funds received under buyers· credit from overseas banks were ·credited to Nostro account cf the bank and subseQuentty utilized as l)ef direction given by the cannlviing·officer .to repay lmports/eartier buyers· credit usacfby the firms.

The beneficiary bank after obtaining documents from exporter as required under LC conirect discount the same and-provide funds to·the exporter. These documents are then sent by beneficiary bank to LC opening bank for making payment on due date.
In the present case. the conniving officer issued LC by entering a smaller amount in trade module of CBS system and generating the reference no. and a SWIFT message was sent for the amount. Subsequently without. making any change · in trade finance module of CBS system the conniving officer sent modified SWIFT message for the same reference to the beneficiary bank for enhance<! amount unauthorisedty.

Findings of tho Investigation
't . me fraudulertt issue of LOUs to Nir.:N Modi group firms was started on 10.3.201 i and has continued since then.
2. The fraudulent l:l'sin&actlons as mentione<l above In the modus operandi are mainly related to three partnership firms belonging to Mr. Nlrav Modi and 3 Companies of Mr. Meoul ChOksi (Gitanjali Group). In addition to above, two transaction related to Mis Chandeci Papers is also observed. AJI these transactions have the same moo us operandi as above.
3. The fraudulent LO\Js were issue!d in SWIFT system without making any entry in

credi1 avalled under similar fraudulent LOUs issued In the- past RBl prescribes that credit for import of semi-p,recious and pracious stones Including pearls should not be more than 90 ·days. Howaver. in most cases the credit a!!owad is mt1ch beyond 9{) days. In last 01utstanding buyers' credit the LOU is established for about 360 days ab inrlio wnic:h should have evoked suspicion 1n the minds of overseas .branches of Indian bank extending buyers credit.. Tii.ese banks never raised any-alarm on violation of RBI guidelines and continued to provide funding against fraudulent LOVs. · · · · · ·
5. One fraudulent LOU has been is.sued for 3.years period for.a product which is not defined as Ca_pltal good. As such, the~~e also is ·in cootravention to RBI guidelines for. providing 3 years buyers~.creoit only for capital g~s. .

1. B.ranch officials namely Mr. Gokulnath ·Shetty, the then Dy. Manager (since reti«xf on 31.05.2017) and Mr. Ma1101 Hanumant Kharat. SW0-8, have unauthorisedly issued fraudulent SWIFT messages whldl were not entered in the trade finance n;cdu!e of CBS to a,mid detection. From the logs in SWJFT it is observed that besides Mr. Gokulnath Shetty. other staff member$ have also used their password in the capacity of ~J,er/verifier/authorizer enabfing the fraudulent SWIFT messages stated above to complete.
2. Involvement & connivance of more staff members and outside.rs at this stage is
not rµled. out 3. The , fom s/cornpanies connived with above officials of the bank to undertake
transactions not supported by genuine trade documents. In many cases such buyers-' credit were raise<! beyond RBI prescription of 90 days :for Import of goods mentioned in the LOUs. Thus ovei'sE~s bank igtlored this vitatstipulatjon of RSI
in extending credit 4 Overseas funding banks have been grossly negligent In funding buyers· credit
under the LO Us. They. have not carri,~d out due diligence which could have easily decected the malafide in the LOUs; such as same reference no. was being repeated In a large no. of LOUs. discrepant clauses in the LOUs, large modifications done ~bseq®ntiy in ~etter of credit. not carung for confirmation of batances. providing buyers' credit beyond 90 days limit prescribed by RBI. negotiating oills under LCs for usanoe.period beyond RBI prescriptions for good~
unde: LC. etc. 5. Detaued staff side cases £or an erring staff shall be submitted separately. Other
details of beneficiaries._ misappropriation of amount etc pertaining to F~.Cs referred in this report Is ·being looked Into and a detailed report would be submitted shortly.
6. Detailed year wi~ LOVG issuoo wiU,oot authentication m CBS and LCs l5$ued.. w;·tf1out entering in trade m<ldule of CBS shall be submitted subsequently since ft requires a lot reconciliation and gt:ouping. Following amount may marginally change due to the fact that FLCs with 3 year maturity is yet to be reconciled.

Re: In re Firestar Diamond, Inc., et al., Case No. 18-10509 (SHL) (Bankr.)
Dear Mr. Winters:
Thank you for taking the time to speak with us on March 20, 2018.
As you know, we represent Punjab National Bank (“PNB”), India’s second largest government-owned bank, in the above-captioned matter. PNB is the primary victim of the massive $2 billion fraud perpetrated by Nirav Modi, the controlling shareholder of the Debtors, and his affiliated entities (the “Fraud”). Based on publicly available information, including the Debtors’ bankruptcy pleadings, PNB is deeply concerned that proceeds from the Fraud may have been transferred to the Debtors and their affiliates and insiders prior to the Petition Date and that the proceeds from such Fraud may in the future be transferred to the Debtors’ affiliates and insiders in connection with any sale of the Debtors’ assets.
I have attached the document requests directed to the Debtors pursuant to Rule 2004 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that we discussed over the phone. We ask that you respond to the requests on a rolling basis and complete such production by April 5, 2018. In addition, we ask that the Debtors retain and not destroy all documents implicated by these requests.
To conserve resources and time, PNB would like to work cooperatively with the Debtors in obtaining this information without the need to proceed on a formal basis with a Rule 2004 motion. We anticipate that these requests will not be controversial and will not be overly

burdensome as we expect that the Debtors' professionals are already reviewing the documents and issues raised in the Rule 2004 requests given their obligation to protect the integrity of the U.S. bankruptcy process and to understand any involvement of the Debtors in the Fraud.
We would be happy to set up an in-person meeting with you and the Debtors' professionals, management, and Chief Restructuring Officer to discuss these requests and confirm that the information will be provided on a timely basis, particularly in light of the ongoing sale effo11s.
PNB reserves the right to amend or supplement the attached document requests, and to serve additional discovery requests pursuant to Rule 2004, as well as all rights, defenses and potential objections and challenges with respect to any claim it may bring in the abovecaptioned matter.
Sincerely,

is that the Union of lndla has ldentltled a group of companies, LLPs,
18-10509-shl Doc 182-4 Filed 05/23/18 Entered 05/23/18 13:47:46 Exhibit D Pg 25 of 36
NATIONAL COM PANY LAW TRIBUNAL, MUMBAI OENCH
C.P. No. 277/2018
Choksi (R14) through various companies and LLPs directly or
indirectly maintained by them. It is shown as most of the companies
are primarily engaged in the business of diamond trading, bllt
whereas by seeing this Petition It appears that these Respondents
and their group companies in the name of diamond business,
according to the Petitioner, committed mega fraud by conniving with
sorne of the Officers of PNB routing rnoney of t1 public sector Bank
through issual of letter of undertakings to their benefit without
making any entries In the trade finance module of the Banks , i .e.
Core Banking Service {CBS} system to avoid detection. The
Petitioner submits that the funds received under Buyer's credit from
overseas banks were credited to Nostro Account of the Bank and
subsequently utilized as per direction given by tt'le conniving officer
to repay Imports/earlier Buyer's credit used by the firms. For
issuance of fraudulent LCs, the coonlvlng officer, issued LCs by
entering cl small amount In t rade module of Core Banking Service
(CBS) system and generating the reference number and SWIFT
messnges were sent for the amounts. Subsequently, without making
any change in Trade Finance Module of CBS system, the conniving
officer sent modified swrFT message for the same reference to the
beneficiary bank for enhanced nmount unauthorizedly. By sending
modified SWIFT message with the reference given for smaller
amount, this enhancement would not come to the notice of CBS
system. By doing so. according to the Petitioner, the Respondents
herein committed fraud of H 1,400crores against PNB .
3. The Petitioner's case is that since the Respondents' companies
and their directors having caused wrongful loss of rupees above
f 11,000crores by fraudulent means, for there being FlRs against
many of the Respondents detaiHng how fraud has been committed,
.:it.least to realize the monies to the extent possible, it is essential to
obtain restraint orders against the assets lying with various
companies, LLPs, Trusts and individuals, in the b.ickdrop of the
factual scenario, it has ber.ome imperative upon this Bench to pass. ,'·: -'[ff~~~ ' .· ~,1,,\i,....,..... ~:f' .~'~

f.icts of the matter is, fraud has been taken place, money or the bank
has gone out If this Bench remains waiting for details of each and
every transaction, the liquid assets and other assets lylng with these
entitles Will be fri ttered away, once that happened, the whole
exercise of passing orders wlll become redundant.

Re: In re: Firestar Diamond, Inc., et al., Case No. 18-10509 (SHL)
Dear Sean:
As you know, we represent Punjab National Bank ("PNB") in the above-captioned matter. On Thursday afternoon, we received the Debtors' Request for Production of Documents (as attached, the "Document Requests") relating to the Debtors' motion (Docket No. 60) seeking to sell all or substantially all of the assets of A. Jaffe, Inc. ("A. Jaffe") scheduled to be heard on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 (the "Sale Hearing").
We object to the premise, scope and timeline for the Document Requests. They are nothing more than attempted retaliation against PNB, the victim of a substantial fraud, in response to PNB's legitimate attempts to investigate PNB's claims against the estates and the Debtors' actions during the sales process. The pretextual nature of your requests is laid bare by the Debtors' conduct in these cases.
As you have said on a number of occasions, the Debtors have not commenced any review of the circumstances of the massive fraud committed by their ultimate majority shareholder, including any connections between the Debtors and the fraud. In fact, you have told us that it is not the Debtors' responsibility to investigate the fraud; instead, you have said that the Examiner is responsible for the investigation. It was only after PNB served its limited document requests in connection with the Sale Hearing, that you sent the Document Requests purportedly seeking evidence from PNB of the fraud committed by your own clients' ultimate shareholder. Notably, the requests go far beyond the sale itself. The Document Requests purport to seek information to investigate potential fraud by the Debtors through seeking evidence from PNB, even while the
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP or an affiliated entity has an office in each of the cities listed above.
18-10509-shl Doc 182-5 Filed 05/23/18 Entered 05/23/18 13:47:46 Exhibit E Pg 2 of 19
Sean Southard, Esq. p. 2
Debtors have refused to respond meaningfully to PNB's document requests concerning the fraud. Because the Debtors affirmatively stated that they will not be investigating the fraud, and have explicitly disclaimed any responsibility to do so, the Document Requests are wholly inappropriate.
Leaving that aside, the Debtors' Document Requests are inappropriate for other reasons. First, they go far beyond the matters relevant to Sale Hearing. This stands in sharp contrast to the limited document requests that PNB delivered to the Debtors inlay 9, 2018. Second, PNB does not carry the burden at the Sale Hearing; it is the Debtors' responsibility to demonstrate that their efforts have maximized value and that the sale process is not tainted by fraud. Third, most of the information you are seeking is known to the Debtors, or available in the Debtors' own files, records and electronic documents. Fourth, the proposed deadline (a Saturday, less than 48 hours after delivery of the Document Requests for materials that would have to come from foreign sources) cannot possibly be met given the overly broad scope of the requests. The Debtors certainly have not proceeded with such speed; as you know, we first served document requests related to the fraud in March, and you still have not produced any significant information in response to those requests. Lastly, it would be obviously prejudicial to the investigations by governmental and law enforcement authorities for PNB to provide information that may wind up in the hands of the target of multiple active investigations.
That is not to say that PNB will not provide any information to the Debtors. As you are aware, PNB has publicly filed substantial materials that address many of the issues raised in the Document Requests, such as the Debtors' participation in the fraud. PNB also intends to cooperate with the Examiner's investigation and to that end has already begun exchanging information with the Examiner. In addition, subject to and without waiving PNB's reservations and objections, we can confirm, on behalf of PNB, that PNB (i) has not communicated with any of the four publicly disclosed "Potential Bidders",1 or (ii) conducted any valuation of the A. Jaffe assets.
To the extent that PNB produces documents or information responsive to the Document Requests, it does so without conceding the admissibility, materiality, or relevance of any such documents or of any other substantive responses or objections to the Document Requests. PNB reserves all objections to the use of these responses and of any documents it produces. PNB may interpose all such objections at the time of trial or as otherwise required by the applicable rules or order of the court. PNB reserves the right to amend, supplement, or withdraw any responses and objections to the Document Requests.
t The Document Requests define "Potential Purchasers" as "any Person who has made any expressions of interest in purchasing some or all of the Debtors' business operations." Only the Debtors have direct personal knowledge of the identities of persons who have expressed interest in the Debtors' assets, and PNB is aware of only those persons whose identities the Debtors have disclosed to it.

materials are possessed directly by you or your employees, agents, representatives, attorneys,
accountants, advisors, investigators, consultants, or any other Person acting or purporting to act
on your behalf or under your control. Without limiting the term “control” as used in the

right to secure the document or a copy thereof from another Person having actual possession

Mihir Bhansali), legal counsel and financial advisors.
4. If you are unable to respond to any request for production in full after exercising
due diligence to secure the requested information, so state, and explain why the request for
production cannot be responded to in full.
5. In producing Documents, you are requested to produce an exact copy of the
original of each Document requested together with all non-identical copies and Drafts of that
document. Each Document shall be legible and bound in the same manner as the original.

produced, produce copies of all labels or other identifying marks.
8. Documents attached to each other shall not be separated and all documents that

such Documents mention, discuss, refer to or explain the Documents which are called for by
this request, or if such Documents are attached to the Documents called for by this request and
constitute routing slips, transmittal memoranda, cover letters, comments or similar materials.
10. Documents are to be produced in full; redacted Documents will not constitute
compliance with this request. If any requested Document cannot be produced in full, produce
it to the extent possible, indicating which Document, or portion of that Document, is being
withheld, and the reason that you are withholding the Document or portion thereof.
11. If any requested Documents are maintained in digital, electronic, or imaged form,
production of a copy of the ESI in digital, electronic, or imaged form is hereby requested,
along with any information needed to access, search, or sort electronic data or documents.
12. Electronically stored information should be produced in accordance with the
following specifications:
(i) Form of Production. Produce electronically stored information in single-
page tiff format (Group IV tiff at 300 dpi) or in JPG format for
Documents in color.3 Productions shall be made on encrypted media
(e.g. CD/DVD or portable hard drive) with Opticon image load files
(.OPT). TIFF\JPG image naming conventions should be limited to
alphanumeric names only, with no spaces, no hyphens, and no special
characters in the file name (e.g. ABC00000001.tif). All fielded database
information (including extracted metadata from electronic documents)
should be delivered in a standard Concordance load file format (.DAT).
3 Cleary Gottlieb reserves the right to request color JPG files for any document that is unreadable or has
limited accessibility in the Group IV TIFF format.

Group every 1,000 tiff images within incrementally named “IMAGES”
directories; do not create a separate folder for each Document.
(ii) Document Text. For Documents/records that were originally stored as
native electronic files and which do not have redactions, produce the
extracted full text (not OCR) from the body of each Document in
separate Document-level text files (.txt) named for the beginning Bates
number of the associated Document. Provide OCR text for Documents
that do not contain searchable text (e.g. non-searchable PDFs, etc.).
For Documents that were originally stored as native electronic files and
which have redactions, produce the OCR text from the redacted
image(s) associated with each Document. Clearly label any redacted
material to show the redactions on the tiff image. Group 1,000
Document text files per incrementally named “TEXT” directories,
separate from image directories. A comma delimited list file (.LST)
should be provided and include the beginning Bates number and the
full file path (including volume) information to the extracted text/OCR
files.
(iii) Native Production For Certain File Types. For files created by Excel or
other spreadsheet programs, PowerPoint or other special presentation
programs, database files, audio/visual files or any other file types that
reasonably require viewing in their native format for a full
understanding of their content and meaning, produce the files in native
and tiff formats. Name the produced native file with the Bates number
18-10509-shl Doc 182-9 Filed 05/23/18 Entered 05/23/18 13:47:46 Exhibit I Pg 13 of 16

on the first page of the corresponding tiff production of the file /
document. A comma delimited list file (.LST) should be provided and
include the beginning Bates number and the full file path (including
volume) information to the native files. Group native files within
