The responses contained herein are based only upon such information and documents presently available to and known by Responding Party. Nothing contained herein shall be used to preclude Responding Party further research and investigation of the facts or from presentation of the results of that research and investigation to the trier of fact at the time of trial. The following responses are provided without prejudice to the right of Responding Party to produce and introduce at the time of trial subsequently discovered evidence relating to the proof of presently known material facts, and to produce and introduce all evidence whenever discovered relating to the proof of subsequently discovered material facts. Moreover, because the facts and evidence now known may be improperly understood, or the relevancy or consequence of certain facts and evidence may be imperfectly understood, such facts and evidence in good faith may not be included in the following responses. Responding Party reserves the right to refer to, conduct discovery with reference to, or offer into evidence at the time of trial, any and all documents and things notwithstanding the responses and objections interposed herein. To the extent that a response to an interrogatory has not been objected to, Responding Party has used reasonable diligence to obtain information responsive to the demand responded to herein, based on examination of those files that may reasonably be expected to yield such information and interviews with those individuals reasonably expected to have such information. All relevant and unprivileged information so obtained is contained in these responses. To the extent that the propounding party seeks to require Responding Party to do more than the foregoing, the interrogatories are objected to on the grounds that they seek information which is neither relevant to the subject matter of the action nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and would subject Responding Party to oppression, harassment, and undue burden and expense not commensurate with any legitimate discovery need.
