Rule 45, South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedures, Parts (c) and (d):

(c) Protection of Persons Subject to Subpoenas.

(1) A party or an attorney responsible for the issuance and service of a subpoena shall take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or
expense on a person subject to that subpoena. The court on behalf of which the subpoena was issued shall enforce this duty and impose upon the party
or attorney in breach of this duty an appropriate sanction, which may include, but is not limited to, lost earnings and a reasonable attorney's fee.

(2)(A) A person commanded to produce and permit inspection and copying of designated electronically stored information, books, papers, documents or
tangible things, or inspection of premises need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless commanded to appear for
deposition, hearing or trial. A party or an attorney responsible for the issuance and service of a subpoena for production of books, papers and
documents without a deposition shall provide to another party copies of documents so produced upon written request. The party requesting copies shall
pay the reasonable costs of reproduction.

(B) Subject to paragraph (d)(2) of this rule, a person commanded to produce and permit inspection and copying may, within 14 days after service of the
subpoena or before the time specified for compliance if such time is less than 14 days after service, serve upon the party or attorney designated in the
subpoena written objection to inspection or copying of any or all of the designated materials or of the premises—or to producing electronically stored
information in the form or forms requested. If objection is made, the party serving the subpoena shall not be entitled to inspect and copy the materials or
inspect the premises except pursuant to an order of the court by which the subpoena was issued. If objection has been made, the party serving the
subpoena may, upon notice to the person commanded to produce, move at any time in the court that issued the subpoena for an order to compel the
production. Such an order to compel production shall protect any person who is not a party or an officer of a party from significant expense resulting from
the inspection and copying commanded.

(3)(A) On timely motion, the court by which a subpoena was issued, or regarding a subpoena commanding appearance at a deposition, or production or
inspection directed to a non-party, the court in the county where the non-party resides, is employed or regularly transacts business in person, shall
quash or modify the subpoena if it:

(i) fails to allow reasonable time for compliance; or

(ii) requires a person who is not a party nor an officer, director or managing agent of a party, nor a general partner of a partnership that is a party, to
travel more than 50 miles from the county where that person resides, is employed or regularly transacts business in person, except that, subject to the
provisions of clause (c)(3)(B)(iii) of this rule, such a person may in order to attend trial be commanded to travel from any such place within the state in
which the trial is held; or

(iii) requires disclosure of privileged or otherwise protected matter and no exception or waiver applies; or

(iv) subjects a person to undue burden.

(B) If a subpoena:

(i) requires disclosure of a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information, or

(ii) requires disclosure of an unretained expert's opinion or information not describing specific events or occurrences in dispute and resulting from the
expert's study made not at the request of any party, or

SCCA 254 (05/2015) (See Rule 45, South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure, Parts (c) & (d) on pages 2 and 3)
(iii) requires a person who is not a party nor an officer, director or managing agent of a party, nor a general partner of a partnership that is a party, to
incur substantial expense to travel from the county where that person resides, is employed or regularly transacts business in person, the court may, to
protect a person subject to or affected by the subpoena, quash or modify the subpoena or, if the party in whose behalf the subpoena is issued shows a
substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship and assures that the person to whom the subpoena
is addressed will be reasonably compensated, the court may order appearance or production only upon specified conditions.

(d) Duties in Responding to Subpoena.

(1)(A)A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents shall produce them as they are kept in the usual course of business or shall organize
and label them to correspond with the categories in the demand.

(B) If a subpoena does not specify the form or forms for producing electronically stored information, a person responding to a subpoena must produce
the information in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable form or forms.

(C) A person responding to a subpoena need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form.

(D) A person responding to a subpoena need not provide discovery of electronically stored information from sources that the person identifies as not
reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or to quash, the person from whom discovery is sought must
show that the information sought is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the court may nonetheless
order discovery from such sources if the requesting party shows good cause, considering the limitations of Rule 26(b)(6)(B). The court may specify
conditions for the discovery.

(2)(A) When information subject to a subpoena is withheld on a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as trial preparation materials, the claim
shall be made expressly and shall be supported by a description of the nature of the documents, communications, or things not produced that is
sufficient to enable the demanding party to contest the claim.

(B) If information produced in response to a subpoena is subject to a claim of privilege or of protection as trial preparation material, the person making
the claim may notify any party that received the information of the claim and the basis for it. After being notified, a party must promptly return, sequester,
or destroy the specified information and any copies it has and may not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved. A receiving party may
promptly present the information to the court under seal for a determination of the claim. If the receiving party disclosed the information before being
notified, the receiving party must take reasonable steps to retrieve the information. The person who produced the information must preserve the
information until the claim is resolved.
