1) The name and address of any witness who may be called to testify, including identification of any witness to be offered as an expert;

e) Nothing in this Section shall prevent the parties in a contested case from agreeing to a mutual exchange of information that is more extensive than what is provided for in this Section.
f) This provision will be construed to impose a continuing obligation upon the parties to exchange new information as it becomes available.
g) No depositions will be taken, interrogatories proposed, or other discovery mechanism used without the mutual agreement of the parties.
h) Service of notice upon a party licensee of the Division's intention to take his or her testimony at a formal hearing is sufficient to require the licensee's attendance at the formal hearing.
