4. The exhibit packet shall include a separate divider page between each exhibit containing the exhibit letter or number.

5. All pages of the exhibit packet shall be numbered consecutively, including divider pages. Page numbers shall be affixed conspicuously to each page, but not in a manner that obscures the content of any exhibit.
