(b) Where the deposition is to be taken;
(c) The manner of recording the deposition; and
(d) A brief statement of the substance of the testimony that the witness is expected to give.

(4) If the motion is granted, the court may, in its discretion, set conditions regarding the time, place and method of taking the deposition.
