1. Information contained therein shall be disclosed only to counsel of record in this 

action or only to individuals certified by such counsel as employed by or assisting counsel in 

preparation for, or at the trial of, this action, including experts and their support staff.

2. Any such documents or information shall be used only for the purpose of

3. Any person or firm to whom such documents or information contained therein is 

to be disclosed shall first be advised by counsel making disclosure that, pursuant to this

In the event that any document or the information contained therein is included with, or 

the contents thereof are in any way disclosed, in any pleading, motion, deposition transcript or 

other paper filed with Clerk of any Court, such confidential documents or information shall be 

kept under seal by the Clerk until further order of this Court. Any use of any such document or 

of information contained therein and any testimony associated with the confidential information

Court requesting a protective order. Any documents or information disputed pursuant to this 

paragraph will continue to be protected until the Court rules that the document or information is 

not subject to this Order.

Corporation to Plaintiffs or any other party to this action, together with all originals and copies of
