Now on this 17th day of February, 2010, comes to be considered the Stipulation and

Bernards Hospital, Inc. d/b/a St. Bernards Medical Center (“SBMC”), hereinafter referred to as

for no other purpose whatsoever, and shall not be given, shown, made available or distributed in any

way to anyone except “Qualified Persons,” as herein defined. This shall not apply to documents,

otherwise designated as “Confidential,” but obtained from sources other than Hospital.

(2) Confidential documents shall be deemed to mean any and all documents produced

by Hospital to Plaintiff that contain the private, confidential, and protected employee information

of Hospital employees, not including documents that pertain directly to Plaintiff.

at any time as to specific matters designated "Confidential Documents" to remove such from the

application of this Order pursuant to further Order of this Court.
