sensitive confidential, financial, business, security related, and/or proprietary documents and 

information, the disclosure of which, even if limited to the persons listed in paragraph 6 below, may compromise and/or jeopardize the supplying party s interests ( Highly Confidential 

Information )

2.3 Documents. As used herein, the term documents includes all writings, records, files, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, presentations, models, e-mails, video tapes, 

audio tapes, compact discs, electronic messages and other data compilations from which information 

is recorded, and other tangible things subject to production under the Federal Rules of Civil

such data storage devices are produced. If the inspecting party or other persons or entities to 

whom disclosure is authorized pursuant to subparagraph 6.1 or 6.2 make a copy of any such data 

storage device designated by the producing party as Confidential Information or Highly 

Confidential Information, the inspecting party or other authorized person shall designate each such 

copy as containing Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information. If the inspecting

authorized person shall mark each page so copied with the legend CONFIDENTIAL or 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL , as appropriate. 3.4. Deposition Transcripts. Testimony given at a deposition may be 

designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential by an appropriate statement at the time of

separate statement at the time of the giving of such testimony. If deposition testimony is 

designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential (whether by a statement at the time of the

giving of such testimony or by automatic designation in connection with testimony regarding 

confidential documents), the testimony shall be taken only in the presence of those persons 

authorized to have access to Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information in 

accordance with this Agreement and Order. A deponent, deponent s counsel or a producing party

may also inform the parties to the action of the portions of the transcript and/or exhibits that they 

wish to designate as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information within thirty 

(30) days after the receipt of a deposition transcript. Until such time has elapsed, deposition 

transcripts in their entirety and all exhibits thereto shall be treated as containing Confidential 

Information consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and Order. Deposition transcripts 

containing material designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential shall be separately 

bound and appropriately marked with the legend CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL , but will keep the same pagination as if the testimony did not contain material

designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential . All persons in possession of a copy of a 

designated deposition transcript shall appropriately mark it as containing Confidential Information

or Highly Confidential Information . 4. Objections To Designations.

4.1. Generally. Any party objecting to a designation of Confidential 

Information or Highly Confidential Information (the objecting party ), shall notify in writing, within forty-five (45) days of receiving the document, the designating party and all other parties of 

the objection, specifically identifying each document that the objecting party in good faith believes 

should not be designated as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information, and 

providing a brief statement of the grounds for such belief. In accordance with the Federal Rules 

governing discovery disputes, the objecting and designating parties thereafter shall confer within 

seven (7) days after the date of such objection in an attempt to resolve their differences. If the 

parties are unable to resolve their differences, the objecting party shall have fourteen (14) days 

after the conference concludes to file with the court a motion to challenge the Confidential 

Information or Highly Confidential designation. The material in question shall retain its original 

designation until the Court rules otherwise. If such a motion is made, the party asserting the 

designation shall have the burden of proof to establish good cause for the designation claimed by 

that party.

If the objecting party elects not to make such a motion with respect to documents to which 

an objection has been made, the objection shall be deemed withdrawn. If the designating party 

withdraws the Confidential or Highly Confidential designation, the terms of this Agreement and 

Order shall not thereafter apply to any identical copy of the challenged document.

All documents initially designated as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential 

Information shall be treated as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information in 

accordance with this Agreement and Order unless and until the Court rules otherwise or the 

designation is withdrawn by the producing party, except for documents initially designated under 

paragraph 3.4, which lose their confidential status after 30 days unless so designated.

doing so only pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither the agreement to, or the taking of

actions.

11. Care in Storage. Any person in possession of Confidential Information or Highly 

Confidential Information produced by another party shall exercise reasonable and appropriate care 

with regard to the storage, custody, copying, and use of the Confidential Information or Highly
