shall confer in good faith in person before bringing any discovery dispute to the Court. Any 

dispute must be handled according to the procedure in the Court's Final Scheduling Order. 

F. Any notes, lists, memoranda, index or compilation prepared or based on any examination of 

these confidential materials shall be subject to this Protective Order and shall not be 

disseminated to anyone not authorized to examine these confidential materials. 

G. This Order shall terminate one year after the end of this litigation. 

H. The parties recognize that the competitive value of the information contained in the 

confidential materials produced by General Motors LLC will continue to be important to 

General Motors LLC after the expiration of this protective order. Therefore, at the

with the exception of any notes, lists, memoranda, indexes or compilations prepared by 

counsel which constitute work-product.
