2. For purposes of this Stipulation and Protective Order, the Parties agree that 

the definition of "Confidential Information" shall include: 

a. Proprietary information, including, but not limited to, all financial data concerning 

the Parties, including tax information, to the extent such information has not 

already been made known to the general public; 

b. Other proprietary information of a commercial nature that the Producing 

Party believes, in good faith, constitutes a trade secret under applicable law; 

c. Personal information relating to individual persons, including personal finance 

information or other information that the Producing Party believes, in good faith,

3. "Producing Party" means any party or third party that produces documents or 

information as part of the parties’ informal discovery process to advance settlement 

discussions or pursuant to discovery requests, in support of dispositive motions, or otherwise, 

in the course of this litigation. 

4. Any Producing Party may designate as "CONFIDENTIAL" any material, documents 

or discovery responses, testimony or other information, which constitutes or contains Confidential 

Information, as follows: Documents containing Confidential Information, which are produced as 

part of the parties’ informal discovery process or in responses to document requests, subpoenas or 

otherwise, shall be marked by the Producing Party with the following legend: CONFIDENTIAL. 

Any other Confidential Information conveyed by the Producing Party during this 

litigation, if in written or other tangible form, shall be marked with the legend set forth in 

subparagraph (a) above, or, if in oral or other intangible form, identified as: Confidential 

Information. 

5. This Order only permits designation as Confidential Information that information 

as to which the Producing Party entertains a good faith belief that the information satisfies the 

definition of Confidential Information contained in Paragraph 2. 

6. Persons receiving Confidential Information shall use it solely for the purpose of 

this litigation. Confidential Information shall not be disclosed directly or indirectly to any other 

person other than as provided in this Order, except by written agreement of the Producing Party.

Procedure, and decisional authority, (b) to use its own Confidential Information in any manner 

that Producing Party desires, or (c) to seek and obtain, on an appropriate showing, such 

additional protection with respect to Confidential Information as that party may consider 

appropriate. 

11. Any violation of the terms of this Protective Order may result in the imposition of 

such relief as the Court deems appropriate. All provisions of this Stipulation shall be binding on

provisions of this Order restricting the communication or use of Confidential Information shall 

continue to be binding after the conclusion of this action, including all appeals, unless otherwise 

agreed or ordered. The Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce this Protective Order beyond the
