STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; CASE NO. 3:12-CV-05983-JST

23888124v.1

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential,

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for

any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the Parties hereby

stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The Parties

acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited

information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The

Parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order

does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission

from the court to file material under seal.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information or

items under this Order.

2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is generated,

stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

26(c).

2.3 Counsel of Record: attorneys who are retained to represent or advise a party to this action

and have appeared in this action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has

appeared on behalf of that party.

2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the medium or

manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony,

transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery

in this matter.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; CASE NO. 3:12-CV-05983-JST

23888124v.1

2.6 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to the

litigation who (1) has been retained by a Party or his counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a

consultant in this action, (2) is not a past or current employee of a Party or of a Party’s competitor, and

(3) at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or of a Party’s

competitor. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant retained in connection with

this litigation.

2.7 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items:

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” disclosure of which to another Party or NonParty would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less restrictive means.

2.8 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity

not named as a Party to this action.

2.9 Party: any party to this action, including all of his retained experts and Counsel of Record

(and their support staffs).

2.10 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material in

this action.

2.11 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g.,

photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or

retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and subcontractors.

2.12 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as

“CONFIDENTIAL,” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

2.13 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a Producing

Party.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as

defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies,

excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

presentations by Parties or their Counsel of Record that might reveal Protected Material. However, the

protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) any

information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of

the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a

violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b)

any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party

after the disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of

confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a

separate agreement or order.

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order

otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and

defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time limits

for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or NonParty that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any

such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. To the extent it is

practical to do so, the Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material,

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,

documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably

within the ambit of this Order.

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to

be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber

or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties)

expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for

protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection initially

asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken

designation.

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see,

e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or

Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before

the material is disclosed or produced.

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but

excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix

the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to

each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by

making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection

being asserted.

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need

not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would

like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made

available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing

Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to each page

that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being

asserted.

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding,

all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. When it is impractical to

identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial

portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the record

(before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to

identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of

protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for

protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.

Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that

period is properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, hearing or

other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that only

authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

(Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition

shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page

that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all

pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material

and the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall

inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the

expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been

designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless

otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as

actually designated.

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or

containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information or

item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected

portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted.

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate

qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving

Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

provisions of this Order.

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or

a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a

confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation

is disclosed.

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by

providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each challenge.

To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the

challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective

Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by

conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within

14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for

its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an

opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in

designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed

to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or

establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a

timely manner.

23888124v.1

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention,

the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7

(and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of

challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their

dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration

affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding

paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration

within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for

each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a

confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the

designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this

provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with

the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party.

Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary

expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the

Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain

confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level

of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the

challenge.

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the

categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been

terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

DISPOSITION).

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a

secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the

court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information

or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

(a) the Receiving Party’s Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees of

said Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as

Exhibit A;

(b) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(c) the court and its personnel;

Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed

the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(e) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless

otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition

testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court

reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

(f) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information

or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to:

(a) the Receiving Party’s Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees of

said Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation

and (3) as to whom the procedures set forth in paragraph 7.4(a)(2), below, have been followed];

(c) the court and its personnel;

(d) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and

Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed

the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); and

(e) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

7.4 Procedures for Approving or Objecting to Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to Experts.

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed to in writing by the Designating

Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any information or item that

has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” pursuant to

paragraph 7.3(c) first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the general

categories of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information that the

Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and

the city and state of his or her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4)

identifies the Expert’s current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert

has received compensation or funding for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has

provided professional services, including in connection with a litigation, at any time during the

preceding five years,1and (6) identifies (by name and number of the case, filing date, and location of

1

If the Expert believes any of this information is subject to a confidentiality obligation to a third-party,

then the Expert should provide whatever information the Expert believes can be disclosed without

violating any confidentiality agreements, and the Party seeking to disclose to the Expert shall be

available to meet and confer with the Designating Party regarding any such engagement.

court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has offered expert testimony, including

through a declaration, report, or testimony at a deposition or trial, during the preceding five years.

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the

preceding respective paragraphs may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert

unless, within 14 days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the

Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based.

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with the

Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by agreement

within seven days of the written objection. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the

disclosure to the Expert may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with

Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must

describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons why the disclosure to the

Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail, and suggest any

additional means that could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be

accompanied by a competent declaration describing the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by

agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and setting forth the

reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure.

In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden of

proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed) outweighs

the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to his Expert.

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

LITIGATION

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that Party must:

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; CASE NO. 3:12-CV-05983-JST

23888124v.1

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in

the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this

Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or

court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from

which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission.

The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its

confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or

encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS

LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected

by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as

prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a

Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the

Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

1. promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that

some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

2. promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective

Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

information requested; and

3. make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; CASE NO. 3:12-CV-05983-JST

23888124v.1

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the NonParty’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a

protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

protection in this court of its Protected Material.

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material

to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the

Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized

disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c)

inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

MATERIAL

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced

material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are

those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without

prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach

an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorneyclient privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated

protective order submitted to the court.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its

modification by the court in the future.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; CASE NO. 3:12-CV-05983-JST

23888124v.1

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order no

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or

item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any

right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a

court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public

record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material

must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a

court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local

Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue

is privileged or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file

Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) is denied by the court, then the

Receiving Party may file the Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-

5(e)(2) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries,

and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected

Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the

Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline

that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,

summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding

this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits,

expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials

contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material
