4. Depositions shall be taken only in the presence of qualified persons.

5. Nothing herein shall impose any restrictions on the use or disclosure by a party of

FRCP 26(c) for a separate protective order as to any particular document or information,

including restrictions differing from those as specified herein. This Order shall not be deemed to

prejudice the parties in any way in any future application for modification of this Order.

9. This Order is entered solely for the purpose of facilitating the exchange of

documents and information between the parties to this action without involving the Court

unnecessarily in the process. Nothing in this Order nor the production of any information or

confidentiality or nonconfidentiality of any such document or information or altering any

existing obligation of any party or the absence thereof.

10. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action, to the extent that the 

information contained in Confidential Material is not or does not become known to the public,

disclosed hereunder. Upon termination of this case, counsel for the parties shall assemble and

return to each other all documents, material and deposition transcripts designated as confidential
