information from the other Parties while providing the Parties and other third-party producing 

entities or individuals with a means for limiting access to, and disclosure of, information 

deemed confidential that is produced in this lawsuit without frequent resort to determinations of

Ownership Plan and Trust; and the legal, paralegal, secretarial, technical and other assistants 

who are employed by Counsel and to whom it is necessary to disclose Protected Material for the 

purposes of this action. Should new counsel for any new or existing party to this action desire

5. HANDLING OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

(a) Before a certified court reporter receives any CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION, he or she first shall have 

read this Protective Order and agreed in writing or on the record to be bound by the terms 

thereof. 

(b) Nothing herein shall restrict a Qualified Recipient from making working copies, 

abstracts, digests and analyses of Protected Information for use in connection with the aboveentitled litigation and such working copies, abstracts, digests and analyses shall be deemed to 

have the same level of protection under the terms of this Protective Order. Further, nothing 

herein shall restrict a Qualified Recipient from converting or translating such information into 

machine-readable form for incorporation in a data retrieval system used in connection with this 

action, provided that access to such information, in whatever form stored or reproduced, shall be 

limited to Qualified Recipients.

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION without labeling or

Order, the Producing Party may give written notice to the Receiving Party that the document or 

thing produced is deemed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY

INFORMATION and should be treated as such in accordance with the provisions of this 

Protective Order. The Receiving Party must treat such documents or things with the noticed 

level of protection from the date such notice is received. Promptly upon providing such notice 

to the Receiving Party, the Producing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with another copy 

of the documents or things that bear the new designation under this Protective Order, at which 

time the Receiving Party shall return the originally-produced documents and things (and all 

copies thereof) to the Producing Party. The Receiving Party’s disclosure, prior to the receipt of 

notice from the Producing Party of a new designation, to persons not authorized to receive such 

information shall not be deemed a violation of this Protective Order. However, the Receiving 

Party shall make a good faith effort to immediately retrieve such information from such persons 

not authorized to receive such information and to obtain an Acknowledgment and Agreement 

attached as Appendix A executed by the person to whom the disclosure was made. If such 

efforts are unsuccessful, the Receiving Party shall notify the Producing Party of the disclosure 

and the identity of the person or entity to whom the disclosure was made. 

(d) A document containing Protected Material may be used at a deposition only 

where the individuals in attendance, including the witness, either: (i) fall within the classes of 

persons identified in paragraphs 4(a) or 4(b) above as authorized to have access to the 

documents; or (ii) have been provided with a copy of this Protective Order and have agreed to 

be bound by this Protective Order by executing the Acknowledgment and Agreement attached 

as Appendix A. Any non-deponent person who refuses to the sign the Acknowledgment and 

Agreement may not attend that part of any deposition involving a document containing 

Protected Material, unless the person is counsel for the deponent. 

(e) Subject to a proper foundation, a Party or present employee of a Party may be 

examined and may testify concerning all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION produced by that Party. 

(f) Subject to a proper foundation, a former employee of a Party may be examined 

and may testify concerning all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and ATTORNEYS’ EYES

ONLY INFORMATION produced by that Party which pertains to the period(s) of his or her 

employment and/or ESOP participation. 

(g) Subject to a proper foundation, a present or former consultant to a Party (other 

than a non-testifying litigation consultant) may be examined and may testify concerning all 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION 

produced by that Party which pertains to the period(s) of his or her consultation. 

(h) Subject to a proper foundation, non-parties may be examined and may testify 

concerning any document or thing containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION of a Producing Party which clearly appears on 

its face or from other documents or testimony to have been prepared by, received by, known by 

or communicated to the non-party. 

(i) This Protective Order shall apply to any non-party from whom discovery may be 

sought pursuant to a subpoena issued under Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 

allows, but does not require, such a non-party to designate Discovery Material as 

CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. 

(j) If such designation is not made at the time of the deposition, any transcript 

containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION shall be designated as containing such information by no later than twenty 

(20) days after receiving the deposition transcript. Otherwise, such transcript shall not be 

subject to this Protective Order. 

6. DESIGNATION NOT DETERMINATIVE OF STATUS

The designation or failure to designate material as CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY shall not be determinative of that material’s status as Protected Material. Any 

Party shall have the right, within sixty (60) days following its receipt of any material designated 

as CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, to object to such designation by 

informing the other Parties in writing by letter or other document any and identifying the 

specific material challenged. If the Receiving Party believes in good faith that the volume of 

material produced requires additional time for objection, the Receiving Party shall, within

fourteen (14) days following its receipt, inform the other Parties in writing by letter or other 

written communication of the reason(s) why an extension is needed and the length of the 

extension (not to exceed thirty (30) days). If the Producing Party in good faith does not agree 

with the extension, it shall so inform the Receiving Party within fourteen (14) days of receipt of 

the Receiving Party’s communication, and then shall not be barred from arguing that any 

challenge made by the Receiving Party after expiration of the 60-day period is untimely. 

Within twenty (20) days following the receipt of such a written challenge, the 

designating Party shall substantiate the basis for such designation in writing to the challenging 

Party. Thereafter, the Parties shall attempt to resolve such challenge in good faith on an 

informal basis. If the dispute cannot be informally resolved within thirty (30) days following 

the substantiation provided to the challenging party, the Party challenging the designation may 

seek appropriate relief from the Court. The burden of proof shall be on the Party claiming 

confidentiality. Any document or thing designated CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY shall enjoy the protection of such designation until the issue relating to the propriety of 

the designation has been resolved. 

7. RIGHT TO FURTHER RELIEF

Nothing in this Protective Order shall abridge the right of any person to seek judicial 

modification or amendment of this Protective Order. 

8. RIGHT TO ASSERT OTHER OBJECTIONS

This Protective Order shall not be construed as waiving any right to assert a claim of 

privilege, relevance, or other grounds for not producing Discovery Material. 

9. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within ninety (90) days after final termination of this action, including all appeals, each 

Receiving Party shall assemble all documents and things furnished and designated by any 

Producing Party as containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY INFORMATION, and all copies, summaries and abstracts thereof, and shall either, at 

Receiving Party's option: (a) return such documents and things to the Producing Party at 

Receiving Party's expense, or (b) destroy the documents and things; provided, however, that

(90) days of final termination of the action. 

10. NO CONTRACT

This Protective Order by Stipulation is for the Court’s consideration and approval as an 

order. It shall not be construed to create a contract between the Parties or between the Parties
