 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

 1. This Order shall govern any testimony given at any deposition, as well as 

all documents, things, responses to interrogatories or requests for admission, and other required 

disclosures of information that are produced by any party to this action or by non-parties 

(whether informally or pursuant to any discovery obligation imposed by the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, or by any other rule or law) and any copies, 

abstracts, excerpts, summaries, analyses, or other related materials (whether in written form or 

otherwise) that contain, reflect, or disclose information contained in testimony or discovery 

materials (collectively, “Discovery Material”). This Order does not govern the use of Discovery 

Material at trial or other court hearings in this case; such use shall be governed by a separate 

protective order or other procedure agreed by the parties, or as ordered by the Court. 

 2. A Producing Party may designate Discovery Material as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” if that Party reasonably and in good faith believes that the disclosure of such 

Discovery Material would result in the disclosure of confidential information. As a general 

guideline, information or materials designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be that information 

or material that may be disclosed to the parties for the purposes of the litigation, but which must 

be protected against disclosure to third parties. Examples of such information or materials 

include materials a party reasonably and in good faith believes contain or disclose information 

that the party, in the ordinary course of business, does not or would not publicly disclose, or 

information that a party is under a preexisting obligation to maintain as confidential. Absent a 

specific order by this Court, once designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” such designated 

information shall be used by the parties solely in connection with this litigation, and not for any 

other litigation, business, competitive, or governmental purpose or function, and such 

information shall not be disclosed to anyone except as provided herein. 

 3. A Producing Party may designate Discovery Material as “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” if that party reasonably and in good faith 

believes that such Discovery Material constitutes extremely sensitive “CONFIDENTIAL” 

information whose disclosure to another party or non-party would create a substantial risk of

serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. Absent a specific order by this 

Court, once designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY,” such 

designated information shall be used by the parties solely in connection with this litigation, and 

not for any business, competitive, or governmental purpose or function, and such information 

shall not be disclosed to anyone except as provided herein. 

 4. The party seeking protection under this Order shall have the burden to 

invoke protection under this Order by giving notice, in the manner set forth below, of the 

Discovery Material to be protected by this Order. If another party, including any third party, 

produces or provides the Discovery Material, that third party or the party whose confidential 

information is being disclosed shall have the burden to invoke protection under this Order by 

giving notice, in the manner set forth below, of the Discovery Material to be protected by this 

Order. A party may invoke protection under this Order of Discovery Material produced in this 

matter prior to entry of this Order, including Discovery Material subject to the Court’s Protective 

Order dated August 22, 2005, by giving notice, in the manner set forth below, of the Discovery 

Material to be protected by this Order. The duty of any other party or person to maintain 

confidentiality under the terms of this Order shall commence with the receipt of such notice. 

 5. Documents produced that contain confidential information as set forth 

above may be designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY 

EYES ONLY” at the time of production by the Producing Party or producing third party or at 

that time any other party indicates its desire to copy a document containing such information. 

Documents shall be marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIALATTORNEY EYES ONLY,” as appropriate, on each page containing any confidential 

information or material at the time such documents are produced or copied for another party. 

Documents may be designated “CONFIDENTIAL” OR “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIALATTORNEY EYES ONLY” thereafter as soon as the party or non-party seeking protection 

becomes aware of the confidential nature of the information or material disclosed and sought to 

be protected under this Order, provided, however, no liability or sanction shall arise or be 

imposed for any disclosure by the receiving party before such post-production designation to

those not authorized to view the materials under the Order after such post-production 

designation. Documents produced by CCSF and copied by FMIC which reflect information from 

or about Bombardier shall be presumed “CONFIDENTIAL” and be treated as such by all parties. 

Documents may also be designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIALATTORNEY EYES ONLY” by any other method by mutual agreement of the parties. 

 6. If it becomes necessary for any party to include matters deemed 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” in answers to 

interrogatories or requests for admissions, the pages containing such interrogatory answers or 

admissions shall be marked prominently with the words “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY,” as the case may be. 

 7. For testimony given in deposition, the party whose information or 

documents are being disclosed shall identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, any 

portion or portions of the testimony to be designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately 

each portion of the deposition to be designated, or when it appears that substantial portions of the 

testimony may qualify for designation, that party shall invoke on the record, before the 

deposition is concluded, a right to have up to twenty (20) days after receipt of the transcript to 

identify the specific portions of the testimony to be designated (by page and line or other specific 

reference) and the designations therefore. Only those portions of the testimony that are 

appropriately designated within the twenty (20) day period shall be covered by the provisions of 

this Order. All copies of a transcript containing deposition testimony designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” shall be 

marked accordingly. The time limitations set forth above shall not apply to depositions taken in 

this matter prior to entry of this Order. 

 8. With respect to any testimony elicited during any deposition, whenever 

counsel for any party deems that any question or line of questioning calls for or has resulted in 

disclosure of information that should be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL- ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” and any representative of a party (or any other

information is permitted pursuant to this Order, and such representative is not the witness being 

examined, such representative shall be excluded from those portions of the proceeding during 

which disclosure of the information designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY,” as the case may be, occurs. 

 9. Each party or non-party 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. A designating party must take care to 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. If it comes to a 

party’s or a non-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 

party or nonparty must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken 

designation. 

 10. Except as may be permitted by prior written consent of the producing or 

designating party or by prior order of the Court, access to all Discovery Material designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” and subject to this Order shall be limited to (a) the producing or designating 

party; (b) the parties’ respective outside counsel of record in this action and regular and 

temporary employees of such counsel to whom it is necessary that the information or material be 

shown for the purposes of this litigation; (c) employees and in-house counsel of each party whose 

assistance is needed by counsel for the purposes of this litigation, and their partners, associates, 

summer associates or clerks, and other regularly employed office attorneys, paralegals or staff 

who are assisting with this action; (d) any person who is being prepared to testify in the 

reasonable and good faith belief of counsel that such person will be a witness in this action and 

that his or her preparation with respect to the document is necessary in connection with such 

testimony (“Prepared Testifying Witness”); (e) any certified shorthand or court reporters or 

persons operating video equipment at depositions retained to report a deponent’s testimony in

that party shall notify Bombardier’s counsel in writing of the name and present affiliation of the 

person to whom it intends to disclose such ‘HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS EYES 

ONLY’ material. Bombardier shall then have five (5) business days in which to object to the

counsel, of disclosed HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY information, that 

individual shall not disclose the contents of the HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES 

ONLY information to anyone, without prior actual notice to and consent of the party designating

and 11. 

 12.4 Discovery Material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

attached as Exhibit A to this Order. 

 12.5 Any party who in good faith believes it may seek to disclose or use 

‘HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY’ information or documents at a 

deposition shall, prior to the deposition, notify Bombardier’s counsel what potential ‘HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY’ information or documents it seeks to disclose 

or use so that the parties may attempt to resolve any potential issues regarding its disclosure or 

use prior to the deposition. To the extent no agreement can be reached prior to the deposition 

regarding the disclosure or use of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY” 

information or documents , the deposition may go forward without the disclosure or use of such 

potential ’HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY’ information or documents, 

subject to the deposition being resumed after the hearing on the motion to address the ‘HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY’ information or documents. Bad faith or 

frivolous designations and bad faith or frivolous objections to designations may be subject to 

appropriate sanctions as determined by the Court. 

 13. All “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY 

EYES ONLY” information and material covered by this Protective Order shall be kept in a 

manner in which to prevent unauthorized access.

defending against such subpoena, process or order. Nothing herein shall be construed as

order requiring production of information or material covered by this Protective Order, or to 

subject itself to any penalties for noncompliance with any legal process or order, or to seek any 

relief from this Court.

designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY”; provided, however, 

that in rendering such advice counsel shall not disclose, reveal, or describe the content of any

Bombardier documents and information, the designation of Discovery Material as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” shall not 

create a presumption that such material is in fact confidential or trade secret. 

 20. 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. 

 21. A party that elects to initiate a challenge to a designating party’s 

confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must reasonably attempt to begin the 

process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue) with counsel for the designating party. 

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. 

 22. A party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality designation after 

considering the justification offered by the designating party may file and serve a motion under 

Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies 

the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. The burden of 

persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the designating party. Until the court 

rules on the challenge, 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. 

 23. The parties may stipulate in writing to exceptions to this Order, provided 

however that the stipulation may not affect the protections provided to Discovery Material 

designated by a third party without the written consent of the third party as well. 

 24. The provisions of this Protective Order shall, absent written permission of 

the producing party or further order of the Court, continue to be binding throughout and after the 

conclusion of this action, including without limitation any appeals therefrom. Within sixty (60) 

days after receiving notice of the entry of an order, judgment or decree finally disposing of this 

action, including any appeals therefrom, all persons having received information or material

hereunder shall return such material and all copies thereof (including summaries and excerpts) to 

counsel for the producing party or, alternatively, shall destroy such material and provide written 

certification of such destruction to counsel for the producing party. Notwithstanding the 

foregoing, Counsel described in paragraph 10 above shall be entitled to retain court papers, 

deposition and trial transcripts and attorney work product (including court papers, transcripts, 

and attorney work product that contain information or material designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY”) provided 

that such counsel, and employees of such counsel, shall not disclose any such information and 

material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES 

ONLY” contained in such court papers, transcripts, or attorney work product to any person or 

entity except pursuant to a written agreement with the producing party of the information or 

material. All materials returned to the parties or their counsel by the Court likewise shall be 

disposed of in accordance with this paragraph. 

 25. It is the present intention of the parties that the provisions of this Protective 

Order shall govern discovery in this action. Nonetheless, each of the parties shall be entitled to 

seek modification of this Protective Order by application to the Court on notice to the other party 

for good cause. 

 26. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action unless otherwise 

agreed in writing by the parties or ordered by the Court. The Court shall have jurisdiction to 

enforcement the agreement upon motion of the party or third party who is aggrieved by any 

violation of this Order. 

 27. This Order is without prejudice to the rights of any party to apply to this 

Court for relief from any of its provisions or to seek or agree to different or additional protection 

for any particular Discovery Material. 

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

privilege, relevance, or other grounds for not producing Discovery Material called for, and access 

to such Discovery Material shall be only as provided for by separate agreement by the parties or
