the premises, orders, to-wit:

1. Confidential Documents, as later defined herein, and obtained by Plaintiff 

from Hytrol Conveyor Company, Inc. (“Hytrol”), during discovery in this action, shall be 

used only for the purpose of this litigation and for no other purpose whatsoever, and shall 

not be given, shown, made available or distributed in any way to anyone except 

“Qualified Persons,” as herein defined. This shall not apply to documents, otherwise 

designated as “Confidential,” but obtained from sources other than Hytrol.

produced by Hytrol to Plaintiff that contain the private, confidential, and protected 

employee information of Hytrol employees, not including documents that pertain directly 

to Plaintiff.
