IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 

DEFINITIONS 

1. “Material” shall mean and refer to all documents and electronically stored 

information, within the meaning of Fed. R. Civ. P. 34, made applicable to this Title III

Material produced by any Respondent or non-party (each referred to herein as a “Producing 

Party”) that the Producing Party considers in good faith to contain commercial, financial, trade 

secret, research and development, or personal information of a proprietary nature that is not 

known to, or has not generally been made available to, the public or other information the 

disclosure of which, in the good faith judgment of the Producing Party, would be detrimental to

3. “Qualified Persons” shall mean and refer to: 

(a) Employees of the Parties and their affiliates, House Counsel, 

Outside Counsel of Record for each Party and their paralegals and

assisting in the conduct of the mediation; 

(d) deposition witnesses; 

(e) the Court and all persons assisting the Court in this Title III 

proceeding, including law clerks, court reporters, translators, and

(f) translators and outside litigation support vendors (including

electronic discovery matters, and trial consultants) retained by a 

Party in connection with this Title III proceeding; 

(g) persons who are authors, addressees, and recipients of documents 

containing Confidential Material to the extent they have previously 

had lawful access to such documents; and 

(h) professional court reporters and their staff engaged to transcribe

4. “House Counsel” shall mean and refer to attorneys who are employees of 

a Party or an affiliate of a Party. 

5. “Outside Counsel of Record” shall mean and refer to attorneys who are 

not employees of a Party but are retained to represent or advise a Party and have appeared in this 

matter on behalf of that Party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of 

that Party, or contract or temporary attorneys who have been retained, through an agency or 

directly, by a law firm which has appeared on behalf of a Party. 

SCOPE AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS ORDER 

6. This Stipulated Protective Order shall be applicable to, and shall govern, 

all Material produced and disclosed pursuant to a Rule 2004 examination and DIP Discovery or 

any discovery that may arise in connection with any contested matter in this Title III proceeding, 

and shall remain in effect until further order of the Court. The protections conferred by this 

Stipulated Protective order cover not only Confidential Material, but also (1) any information 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2497 Filed:02/13/18 Entered:02/13/18 21:48:25 Desc: Main

Document Page 4 of 27
 - 5 - 

copied or extracted from Confidential Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 

compilations of Confidential Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by 

Parties or their counsel that might reveal Confidential Material. The Parties agree that issues 

relating to the use of Confidential Material will be revisited in advance of any evidentiary 

hearing or trial in this Title III proceeding. 

7. All Material, including, but not limited to, Confidential Material produced 

in this Title III proceeding, shall be used only in connection with this proceeding, and not for any 

other business, competitive, personal, private, public, or other purpose whatsoever. This 

Stipulated Protective Order shall be binding on the Parties to this Title III proceeding and their 

successors, parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, employees, officials, agents, retained 

consultants and experts, and any persons or organizations over which they have direct control. 

DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 

8. Any Respondent or non-party may designate any Material as Confidential 

Material by affixing the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each item satisfying the definitions set 

forth above. For the avoidance of doubt, Material that Respondents have uploaded to the 

Intralinks Data Room is subject to Nondisclosure Agreements and, in the case of Material 

provided in connection with mediation, Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence 408 and the 

mediation agreements. Respondents may designate any Material in the data room as 

Confidential Material subject to this Order by written notice to the Movants without the need to 

affix any additional marking or designation. 

9. If a Respondent or non-party elects to make Confidential Material 

available for inspection, the producing party need not mark the Material in advance of any such 

inspection, but instead, if items are selected for copying, may affix the labels to the selected 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2497 Filed:02/13/18 Entered:02/13/18 21:48:25 Desc: Main

Document Page 5 of 27
 - 6 - 

items at that time. All Confidential Material inspected, but not copied, is to be treated as 

Confidential. 

10. Where a Respondent or non-party produces electronic files in native 

electronic format, such electronic files and documents may be designated for protection under 

this Stipulated Protective Order by appending to the file names or designators information 

indicating whether the files contain Confidential Material, or by any other reasonable method for 

appropriately designating such information produced in electronic format, including by making 

such designations in reasonably accessible metadata associated with the files. Where 

Confidential Material is produced in electronic format on a disk or other medium that contains 

exclusively Confidential Material, the “CONFIDENTIAL” designation may be placed on the 

disk or other medium. When electronic files or documents in native form are printed for use at 

deposition, in a court proceeding, or for provision to any Qualified Person in accordance with the 

terms of this Stipulated Protective Order, the Party printing the electronic files or documents 

shall affix a legend to the printed documents saying “CONFIDENTIAL” and include the 

production number and designation associated with the native file. 

11. Whenever discovery is sought from a non-party, a copy of this Stipulated 

Protective Order shall accompany the discovery request or subpoena. Any non-party producing 

Materials pursuant to a subpoena or otherwise (“Third-Party Material”) may also designate items 

as being Confidential at the time of production, and such designation will have the full effect 

given to such labels by this Stipulated Protective Order. If any Party chooses to challenge a nonparty’s designation of Third-Party Material as “Confidential” under the procedures set forth in 

paragraph 15, the producing non-party, or the other Party, may oppose that challenge. However, 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2497 Filed:02/13/18 Entered:02/13/18 21:48:25 Desc: Main

Document Page 6 of 27
 - 7 - 

nothing herein shall be deemed to permit non-parties to review or obtain any documents or 

things designated as Confidential by any Party other than in accordance with paragraphs 16-17. 

12. In the case of deposition testimony and related exhibits, any Party may 

designate portions of the transcript (including exhibits) Confidential by making a statement to 

that effect on the record during the course of the deposition, or by written notice to the other 

Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the transcript; provided that the entire deposition 

transcript shall be treated as Confidential prior to each Party’s designation or the expiration of 

the 30-day period, whichever comes first. If the designation is made during the course of the 

deposition, or if a witness believes an answer will require him to divulge Confidential Material, 

or if the attorney taking the deposition believes that the question will divulge Confidential 

Material, all persons not permitted access to such Confidential Material under the terms of this 

Stipulated Protective Order shall be excluded from the deposition room and the designating party 

shall instruct the court reporter to place the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” on the pages containing 

that information and to place on the cover of the transcript the legend “CONTAINS 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS.” Where the designation is made after receipt of the transcript, 

each Party shall be responsible for marking the designated transcripts with the appropriate 

legend, as instructed by the designating Party. 

13. The failure to designate Material as Confidential shall not be deemed a 

waiver in whole or in part of the claim of confidentiality. Upon prompt notice from the 

producing Party of such failure to designate, the receiving Party shall cooperate to restore the 

confidentiality of the Confidential Material. No Party shall be held in breach of this Stipulated 

Protective Order if, prior to notification of such later designation, such Confidential Material had 

been disclosed or used in a manner inconsistent with such later designation. The producing Party 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2497 Filed:02/13/18 Entered:02/13/18 21:48:25 Desc: Main

Document Page 7 of 27
 - 8 - 

shall provide substitute copies bearing the corrected designation. The receiving Party shall return 

or certify the destruction of the previously undesignated Material. 

14. The Parties agree that inadvertent production of information that is subject 

to the attorney-client privilege, deliberative process privilege, or work-product immunity does 

not waive any privilege or immunity if a request for return of such documents or information is 

made promptly after the producing Party learns of its inadvertent production. A Party receiving 

a request for the return of inadvertently produced documents shall promptly return the 

inadvertently produced documents to the producing Party and destroy all remaining copies of the 

inadvertently produced documents, including electronic, paper, and other copies. 

15. This Stipulated Protective Order shall not foreclose any Party from 

seeking a ruling from the Court that a Party (or non-party) has improperly designated Material 

(or Third-Party Material) as Confidential Material. If a Party believes documents have been 

inappropriately labeled as Confidential, it shall identify with particularity the document(s) or 

information that it contends should be designated differently and state the grounds for each 

objection with particularity. Thereafter, the Parties (or Party and non-party) shall meet and 

confer in an attempt to resolve the dispute without Court intervention within five days of receipt 

of the written list of challenged documents. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the objecting Party 

may file with the Court a “Motion to Remove Confidential Designation.” The Party (or nonparty) asserting confidentiality shall have the burden of establishing that the information should 

be protected from disclosure. Except as otherwise permitted under this Order, no Party shall 

disclose any Material labeled Confidential unless and until there is an order from the Court 

ordering the designation to be removed.

TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 

16. The substance or content of Confidential Material, as well as copies, notes 

and memoranda relating thereto, shall not be disclosed or made available to anyone other than 

Qualified Persons identified in paragraph 3(a) – (h), and no person shall disclose such 

information to those Qualified Persons identified in paragraph 3(b), (d), (f), or (h) herein without 

furnishing to such person a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order and obtaining from that 

person an executed Confidentiality Agreement the form of which is set forth in Attachment A. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the entry of this Stipulated Protective Order by the Court, 

Confidential Material may be shown to a Qualified Person identified in paragraph 3(b), (d), (f), 

or (h) if such person is shown a draft of this Stipulated Protective Order and agrees to be bound 

by its terms. Such person must promptly execute a Confidentiality Agreement once this 

Stipulated Protective Order is entered by the Court. 

17. If any Qualified Person permitted access to Confidential Material receives 

a subpoena or documentary demand that encompasses any Confidential Material produced 

pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order, that Qualified Person shall object thereto and 

provide prompt written notice to the Party or non-party who originally produced the Confidential 

Material. If any Material designated as Confidential is disclosed, through inadvertence or 

otherwise, to anyone not authorized under the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order, then the 

person inadvertently disclosing the Confidential Material shall use his or her best efforts to bind 

the recipient to the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order. Such person shall be informed 

promptly of all the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, identified to the non-disclosing 

Party, and requested to execute a Confidentiality Agreement the form of which is set forth as 

Attachment A.

18. Any Confidential Material filed with or otherwise submitted to the Court 

shall be filed or submitted under seal consistent with the local rules for the United States 

Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico, and any case management procedures 

governing this Title III proceeding. Any motion to file material under seal must include 

information sufficient to demonstrate that the sealed filing is warranted despite the First 

Amendment and common law rights of access to judicial documents. If any Confidential 

Material is used in any court proceeding, it shall not lose its designation through such use, and 

the Parties shall take all steps required to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Material 

during such use, including but not limited to designating the portions of the hearing transcript 

concerning such Material as Confidential. 

19. The restrictions imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order may be 

modified or terminated only by written stipulation of the Parties or by order of the Court. This 

Stipulated Protective Order shall not prevent any Party or non-party from seeking additional 

protective orders, or from seeking relief, including injunctive and/or other equitable remedies, or 

from asserting evidentiary objections, in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the 

disclosure or use of Confidential Material. This Court shall retain full and exclusive jurisdiction 

during the pendency of this case and thereafter to enforce this Stipulated Protective Order and to 

grant relief for any violation thereof. All Parties to this agreement and all signatories of 

Attachment A hereto explicitly consent to the jurisdiction of this Court for such purposes. 

20. Nothing herein shall be construed as (a) preventing any Party from 

continuing to use any Material in the public domain or that subsequently becomes a part of the 

public domain other than as a result of any act of such Party or of disclosure in violation of this 

Stipulated Protective Order; (b) limiting a Party’s use or disclosure of its own information 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2497 Filed:02/13/18 Entered:02/13/18 21:48:25 Desc: Main

Document Page 10 of 27
 - 11 - 

designated as Confidential; (c) preventing the disclosure of Confidential Material with the 

consent of the designating Party or non-party; or (d) preventing a Party from continuing to use 

any information or Material that it had the right to use and which was obtained independently of 

disclosure in this Title III proceeding. 

21. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a limitation upon, or a waiver of, the 

rights of the Parties or any objections the Parties may have, under the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, or the Federal Rules of Evidence. 

RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 

22. At the conclusion of this Title III Proceeding, by way of final judgment, 

settlement or otherwise, including all appeals, all Confidential Material, along with all copies, 

summaries and compilations thereof (except documents filed with the Court, depositions 

transcripts, and work product) shall be (a) returned to counsel for the designating Party or nonparty; or (b) destroyed (and certified by affidavit as having been destroyed) by counsel for the 

Party in possession thereof. If any person is unable to destroy or return the Confidential Material 

upon reasonable effort, or is prevented from destroying or returning such Material due to 

operation of law, this requirement shall be excused; however, all other duties with respect to the 

confidentiality of this Material shall remain in effect. At the conclusion of this Title III 

proceeding, the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order shall continue to be binding upon 

all persons subject to this Stipulated Protective Order.
