`Information Designated as Confidential Information
`
`I.A.1. For purposes of this Order, “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” shall mean all
`
`information or material produced for or disclosed in connection with this action to a receiving
`
`party that a producing party—including any party to this action and any non-party producing
`
`information or material voluntarily or pursuant to a subpoena or a court order in connection with
`
`this action—considers in good faith to comprise confidential or non-public sensitive information,
`
`the unrestricted disclosure of which could be potentially harmful to the business or operations of
`
`the party, whether embodied in physical objects, documents, or the factual knowledge of persons,
`
`and which has been so designated by the producing party. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
`
`shall mean material the producing party believes in good faith is not generally known to others,
`
`and that the producing party (i) would not normally reveal to third parties except in confidence or
`
`has undertaken with others to maintain in confidence, (ii) believes in good faith is protected by a
`
`right to privacy under federal or state law or any other applicable privilege or right related to
`
`confidentiality or privacy, or (iii) believes in good faith to constitute or to contain confidential
`
`and/or proprietary information not otherwise known or available to the public.
`
`CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall include all material referring or relating to the
`
`foregoing, including but not limited to copies, summaries, and abstracts of the foregoing. Any

`CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION obtained by any party from any person pursuant to
`
`discovery in this litigation may be used only for purposes of this action and any appeal thereof.

`“CONFIDENTIAL” (or other appropriate designation) prior to or at the time copies are

`
`be designated by the producing party by informing the receiving party of the designation in
`
`writing at the time of production.
`
`I.A.4. Any documents (including physical objects) made available for inspection by
`
`counsel for the receiving party prior to producing copies of selected items shall initially be
`
`considered, as a whole, to constitute CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (unless otherwise
`
`designated at the time of inspection) and shall be subject to this Order. Thereafter, the producing
`
`party shall have a reasonable time to review and designate the appropriate documents as
`
`CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (or otherwise as appropriate) prior to furnishing copies to

`the receiving party.

`
`
`such input/output ports enabled so that the computer may be connected to the producing party’s
`
`internal network, and provided further that such connection shall not be used by the producing
`
`party’s litigation department or outside counsel to monitor the receiving party’s activities while
