`
`Definitions
`
`1.
`
`(a)
`
`The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any tangible thing or oral

`
`interrogatories and responses to requests for admission or other discovery requests; deposition or

`
`or objects that are designated confidential pursuant to this Order. The information contained
`
`therein and all copies, abstracts, excerpts, analyses, notes or other writings that contain, reflect,
`
`reveal or otherwise disclose such confidential information shall also be deemed "Confidential
`
`Information." Information originally designated as "Confidential Information" shall not retain
`
`that status after any ruling by the Court denying such status to it. Each party shall act in good
`
`faith in designating information as "Confidential Information."
`
`(b)
`
`The term "Highly Confidential Information" shall mean all information
`
`regarding (i) confidential, highly sensitive, and/or proprietary information pertaining to

`
`to, referring to, or concerning Xyrem®, Amneal's ANDA No. 203631, Par's ANDA No. 205403,
`
`Sun's ANDA No. 203351, Watson's ANDA No. 204952, and/or the associated products
`
`(including compositions, methods, uses, or processes) that constitute or reflect trade secrets or

`
`including analytical data and/or any chemical materials used to produce a sodium oxybate(cid:173)

`containing composition that the producing party reasonably believes the disclosure of which is
`
`likely to cause harm to the competitive position of the party producing the information or could
`
`be used in patent prosecution by the party receiving the information to the competitive
`
`disadvantage of the party producing the information.
`
`It may include, without limitation,

`
`highly confidential information shall also be deemed "Highly Confidential Information."
`
`Information originally designated as "Highly Confidential Information" shall not retain that

`
`status after any ruling by the Court denying such status to it. Each party shall act in good faith in
`
`designating information as "Highly Confidential Information."
`
`(c)
`
`(d)
`
`( e)
`
`The term "party" means Jazz, Amneal, Par, Sun, and/or Watson.
`
`The term "Defendant" means Amneal, Par, Sun, and/or Watson.
`
`The term "producing party" means any party or nonparty producing
`
`documents or information as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information under
`
`this Order.
`
`(f)
`
`The term "receiving party" shall mean any party to whom Confidential
`
`Information or Highly Confidential Information is produced.
`
`Designation of Confidential and Highly Confidential Information
`
`2.
`
`Each producing party who produces or discloses any material that it believes
`
`comprises Confidential Information may so designate it by marking the document containing the
`
`information "CONFIDENTIAL-SUBJECT TO DISCOVERY CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER."
`
`Each producing party who produces or discloses any material that it believes comprises Highly
`
`Confidential Information may so designate it by marking the document containing the
`
`information "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-SUBJECT TO DISCOVERY CONFIDENTIALITY
`
`ORDER." When documents are produced for inspection, the documents shall be treated by the
`
`receiving party as "Highly Confidential" until copies are provided and otherwise designated.
`
`Deposition testimony will be treated as Highly Confidential Information unless otherwise
`
`designated or confidentiality is waived either on the record during the deposition or within thirty
`
`(30) days after receipt of the transcript. Each transcript and/or recording of the deposition shall
`
`be prominently marked on the front with a statement that provides "THIS DEPOSITION
`
`CONTAINS [HIGHLY] CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SUBJECT TO DISCOVERY
`
`CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER."

`
`3.
`
`If any Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information is produced
`
`by a nonparty to these litigations, such a nonparty shall be considered a producing party within
`
`the meaning of that term as it is used in the context of this Order and each of the parties shall be
`
`treated as a receiving party. Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information that
`
`originated with a nonparty may be designated as such and shall be subject to the restrictions on
`
`disclosure specified herein.
`
`4.
`
`In the event any producing party produces Confidential Information or Highly
`
`Confidential Information that has not been designated as such or not correctly designated, the
`
`producing party may designate or re-designate the information to the same extent as it may have
`
`designated the information before production, by a subsequent notice in writing specifically
`
`identifying the re-designated information, in which event the parties shall henceforth treat such
`
`information in accord with this Order, and shall undertake their best efforts to correct any
`
`disclosure of such information contrary to the re-designation, including retrieving any documents
`
`from persons not qualified to receive them under the re-designation and informing such persons
`
`that they should not further use or disseminate the information thereon. No demonstration or
`
`proof of error, inadvertence, or excusable neglect by the designating party shall be required for
`
`such re-designation.
`
`5.
`
`A party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation o
`
`Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information at the time the designation is made,
`
`and failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge to the designation. In the even
`
`that any party to this action disagrees at any stage of this action with any designation, such p
`
`shall provide written notice of its disagreement with the designation to the producing party. Th
`
`parties shall first try to dispose of such dispute in good faith on an informal basis without judicia

`
`involvement. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the party challenging the designation may
`
`request appropriate relief from the Court within ten (10) business days after written notice is
`
`provided. The burden of proving that information has been properly designated is on the
`
`producing party. However, the parties agree that designating information as Confidential or
`
`Highly Confidential is improper if such information (i) can be shown to be generally available to
`
`the public at the time of such designation; (ii) becomes part of the public domain or publicly
`
`known or available by publication or otherwise not as the result of any unauthorized act or
`
`omission on the part of the non-designating party; or (iii) is thereafter disclosed to the non-
`
`designating party by a third party as a matter of right.

`
`during the period of his or her service or employment and foundation is established that the

`relates so that it is reasonable that the witness had access to the Confidential or Highly
`

`
`or prosecution of any patent application that covers sodium oxybate (including compositions,

`
`such disclosure or if the Court, after notice to all parties, orders such disclosure.
`

`
`All Confidential Information and Highly Confidential Information disclosed
`
`pursuant to this Order shall be used by a recipient thereof solely for the purposes of this litigation
`
`and not for any business or competitive purposes. It shall be the duty of each party and each
`
`individual having notice of this Discovery Confidentiality Order to comply with this Order from
`
`the time of such notice.
`
`9.
`
`By written agreement of the parties, or upon motion and order of the Court, the
`
`list of individuals designated under Paragraph 6 to whom Confidential Information or Highly
`
`Confidential Information may be disclosed may be modified or expanded.
`
`10.
`
`If a producing party seeks to protect Confidential Information or Highly
`
`Confidential Information from public disclosure or use during a trial, court appearance or hearing
`
`which is open to the public (a "Court Disclosure"), the producing party shall make an application
`
`to the Court to restrict such disclosure or use, unless consent from the receiving party is
`
`previously obtained. Such application may be made at any time before the Court Disclosure or
`
`within ten (10) business days after the Court Disclosure.
`
`11.
`
`Any party filing any document, material or information designated by another
`
`party as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL" shall move pursuant to Local
`
`Civil Rule 5.3(c) to seal such document, material or information to prevent public disclosure.
`
`The party making such a motion also shall designate any document, material or information
`
`which is the subject of the motion as "confidential materials" pursuant to Local Civil Rule
`
`5.3(c)(3), and take appropriate action necessary to assure that such document, material or
`
`information shall remain sealed.

`Should a party fail to properly file documents or materials containing Confidential

`
`properly file under seal documents or materials containing Confidential Information.

`
`No person identified in Paragraph 6(a)(ii)-(viii) shall be given access to

`Highly Confidential Information to any other person, firm, or concern in violation of this
`
`Discovery Confidentiality Order; and agree never to use any Confidential or Highly Confidential
`
`Information, directly or indirectly, in competition with the party that disclosed it, nor to

`
`Before any person identified in Paragraphs 6(a)(ii)-(iii) may be given access to
`
`Confidential and/or Highly Confidential Information (if they are entitled to receive Highly
`
`Confidential Information), the party seeking to provide such access shall deliver a copy of the
`
`Declaration referred to in Paragraph 12, fully executed by such person, and written notice (by
`
`facsimile or e-mail) to the attorneys for the producing party of the intention to make such
`
`disclosure. In the case of a disclosure to persons identified in Paragraph 6(a)(iii) hereof, the
`
`notice shall state the name and address of the person to whom disclosure is proposed and include

`
`a resume of the background, qualifications and employment of such person. In the case of a
`
`disclosure to persons identified in Paragraphs 6(a)(ii) hereof, the notice shall state the
`
`individual's name and position.
`

`
`For proposed disclosures to persons identified in Paragraphs 6(a)(ii)-(iii) hereof,
`
`the producing party, within ten (10) business days from receiving service of written notice
`
`provided pursuant to Paragraph 13 hereof, may object to such disclosure by delivery (by
`
`facsimile or e-mail) of a written notice of objection on the attorneys for the party seeking to
`
`make the disclosure, stating the reasons for the objection. No disclosure of Confidential
`
`Information or Highly Confidential Information may occur prior to the expiration of ten (10)
`
`business days from the date of service of the written notice of intent to disclose unless consent is
`
`granted earlier by the producing party or Ordered by the Court. Consent pursuant to the
`
`provisions of this paragraph shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the producing party objects to
`
`the disclosure and gives written notice thereof, and the parties are unable to resolve the
`
`objection, the party opposing the disclosure must file a motion for a protective order within ten
`
`(10) business days of giving the written notice of objection; otherwise, the information may be
`
`disclosed to the identified person. If such a motion is made, no disclosure may be made until the
`
`objection is resolved by agreement of the designating and receiving parties or the Court denies
`
`the motion. Failure to timely object to the disclosure based on information then-disclosed in the
`
`written notice pursuant to Paragraph 13 hereof shall operate as a waiver of the objection. Waiver
`
`as to a specific disclosure shall not constitute waiver for any subsequent disclosures. In the event
`
`that a motion is made, the objecting party shall have the burden of proving that disclosure should
`
`not occur.

`
`16a. Nothing herein shall bar or otherwise restrict counsel from rendering advice to his
`
`or her client with respect to this litigation and, in the course thereof, referring to or relying upon
`
`his or her examination of Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information.
`
`In
`
`rendering such advice and in otherwise communicating with his or her client, counsel shall not
`
`disclose any Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information if such disclosure
`
`would be contrary to the provisions of this Discovery Confidentiality Order.

`
`Rule 5.3.

`
`If a party is served with a subpoena, discovery request in another action, or any
`
`other request seeking by legal process the production of documents, things, information or other
`
`material produced to it by another party, and designated as Confidential Information or Highly
`
`Confidential Information in this action, such party shall notify promptly the original producing
`
`party so as to provide the original producing party a reasonable opportunity to object to the
`
`secondary production. Confidential Information or Highly Confidential information of one party
`
`may not be introduced as evidence or otherwise used in support of any claim or defense against
`
`another party, other than in support of a party's claims or defenses against the party that
`
`produced the Confidential Information or Highly Confidential information in this Action.
`

`
`If an additional party joins or is joined in this action, the newly joined party shall
`
`not have access to Confidential Information and Highly Confidential Information until the parties
`
`agree to a supplemental protective order governing the protection of Confidential Information
`
`and Highly Confidential Information.
