When providing the Protected Material to an Authorized Person, the defendant's counsel must inform the Authorized Person that the Protected Material is provided subject to the terms of this Protective Order and that the Authorized Person must comply with and is independently bound by the terms of this Protective Order.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT upon the final disposition of this case, including after disposition of any appeal or collateral review, the defendant, the defendant's counsel, and any Authorized Persons shall return all Protected Material to the government as so requested by the government.
