Prior to applying to the Court for such an order, the party seeking to reclassify Confidential information shall meet and confer with the other party and notice all individuals to whom the documents pertain. Until the matter is resolved by the parties or the Court, the information in question shall continue to be treated according to its designation under the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order.

If any document or information designated as confidential pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order is used or disclosed during the course of a deposition, that portion of the deposition record reflecting such material shall be stamped with the appropriate designation. The Court reporter for the deposition shall mark the deposition transcript cover page and all appropriate pages or exhibits and each copy thereof, in accordance with this Stipulated Protective Order. Only individuals who are authorized by this Stipulated Protective Order to see or receive such material may be present during the discussion or disclosure of such material.

15. After the conclusion of this litigation, all documents and materials, in whatever form stored or reproduced containing confidential information will remain confidential, and if filed with the Court shall remain under seal. All documents and materials produced pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order shall be destroyed. All parties agree to ensure that all persons to whom confidential documents or materials were disclosed shall be destroyed.

16. No later than 30 days after the conclusion of this litigation, all persons having received the confidential documents shall be advised to destroy said documents by the party who produced them.

17. This Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue to be binding on all parties and affected persons after this litigation terminates, subject to any subsequent modifications of this Stipulated Protective Order for good cause shown by this Court or any Court having jurisdiction over an appeal of this action. After this action terminates, any party may seek to modify or dissolve this Stipulated Protective Order by Court order for good cause shown or by the stipulation of the parties.

18. The Court shall retain jurisdiction, even after this lawsuit terminates, (a) to make such amendments, modifications and additions to this Stipulated Protective Order as it may from time to time deem appropriate upon good cause shown; and, (b) to adjudicate any dispute respecting the improper use or disclosure of confidential material.
