commercial information; confidential information of third parties; or is otherwise protected by

“Confidential.” Pages of deposition transcripts containing Confidential Information shall be
identified in the same manner.

DAL 78,419,436v2 3-22-11DC =BK11102 PG38
comprises or contains competitively sensitive information which could be used by another Party
to obtain a competitive advantage over the producing Party.
8. A Party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a designation as
“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” at the time made, and a
failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. In the event that any Party to
this Litigation disagrees at any stage of these proceedings with the designation by the producing
Party of any information as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Outside Counsel’s Eyes
Only,” the Parties shall first try to resolve such dispute in good faith. If the dispute cannot be
resolved, the objecting Party may move the Court for an order removing the “Confidential” or
“Highly Confidential - Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” designation. Information designated as
“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” shall remain
confidential or attorneys’ eyes only, respectively, unless the Court finds otherwise.
9 This Order is without prejudice to later agreements or requests for a Party to
request that the Court give Party representatives access to certain information designated “Highly
Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only.” In the event a Party wishes to use any
Information designated “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only”
in any affidavits, briefs, memoranda of law, or other papers filed in Court in this Litigation, such
“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential” information used therein shall be filed under seal with
the Court.
10. If a Party wants to use material designated as “Confidential” or “Highly
Confidential - Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” in the deposition of someone (including third
parties) other than an employee or representative of the Party that produced the confidential
materials, then that Party shall notify the producing Party of its desite to so use such materials
D-78419436_1.DOC / 441372 6
DAL 78,419,436V2 3-22-11DC =BK11102 PG39
and identify the materials at least three (3) business days before the deposition of the non-
producing Party is to commence. The producing Party and the Party desiring to use such
material agree to confer in good faith to resolve any disputes and reach agreement on the form
(e.g., redacted versions) or manner in which the materials may be used at the deposition. If the
Party desiring to use such material and the producing Party determine to exclude the other
Parties from that portion of the deposition in which the “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential -
Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” materials are used, the Party desiring to use such material will not
use that testimony against any Party excluded from the deposition. If an agreement cannot be
reached, then the producing Party must seek a protective order from the court in order to limit
access to the materials during any deposition.
11. No “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only”
material shall be filed in the public record of this action, Any document or thing containing or
embodying such Confidential Information shall be filed under seal in compliance with Texas
Rule of Civil Procedure 76a.
12. In some cases, documents that are responsive to document requests may contain
both relevant and responsive Information and irrelevant and non-responsive Information. In
these cases, any Party may redact from the Information it produces (a) Information not relevant
to the subject matter of the Litigation and (b) Information that the Party claims 38 subject to the
attorney-client privilege, work-product privilege, a legal prohibition against disclosure, or other
privilege or immunity.
13. Except with the prior written consent of a Party, Information designated as
“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” shall be used solely for
the purpose of this Litigation. The Confidential Information shall not be communicated in any
D-78419436_L.DOC / 44137/2 7
DAL 78,419,436¥2 3-22-41DC BK11102 PG40
manner, directly or indirectly, to anyone other than a person qualified to receive such
Information under the terms of this Order. No designation shall be effective unless there is
placed or affixed on such material “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s
Eyes Only.” Testimony given at a deposition or hearing and the resulting transcript may be
designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” by an
appropriate statement on the record at the deposition that the testimony is subject to the
provisions of this Order. When such a statement is made, all Parties shall maintain the
deposition or hearing transcript and information contained therein as so designated up until thirty
(30) days after receipt of a copy of the transcript. During that period, the Party desiring to
maintain confidentiality more than thirty (30) days after a Party’s receipt of a copy of the
transcript must designate in writing those portions of the transcript regarded as “Confidential” or
“Highly Confidential - Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only.” Only those portions designated in
writing will thereafter be handled and marked in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
To the extent possible, the court reporter shall segregate into separate transcripts information
designated as “Confidential” with blank, consecutively numbered pages being provided in a non-
designated main transcript. The separate transcript containing “Confidential” information shall
have page numbers that correspond to the blank pages in the main transcript.
14, The failure of a Party to designate any Information as “Confidential” or “Highly
Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes only” prior to production shall not waive the protections
of this Order, or otherwise limit or forego any rights of the Party to preserve the confidentiality
of the Information produced. Upon discovering that “Confidential” material was inadvertently
produced without being so-designated, the Party shall notify all recipients of such Information in
writing. The recipients shall return the un-designated materials immediately, wherein the Party
D-78419436_1.DOC / 44137/2 8
DAL 78,419, 436v2 3-22-14DC BK11102 PG41
shall designate the material and retum it to the recipients, and the Information so designated shall
be treated as Confidential from and after the date of receipt of the written notification, unless and
until the designation change.
15. All Confidential Information shall be securely maintained by the Parties and any
Information Holder in possession of such Information in a secure place.
16. Producing or receiving materials or otherwise complying with the terms of this
Order shall not prejudice in any way the rights of any Party to object to the authenticity or
admissibility into evidence of any Information, testimony or evidence subject to this Order.
17. This Order has no effect upon, and its scope shall not extend to:
a. Any Party’s use of its own Confidential Information; or
b. Any Party’s use of Confidential Information obtained from a source other
than any of the producing Parties in this case.
18. If any Party receives a subpoena, a demand or any other legal process (a
“Subpoena”) by which a person or entity not a Party to this Litigation seeks information or
material which was produced or designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Outside
Counsel’s Eyes Only” in this Litigation by someone other than the Party receiving the Subpoena,
the Party receiving the Subpoena shall give prompt actual written notice (“Disclosure”), within
ten (10) days of receipt of such Subpoena to the Party(ies) who produced or designated the
information or material “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only.”
Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Party receiving the Subpoena or anyone else
covered by this Order to object to any Subpoena, or to challenge or appeal any order requiring
production of information or material covered by this Order, or to subject itself to any penalties
for noncompliance with any Subpoena, legal process or order, or to seek any relief from this
D-78419436_1.DOC / 44137/2 9
DAL 78,419,436v2 3-22-11DC BK11102 PG42
Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this paragraph precludes a
Party receiving a Subpoena from fully cooperating with any federal or state government or
agency conceming any investigation or any subpoena and, where Disclosure would violate a
subpoena, court order, statute or other law, nothing herein shall require a Party to make a
Disclosure.
19. Nothing herein shall prevent disclosure beyond the terms of this order if the Party
designating the information as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Outside Counsel’s Eyes
Only” consents to such disclosure or, if the Court, after notice to all affected Parties, orders such
disclosure, Subject to compliance with Paragraph 10 herein, nothing herein shall prevent any
counsel of record from utilizing Confidential Information or Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only
Information in the examination or cross examination at a deposition of any person who is
indicated on the document as being an author, source or recipient of the Confidential Information
or Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only Information--regardless of which Party produced such
Information.
20. Within 30 days after the conclusion of this case, including any appeals, all
Information designated and produced hereunder, and all copies thereof, shall be returned to the
producing Party, or, at the option of the receiving Party, receiving counsel shall certify in writing
that such material has been destroyed. Counsel of record may retain one set of all papers filed
with the court, including any Confidential Information filed under seal.
21. This Order shall remain in full force and effect after the termination of the
Litigation, or until canceled or otherwise modified by Order of this Court.
22. The Parties agree that a violation or threatened violation of these terms shall
constitute irreparable harm and qualify as valid grounds for seeking injunctive relief to prevent

constitutes a contract among the Parties.
