Any summaries or notes prepared from any document marked

"CONFIDENTIAL" are subject to the provisions of this Protective Order. 3. The production of any document marked "CONFIDENTIAL" hereunder

This order shall not be deemed to encompass documents or information

that is available in the public domain. 5. The parties shall not file with the Court (except under seal in an envelope

marked with the caption of the case, a list of contents, and the following notation: "Contains Confidential Information; To be opened only by or as directed by the Court"), any document, brief, pleading, discovery, or answers to discovery, including interrogatories, requests to produce, or deposition transcripts, which contain the CONFIDENTIAL documents or information from the CONFIDENTIAL documents, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, or mutually agreed upon by the parties.

CONFIDENTIAL documents, including those provided to experts or consultants, shall be returned to the producing party along with all copies thereof, at the written request of the producing party. 8. Either party may bring before the Court, for ruling thereon, any problems

or difficulties which arise as a result of this Order, or for the purposes of modifying the Order, or for an Order declaring documents designated CONFIDENTIAL by a party as not confidential. Until the Court rules on such motion, documents designated as CONFIDENTIAL still remain confidential under the terms of this Order.
