AGREED DISCOVERY CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER THIS CAUSE came before the Court on the Joint Motion for Entry of Agreed Discovery Confidentiality Order, and it appearing that discovery in the above-captioned action is likely to involve the disclosure of confidential information, it is ORDERED as follows: 1. Any party to this litigation and any third-party that executes Exhibit 1 to this

Case 1:13-cv-01225-JCC-IDD Document 39-1 Filed 01/22/14 Page 2 of 11 PageID# 157

CONFIDENTIAL- SUBJECT TO DISCOVERY CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER N.O.M. v. United States, 13-1225 (E.D. Va.) (hereinafter Confidential). Electronically Stored

Va.). 2. Confidential material may be used or disclosed by the receiving party only for

purposes of preparing for and conducting the prosecution or defense of this action, including any appeals. More specifically, Confidential material may be used as evidence or for impeachment purposes in the context of depositions, dispositive motions and hearings, and at trial. Confidential material shall not be disclosed by the receiving party to anyone other than those set forth in Paragraph 3, unless and until the restrictions herein are removed either by written agreement of counsel for the parties, or by Order of the Court. 3. The parties and counsel for the parties shall not disclose or permit to be disclosed

employee of the party or outside counsel to the party; b. Disclosure may be made to employees of an attorney representing a party

to this litigation, and employees of the Department of Justice or the Department of the Treasury, including the Office of Chief Counsel and the Internal Revenue Service, to properly accomplish any purpose or activity described in 26 U.S.C. 6103(h) or (k) and the regulations thereunder, which is appropriate in handling

Case 1:13-cv-01225-JCC-IDD Document 39-1 Filed 01/22/14 Page 4 of 11 PageID# 159

g.

Any present and/or former owner, officer, member and/or manager of the

Plaintiff who are required to participate in decisions with reference to this lawsuit; and h. Any present and/or former owner, officer, member and/or manager of

Plaintiff who was involved in the subject matter of this action, provided they have signed a non-disclosure agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 4. Confidential material shall be used only by individuals permitted access to it

under Paragraph 3. Confidential material, copies thereof, and the information contained therein, shall not be disclosed in any manner to any other individual, until and unless (a) outside counsel for the party asserting confidentiality waives the claim of confidentiality, or (b) the Court orders such disclosure. 5. With respect to any depositions that involve a disclosure of Confidential material,

the portion of the deposition regarding the Confidential material may be designated as confidential, if such designation is made on the record at the time of the deposition or if the party claiming confidentiality, or its counsel, is not present at the deposition, then such party shall have until ten (10) days after receipt of the deposition transcript within which to inform all other parties that portions of the transcript are to be designated Confidential. This period may be extended by agreement of the parties. No such deposition transcript shall be disclosed to any individual other than the individuals described in Paragraph 3 above and the deponent during these ten (10) days, and no individual attending such a deposition shall disclose the contents of the deposition to any individual other than those described in Paragraph 3 above during said ten (10) days. Upon being informed that certain portions of a deposition are to be designated as Confidential, all parties shall immediately cause each copy of the transcript in its custody or

Case 1:13-cv-01225-JCC-IDD Document 39-1 Filed 01/22/14 Page 5 of 11 PageID# 160

control to be appropriately marked and limit disclosure of the designated portion(s) of the transcript in accordance with this Confidentiality Order. 6. If counsel for a party receiving documents or information designated as

Confidential hereunder objects to such designation of any or all of such items, the following procedure shall apply: (a) Counsel for the objecting party shall serve on the designating party or

Covered Third Party a written objection to such designation, which shall describe with particularity the documents or information in question and shall state the grounds for objection. Counsel for the designating party or Covered Third Party shall respond in writing to such objection within ten (10) days, and shall state with particularity the grounds for asserting that the document or information is Confidential. If no timely written response is made to the objection, the challenged designation will be deemed to be void. If the designating party or Covered Third Party makes a timely response to such objection asserting the propriety of the designation, counsel shall then meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute. (b) If a dispute as to a Confidential designation of a document or item of

information cannot be resolved by agreement, the designating party may move for a ruling from the Court, designating the material as confidential or for other similar protection, within fourteen (14) days after the expiration of the ten (10) day period referenced in (a) above. The document or information that is the subject of the filing shall be treated as originally designated pending resolution by the Court. If the parties disagree about whether the information is Confidential and the designating party does not timely move the Court, then the document, information, or testimony is deemed to be not confidential.

Case 1:13-cv-01225-JCC-IDD Document 39-1 Filed 01/22/14 Page 6 of 11 PageID# 161

7.

All requests to seal documents filed with the Court shall comply with Local Civil

Rule 5 of the Local Rules for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. 8. If the need arises for any party to disclose Confidential information in support of a

dispositive motion, it may do so only after giving seven (7) days notice to the producing party who, after a good faith effort to meet-and-confer, may seek additional relief from the Court. 9. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the inadvertent or unintentional

disclosure of Confidential material that should have been designated as such, regardless of whether the information, document or thing was so designated at the time of disclosure, shall not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a partys claim of confidentiality, either as to the specific information, document or thing disclosed or as to any other material or information concerning the same or related subject matter. Such inadvertent or unintentional disclosure may be rectified by notifying in writing counsel for all parties to whom the material was disclosed that the material should have been designated Confidential within a reasonable time after disclosure. Such notice shall constitute a designation of the information, document or thing as Confidential under this Discovery Confidentiality Order. 10. This Discovery Confidentiality Order shall not deprive any party of its right to

object to discovery by any other party or on any otherwise permitted ground. This Discovery Confidentiality Order is being entered without prejudice to the right of any party to move the Court for modification or for relief from any of its terms, and without prejudice to the parties modification by written agreement. 11. Nothing in this Order, including the provisions for resolving disputes regarding

the designation of certain material as Confidential, shall serve as the basis for refusing to produce

Case 1:13-cv-01225-JCC-IDD Document 39-1 Filed 01/22/14 Page 7 of 11 PageID# 162

that particular material or any other information as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 12. Notwithstanding any provision of this Order, where counsel believe confidential

information or documents, either on its face or in conjunction with other information, indicates a violation or potential violation of law criminal, civil, or regulatory in nature the relevant information may be disclosed to the appropriate federal, state, local, foreign, or tribal law enforcement or regulatory authority or other appropriate agency charged with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such a violation or enforcing or implementing such law. 13. Notwithstanding any provision of this Order, the parties may disclose confidential

information or documents if necessary to comply with a subpoena or court order, whether or not originating with the Court in this captioned civil action. Within seven (7) days of when it is recognized that disclosure of confidential information or documents is required to comply with a subpoena or court order, the party shall give prompt written notice to the designating party of the impending disclosure, unless otherwise prohibited by law. 14. This Discovery Confidentiality Order shall survive the termination of this action

and shall remain in full force and effect unless modified by an Order of this Court or by the written stipulation of the parties filed with the Court. 15. Upon final conclusion of this litigation, including appeals, all material designated

as Confidential in accordance with this Order shall either be destroyed or returned to the designating party within sixty (60) days after the conclusion of the litigation, except with respect to (a) material that becomes a part of the Court record in this matter or any appeals; (b) work product of counsel; (c) transcripts, exhibits, and other documents required to be maintained by the Department of Justices written record retention policy as necessary for an understanding the
