Disclosure may be made only if reasonably necessary to the prosecution or defense of this action. b.

Such demand shall be made promptly after the Producing Party discovers that the Protected Material was produced and shall state on a privilege log the Protected Material to be returned or destroyed (including the Bates number of the document, or if no Bates number appears on the document, sufficient information to identify the document) and the basis for the claim of privilege or protection.

-7-

that the redactions be removed). The motion shall not assert as a ground for production the fact that such documents or information was previously produced, nor shall such motion disclose or otherwise refer to the content of the documents or information (beyond any information appearing on the above-referenced privileged log, or any portion of the document that the parties agree is not Protected Material). f. The Receiving Party shall not disclose Protected Material to any person or entity that has not already had access to the material after receiving a Clawback Demand. Disclosure of Protected Material before a Receiving Party receives a Clawback Demand shall not be a violation of this Order. g. The Producing Party shall not, by reason of producing Protected Material, move to disqualify counsel for any Receiving Party whether or not the Receiving Party contests the Producing Party’s claim that it is Protected Material. 16. | This Order may be changed only by further agreement of all parties in writing or by Order of the Court and is without prejudice to the right of any party to seek modification of this Order by application to the Court on notice to the other parties. Nothing in this Order shall preclude any party from seeking judicial relief, in good faith and upon notice to the other parties, with regard to any provision hereof. 17. | Nothing in this Order shall restrict the use or disclosure of any documents or information that is or becomes public or that is obtained through lawful means independent of

.R-

discovery in this proceeding, even if the same documents or information are produced in this litigation and are designated as Confidential or Protected Material. 18. | A party’s compliance with the terms of this Order shall not operate as an admission by that party that any particular document or information is or is not (a) relevant, (b) privileged, or (c) admissible in this action. 19. | The Court shall retain jurisdiction over any matter or dispute arising from or relating to the implementation of this Order. 20. Nothing in this Stipulation and Protective Order shall limit the Producing Party’s own use of its Confidential Materials. Dated: New York, New York January 20, 2022
