No party shall disclose a produced document to any person, other 11 than the persons authorized to receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 7.1, until after the 12 expiration of the fourteen (14) day designation period specified in subparagraph 4.1. If during the 13 fourteen (14) day designation period a party discloses a produced document to a person authorized to 14 receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 7.1, and that document is subsequently 15 designated as Confidential Information in accordance with subparagraph 4.1, the disclosing party shall 16 cause all copies of the document to be destroyed or returned to the producing party, at the direction of 17 the producing party.

If a party 16 inadvertently discloses documents or information subject to a claim of privilege or work product 17 protection, such disclosure will not waive otherwise applicable claims of privilege or work product 18 protection under applicable law.
