I can't find predicate in this paragrph
This is a legal documents about "CONFIDENTIALITY STIPULATION AND ORDER".
I would appreciate if someone help me find predicate in this paragraph.
All the verbs, that appears to be predicate to me, has a form of 'verb+ing'
I assume this is a kind of legal documents writing style but I am not sure, and I don't know how to translate.
Thank you for your great help again.

The first part gives the surrounding circumstances expressed in subordinate clauses and/or non-finite constructions; the second part presents the main clause which says what is going to be done or what has to be done.
If you take a look at Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation (link below), you'll find that the first part extends for three paragraphs
