This protective order ("Protective Order") shall govern the production and disclosure of personal, proprietary, or confidential information or trade secrets by or on behalf of any party or third party through the discovery and all pretrial processes. This Protective Order is not intended to govern at trial. The parties will cooperate in establishing procedures for trial and any appeal that are acceptable to the Court with respect to the protection of information designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" and "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" pursuant to this Protective Order. 2. For purposes of this Protective Order, "Discovery Materials" shall include documents, Software Code (as defined in Section 3, below), things or information produced pursuant to Rules 34 and 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, responses to requests for admissions and interrogatories, deposition testimony, and all other information that may be disclosed in the course of discovery in this action, as well as compilations or excerpts of such materials. Discovery Materials shall only be used for the prosecution and defense of this action. 3. To the extent production of software code becomes necessary to the prosecution or defense of the litigation, "Software Code" means (a) computer instructions and data definitions that are expressed in a form suitable for input to an assembler, compiler, or other translator and which must be processed by an assembler, compiler, or other translator ("Source Code") or (b) computer instructions and data definitions, which have not been commercially released by Apple or Psystar, that are capable of being executed by a computer without being processed by an assembler, compiler, or other translator ("Executable Code"). 4. "Protected Material" means any Discovery Material that is designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," as those designations are defined in Sections 6 and 7 below. Protected Materials and all information extracted, excerpted, compiled, or otherwise derived from such materials shall only be used for the purposes of prosecuting or defending this action, including any appeals. Protected Materials shall not be used for any other purpose other than those expressly identified in Section 4. 5. This Protective Order shall not abrogate or diminish any privilege or any contractual, 2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page3 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 statutory, or other legal obligation or right of any party with respect to Discovery Materials. 6. Any party or third party may identify any Discovery Materials that a party or third party deems to be entitled to protection under Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by designating such Discovery Materials as "CONFIDENTIAL." Any such designation shall be made in good faith. Discovery Materials so designated shall be marked "CONFIDENTIAL." If a party or third party produces Discovery Materials that it does not designate as "CONFIDENTIAL" but later wishes to so designate such Discovery Materials, the disclosing party shall be entitled to do so with the caveat that the provisions of this Protective Order applicable to Discovery Materials ultimately designated "CONFIDENTIAL" shall not apply until and unless such designation is made. Unless otherwise ordered by this Court or agreed to in writing by the party producing such information, information designated "CONFIDENTIAL" shall not be revealed except as expressly provided in this Protective Order. 7. If any party or third party believes that disclosure of Discovery Materials would affect its competitive position, security interests, intellectual properties, or technological developments in an adverse manner, that party or third party may designate the Discovery Materials as "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." The designation of "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" shall be limited to Discovery Materials that the disclosing party in good faith believes contain extremely sensitive confidential information, the disclosure of which would create a substantial risk of serious competitive injury. Any such designation shall be made in good faith. If a party or third party produces Discovery Materials that it does not designate as "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" but later wishes to so designate such Discovery Materials, the disclosing party shall be entitled to do so with the caveat that the provisions of this Protective Order applicable to Discovery Materials ultimately designated "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" shall not apply until and unless such designation is made. Unless otherwise ordered by this Court or agreed to in writing by the party producing such information, information designated "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" shall not be revealed except as expressly provided in this Protective Order. 8. In the event that a party or third party makes documents or things available for 3 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page4 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 inspection rather than delivering copies of documents or tangible things to another party, no marking need be made in advance of the initial inspection. For purposes of the initial inspection, all Discovery Materials shall be considered as having been marked at least "CONFIDENTIAL" unless otherwise designated by the producing party as being subject to a "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" designation or not subject to any designation otherwise governed by this Protective Order. Deposition transcript pages may be designated "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" within two weeks of receipt of the transcript if not otherwise designated earlier and shall be deemed to have been designated "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" in their entirety until those two weeks have elapsed. Testimony may also be designated on the record of any deposition as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." 9. Access to Protected Materials shall be restricted in accordance with the following provisions and paragraphs 10 through 12, below: (a) Discovery Materials designated "CONFIDENTIAL" may be disclosed to outside attorneys representing the parties in this lawsuit ("Counsel of Record") and to no more than two (2) full-time employees with settlement authority selected by each party. Any and all further disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL" Discovery Materials shall be governed by the provisions of subparagraphs (c) - (g) and paragraphs 11 and 12, below. (b) Discovery Materials designated "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" may be disclosed only to Counsel of Record. Any and all further disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials shall be governed by the provisions of subparagraphs (c) - (g) and paragraphs 11 and 12, below. (c) No copies, extracts, or summaries of any "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials shall be made except by or on behalf of Counsel of Record. Any such copies, extracts, or summaries shall also be designated and treated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials and shall not be delivered or exhibited to any persons except as provided by this Protective Order.

As used in this Protective Order, "competitive decision making" shall mean any activity, association, or relationship with a competitor that involves providing advice or participating in any decision of the competitor (e.g., pricing, product design, operations etc.). (i) Such experts and consultants shall not be permitted to provide advice, analysis, or recommendations to a competitor of the producing party on a matter involving competitive decision making while the above-entitled litigation is pending including the completion of all appeals, absent consent of the producing party, and until at least twelve (12) months after the conclusion of this litigation including the completion of all appeals.

Consultants and experts are hereby specifically advised, informed, and otherwise on actual notice that their written work product that contains or discloses the substance of "CONFIDENTIAL" and "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials is subject to all the provisions of this Protective Order. Counsel of Record disclosing "CONFIDENTIAL" and "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials to consultants shall be responsible for obtaining the executed undertaking in advance of such disclosure and also shall retain the original executed copy of said undertaking; (iii) Before receiving or having access to Discovery Materials designated "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," such experts or consultants shall execute a Declaration in the form attached as Exhibit B. Counsel of Record disclosing "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials to experts or consultants shall be responsible for obtaining the executed undertaking, including from the staff of any such expert or consultant, in advance of such disclosure and shall also retain the original executed copy of said undertaking; (iv) At least five (5) business days prior to making such disclosure-- and after having secured the undertaking identified in sub-section (iii)-- Counsel of Record associated with the expert or consultant shall provide to Counsel of Record for the party whose Protected Materials bearing the "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" designation are being disclosed a copy of the executed undertaking as well as the resume of the expert or consultant being granted access to the Protected Materials bearing the "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY."

Should a party lodge such an objection, disclosure of the Protected Materials may not take place until the parties have met, conferred, and otherwise resolved the disclosure either through negotiation or intervention of the Court. (5) Any current employee or consultant having authored or previously received the designated Protected Material during the course of his or her employment or consultancy subject to disclosure being limited to only the specific document(s) that the person in question authored or received; and (6) Any other person with the prior written consent of the party whose Protected Material is being disclosed. (e) During depositions, Counsel of Record may mark any exhibit as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" but no such "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" document, or any portion thereof, shall be attached to any publicly-available deposition or other transcript without the written consent of the party that designated the document as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY."

(1) For any "CONFIDENTIAL" Discovery Materials, Counsel of Record may question any witness who is employed by the party who produced or authored the "CONFIDENTIAL" Discovery Materials or that would reasonably have received the "CONFIDENTIAL" Discovery Materials as to the "CONFIDENTIAL" discovery materials. (2) For any "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials, Counsel of Record may only question a witness who authored or actually STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA 7 Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page8 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 received the "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Material. For any other witness, Counsel of Record must obtain either prior written consent of the party having produced the "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials or consent at the deposition but prior to showing the "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Material to the witness. In the latter instance, consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Copies of such documents containing information subject to this Protective Order and that are served on counsel for the parties shall be similarly identified and shall be maintained as "CONFIDENTIAL" and "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" as described herein. Nothing in this section shall in any way limit or detract from the requirements relative to Software Code set forth below.

The requesting party shall provide three (3) business days notice prior to any additional inspections. (b) A party producing Software Code that is designated "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" shall be permitted to give written notice to the receiving party that the receiving party must conduct its inspection and review of such Software Code in accordance with any or all of the following provisions: (i) All Software Code shall be made available by the producing party to the receiving party's outside counsel and/or experts in a private room, on a secured computer without access of any kind to the Internet or any other computer over a network, as necessary and appropriate to prevent and protect against any unauthorized copying, transmission, removal, or other transfer of any Software Code outside or away from the computer on which the Software Code is provided for inspection (the "Software Code Computer"). The producing party must produce Software Code in the form in which it is kept in the ordinary course of the producing party's business. In particular, if the producing party has any copy of Software Code in computersearchable format, the producing party will load such searchable Software Code on the Software Code Computer. In addition, the producing party shall install tools that are sufficient for viewing and searching the Software Code on the platform produced if such tools exist and are presently used in the ordinary course of the producing party's business. The receiving party's outside counsel and/or experts may request that additional software tools for viewing and searching Software Code (commercial or proprietary) be installed on the Software Code Computer for the receiving party to perform its review of the Software Code.

The receiving party's outside counsel and/or experts may create a back-up copy of the Software Code on the Software Code Computer. The receiving party may use the searching tools to annotate and number the lines of the back-up copy of the Software Code. The back-up copy will remain on the Software Code Computer and shall otherwise be subject to all of the provisions of this Protective Order governing Software Code. (ii) The receiving party's outside counsel and/or experts shall be entitled to take notes relating to the Software Code but may not copy the Software Code into the notes. Any attempt to do so shall constitute a material breach of the Protective Order. No copies of all or any portion of the Software Code may leave the room in which the Software Code is inspected except as otherwise provided herein. Further, no other written or electronic record of the Software Code is permitted except as otherwise provided herein. The producing party shall make available a laser printer with commercially reasonable printing speeds for on-site printing during inspection of the Software Code.

The producing party shall Bates number and label "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" any pages printed by the STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA 10 Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page11 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 receiving party. The producing party shall then provide one copy set of such pages to the receiving party within five (5) business days. Except as otherwise provided herein, the producing party may not videotape or otherwise monitor review of code by the requesting party. (iii) A list of names of persons who will view the Software Code will be provided to the producing party in conjunction with any written (including email) notice requesting inspection. All persons viewing Software Code shall, each day they view Software Code, (a) each sign a log including the names of persons who enter the locked room to view the Software Code; (b) when each person entered the room; and (c) when each person departed the room. A copy of the log must be available for inspection by the producing party at the producing party's request. (iv) Unless otherwise agreed in advance by the parties in writing, following each day on which inspection is done under this Protective Order, the receiving party's outside counsel and/or experts shall remove all notes, documents, laptops, and all other materials from the room that may contain work product and/or attorney-client privileged information except for the backup copy of the Software Code, which shall remain on the Software Code Computer. The backup copy of the Software Code shall be considered the receiving party's attorney work product. The producing party shall not be responsible for any other items left in the room following each inspection session.

(vi) The receiving party's Counsel of Record may make no more than ten (10) copies of any portions of the Software Code received from a producing party STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA 11 Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page12 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 pursuant to this Paragraph, not including copies attached to Court filings or used at depositions. The receiving party's Counsel of Record shall maintain a log of all paper copies of the Software Code received from a producing party that are delivered by the receiving party to any qualified person under this Protective Order. The log shall include the names of the reviewers and/or recipients of paper copies and locations where the paper copies are stored. A copy of the log must be made available by the receiving party for inspection by the producing party at the producing party's request. (vii) The receiving party's Counsel of Record and any person receiving a copy of any Software Code shall maintain and store any paper copies of the Software Code at their offices in a manner that prevents duplication of or unauthorized access to the Software Code, including, without limitation, storing the Software Code in a locked room or cabinet at all times when it is not in use. (viii) All paper copies of Software Code shall be securely destroyed in a timely manner if they are no longer in use (e.g., at the conclusion of a deposition). Copies of Software Code that are marked as deposition exhibits shall not be provided to the Court Reporter or attached to deposition transcripts; rather, the deposition record will identify the exhibit by its production numbers. (ix) Except as provided in this sub-paragraph, absent express written permission from the producing party, the receiving party may not create electronic images, or any other images, or make electronic copies, of the Software Code from any paper copy of Software Code for use in any manner (including by way of example only, the receiving party may not scan the Software Code to a PDF or photograph the code). Images or copies of Software Code shall not be included in correspondence between the parties (references to production numbers shall be used instead), and shall be omitted from pleadings and other papers whenever possible. If a party reasonably believes that it needs to submit a portion of Software Code as part of a filing with the Court, the Software Code shall be filed under seal pursuant to the Civil Local Rule 795 of the Northern District of California. In no case, however, may a Party submit more STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA 12 Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page13 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 11. Software Code as part of a filing with the Court than is necessary to argue the precise point that the Software Code supports, and any Software Code that is included on the pages submitted but which is not required to argue the precise point that the Software Code supports shall be redacted. The Court filing or other materials containing any portion of Software Code (paper or electronic) shall at all times be limited solely to individuals who are expressly authorized to view Software Code under the provisions of this Order. The receiving party shall maintain a log of all such electronic copies of any portion of Software Code in its possession or in the possession of its retained consultants, including the names of the reviewers and/or recipients of any such electronic copies, and the locations where the electronic copies are stored. A copy of the log must be made available for inspection by the producing party at the producing party's request. Additionally, any such electronic copies must be labeled "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" as provided for in this Protective Order. Should Counsel of Record for any party wish to disclose any "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials produced by another party to a person not authorized by this Protective Order to review such Protected Materials, said counsel shall first provide counsel for the producing party with a short statement of the reason for the proposed disclosure and the name, address, and business or professional affiliation and title (e.g., officer, director, etc.) of such person, by written notice, delivered by hand, e-mail or by fax, at least ten (10) business days prior to the proposed disclosure. If counsel for the producing party objects to the disclosure within said ten-day period, then the party requesting consent shall not proceed with the proposed disclosures, the parties shall engage in good faith efforts to resolve the matter informally and, if those efforts should fail, the party requesting consent may file with this Court an application or motion seeking authorization to make the proposed disclosure pursuant to paragraph 12 below. 12. If any dispute arises concerning whether information designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" should in fact be considered Protected Material with that specific designation for purposes of this Protective Order, then STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. C 08-03251 WHA 13 Case3:08-cv-03251-WHA Document54-1 Filed02/25/09 Page14 of 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 the parties shall try first to resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be so resolved, the party who has objected to the designation of the information as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" shall give written notice that such informal attempts have failed. After the party's receipt of such notice, the objecting party may file a motion asking the Court to resolve the issue. On such motion, the party asserting confidentiality shall have the burden of proving that the "CONFIDENTIAL", "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" information: (a) constitutes a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information within the meaning of Rule 26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or (b) is otherwise entitled to protection under Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Prior to the determination of such motion, the disputed information shall be treated by the parties at the level designated by the producing party. If such motion is granted and five business days have passed after entry of an order granting the motion, then the party may proceed with the proposed disclosure. 13. The disclosure of any Protected Materials pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order is not intended to be and shall not be construed as a waiver of any right or a relinquishment of any confidentiality claim as to said Discovery Materials or as a waiver of any claim that the information disclosed is a trade secret or is proprietary. 14. Upon final resolution of this litigation, including any appellate proceedings or expiration of the time allowed therefore: (a) Unless otherwise agreed, counsel for each party shall return all Discovery Materials marked "CONFIDENTIAL" and "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" received hereunder, including all copies thereof, to counsel for the party or third party that produced said materials. Counsel for each party shall also destroy all extracts or summaries of "CONFIDENTIAL" and "CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Discovery Materials or documents containing such material.
