The request is narrowly tailored to protect the terms of these confidential
12
settlement agreements to which Zynga is a party and under which Zynga has a duty to maintain
13
their confidentiality.

4.
Zynga has compelling reasons and a significant interest in complying with these
15
settlement agreements by maintaining the confidentiality of their terms, and would be prejudiced
16
if such information became publicly available.

5.
As EA is also a party to the confidential settlement agreements at issue and bound
18
by the same confidentiality requirements, Zynga anticipates that EA will not oppose this
19
application.
