644 S. Figueroa Street Los Angeles, California 90017 [phone] FAX [phone]

shall mean Litigation Material which reflects or contains any of the following: (i) technical specifications; (ii) trade secrets; (iii) confidential pricing, marketing and sales information; or (iv) any information which affords the Producing Party an actual or potential economic advantage over others. 4.

_____________________________________________________________________________ JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case5:07-cv-00333-JF Document48

Filed12/29/09 Page4 of 30

and each thing to which the designation applies a legend substantially as follows:

"RESTRICTED INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER," "RESTRICTED INFORMATION," or other similar designation; or (ii) RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY

INFORMATION, by placing on each page and each thing to which the designation applies a legend substantially as follows: "RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER," "RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION," "OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY," or other similar designation plainly indicating "Outside Counsel Only" Litigation Material. (b) Each party or non-party that designates information or items for

protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. (c) Mass indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited.

644 S. Figueroa Street Los Angeles, California 90017 [phone] FAX [phone]

Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. (d) If it comes to a Party's or non-party's attention that information or

items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 5. PROCEDURE FOR OBJECTION TO DESIGNATION. (a) The designation of an item as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION may be challenged, among other reasons, because (i) the information is or comes to be publicly disclosed in a printed publication, (ii) the information is or comes to be generally publicly known, or (iii) the information is or comes to be otherwise known to the Parties without any breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder. Any disclosure of RESTRICTED

under this Protective Order shall not serve as a basis for challenging the RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION designation of the information in question. (b) At any time prior to the final pretrial conference in this Action, any

Party may object in good faith to the designation or redesignation of any Litigation Material as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION by providing counsel for the Producing Party with written notice of the reasons for its objection. The Producing Party shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days after receiving such written notice, advise the objecting party, in writing, of the basis for its designation. Within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, the parties shall confer in a good-faith effort to resolve the matter. Failing such resolution, the Party objecting to the designation may apply to the Court for an order removing the RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION designation from the Litigation Material in question. (c) A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality

644 S. Figueroa Street Los Angeles, California 90017 [phone] FAX [phone]

designation after considering the justification offered by the Producing Party may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanies by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that set forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the Producing Party in the meet and confer dialogue. (d) The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be

on the Producing Party. Until the Court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation.

Nothing herein shall prevent the disclosure of any RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION to any of the following: (a) (b) any current employee of the Producing Party; any former employee of the Producing Party if the RESTRICTED

LIMITED DISCLOSURE TO WITNESSES TESTIFYING AT TRIAL

OR AT DEPOSITION. RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION may be made available, or the contents thereof disclosed, to witnesses testifying at trial or at deposition, or who provide an affidavit or certification, only if: (a) in the case of a document, it appears that the witness has previously

time prior to the final pretrial conference in this Action, a Producing Party may seek additional protection for previously produced Litigation Material by designating such Litigation Material as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, or changing the classification of any Litigation Material designated RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, by providing written notice to the recipients of such information, provided that no such recipient shall be bound by the terms of this Protective Order, or be subject to liability for failure to comply with such terms, until receipt of such written notice. If Litigation Material was properly shown to a person who would not be entitled to see it as newly designated or redesignated, that person shall be advised that the Litigation Material has been designated or redesignated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, as the case may be, and instructed not to use the Litigation Material for any purpose other than the litigation of this Action. 19.

NO WAIVER. (a) Nothing in this Protective Order shall prejudice the right of any

Party to object to the production of any document or part thereof upon any appropriate ground, including any applicable privilege, and nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of such right. Moreover, nothing in this Protective Order shall prejudice the right of any Party to object to the admissibility at trial of any Litigation Material or other evidentiary material on any appropriate ground, and nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of such right. (b) Entering into, agreeing to and/or complying with the terms of this

Protective Order shall not (i) operate as an admission by any Party that any particular Litigation Material contains or reflects currently valuable trade secrets or protected proprietary or commercial information; or (ii) operate as an admission by any Party that any particular Litigation Material is, or is not, relevant to this Action. 22. PARTIES' OWN INFORMATION. Nothing in this Protective Order

644 S. Figueroa Street Los Angeles, California 90017 [phone] FAX [phone]

shall limit any Producing Party's use of its own documents, things or information. Nor shall anything in this Protective Order prevent any Producing Party from disclosing its RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION to any person. Such disclosures shall not affect any designation of such information as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order so long as the disclosure is made in a manner which is reasonably calculated to maintain the confidentiality of the information. 23. DISCLOSURES BEYOND PROTECTIVE ORDER. Nothing in this

Protective Order shall prevent disclosure beyond the terms of this Protective Order (i) if the Designating Party(ies) consents to such disclosure; (ii) if the Court, after notice to all affected persons, allows such disclosure; or (iii) if the Party to whom RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION has

lawful subpoena or other legal process, provided that the subpoenaed party gives prompt written notice to counsel for the Designating Party and permits counsel for that party at least fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt of the written notice to intervene and seek judicial protection from the enforcement of the subpoena and/or entry of an appropriate protective order in the action in which the subpoena was issued 24. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED LITIGATION

MATERIAL. The inadvertent production of Litigation Material which a Party or nonparty later claims should not have been produced because of a privilege, including but not limited to the attorney-client privilege, work-product privilege or joint defense privilege ("Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material") will not be deemed a waiver of any privileges. A Party or non-party may request the return of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material. A request for the return of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material shall identify the Litigation Material inadvertently produced and the basis for withholding such Litigation Material from production. If a Party or nonparty requests the return, pursuant to this Paragraph, of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material then in custody of another party, such party shall within five (5) business days return to the requesting Party or non-party the Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material and destroy all copies thereof. The party or parties returning such Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material shall not assert as a ground for entering an order compelling production of the Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material the fact or circumstances of the inadvertent production. The return of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material shall not in any way preclude the Receiving Party from moving the Court for an order that (i) the Litigation Material was never privileged or otherwise immune from disclosure; or (ii) any applicable privilege or immunity has been waived by some act other than the production of the Litigation Material.

INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE OF RESTRICTED INFORMATION

OR RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION. (a) If any Litigation Material that a Party or non-party intends to

designate as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION is inadvertently disclosed without being marked in accordance with this Protective Order, the failure to so mark the Litigation Material shall not be deemed a waiver of its confidentiality. (b) If any Litigation Material designated as RESTRICTED

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION hereunder is disclosed, through inadvertence or otherwise, to a person or party other than a QUALIFIED PERSON or SPECIFICALLY QUALIFIED PERSON, as the case may be, then the party disclosing the information shall use its best efforts to bind such person or party to the terms of this Protective Order and (a) such person shall be informed promptly of all provisions of this Protective Order by the disclosing party; (b) such person shall be identified immediately to the Party that designated the Litigation Material as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION; and (c) the person to whom disclosure was made shall be requested to sign an Agreement to Abide by Protective Order in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which signed Agreement shall be served on the Party that designated the Litigation Material as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL INFORMATION.
