PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 21 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 22 || proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 23 || disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 24 || be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 25 || enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 26 || Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 27 || discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 28 || only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

20926699v3 1 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 || under the applicable legal principles. 2 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 3 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer information, and other 4 || valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary 5 || information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any 6 || purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and 7 || proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential 8 || business or financial information, information regarding confidential business 9 || practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial information 10 | (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information 11 || otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or 12 || otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case 13 || decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to 14 || facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery 15 || materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 16 || confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of 17 || such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 18 || at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 19 || information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information 20 || will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so 21 || designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 22 || non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 23 || record of this case. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL 25 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 26 || Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 27 || under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 28 || and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court

20926699V3 2 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 || to file material under seal. 2 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 3 || proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 4 || good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 5 || County of Honolulu,

447 F.3d 1172, 1176

(9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 6 || Corp.,

307 F.3d 1206

, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 7 || Inc.,

187 F.R.D. 576, 577

(E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require 8 || good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons 9 || with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to 10 || Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation 11 || of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the 12 |} submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material 13 || sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise 14 || protectable—constitute good cause. 15 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 16 || compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 17 || relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 18 || See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n.,

605 F.3d 665, 677-79

(9th Cir. 2010). For 19 || each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced 20 || under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking 21 || protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal 22 || justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting 23 || the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. 24 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 25 || its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If 26 || documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only 27 || the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall 28 || be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety

20926699v3 3 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 || should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. DEFINITIONS 3 2.1 Action: Charles D. Stapholz v. Jaguar Land Rover North America, 4 || LLC, et. al., United States District Court — Central District, Western Division Case 5 || No. 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx. 6 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 7 || of information or items under this Order. 8 2.3. “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 9 || how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 10 || protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 11 || the Good Cause Statement. 12 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 13 || their support staff). 14 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 15 || items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 16 || “CONFIDENTIAL.” 17 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 18 || of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 19 || among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 20 || generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 21 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 22 || pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 23 || an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 24 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 25 || House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 26 || counsel. 27 /// 28 || ///

1 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association 2 || or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 3 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 4 || to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 5 || appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 6 || has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 7 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 8 || employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 9 || support staffs). 10 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 11 || Discovery Material in this Action. 12 2.13.

SCOPE 21 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 22 || Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 23 || extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 24 || compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 25 || presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 26 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 27 || trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 28 ///

20926699v3 5 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

DURATION 2 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 3 || CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced 4 || as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all 5 || members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by 6 || specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance 7 || of the trial. See Kamakana,

447 F.3d at 1180-81

(distinguishing “good cause” 8 || showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” 9 || standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the 10 || terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 13 || Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 14 || this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 15 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 16 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 17 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items 18 || or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 19 || within the ambit of this Order. 20 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 21 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 22 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 23 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 24 || Party to sanctions. 25 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 26 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 27 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 28 || ///

20926699v3 6 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 2 || Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated 3 || or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this 4 || Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 5 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 6 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 7 || but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that 8 || the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter 9 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only 10 |] a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 11 |] must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 12 || in the margins). 13 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 14 || need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 15 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 16 || before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 17 || deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 18 || documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 19 || documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before 20 || producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 21 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 22 || portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 23 || must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 24 || in the margins). 25 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies the 26 || Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition 27 || all protected testimony. 28 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

20926699V3 7 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

] || any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 2 || exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 3 || “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 4 || protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 5 |} portion(s). 6 5.3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 7 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 8 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 9 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 10 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 11 || Order. 12 CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 13 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 14 || designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 15 || Scheduling Order. 16 6.2 Meet_and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 17 || resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq. 18 6.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a 19 || joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2. 20 6.4 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 21 || the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 22 || purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 23 || parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 24 || Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 25 || continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 26 || entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 27 || challenge. 28 | ///

1 ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 2 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 3 || disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 4 || Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 5 || Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 6 || conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 7 || Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 8 || DISPOSITION). 9 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 10 || location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 11 || authorized under this Order. 12 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 13 || otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 14 || Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 15 || “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 16 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 17 || employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 18 || disclose the information for this Action; 19 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 20 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this 21 || Action; 22 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 23 || disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 24 || “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 25 (d) the court and its personnel; 26 (e) court reporters and their staff; 27 /// 28 | ///

20926699V3 9 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

l (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 2 || Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 3 || signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 4 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 5 || custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 6 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 7 || Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 8 || requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will 9 || not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 10 || “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 11 || agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 12 || deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 13 || be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 14 || as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 15 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 16 || mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 17 PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 18 IN OTHER LITIGATION 19 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 20 || that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 21 || “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 22 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 23 || include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 24 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 25 || issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 26 || or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 27 || this Stipulated Protective Order; and 28 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

20926699v3 10 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 || by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 2 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 3 || the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 4 || action as “CONFIDENTIAL.” before a determination by the court from which the 5 || subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 6 || permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 7 || protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 8 || should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 9 || to disobey a lawful directive from another court. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 11 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 12 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 13 || Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 14 || produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 15 || remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 16 || construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 17 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 18 || produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 19 || subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 20 || confidential information, then the Party shall: 21 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non- 22 || Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 23 || agreement with a Non-Party; 24 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 25 || Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 26 || specific description of the information requested; and /// 28 ///

20926699v3 11 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 2 || Non-Party, if requested. 3 (c) Ifthe Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 4 || 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 5 || may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 6 || request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 7 || not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 8 || confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 9 || Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense 10 || of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 11 || 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 13 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 14 || Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 15 || writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 16 || to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person 17 || or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this 18 || Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 19 || Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 20 |} 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 21 PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 23 || inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 24 || the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 25 || Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 26 || may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 27 || privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as 28 || the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

20926699v3 12 2:19-cv-02194-DSF-PLAx

1 || information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 2 || parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 3 || to the court. 4} }12. MISCELLANEOUS 5 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 6 || person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 7 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 8 || Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 9 || disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 10 || Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 11 || ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 12 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 13 || Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 14 || only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 15 || specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 16 || under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 17 || in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
