18 | 1. | PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 19 Because this action involves, inter alia, claims of misappropriation of trade secrets, || disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, 21 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from || use for any purpose other than prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation may be || warranted. Accordingly, Cutera, Inc. and Lutronic Aesthetics, Inc. (the “Parties’”) hereby stipulate || to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order (“Order’’).

25 The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all || disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and || use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under || the applicable legal principles. The Parties further acknowledge, as set forth in section 12.3 (Filing FOX LLP A La crore em MASE 2 EUV MVM EV ING INE MMIC OD PIA Ie AY et || Protected Material), below, that this Order does not entitle them to file confidential information || under seal; Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 5.2, 7, and 26, as well as Local Rules 141, 141.1, 143, || and 251, set forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when || a party seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal.

22 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to || the litigation who: (1) has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or || as a consultant in this action, (2) is not a past or current employee of a Party or of a Party’s || competitor, and (3) at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or || of a Party’s competitor./// 27 2.8 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or || Items: extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” disclosure of which to another Lat -4- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATIANT TA CTT CG DPATECTIVE APHED ANT DONATECTIVE APNHEP MASE 2 EUV MVM EV ING INE MMIC OPI I er Ye YO et || Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less || restrictive means.

SCOPE 22 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material || (as defined above), but also: (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) || all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, || conversations, or presentations by the Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

26 || However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following || information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving || Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of Lat -5- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATION TOA CIT GC DPATECTIVE APHEP ANT PPNTECTTIVE APHEP 2 IN MMIC OPI I ee Ye VV et || publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record || through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the || disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the || information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use || of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

6 || 4. DURATION 7 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this || Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order || otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of: (1) dismissal of all claims || and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the || completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, || including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to || applicable law.

14 || 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 15 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 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. To the || extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts || of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify — so that other || portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not || warranted are not swept unyustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

22 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. 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.

26 If it comes to a Designating 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 Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing or Lat -6- FRANCISCO QTIDITIT ATIOW! THY LTT GC DROVTITRCTIVE MRHELPRP ANTI DRAYTROTIVE OMRHLP wOASe 2 ING INI MMIC OD PIA er et || amending the mistaken designation.

2 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order || (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, || Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so || designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

6 Designation in conformity with this Order includes the following requirements: 7 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but || excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party || affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES || ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material || on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected || portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, || the level of protection being asserted.

14 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection || need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material || it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the || material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - || ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants || copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, || qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the || Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (‘CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY || CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to each page that contains Protected Material.

23 || If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party || also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the || margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted.

26 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the || Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other || proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. When it is Lat -7- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATION TOA CIT GC DPATECTIVE APHEP ANT PPNTECTTIVE APHEP wOASe 2 EV ING IN MMIC OD PIA I er Ye OV et || impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it || appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party || may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right || to have up to 21 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is || sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony || that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the || provisions of this Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the deposition or up to || 21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated as || “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

10 Parties shall give the other Parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, || hearing or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other Parties can ensure || that only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to || Be Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit || at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or || “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

16 Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title || page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a || list of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as || Protected Material and the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The || Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that || is prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during || that period as if it had been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES || ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the || transcript shall be treated only as actually designated.

25 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other || tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container || or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or || “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the Lat -8- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATION TOA CIT GC DPATECTIVE APHEP ANT PPNTECTTIVE APHEP wOASe 2 EV ING IN MMIC OPI I ee Ye I et || information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify || the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted.

3 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to || designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s || right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a || designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated || in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

8 || 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 9 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of || confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality || designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic || burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to || challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the || original designation is disclosed.

15 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process || by providing written notice to the Designating Party of each designation it is challenging and || describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been |} made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in || accordance with this specific paragraph of this Order. The Parties shall attempt to resolve each || challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (orally, by phone or in || person; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of the || Challenging Party’s service of notice. In meeting and conferring, the Challenging Party must || explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the || Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the || circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen || designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it || has engaged in this meet-and-confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is || unwilling to participate in the meet-and-confer process in a timely manner.

Lat -9- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATION TOA CIT GC DPATECTIVE APHEP ANT PPNTECTTIVE APHEP MASE 2 UVM ING NID MMVUEEIOCTIL OO PC I er PAY tN I et 1 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court || intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under || Local Rule 251 (and in compliance with Local Rules 141 and 141.1, if applicable) within the earlier || of 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the Parties agreeing that the meet- || and-confer process will not resolve their dispute. Each such motion must be accompanied by a || competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet-and-confer || requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a || motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall || automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, |} the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation, including a |} declaration affirming compliance with the meet-and-confer requirements set forth in the preceding || paragraph, at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation || of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof.

14 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating || Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose || unnecessary expenses and burdens on the Designating Party) may expose the Challenging Party to || sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file || a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all Parties shall continue to treat the material || in question with the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s || designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

21 | 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or || produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, || defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to || the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has || been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL || DISPOSITION).

28 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in La - 10- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATION TOA CIT GC DPATECTIVE APHEP ANT PPNTECTTIVE APHEP wOASe 2 UVM □□ ING NI OO PCA I er AY tt I et || a secure manner, including in password-protected form, that ensures that access is limited to the || persons authorized under this Order.

3 7.2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered || by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any || information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 6 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as || employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the || information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be || Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 10 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the || Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed || the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 13 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is || reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement |} to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (d) the Court and its personnel; 17 (e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and || Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have || signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 20 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably || necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), || unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court.

This provision || is not intended to modify any procedure subsequently established in an e-discovery order that || provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) || and (e), insofar as the Parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or || information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the Parties may || incorporate their agreement in this Order.

20 |} 12. MISCELLANEOUS 21 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any Party to seek || its modification by the court in the future.

23 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Order, no Party || waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or || item on any ground not addressed in this Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on || any ground to the use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Order.

27 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party may not file any Protected Material in this action || in the public record without: (1) written permission from the Designating Party or (2) following Lat - 16- FRANCISCO CTIDITT ATION TOA CIT GC DPATECTIVE APHEP ANT PPNTECTTIVE APHEP OU VM EO ING NID MMIC OO POC I er AY tO et || the issuance of a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons. A Party that || seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Local Rule 141. Protected || Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific || Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a || request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, || or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected || Material under seal pursuant to Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party || may file the Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Local Rule 141(e)(1) unless || otherwise instructed by the court.

10 |} 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 11 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each || Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material.

13 || As used in this section, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, || summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether || the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written || certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) || by the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material || that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, |} abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the || Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy || of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, || correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant || and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival || copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Order as set forth in || section 4 (Duration).

11 /s/ Dana J. Finberg DANA J. FINBERG (SBN 257459) CONCLUSION IS Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, IT IS SO ORDERED.

16 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT: 17 1. Requests to seal documents shall be made by motion before the same judge who will |! decide the matter related to that request to seal.

19 2. The designation of documents (including transcripts of testimony) as confidential pursuant to this order does not automatically entitle the parties to file such a document with the |! court under seal. Parties are advised that any request to seal documents in this district is governed by Local Rule 141. In brief, Local Rule 141 provides that documents may only be sealed by a |! written order of the court after a specific request to seal has been made. L.R. 141(a). However, a |! mere request to seal is not enough under the local rules. In particular, Local Rule 141(b) requires that “[t]he “Request to Seal Documents’ shall set forth the statutory or other authority for sealing, |! the requested duration, the identity, by name or category, of persons to be permitted access to the document, and all relevant information.” L.R. 141(b).

A request to seal material must normally meet the high threshold of showing that || “compelling reasons” support secrecy; however, where the material is, at most, “tangentially || related” to the merits of a case, the request to seal may be granted on a showing of “good cause.”

6 4. Nothing in this order shall limit the testimony of parties or non-parties, or the use of || certain documents, at any court hearing or trial — such determinations will only be made by the || court at the hearing or trial, or upon an appropriate motion.

9 5. With respect to motions regarding any disputes concerning this protective order which || the parties cannot informally resolve, the parties shall follow the procedures outlined in Local |} Rule 251. Absent a showing of good cause, the court will not hear discovery disputes on an ex || parte basis or on shortened time.

13 6. The parties may not modify the terms of this Protective Order without the court’s || approval. If the parties agree to a potential modification, they shall submit a stipulation and || proposed order for the court’s consideration.

16 7. Pursuant to Local Rule 141.1(f), the court will not retain jurisdiction over enforcement || of the terms of this Protective Order after the action is terminated.
