PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

DURATION 4 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 5 Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 6 otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims 7 and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the 8 completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, 9 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 10 applicable law. 11 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 13 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care 14 to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. If 15 it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for 16 protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection initially 17 asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the 18 mistaken designation. 19 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order 20 (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 21 Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so 22 designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 23 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: (a) 24 for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 25 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 26 Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 27 EYES ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. A Party or Non-Party that makes 28 original documents or materials available for inspection need not designate them for protection GLG-30615 4 1 until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. 2 During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection 3 shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the 4 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party 5 must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. 6 Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate 7 legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) 8 to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a 9 page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 10 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 11 of protection being asserted. 12 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 13 that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or 14 other proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. When 15 it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it 16 appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party 17 may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right 18 to have up to 21 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is 19 sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony 20 that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the 21 provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at 22 the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire 23 transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 24 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 25 Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, hearing or 26 other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that only 27 authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 28 (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition GLG-30615 5 1 shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 2 – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 3 Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page 4 that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all 5 pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material and 6 the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform 7 the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 8 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated 9 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise 10 agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 11 designated. 12 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any 13 other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 14 container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” 15 or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of 16 the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall 17 identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted. 18 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 19 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s 20 right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a 21 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated 22 in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 23 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 24 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 25 confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality 26 designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic 27 burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to 28 GLG-30615 6 1 challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the 2 original designation is disclosed. 3 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process 4 by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each 5 challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must 6 recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph 7 of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must 8 begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication 9 are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging 10 Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 11 must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider 12 the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen 13 designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it 14 has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is 15 unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 16 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court 17 intervention, and if the Designating Party does not withdraw the designation within 21 days of the 18 initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process 19 will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier, the Challenging Party may move the Court at 20 any time thereafter for an order requiring the withdrawal of the designation of the Discovery 21 Material as Confidential Material. Each such motion must be accompanied by a certification 22 affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements of LR IA 1-3(f). 23 In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at 24 any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition 25 transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be 26 accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet 27 and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. 28 GLG-30615 7 1 The burden of persuasion regarding a designation of confidentiality in any such challenge 2 proceeding before the Court shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges and those 3 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on 4 other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. All Parties shall continue to afford 5 the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 6 designation until the court rules on the challenge. 7 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 8 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 9 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, 10 defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 11 the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has 12 been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 13 DISPOSITION). 14 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in 15 a secure manner1 that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 16 To the extent Protected Material was exchanged between the parties prior to and apart from 17 this litigation for the purposes of conducting their respective businesses, the parties may continue 18 to use that otherwise Protected Material for that purpose. 19 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered 20 by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any 21 information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: (a) 22 the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as 23 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 24 information for this litigation; 25 26 27 1 It may be appropriate under certain rare circumstances to require the Receiving Party to store any 28 electronic Protected Material in password-protected form. GLG-30615 8 1 (b) the officers, directors, and employees of the Receiving Party to whom 2 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment 3 and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 4 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure 5 is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 6 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 7 (d) the Court, officers of the Court, or Court personnel involved in this action 8 (including court reporters and persons operating video recording equipment at depositions); 9 (e) professional jury or trial consultants and Professional Vendors to whom 10 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 11 and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 12 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is 13 reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 14 (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of 15 transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be 16 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 17 under this Stipulated Protective Order. 18 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 19 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 20 7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 21 Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the 22 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “HIGHLY 23 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 24 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as 25 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 26 information for this litigation; 27 28 GLG-30615 9 1 (b) Experts of the Receiving Party (1) to whom disclosure is reasonably 2 necessary for this litigation and (2) who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 3 Bound” (Exhibit A); 4 (c) the Court, officers of the Court, or Court personnel involved in this action 5 (including court reporters and persons operating video recording equipment at depositions); 6 (d) professional jury or trial consultants and Professional Vendors to whom 7 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment 8 and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); and 9 (e) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 10 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 11 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 12 OTHER LITIGATION 13 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels 14 disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 15 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that Party must: 16 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include 17 a copy of the subpoena or court order; 18 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue 19 in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject 20 to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; 21 and 22 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by 23 the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 24 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena 25 or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” 26 or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a determination by the 27 court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating 28 Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection GLG-30615 10 1 in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as 2 authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from 3 another court. 4 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN 5 THIS LITIGATION 6 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 7 Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 8 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with 9 this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these 10 provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 11 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce 12 a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement 13 with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall: 14 1. promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 15 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non16 Party; 17 2. promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 18 Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 19 description of the information requested; and 20 3. make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 21 Party. 22 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court 23 within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may 24 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non25 Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its 26 possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a 27 28 GLG-30615 11 1 determination by the Court.2 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the 2 burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 3 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 4 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 5 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective 6 Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the 7 unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected 8 Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the 9 terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 10 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 11 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 12 PROTECTED MATERIAL 13 Nothing within this Order will prejudice the right of any party to object to the inadvertent 14 production of any discovery material on the grounds that the material is protected as privileged or 15 as attorney work product. When a Producing Party gives notice to a Receiving Party that certain 16 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the 17 obligations of the Receiving Party are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 18 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in 19 an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to 20 Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of 21 disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 22 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order 23 submitted to the court. 24 12. MISCELLANEOUS 25 26 2 The purpose of this provision is to alert the interested parties to the existence of confidentiality rights of a Non-Party and to afford the Non-Party an opportunity to protect its confidentiality 28 interests in this court. 27 GLG-30615 12 1 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to 2 seek its modification by the court in the future. 3 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 4 Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any 5 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no 6 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered 7 by this Protective Order. 8 12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party 9 or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in Gile Law Group 1180 N Town Center Dr Suite 100 Las Vegas, NV 89144 10 order th issued bli d See concurrently herewith this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any ust comply with LR IA 10-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal 12 pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. 13 Pursuant to LR IA 10-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the 14 Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to 15 protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal 16 pursuant to LR IA 10-5 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the Protected 17 Material in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 18 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 19 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each 20 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such Protected 21 Material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 22 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 23 Material. Upon written request by a Producing Party, a Party or its counsel shall certify compliance 24 with this provision in writing to counsel for the Producing Party. Notwithstanding this provision, 25 Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, 26 and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 27 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials 28 GLG-30615 13 1 contain Protected Material.
