(hereinafter “Nice Air”) agrees to disclose to the plaintiffs in the captioned litigation, and to their

counsel of record, certain financial information which Nice Air contends is confidential and

proprietary (hereinafter “Protected Material”); and

WHEREAS Nice Air makes these disclosures without prejudice to its position that the

Protected Material is confidential and proprietary and without prejudice to its position as to the

inadmissibility of the Protected Material in future proceedings in the litigation; and

WHEREAS Nice Air will disclose certain Protected Material, but only in reliance upon this

express agreement of the plaintiffs and their counsel of record that the disclosed Protected Material

will be used solely and exclusively in connection with these related cases and solely for the purpose

of attempting to settle this litigation; and

WHEREAS plaintiffs’ agreement to thislimitation on the use of Protected Material is without

prejudice to their rights to seek a modification of this agreement, either by stipulation or by Court

WHEREAS when the litigation has been terminated, plaintiffs and their counsel will, within

60 days after the final termination of this action, return all Protected Material to counsel of record

for Nice Air. With the permission in writing from Nice Air or its counsel of record, plaintiffs and

their attorneys may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, plaintiffs and the counsel must submit a written

certification to Nice Air, by the 60 day deadline, that identifies (by category, where appropriate) all

the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that no copies, abstracts,

compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material

have been retained; and

WHEREAS unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by Nice Air or its

counsel of record, plaintiffs and their counsel of record may disclose any information or item

designated by Nice Air as CONFIDENTIAL only to:

(a) plaintiffs’ Counsel of record in this action, as well as employees of said Counsel to

whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation; and

(b) plaintiffs’ experts to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of

attempting to compromise, settle, or resolve the litigation, in whole or in part; and

WHEREAS if timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or

items as “Confidential” does not, standing alone, waive Nice Air’s right to secure protection under

this Stipulation and Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as

“Confidential” after the material was initially produced, plaintiffs and their counsel of record, on

timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulation and Order; and

WHEREAS nothing in this Stipulation abridges the right of any person to seek its

modification by the Court in the future.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
