Now on this 9th day of August, 2010, comes to be considered the Stipulation and

Agreement for Protective Order, and the Court, being well and sufficiently advised in the

premises, orders, to-wit:

(1) Confidential Documents, as later defined herein, and obtained by Plaintiff from

Hytrol Conveyor Company, Inc. (“Hytrol”), during discovery in this action, shall be used only for

the purpose of this litigation and for no other purpose whatsoever, and shall not be given, shown,

made available or distributed in any way to anyone except “Qualified Persons,” as herein defined. 

This shall not apply to documents, otherwise designated as “Confidential,” but obtained from

sources other than Hytrol.

(2) Confidential documents shall be deemed to mean any and all documents produced

by Hytrol to Plaintiff that contain the private, confidential, and protected employee information

of Hytrol employees, not including documents that pertain directly to Plaintiff.

(3) Except with the prior written consent of Hytrol, or pursuant to further order of this

Court, on motion with notice to Hytrol, no Confidential Documents may be disclosed to any

person other than "Qualified Persons" who shall be defined to include:

(a) All counsel of record in this action, and secretaries, paraprofessional

assistants and other employees of such counsel who are actively engaged

in assisting counsel in connection with this action;

(b) Outside experts and/or consultants retained by any counsel for the purpose

of assisting in the preparation of this case.

(c) Witnesses, either by deposition or trial testimony, who may be shown such

materials as are subject hereto, and questioned about the same.

(4) This Order, insofar as it restricts the distribution, in any way, and use of

Confidential Documents, shall continue to be binding through and after the conclusion of this

litigation. At the conclusion of this action, including all appeals:

Confidential Documents obtained during the course of this proceeding and in

violation of this Protective Order Pursuant to Stipulation and Agreement. Severe

sanctions will attach to any person who discloses such in violation of this

provision.
