Stipulation and [Proposed] Protective Order re: Settlement Negotiations 1

WHEREAS the Parties to this Stipulation and Order governing the confidentiality of

settlement negotiations and documents and information exchanged therein (“Stipulation and

Order”) have been engaged in intensive and good faith settlement talks and desire to continue to

work towards a negotiated resolution of this matter, and

WHEREAS the Parties agree that it is necessary that the confidentiality of certain

documents, communications, and other information exchanged in the course of such negotiations

be maintained in order to allow the Parties to successfully pursue settlement,

It is THEREFORE stipulated by the Parties that the Court should enter the following

ORDER:

1. All documents, communications, and other information exchanged by the Parties

to the settlement negotiations that commenced on November 14, 2005, are hereby to be

maintained as confidential and shall not be disclosed to any non-party to this case, until further

Order of this Court, except by mutual agreement of the Parties hereto. Each of the undersigned

Parties may disclose any such documents, communications, and other information to their

officers, employees, retained consultants, and expert witnesses, as necessary and appropriate to

further such settlement negotiations.

2. No party to this Stipulation and Order may use any documents, communications,

or other information, as described above, for any purpose other than the furtherance of the

settlement negotiations described herein.

3. Nothing in this Stipulation and Order prevents the disclosure or use of documents,

communications, or other information obtained outside of the settlement negotiations described

herein, solely because such material may also have been exchanged during the settlement

negotiations.
