CLASS ACTION

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1. 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 would be

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the

following Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket

protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords

Stipulated Protective Order

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal

principles to treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in

Section 10, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must

be followed and reflects the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission

from the court to file material under seal.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors,

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff).

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of

the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things,

testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or

responses to discovery in this matter.

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of how

generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards

developed under F.R.Civ.P.26(c).

2.4 “Confidential – Attorneys ‘Eyes Only’” Information or Items: extremely

sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or non-party

would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive

means.

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material

from a Producing Party.

2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or

Discovery Material in this action.

2.7 Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or

“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

2.8 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is

designated as “Confidential” or as “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

2.9 Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who

are retained to represent or advise a Party in this action.

2.10 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party.

2.11 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as

well as their support staffs).

2.12 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an

expert witness or as a consultant in this action and who is not a past or a current employee of

a Party or of a competitor of a Party and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to

become an employee of a Party or a competitor of a Party. This definition includes a

professional jury or trial consultant retained in connection with this litigation.

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support

services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations;

organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and

subcontractors.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined

above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies,

excerpts, summaries, or compilation thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or presentations

by parties or counsel to or in court or in other setting that might reveal Protected Material.

4. DURATION

Even after the termination 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.

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

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

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stipulated Protective Order

must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the

appropriate standards. A Designating Party must take care to 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 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

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 possible sanctions.

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-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 Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it

is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designation. Except as otherwise provided in this

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or

ordered, material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated

before the material is disclosed or produced.

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top of 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 (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

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

Stipulated Protective Order

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

“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 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the top of 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 (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the

Party or nonparty offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the close

of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify

any portions of the testimony that qualify as “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to

protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for

protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on

the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to

identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify

the level of protection being asserted (”CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately

designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions of this

Stipulated Protective Order.

(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

Stipulated Protective Order

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only portions of the

information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall

identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as “Confidential” or as

“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate: If timely corrected, an

inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Confidential

– Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to

secure protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated

as “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially

produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, must make

reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of

this Order.

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness,

unnecessary economic burdens, or a later 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.

6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the

process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are

not sufficient) with counsel for the Designating Party. In 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.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party

may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local

Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the

basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration

that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in

the preceding paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the

confidentiality designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer

dialogue.

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford

the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing

Party’s designation.

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

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 11, below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location

and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under

this Order.

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:

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside 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 who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to

exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court

reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated

Protective Order.

information.

7.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

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 – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to:

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside 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 who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective

Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to

(e) the author of the document or the original source of the

information.

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

OTHER LITIGATION.

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that

would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the Receiving Party

must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible) immediately and in no

event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such notification

must include a copy of the subpoena or court order.

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered by the

subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party

must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other

action that caused the subpoena or order to issue.

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence

of this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try

to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued.

The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that

court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as

authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from

another court.

9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated

Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating

Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all copies of the

Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

10. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL.

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order secured after

appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this

action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material

must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5.

11. FINAL DISPOSITION.

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty days

after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected

Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes

all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing

any of the Protected Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the

Receiving Party may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it.

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 sixty day deadline that identifies (by category, where appropriate)

all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving

Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision,

Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts,

legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney work product, even if such materials contain

remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION), above.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

Protective 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 Stipulated Protective

Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any

of the material covered by this Protective Order.
