JOSEPH CLARK PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 4:09CV00851 BSM

O’REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC. DEFENDANT

STIPULATION AND AGREEMENT FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER

Now on this 10th day of June, 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 O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. (“O’Reilly”), 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 O’Reilly.

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

produced by O’Reilly to Plaintiff that contain the private, confidential, and protected

employee information of O’Reilly employees, not including documents that pertain

directly to Plaintiff.

(3) Except with the prior written consent of O’Reilly, or pursuant to further

order of this Court, on motion with notice to O’Reilly, 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:

(a) Counsel for Plaintiff shall take all reasonable steps necessary to reclaim all

confidential documents produced by O’Reilly and counsel shall return all

copies of such Confidential Documents to counsel for O’Reilly at the

expense of O’Reilly. Counsel for each party shall retain one archived set of

all Confidential Documents produced by its client for a period of three (3)

years following the completion of this litigation, including post-judgment

motions and appeals. Counsel may destroy the archived set at the end of

this three-year period without notice to the other parties or their attorneys.

(b) Counsel and all other Qualified Persons are enjoined from distribution of

any 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.

(5) Nothing in this Order shall prevent any party from seeking modification of

this Order at any time as to specific matters designated "Confidential Documents" to

remove such from the application of this Order pursuant to further Order of this Court.
