Plaintiff Halo Electronics, Inc. and Defendants Bel Fuse Inc., Elec & Eltek (USA)

Corporation, Wurth Elektronik Midcom, Inc., and XFMRS, Inc. stipulate to the entry of this

Protective Order, which shall govern the handling of any information produced or disclosed by

any party, including third parties, in the above-captioned litigation. The following procedures

shall be adopted for the protection of all confidential information in this action, whether revealed

in documents (both in paper and electronic form), depositions, written discovery responses,

hearing and/or trial testimony, court filings, or through any similar exchange of information.

Definitions

1. PROTECTED INFORMATION means any information, document, or thing

designated by a party in good faith as confidential because it contains or is a trade secret or other

confidential research, development, or commercial information as those terms are used in Rule

26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. PROTECTED INFORMATION does not

include information that (1) has been publicly disclosed, (2) becomes available to the public

through no act of a receiving party, (3) was already known to the receiving party from legitimate

sources (i.e., not obtained by fraud, misappropriation, or in violation of the law), (4) was

independently developed by the receiving party, or (5) was received from a third party having the

right to make such disclosure and was not required to be held in confidence.

2. DERIVED MATERIAL means any information derived or created from

PROTECTED INFORMATION.

Designation & Marking of Information

3. Any PROTECTED INFORMATION that either a party to this action or a third

party wishes to be made subject to this Protective Order, with the exception of deposition

transcripts, shall be marked with the designation “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’

EYES ONLY” or “CONFIDENTIAL” at the time it is produced to any other party. To facilitate

discovery, parties may designate information in any equivalent and appropriate manner to indicate

its confidential nature. The “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

designation should be used only for commercially sensitive information, such as financial data,

customer information, current and future business plans, current and future sales and marketing

information, technical information that is either a trade secret or currently under development, and

the like.

4. To designate information in a deposition transcript, a party may request that the

court reporter mark those pages of the transcript containing PROTECTED INFORMATION.

Such requests shall be made on the record whenever possible, but any party may designate

portions of the transcript as either “ HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

or “CONFIDENTIAL,” provided that these designations are made in good faith and such

designations are disclosed to the other parties in the action within ten calendar days after receipt of

the official transcript. To give each other party an opportunity to review the transcript for

PROTECTED INFORMATION, the parties shall not disseminate a deposition transcript or the

contents thereof to anyone not permitted to access PROTECTED INFORMATION for a period of

fourteen calendar days after the receipt of the official transcript, except that portions of the

transcript may be filed with the Court under seal in connection with this action at any time.

5. The parties contemplate making available to another party Electronically Stored

Information (ESI), which may contain PROTECTED INFORMATION. For ESI, any confidential

designation shall be made on the materials within the electronic media (e.g., on the

actual electronic file itself) where possible. Where this is not possible, the confidential

designation shall be affixed to the outside of the electronic media, such that all information

contained on the electronic media shall be treated as having that designation.

6. In the event a party elects to produce original files and records, including ESI, for

inspection by another party, the producing party need not designate these materials in advance of

the inspection. For the purposes of the inspection, all documents, things, and ESI shall be

considered “ HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and be treated as such.

Thereafter, if any party makes copies of documents, things, and ESI, the producing party shall

designate and mark the information consistent with the requirements of this Order before

producing copies to any other party.

7. DERIVED MATERIAL shall bear on its face the confidentiality designation of the

material from which it was derived.

Access to Designated Information

8. PROTECTED INFORMATION shall be maintained in confidence by the party

receiving it and may be used solely for the purpose of conducting this litigation, and not for any

other purpose whatsoever. For example, and without limitation, PROTECTED INFORMATION

shall not be used by any party for any purpose in connection with any reexamination of any of the

patents-in-suit in this case or any other litigation involving the same parties without the written

consent of the producing party.

9. Access to PROTECTED INFORMATION designated “ HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall be restricted to (1) the Court and any

person the Court employs whose duties require access to the information, including jurors, (2) any

other court having jurisdiction over this action and any person the court employs whose duties

require access to the information, (3) outside counsel of record of the parties, including their

necessary support personnel (including third-party litigation support vendors, such as copying

services), (4) officers before whom a deposition or other testimony is taken (including without

limitation, stenographic reporters and videographers) and necessary clerical and support personnel

who are assisting such officers, and (5) other individuals and business entities as specified in

paragraphs 11-14.

10. Access to PROTECTED INFORMATION designated “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be

restricted to (1) the Court and any person the Court employs whose duties require access to the

information, including jurors, (2) any other court having jurisdiction over this action and any

person the court employs whose duties require access to the information, (3) outside counsel of

record of the parties, including their necessary support personnel (including third-party litigation

support vendors, such as copying services), (4) officers before whom a deposition or other

testimony is taken (including without limitation, stenographic reporters and videographers) and

necessary clerical and support personnel who are assisting such officers, (5) other individuals and

business entities as specified in paragraphs 11-14, and (6) two employees, agents or fiduciaries of

each party as specified in paragraph 15.

11. PROTECTED INFORMATION of the designating party may be disclosed by the

designating party at any time. PROTECTED INFORMATION of the designating party may also

be used or disclosed by counsel for any party in the examination, at a deposition, hearing, or trial,

of any current or former employee of the designating party who is or was involved with the

matters to which the information is directed, and a person or entity who authored or was the source

of the information or lawfully received the information before its production by the designating

party.

12. Counsel for the parties may disclose PROTECTED INFORMATION to only those

third parties contemplated by Paragraphs 13-14 below. Such third parties contemplated by

Paragraph 13 below should be furnished with a copy of this Protective Order and shall execute a

written statement in the form appended hereto as Exhibit A acknowledging that he or she is

familiar with the terms of this Order and will abide by them. For a business, the statement shall be

signed by a person authorized to bind the business organization, rather than each individual

employee of the business who may have access to the PROTECTED INFORMATION. The

individual signing for a business shall advise the business’s personnel of the obligations imposed

by this Order. All executed statements shall be kept by counsel who retained the individual or

business.

13. If a third party technical, damages, or other consultant has been retained by or on

behalf of a party, the party shall, in addition to complying with paragraph 12, identify that third

party to the designating party before any PROTECTED INFORMATION of that party is disclosed

to the third party. The identification required by this paragraph only applies where the designating

party is a party to this action (i.e., not a third party) and shall include the name, business address,

and curriculum vitae/resume of the third party. Upon receiving written identification, the

designating party has 10 calendar days to object to the disclosure of its PROTECTED

INFORMATION to the third party. Such objection must be made in writing. Should the

designating party make an objection to the third party proposed hereunder, the parties shall meet

and confer within 5 calendar days of any such objection. If the meet and confer is unsuccessful,

the designating party objecting to the disclosure will have 21 days from the date of its written

objection to file a motion seeking relief from the Court. No disclosure of the designating party’s

PROTECTED INFORMATION shall be made until the objection is resolved. If relief is not

sought from the Court within 21 days following the written objection, the objection shall be

deemed withdrawn. In any such proceeding, the designating party shall bear the burden of

proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed)

outweighs the receiving party’s need to disclose the protected material to its third party consultant.

The disclosure of a third party shall not constitute a disclosure of that person or business as a

witness to be called at trial, commit a party to using that person or business as an expert or witness

at trial, nor shall it give the designating party the right to depose that person or business or to

comment on their absence from trial.

14. Before any disclosure of PROTECTED INFORMATION of another party is made

to mock jurors or focus group members, any such person shall execute a confidentiality agreement

in the form attached as Exhibit B and such statement shall be kept by counsel for reference and

shall be provided to the producing party upon request and only after the full and final conclusion

of the litigation. No documents, physical things, or ESI containing or embodying PROTECTED

INFORMATION of another party shall be left in the possession of any such person. Further, no

mock juror or focus group member may be a current or former employee, officer, attorney, agent,

or director of any party to this action.

15. Counsel for each party may disclose information designated “CONFIDENTIAL” to

the two employees, agents or fiduciaries of the party listed in Exhibit D for the purpose of

assisting counsel in the preparation, prosecution, or trial of this action. These employees, agents

or fiduciaries should be furnished with a copy of this Protective Order and shall execute a written

statement in the form appended hereto as Exhibit C acknowledging that he or she is familiar with

the terms of this Order and will abide by them before receiving access to “ CONFIDENTIAL”

information. A copy of all statements executed under this provision shall be provided to the other

parties in this action.

16. All documents, things, deposition transcripts, and ESI (or portions thereof)

containing PROTECTED INFORMATION that are included with or disclosed in any paper filed

with the Court shall be filed in accordance with the Court’s rules for filing documents under seal.

To the extent consistent with the Court’s rules governing the filing of documents under seal, if

any, this information shall be filed in a sealed envelope prominently marked with the caption of

this action, the identity of the party filing the envelope, and the following notice:

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER

THIS ENVELOPE IS NOT TO BE OPENED NOR ITS

CONTENTS DISPLAYED, COPIED, OR REVEALED,

EXCEPT BY COURT ORDER OR AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES

17. Promptly upon completion of the litigation, each party shall return or destroy all

PROTECTED INFORMATION of another party within 60 days of the final disposition of this

action, except that counsel for each party may retain one copy of each document or thing

(including electronic documents and files) designated by the other party as containing

PROTECTED INFORMATION. This provision does not apply to court papers, deposition and

trial transcripts, or documents containing attorney work-product provided that these materials are

maintained in accordance with this Protective Order.

Challenging the Designation of Information

18. In the event of a dispute with respect to the propriety or correctness of the

designation of information, including testimony and documents, under this Protective Order, the

parties shall make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved

within 10 days after a party contests the designation, any party wishing to challenge the

designation may thereafter move for an order vacating the designation. The designating party

shall bear the burden of establishing that the information should be so designated. The

information in question shall be treated as it has been designated until the issue has been resolved

by the Court or by agreement of the parties.

19. No party shall be obligated to challenge the propriety or correctness of the

designation of information, and a failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge to the

designation.

Inadvertent Disclosure of Protected Information

20. If a party inadvertently discloses any document, thing, or electronic media

containing PROTECTED INFORMATION without designating it as such, upon discovery of the

inadvertent disclosure the disclosing party shall promptly inform the receiving parties in writing of

the inadvertent disclosure and the receiving party shall thereafter treat the information according

to the confidentiality designation subsequently provided by the producing party. To the extent

such information may have been disclosed to persons other than authorized persons described in

this Order, the receiving party shall make every reasonable effort to retrieve the information

promptly from such persons and to avoid any further disclosure to non-authorized persons.

21. If a party inadvertently discloses information that is privileged or otherwise

immune from discovery, the producing party shall advise each receiving party in writing of the

inadvertent disclosure and request that the information be returned, or in the case of ESI, all copies

deleted within ten calendar days of becoming aware of the inadvertent disclosure. The parties

agree that no party to this action shall thereafter assert that such disclosure waived privilege or

immunity. The parties also agree that the receiving parties shall return, or in the case of ESI,

delete such inadvertently-produced information and all copies within ten calendar days of

discovery by the receiving party of the inadvertent disclosure or the receipt of written notice by the

producing party, whichever is earliest. By returning such information to the producing party, the

receiving party does not waive its right to challenge the disclosing party’s assertion of privilege or

immunity.

Third Parties

22. This Protective Order applies to all information that a non-party discloses in

connection with this litigation. All information that any non-party designates as PROTECTED

INFORMATION shall be treated as such in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order,

Other

23. If any person or entity is subpoenaed, ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction,

or otherwise legally required to produce information that another entity designated PROTECTED

INFORMATION in this action, the person or entity receiving the request or order shall (a) inform

each person or entity that sent such request or order that the information is subject to this

Protective Order, (b) immediately notify each designating party of the existence and general

substance of each such order or request, (c) promptly furnish each designating party with a copy of

the document(s) it received that memorialized the request or order, and (d) not interfere with any

designating party’s response or objection to any such order or request.

24. Nothing in this Protective Order requires any person or entity to contest, appeal, or

violate a subpoena, legal process, or court order. If the designating party wishes to contest any

such request or order, it shall have the burden of doing so. The entity receiving the subpoena,

process, or order shall be entitled to comply with it unless (a) it is quashed or modified in a way

that does not require such compliance, or (b)(i) it need not be complied with yet and (ii) the entity

receives written notice within ten calendar days after it notifies each designating party of the

existence of the request or order that an entity has or will contest the request or order.

25. The Court retains the authority to modify this Order after giving the parties notice

and an opportunity to be heard.

26. The recipient of any PROTECTED INFORMATION material hereby agrees to

subject himself/herself to the jurisdiction of the Court for the purpose of any proceedings relating

to the performance under, compliance with, or violation of this Protective Order.

27. The terms of this Protective Order shall survive the termination of this litigation,

and the Court shall retain jurisdiction of this action after its final disposition for the purpose of

enforcing this Protective Order unless the Court orders otherwise.
