1 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 3 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 4 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 5 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 6 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 7 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 8 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 9 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 10 under the applicable legal principles. 11 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 12 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and 13 other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or 14 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and 15 from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 16 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other 17 things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding 18 confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or 19 commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third 20 parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 21 privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, 22 court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 23 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 24 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 25 keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses 26 of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 27 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order 28 for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that {06422129.1} 2

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 3 of 16 Page ID #:161

1 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 2 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 3 confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part 4 of the public record of this case. 5 C. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER 6 SEAL 7 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 8 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 9 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 10 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 11 to file material under seal. 12 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 13 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 14 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 15 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 16 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 17 Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders 18 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling 19 reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with 20 respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere 21 designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not— 22 without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the 23 material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or 24 otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. 25 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, 26 then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and 27 the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be 28 protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. {06422129.1} 3

1 2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed 2 or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party 3 seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts 4 and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence 5 supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by 6 declaration. 7 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 8 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. 9 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 10 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, 11 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 12 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 13 2. DEFINITIONS 14 2.1 Action: Levy v. Safeco Insurance Company of America, Case No. 15 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E. 16 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 17 designation of information or items under this Order. 18 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 19 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 20 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 21 the Good Cause Statement. 22 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 23 their support staff). 24 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 25 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 26 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 27 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 28 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, {06422129.1} 4

1 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced 2 or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 3 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 4 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 5 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 6 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 7 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 8 counsel. 9 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association or 10 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 11 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a 12 party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and 13 have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm 14 that has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 15 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 16 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 17 support staffs). 18 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 19 Discovery Material in this Action. 20 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 21 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 22 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 23 and their employees and subcontractors. 24 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 25 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 26 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 27 Material from a Producing Party. 28 3. SCOPE {06422129.1} 5

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 6 of 16 Page ID #:164

1 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 2 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 3 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 4 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 5 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 6 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 7 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 8 4. DURATION 9 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 10 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or 11 introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available 12 to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons 13 supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial 14 judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing 15 “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from 16 “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court 17 record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the 18 commencement of the trial. 19 5. DESIGNATED PROTECTED MATERIAL 20 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 21 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 22 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 23 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 24 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 25 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 26 items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 27 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 28 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations {06422129.1} 6

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 7 of 16 Page ID #:165

1 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 2 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to 3 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 4 Designating Party to sanctions. 5 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 6 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 7 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 8 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 9 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 10 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 11 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 12 produced. 13 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 14 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 15 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 16 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 17 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 18 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 19 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 20 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 21 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 22 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 23 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 24 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 25 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 26 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine 27 which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 28 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the {06422129.1} 7

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 8 of 16 Page ID #:166

1 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 2 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 3 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 4 in the margins). 5 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 6 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 7 deposition all protected testimony. 8 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 9 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 10 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 11 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 12 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 13 protected portion(s). 14 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 15 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 16 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 17 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make 18 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 19 provisions of this Order. 20 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 21 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 22 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 23 Scheduling Order. 24 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 25 resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq. 26 6.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a 27 joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2. 28 6.4 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on {06422129.1} 8

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 9 of 16 Page ID #:167

1 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 2 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 3 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 4 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 5 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 6 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 7 challenge. 8 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 9 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 10 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 11 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 12 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 13 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 14 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 15 DISPOSITION). 16 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 17 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 18 authorized under this Order. 19 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 20 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 21 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 22 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 23 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 24 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 25 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 26 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 27 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 28 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom {06422129.1} 9

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 10 of 16 Page ID #:168

1 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 2 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 3 (d) the court and its personnel; 4 (e) court reporters and their staff; 5 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 6 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 7 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 8 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 9 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 10 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 11 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 12 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they 13 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 14 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 15 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 16 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 17 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone 18 except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 19 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 20 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 21 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 22 IN OTHER LITIGATION 23 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 24 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 25 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 26 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 27 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 28 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order {06422129.1} 10

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 11 of 16 Page ID #:169

1 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 2 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include 3 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 4 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 5 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 6 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 7 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 8 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 9 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 10 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 11 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 12 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 13 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 14 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 15 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 16 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 17 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 18 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 19 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 20 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 21 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 22 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 23 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 24 confidential information, then the Party shall: 25 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non- 26 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 27 agreement with a Non-Party; 28 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated {06422129.1} 11

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 12 of 16 Page ID #:170

1 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 2 specific description of the information requested; and 3 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 4 Non-Party, if requested. 5 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 6 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 7 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 8 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 9 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 10 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 11 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 12 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 13 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 14 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 15 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 16 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 17 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best 18 efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the 19 person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of 20 this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment 21 and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 22 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 23 PROTECTED MATERIAL 24 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 25 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 26 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 27 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify 28 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for {06422129.1} 12

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case 2:21-cv-08520-RGK-E Document 23 Filed 05/24/22 Page 13 of 16 Page ID #:171

1 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 2 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure 3 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 4 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 5 protective order submitted to the court. 6 12. MISCELLANEOUS 7 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 8 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 9 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 10 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 11 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in 12 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on 13 any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective 14 Order. 15 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 16 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material 17 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 18 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 19 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 20 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 21 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 22 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 23 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 24 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 25 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 26 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 27 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 28 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if {06422129.1} 13

Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel 6 are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, 7 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition 8 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert 9 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival 10 copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective 11 Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 12 14. VIOLATION 13 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures 14 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 15 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 16 We hereby attest that concurrence in the filing of this stipulation was 17 obtained by each of the below identified signatories. 18 Dated: May 24, 2022 MAYNARD COOPER & GALE LLP 19 20 /s/ Norman Lau Nicholas J.
