12 OCG ENERGY, LLC, a California Case No. 8:22-cv-01568-FWS-DFM limited liability company; and OCG 13 CREDIT, LLC, a California limited Honorable Douglas F. McCormick liability company, 14 Plaintiffs, STIPULATED PROTECTIVE 15 v. ORDER

16 JARVAN SHEN, an individual; and DOES 1 - 100, inclusive, 17 Defendants. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 1 STIPULATION 2 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by all parties to this action, by and through 3 their respective attorneys of record, that discovery or disclosure in this case of 4 specified private, privileged, proprietary, trade secret and/or confidential 5 information shall be had on the following terms and conditions: 6 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 7 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 8 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 9 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than pursuing this litigation may be 10 warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 11 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 12 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 13 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 14 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 15 under the applicable legal principles. 16 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 17 This action is likely to involve the production of personal financial 18 information, business financial information, trade secrets, and other valuable 19 research, development, commercial, financial, technical and proprietary information 20 for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose 21 other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary 22 materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential personal 23 financial statements and tax returns, business financial statements and projections, 24 information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, 25 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy 26 rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or 27 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or 1 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to 2 expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over 3 confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties 4 are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable 5 necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to 6 address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a 7 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the 8 parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons 9 and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been 10 maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it 11 should not be part of the public record of this case. 12 3. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF UNDER SEAL FILING PROCEDURE 13 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 14.3, below, that this 14 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 15 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 16 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 17 to file material under seal. There is a strong presumption that the public has a right 18 of access to judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non- 19 dispositive motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See 20 Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), 21 Phillips v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-1211 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar- 22 Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even 23 stipulated protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of 24 good cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal 25 justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to 26 file under seal. The parties' mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material 27 as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by 1 declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as 2 confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. 3 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 4 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 5 relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 6 See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass'n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-679 (9th Cir. 2010). For 7 each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced 8 under seal, the party seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, 9 supported by specific facts and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. 10 Again, competent evidence supporting the application to file documents under seal 11 must be provided by declaration. Any document that is not confidential, privileged, 12 or otherwise protectable in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential 13 portions can be redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for 14 public viewing, omitting only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable 15 portions of the document, shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file 16 documents under seal in their entirety should include an explanation of why 17 redaction is not feasible. 18 4. DEFINITIONS 19 4.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit. 20 4.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 21 designation of information or items under this Order. 22 4.3 "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items: information 23 (regardless of how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that 24 qualify for protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified 25 above in the Good Cause Statement. 26 4.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well 27 as their support staff). 1 4.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates 2 information or items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 3 "CONFIDENTIAL." 4 4.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, 5 regardless of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained 6 (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are 7 produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery. 8 4.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a 9 matter pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to 10 serve as an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 11 4.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this 12 Action. House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other 13 outside counsel. 14 4.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, 15 association or other legal entity not named as a Party to this Action. 16 4.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of 17 a party to this Action but are retained to represent a party to this Action and have 18 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 19 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 20 4.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, 21 directors, employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record 22 (and their support staffs). 23 4.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure 24 or Discovery Material in this Action. 25 4.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 26 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 27 1 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 2 and their employees and subcontractors. 3 4.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 4 designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." 5 4.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 6 Material from a Producing Party. 7 5. SCOPE 8 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 9 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 10 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 11 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 12 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 13 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 14 trial judge and other applicable authorities. This Order does not govern the use of 15 Protected Material at trial. 16 6. DURATION 17 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 18 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced 19 as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all 20 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by 21 specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance 22 of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-1181 (distinguishing "good cause" 23 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from "compelling reasons" 24 standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the 25 terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 26 27 1 7. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 2 7.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for 3 Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for 4 protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific 5 material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must 6 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or 7 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, 8 documents, items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not 9 swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 10 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 11 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 12 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 13 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 14 Party to sanctions. 15 If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it 16 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 17 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 18 7.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise 19 provided in this Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure of 20 Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so 21 designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 22 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 23 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 24 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 25 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 26 "CONFIDENTIAL" (hereinafter "CONFIDENTIAL legend") to each page that 27 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 1 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 2 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 3 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for 4 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has 5 indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. During the 6 inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for 7 inspection shall be deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting Party has 8 identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must 9 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this 10 Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must 11 affix the "CONFIDENTIAL legend" to each page that contains Protected Material. 12 If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 13 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 14 markings in the margins). 15 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party 16 identifies the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 17 deposition all protected testimony; but a Designating Party may designate portions 18 of depositions as containing Protected Material after transcription of the 19 proceedings; a party will have until twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the final 20 deposition transcript to inform the other party or parties to the action of the portions 21 of the transcript to be designated "CONFIDENTIAL." Further, the Producing party 22 or third party will have the right to exclude from attendance at the deposition, during 23 such time as the Protected Information is to be disclosed, any person other than the 24 deponent, counsel (including their staff and associates), the court reporter, and 25 person(s) agreed upon pursuant to this Protective Order. 26 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 27 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 1 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 2 "CONFIDENTIAL" legend. If only a portion or portions of the information 3 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 4 protected portion(s). 5 7.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an 6 inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing 7 alone, waive the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for 8 such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must 9 make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 10 provisions of this Order. 11 8. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 12 8.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 13 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court's 14 Scheduling Order. 15 8.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the 16 dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq. 17 8.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be 18 via a joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2. 19 8.4 Burden of Persuasion. The burden of persuasion in any such 20 challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and 21 those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses 22 and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. 23 Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality 24 designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of 25 protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation until the 26 Court rules on the challenge. 27 1 9. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 2 9.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material 3 that is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with 4 this Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 5 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 6 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 7 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 15 below (FINAL 8 DISPOSITION). 9 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 10 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 11 authorized under this Order. 12 9.2 Disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items. Unless 13 otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 14 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 15 "CONFIDENTIAL" only to: 16 (a) the Receiving Party's Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 17 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 18 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 19 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 20 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 21 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 22 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 23 "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); 24 (d) the Court and its personnel; 25 (e) court reporters and their staff; 26 27 1 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 2 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 3 signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); 4 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or 5 a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 6 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in 7 the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing 8 party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) 9 they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 10 "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 11 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 12 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 13 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 14 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 15 (i) any mediators or settlement officers and their supporting personnel, 16 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 17 10. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

18 19 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 20 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 21 "CONFIDENTIAL" that Party must: 22 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 23 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 24 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 25 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 26 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 27 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 1 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 2 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the 3 Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 4 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action 5 as "CONFIDENTIAL" before a determination by the court from which the 6 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party's 7 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 8 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 9 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 10 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 11 11. A NON-PARTY'S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

12 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 13 Non-Party in this Action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." Such information 14 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 15 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 16 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 17 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 18 produce a Non-Party's protected information in its possession, and the Party is 19 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's 20 confidential information, then the Party shall: 21 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 22 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 23 agreement with a Non-Party; 24 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 25 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 26 specific description of the information requested; and 27 1 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 2 Party, if requested. 3 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within 4 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 5 may produce the Non-Party's confidential information responsive to the discovery 6 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 7 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 8 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 9 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 10 expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 11 12. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 13 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 14 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 15 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 16 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 17 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 18 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgment an 19 Agreement to Be Bound" attached hereto as Exhibit A. 20 13. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR

OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

21 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 22 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 23 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 24 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever 25 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 26 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and 27 (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 1 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 2 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 3 protective order submitted to the court. 4 14. MISCELLANEOUS 5 14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right 6 of any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 7 14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of 8 this Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 9 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 10 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 11 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 12 14.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal 13 any Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material 14 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 15 specific Protected Material. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal 16 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the 17 public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 18 15. FINAL DISPOSITION 19 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 6, within 60 20 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 21 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 22 this subdivision, "all Protected Material" includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 23 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 24 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 25 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 26 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies 27 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 1 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 2 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 3 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 4 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 5 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 6 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 7 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 8 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 9 Section 6 (DURATION). 10 16. VIOLATION 11 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures 12 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 13 14 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 15 16 Pursuant to Local Rule 5-4.3.4(a)(2)(i), the undersigned counsel for Plaintiffs 17 certifies that the content of this document is acceptable to counsel for Defendant, 18 and that Defendant's counsel has provided his authorization to affix his electronic 19 signature to this document. 20 DATED: March 29, 2023 21
