NASSAU LIFE AND ANNUITY

13 COMPANY, et. al. 14 Defendant. 15 16 1. A.PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 9 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be 70 warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated 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 from public disclosure and use extends only to the *4 || limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the 25 . os applicable legal principles. 26 27 || . . 1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective 28 |! order provided under Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue’s Procedures.

I B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

2 Plaintiffs seek recovery from Defendant for benefits under two accident 3 || disability insurance policies. Plaintiffs allege that they are totally disabled under the 4 || policies, which requires an inquiry into the Plaintiffs’ current and past medical 5 || histories as well as their finances. Accordingly, this action will require the production 6 || of Plaintiffs’ confidential medical records. It will also require the production of 7 || Plaintiffs’ non-public financial records, such as tax returns and other materials || regarding Plaintiffs’ income. 9 Additionally, Plaintiffs may seek discovery from Defendant regarding 10 || Defendant’s commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for 11 || which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other 12 || than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary 13 || materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential business or 14 || financial information, information regarding confidential business practices, or other 15 || confidential research, development, or commercial information (including 16 || information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise 17 || generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise 18 || protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, 19 || or common law. 20 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 21 || resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 22 || protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the 23 || parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for 24 || and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and 25 || serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this 26 || matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as 27 || confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good 28 || faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and

1 || there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 2 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL 3 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 4 || Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 5 || under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and 6 || the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to 7 || file material under seal. 8 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 9 || proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 10 || good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 11 || County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 12 || Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 13 |! Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require 14 |) good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons 15 || with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to 16 || Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation 17 || of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the 18 |! submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material 19 || sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise 20 || protectable—constitute good cause. 21 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 22 || compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 23 || relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 24 || See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each 25 |! item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under 26 || seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection 27 || must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal 28 || justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting

1 || the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. 2 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 3 || its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If 4 || documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only 5 || the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall 6 || be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety 7 || should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 8 9 || 2.

SCOPE 27 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 28 || Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

1 || extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 2 || compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 3 || presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 4 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 5 || trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 6 7 || 4. DURATION 8 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 9 || imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 10 || otherwise in writing or a Court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 11 || deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with 12 || or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 13 || exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 14 || including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 15 || pursuant to applicable law. 16 || 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 17 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 18 |) Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 19 |! this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 20 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 21 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 22 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, 23 || or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 24 || within the ambit of this Order. 25 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 26 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 27 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 28 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

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

1 |/identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material being designated as 2 ||\“CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items on the record, before the close of the 3 ||deposition. 4 Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound 5 ||by the court reporter, who must affix to the top or bottom of each such page the 6 ||“CONFIDENTIAL” legend as instructed by the Designating Party. Alternatively, the 7 ||Designating Party may designate testimony as containing “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items by written notice to all parties to this action within 30 days of 9 ||the Designating Party’s receipt of the deposition transcript. All deposition transcripts, 10 ||in their entirety, shall be deemed to have been designated as containing 11 ||“CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items until thirty (30) days after the court 12 ||reporter serves a copy of the deposition transcript on all relevant parties and non- 13. || parties. 14 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 15 ||any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 16 ||exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 17. ||\“CONFIDENTIAL” legend. If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 1g ||protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 19 || portion(s). 20 5.3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 21 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 22 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 23 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 24 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 25 || Order. 26 27 || 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 28 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

1 || designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 2 || Scheduling Order. 3 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 4 || resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 5 6.3. The burden of persuasion in any challenge related to a Party’s 6 || designation of Protected Material shall be on the Designating Party. The burden of 7 || persuasion in any challenge related to a Non-Party’s designation of Protected g || Material, including the designation of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items, 9 || shall be on the Challenging Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an 10 || improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on 11 || other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 12 || Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 13 || continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 14 || entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 15 || challenge. 16 17 || 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 18 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 19 || disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 20 || Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 21 |! Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 22 || conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 23 || Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 24 || DISPOSITION). 25 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 26 |! location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 27 || authorized under this Order. 28 7.2 Disclosure “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

1 || otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 2 || Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 3 || “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 4 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 5 || as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary 6 || to disclose the information for this Action; 7 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the || Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action, which 9 || necessarily includes witnesses being presented for deposition or at trial as well as 10 || individuals assisting with preparing discovery responses; 11 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 12 || disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 13 || “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 14 (d) the court and its personnel; 15 (e) court reporters and their staff; 16 (f) Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for 17 || this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 18 || Bound” (Exhibit A); 19 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 20 || custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 21 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 22 || Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 23 || requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) the 24 || witness will not be permitted to keep any confidential information after the 25 || deposition, unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. 26 || Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal 27 || Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be 28 || disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 10

1 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 2 || mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 3 Nothing in this Order prevents or otherwise prohibits a Party or Non-Party 4 || from using its own documents in any manner or respect. 5 6 7 || 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED g || INOTHER LITIGATION 9 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 10 || that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 11 || “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 13 |! include a copy of the subpoena or court order and shall be sent no later than five (5) court days after receipt of the subpoena or order to issue; 1p (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 16 || to issue in the other liti gation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 18 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 19 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 20 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served 22 || with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 23 |! action as “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items before a determination by the 24 || court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission or unless otherwise required by law or court order. 26 The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in 27 that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be 28 11

1 || construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey 2 || alawful directive from another court. 3 4 ||9. A _NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT 5 || TO._ BEPRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 6 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 7 || Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or 8 || Items. Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation 9 || is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these 10 || provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional 11 || protections. 12 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 13 || produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 14 || subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 15 || confidential information, then the Party shall: 16 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 18 with a Non-Party; (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 20 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information requested; and (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 23 Non-Party, if requested. (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within = 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 70 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 28 12

1 || not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 2 || confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination is made by the 3 || court or unless otherwise required by law or court order. Absent a court order to the 4 || contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in 5 || this court of its Protected Material. 6 7 || 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 8 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 9 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 10 || Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 11 || writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 12 || to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 13 || persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 14 || and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 16 '7 | 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE || PROTECTED MATERIAL When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil °° Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

4s privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the . parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 13

1 || to the court. 2 3 || 12, MISCELLANEOUS 4 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. 6 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 7 || Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 8 || disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground. Similarly, no Party 9 || waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material 10 || covered by this Protective Order. 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 12 || Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 13 || only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 14 || specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 15 || under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 16 || in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 17 18 || 13. FINAL DISPOSITION "9 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, and unless 20 otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within 60 days of a 21 written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all = Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected °° Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 20 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 28 14

1 || (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 2 || destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 3 || abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 4 || of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 5 || retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 6 || transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 7 || reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such g || materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 9 || constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 10 || Section 4 (DURATION). 11 || 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 12 || measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 13 || sanctions. 14 15 || ITIS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 16 17 || paTEp; /“"°'°?
