14 ORDER

TRAVELERS CASUALTY

15 || INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, a corporation, and DOES 1 16 || through 50, inclusive, Complaint filed August 13, 2020 17 Defendants. 18 19 1. A. PURPOSE AND LIMITATIONS 20 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 21 || proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 22 || disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 23 || be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 24 || enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 25 || Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 26 || discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 27 || only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 28 || under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in -l-

1 |) Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to 2 || file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 3 || procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party 4 || seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 5 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 6 Good cause exists for this Protective Order. This case arises out of claims regarding Breach of Written Contract and Breach of Implied Covenant of Good 8 || Faith. Given the nature of Plaintiff’s claims and Travelers’ defenses, discovery in 9 || this litigation may potentially call for the production of confidential, proprietary 10 || and/or private information, including but not limited to, confidential, non-public 11 || information disclosed during the course of discovery in this action. This action is = 12] likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists, and/or confidential

_ 13 || business or financial information. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, N 14 || to facilitate prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery 15 || materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 16 || confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 18 || at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 19 || information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information 20 || will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so 21 || designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 22 || non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 23 || record of this case. 24 2. DEFINITIONS 25 2.1 Action: [this pending federal lawsuit - CASE NO. 2:20-cv-09252 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 37 of information or items under this Order.

28 -2-

1 2.3. “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 3 || protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 4 || the Good Cause Statement. 5 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 6 || their support staff). 7 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 8 || items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 9 |) “CONFIDENTIAL.” 10 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 11 || of the medium or manner in which it was generated, stored, or maintained = 12] (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are

_ 13 || produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. N 14 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 5 g 15 || pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 16 || an expert witness or as a consultation in this Action. 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 18 || House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 19 || counsel. 20 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or 21 || other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 22 2.10 Qutside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 23 || to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 24 || appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which 25 || appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 26 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 27 || employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 28 || support staffs). _3-

1 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 2 || Discovery Material in this Action. 3 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 5 || demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 6 || and their employees and subcontractors. 7 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 8 || designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 9 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 10 || from a Producing Party. 11 3. SCOPE 5 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

_ 13 || Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or N 14 || extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or g 15 || compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or os 16 || presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 18 || trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of the Protected Material at trial. 19 4. DURATION 20 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as Confidential 21 || or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced as an exhibit at 22 || trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of the 23 || public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual 24 || findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See 25 || Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu,, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) 26 || (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery 27 || from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court 28 || record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the -4-

1 || commencement of the trial as it relates to those documents introduced and marked 2 || as exhibits at the time of trial. For all other documents subject to this protective 3 || order, the terms of the order will remain in effect. 4 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 6 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection 7 || under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material 8 || that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 10 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 11 || items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept = 12] unjustifiably within the ambit of this order.

_ 13 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 14 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for improper purpose 0 g 15 || (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 16 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 18 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 19 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 20 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 21 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 22 || this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 23 || stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 24 || under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 25 || produced. 26 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 27 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 28 || but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that _5-

1 |) the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereafter 2 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 3 || portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 4 || Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 5 || markings in the margins). 6 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 7 || need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 8 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 9 || before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 10 || deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 11 || documents it wants copied and produced the Producing Party must determine which = 12 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before

_ 13 || producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the N 14 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a g 15 || portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing os 16 || Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 18 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 19 || Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all 20 || protected testimony. 21 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 22 || any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 23 || exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 24 || “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 25 || protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 26 || portion(s). 27 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected on, an inadvertent 28 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive _6-

1 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 2 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 3 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 4 | Order. 5 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 7 || designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 8 || Scheduling Order. 9 6.2 Meet _and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 10 || resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 11 6.3. The burden of persuasion is any such challenge proceeding shall be on = 12] the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 3 13 || purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 14 || parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating ss 15 || Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall os 16 || continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 18 || challenge. 19 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 20 7.1. Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 21 || disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 22 || Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 23 || Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 24 || conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 25 || Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 26 || DISPOSITION). 27 28 _7-

1 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 2 || location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 3 || authorized under this Order. 4 7.2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 5 || otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 6 || Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 8 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 9 || employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it was reasonably necessary 10 || to disclose the information for this Action; 11 (b) the officers, directors, and employee (including House Counsel) of the = 12] Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 3 13 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom N 14 || disclosure is reasonably for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment 5 g 15 || and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (d) the court and its personnel; 317 (e) court reporter and their staff; 18 (f) professional jury and trial consultants, mock juror, and Professional 19 || Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 20 || signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 21 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 22 || custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 23 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 24 || Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 25 || requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 26 || will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 27 || “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 28 || agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed -8-

1 | deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 2 || be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 3 || as permitted under this Stipulated Protective order. In the event that the witness or 4 || deponent refuses or otherwise fails to sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to 5 || Be Bound” (Exhibit A), the witness or deponent shall be advised that any 6 || confidential information shown to them in deposition is subject to the Protective 7 || Order and that any disclosure of such confidential information may be a violation of 8 || the Protective Order.; and 9 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 10 || mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 11 || 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN = 12] OTHER LITIGATION

_ 13 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 14 || that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as g 15 || “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: os 16 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 18 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 19 || issue in other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or 20 || order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 21 || this Stipulated Protective Order; and 22 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 23 || by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 24 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 25 || the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 26 || action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 27 || subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 28 || permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden of the expense of seeking _9-

1 |) protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 2 || should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 3 || to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED 5 || IN THIS LITIGATION 6 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 8 || produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 9 || remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 10 || construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 11 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to = 12) produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

_ 13 || subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s N 14 | confidential information, then the Party shall: ss 15 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that os 16 || some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; 18 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 19 || Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 20 || description of the information requested; and 21 (3) make the information requested available for the inspection by the Non- 22 || Party, if requested. 23 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 24 || days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 25 || may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 26 || request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 27 || not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 28 || confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. -10-

1 |) Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 2 || expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 3 || 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 4 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 5 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 6 || Stipulated Protective order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 7 || writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 8 || to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 9 || persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 10 || and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgement and 11 || Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. = 12] 11. INADVERTENT PROTECTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

_ 13 || PROTECTED MATERIAL N 14 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain g 15 || inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, os 16 || the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 317 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever 18 || procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 19 || without prior privilege review. 20 || 12. MISCELLANEOUS 21 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 22 || person to seek it modification by the Court in the future. 23 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 24 || Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 25 || disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 26 || Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 27 || ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 28 -ll-

1 12.3. Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 2 || Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 3 || only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 4 || specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material is 5 || denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public 6 || record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 8 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Paragraph 4, within 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 10 || all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 11 || this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 5 12 || summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 3 13 || Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving N 14 || Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 5 15 || person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 16 || (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 18 || abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 19 || of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 20 || retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 21 || transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 22 || reports, attorney work product, and consultation and expert work product, even if 23 || such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 24 || constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 25 || Section 4. (DURATION). 26 || 14. NON-WAIVER Producing or receiving materials or otherwise complying with 27 || the terms of this Stipulation and Protective Order shall not: 28 -12-

1 (a) Operate as an admission by any Party that any particular Information 2 || is Confidential, constitutes a trade secret, or is otherwise protected by the right to 3 || privacy under California and/or federal law; 4 (b) Prejudice, in any way, the rights of a Party to seek determinations by 5 || this Court regarding whether particular Information should be produced, or whether 6 || such Information, if produced, should be subject to the terms of this Stipulation and 7 || Protective Order; 8 (c) Constitute a waiver of a Party’s rights to claim in this lawsuit or 9|| hereafter that any Information is Confidential, privileged, otherwise non- 10 || discoverable, or inadmissible for any reason including relevance; 11 (d) Prevent the parties to this Stipulation and Protective Order from = agreeing in writing to alter or waive the provisions or protections provided for

_ 13 || herein with respect to particular Information; or 14 (e) In any manner affect a Party’s right to use Confidential Information at 0 g 15 || trial. The trier of fact will not be informed of the existence of this order, or that any 16 || Information is Confidential. Further, any Confidential Information marked Confidential shall have such marking redacted for use at trial. 18 || 15. This Stipulation and Protective Order has no effect upon, and its scope shall 19 || not extend to, any Party’s use of his, her or its own Information regardless of 20 || whether that Information has been designated as Confidential under this Stipulation 21 || and Protective Order. 22 || 16. Nothing in this Stipulation and Protective Order shall be interpreted to require 23 || the disclosure of information protected by the attorney-client privilege or work 24 || product doctrine. 25 || 17. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 26 || measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 27 || sanctions. 28 -13-
