Court reporters, stenographers and videographers retained to record 6 || testimony taken in this action. 7 Vi. Deposition and trial witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 8 || Litigation to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) the deponents and trial witnesses will not be permitted to keep any Protected Material unless they sign a copy of Exhibit or unless otherwise agreed by the Producing Party or ordered by the court.

If a Producing Party elects to produce original files and records for inspection and Receiving Party desires to inspect those files, no confidentiality designations need be made the Producing Party in advance of the initial inspection, but the Receiving Party shall maintain the confidentiality of all those original files and records that it reviews and treat such 7}\information as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Thereafter, upon 8||selection of specified documents, materials or things for copying by the Receiving Party, the 9)/Producing Party shall mark the copies of such documents as may contain protected subject matter with the appropriate designation at the time the copies are produced to the Receiving 11} Party. 12 f. The deposition testimony and deposition transcript of a Party shall be presumptively deemed to contain Confidential Information and subject to the provisions of this Order.

Counsel for the designating party may not 27|\simply designate an entire transcript as CONFIDENTIAL, but shall make a good faith effort to 28 || apply the designation(s) by page and line number. If counsel for the deponent or any Party to this 1 || action designates a portion of the testimony as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY on the record during the deposition, the designating party shall the right to exclude all persons not bound or authorized under this Order from the deposition, or any portion thereof, before the designated testimony is taken. 51/7. CHALLENGING DESIGNATIONS OF PROTECTED MATERIAL. 6 a. A Party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation of 7|| Discovery Material under this Order at the time the designation is made, and a failure to do so 8 || shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. 9 b. Any challenge to a designation of Discovery Material under this Order shall be 10|| written, shall be served on Outside Counsel for the Producing Party, shall particularly identify 11 documents or information that the Receiving Party contends should be differently designated, the grounds for the objection to each challenged designation. For avoidance of doubt, such 13 | challenge may be made via e-mail to Outside Counsel for the Producing Party. The Parties shall 14|\thereafter meet and confer in good faith and attempt to resolve any dispute regarding the 15 || designation. See Local Rule IA 1-3(f). 16 c. If the Parties are unable to agree as to whether the designation is appropriate, any Party(ies) may notify the other Party(ies) that the discussions are at an impasse, after which the 18 || objecting Party shall have ten (10) business days to move for an order to remove the disputed 19 ll designation. See Local Rule 26-6. The designating party shall have the burden of justifying the disputed designation. 21 d. The Parties’ entry into this Order shall not preclude or prejudice either Party from arguing for or against any designation, establish any presumption that a particular designation is or alter the burden of proof that would otherwise apply in a dispute over discovery or 24 disclosure of information. 25 e. Notwithstanding any challenge to a designation, the Discovery Material in question shall continue to be treated as designated under this Protective Order until one of the following occurs: (a) the Party who designated the Discovery Material in question withdraws 28 designation in writing; or (b) the Court rules that the Discovery Material in question is not 2 || entitled to the designation. 3119. SUBPOENAS OR COURT ORDERS. 4 If at any time a Receiving Party receives a subpoena from any court, arbitral, 5||administrative, regulatory or legislative body, requesting Discovery Material produced by 6 || another party, the Party to whom the subpoena or other request is directed shall immediately give 7||prompt written notice thereof to every party who has produced such Discovery Material and to 8 counsel and shall provide each such party with an opportunity to move for a protective order 9 regarding the production of Protected Materials. Nothing in this Paragraph should be construed permitting disclosure of Protected Material to any third party except as expressly provided in 11 this Order. 12110. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL. 13 a. As applied to documents, materials or other papers filed with the Court that have designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES IS||ONLY,” the Parties shall file such documents (or any portion thereof) under seal using the 16 || Court’s electronic filing procedures. See Local Rule IA 10-5. Papers filed with the Court under must be accompanied with a concurrently-filed motion for leave to file those documents 18 | under seal. See Local Rule IA 10-5(a). If the Court concludes the documents, materials or other 19||papers submitted to not be entitled to confidential protection and denies leave to file such 20 || Confidential Discovery Material under seal on that basis, the moving Party may submit the 21 Confidential Discovery Material to the Court unsealed and unredacted, but will, in all other 22 |l respects, treat such material as Confidential consistent with the terms of this Order. 23 b. If a Party believes that material has been designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or |!“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and cannot or should not be 25|!sealed, pursuant to the protocols and rules in this District, then the Party wishing to file the materials shall particularly identify the documents or information that it wishes to file to the 27||\Producing Party, in writing. The Parties will then meet and confer, in a good faith effort to 28 |lresolve the dispute. Failing agreement, the Party wishing to file the materials must request a 1 ruling from the Court on whether the Discovery Material in question must be submitted under 2 The Producing Party shall have the burden of justifying that the materials must be submitted seal. Absent written permission from the Producing Party or a court Order denying a motion to seal, a Receiving Party may not file in the public record any Protected Material. 5 c. The use of Protected Material during the pre-trial hearing shall be determined by 6 | agreement of the Parties or as directed by the Court. 7/11. SHIPPING PROTECTED MATERIALS. 8 When any Receiving Party ships any Discovery Material to others designated in this 9]Order as authorized to receive Discovery Material, the Receiving Party will take measures to protect the security of the material including, but not limited to, file sharing applications, 11 encryption (if the Discovery Material is in electronic format), or any comparable method. If the 12||Discovery Material is in hard copy/paper form, the Receiving Party will ship the Discovery 13 || Material via Federal Express, UPS, or certified U.S. Postal Service and retain a tracking number for the materials. If the Receiving Party learns at any time that Discovery Material may have 15 retrieved or viewed by unauthorized parties during shipment, it will immediately notify the 16 || Producing Party and take all reasonable measures to retrieve the improperly disclosed Discovery 17 || Material. 18/12. UNINTENTIONAL DISCLOSURE OF PRIVILEGED MATERIALS. 19 a. The inadvertent production of documents (including both paper documents and 20|felectronically stored information) subject to protection by the attorney-client privilege, the 21 || work-product privilege, or by any other legal privilege protecting information from discovery, not constitute a waiver of any privilege or other protection, provided that the Producing 23 || Party notifies the Receiving Party, in writing, of the production after its discovery of the same. 24 b. If the Producing Party notifies the Receiving Party that privileged materials 25|\(hereinafter referred to as the “Identified Materials”) have been produced, the Identified 26 || Materials and all copies of those materials shall be returned to the Producing Party, destroyed, or deleted, on request of the Producing Party. If the Receiving Party has any notes or other work 28 || product reflecting the contents of the Identified Materials, the Receiving Party will immediately 1|/sequester and not review or use those materials unless a court later designates the Identified 2 || Materials as not privileged or protected. 3 c. The Identified Materials shall be deleted from any systems used to house the documents, including document review databases, e-rooms and any other location that stores the 5 ||documents. The Receiving Party may make no use of the Identified Materials during any aspect 6]! of this matter or any other matter, including in depositions or at trial, unless the documents are designated by a court as not privileged or protected. 8 d. The contents of the Identified Materials shall not be disclosed to anyone who was 9 not already aware of the contents of them before the notice was made. 10 e. If any Receiving Party is in receipt of a document from a Producing Party which Receiving Party has reason to believe is privileged, the Receiving Party shall in good faith reasonable steps to promptly notify the Producing Party of the production of that document that the Producing Party may determine whether it wishes to have the documents returned or 14] destroyed pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order. 15 f. The Receiving Party returning the Identified Materials may move the Court for an order compelling production of some or all of the material returned or destroyed, but the basis 17] for such a motion may not be the fact or circumstances of the production. 18 g. The Parties agree that this Order is an Order entered under Rule 502(d) of the Federal Rules of Evidence and thus the disclosure of Identified Materials is not a waiver of the 20 || privilege in any other federal or state proceeding. 21 h. This stipulated agreement set forth in Paragraph 12 and its subparts does not 22|\constitute a concession by any Party that any documents are subject to protection by the 23 || attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or any other potentially applicable privilege 241 or doctrine. This agreement also is not intended to waive or limit in any way either Party’s right contest any privilege claims that may be asserted with respect to any of the documents 26 || produced except to the extent stated in the agreement. 27 28 1113. | INADVERTENT FAILURE TO DESIGNATE PROPERLY. 2 a. The inadvertent failure by a Producing Party to designate Discovery Material with correct confidentiality designation shall not waive any such designation. If the Producing notifies the Receiving Party of an inadvertent failure to designate materials as 5||“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the 6|/Producing Party shall reproduce the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality designation within ten (10) days upon its notification to the Receiving Party. For avoidance of 8 || doubt, such challenge may be made via e-mail to Outside Counsel for the Producing Party. Upon 9|receiving the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality designation, the Receiving Parties shall destroy all Discovery Material that was not designated properly. 11 b. A Receiving Party shall not be in breach of this Order for any use of such 12 || inadvertently-non-designated or inadvertently mis-designated Discovery Material before the 13 Receiving Party receives notice of the inadvertent failure to designate. Once a Receiving Party received notice of the inadvertent failure to designate pursuant to this provision, the 15|Receiving Party shall treat such Discovery Material at the appropriately designated level pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order. 17114. INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE NOT AUTHORIZED BY ORDER. 18 a. In the event of a disclosure of any Protected Material pursuant to this Order to any 19! person or persons not authorized to receive such disclosure under this Protective Order, the party 20 lresponsible for having made such disclosure, and each party with knowledge thereof, including 21 Receiving Party, shall immediately notify counsel for the Producing Party whose Protected 22||Material has been disclosed and provide to such counsel all known relevant information 23 | concerning the nature and circumstances of the disclosure. The responsible disclosing party, and Party who provided documents to the disclosing party, shall also promptly take all reasonable 25 || measures to retrieve the improperly disclosed Protected Material and to ensure that no further or 26 || greater unauthorized disclosure and/or use thereof is made. 27 b. Unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure does not change the status of Discovery 28 || Material or waive the right to hold the disclosed document or information as Protected. FINAL DISPOSITION. 2 a. Not later than sixty (60) days after the final disposition of the last pending case in Litigation, each Party shall return all Discovery Material of a Producing Party to the 4||respective Outside Counsel of the Producing Party or destroy such Discovery Material, at the 5|option of the Producing Party. For purposes of this Order, “final disposition” occurs after an 6|lorder, mandate, or dismissal finally terminating the last pending case in the Litigation with prejudice, including all appeals. 8 b. All Parties that have received any such Discovery Material shall certify in writing all such materials have been returned to the respective Outside Counsel of the Producing or destroyed. Notwithstanding the provisions for return of Discovery Material, Outside Counsel may retain one set of pleadings, motion papers, discovery responses, hearing transcripts, deposition transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product (but not document 14] productions), even if such materials contain Protected Information for archival purposes, which 15}! shall remain subject to this Agreement. 16/16. NOTICE TO NONPARTIES. 17 1. Any Party issuing a subpoena to a nonparty shall enclose a copy of this Protective 18||Order and advise the nonparty that it may designate any documents or other information it produces pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order, should the nonparty producing party to do so. This Order shall be binding in favor of nonparty designating parties to the 21||maximum extent permitted by law. Any nonparty invoking the Protective Order shall comply with, and be subject to, all applicable sections of the Protective Order. 23117. MISCELLANEOUS. 24 a. Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person 25 seek its modification by the Court in the future. By stipulating to this Order, the Parties do not waive the right to argue that certain material may require additional or different confidentiality 27] protections than those set forth herein. 28 1 b. Termination of Matter and Retention of Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that 2||the terms of this Protective Order shall survive and remain in effect after the termination of the 3 || above-captioned matter unless modified by an Order of the Court or by the written stipulation of Parties filed with the Court. The Court shall retain jurisdiction after termination of this 5 || matter to hear and resolve any disputes arising out of this Protective Order. 6 c. Successors. This Order shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, their attorneys, 7lland their successors, executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, legal 8 representatives, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, agents, retained consultants and 9 || experts, and any persons or organizations over which they have direct control. 10 d. Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 11]/Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing information or item. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in 13 || evidence any of the material covered by this Protective Order. This Order shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any Party to claim in this action or otherwise that any Discovery Material, any portion thereof, is privileged or otherwise non-discoverable, or is not admissible in 16 || evidence in this action or any other proceeding. 17 e. Actions to Protect Confidential Information. In the event that the Court determines that there is an actual or threatened breach of this Order by a Party who received 19||Protected Material, the Parties agree that the Producing Party would not have an adequate 20 |lremedy at law and would be entitled to specific performance, and/or injunctive relief, to enforce terms of this Order, in addition to any other remedy the Party may be entitled at law or in 22 equity. 23 f. Burdens of Proof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, nothing in Protective Order shall be construed to change the burdens of proof or legal standards 25|lapplicable in disputes regarding whether particular Discovery Material is confidential, which of confidentiality is appropriate, whether disclosure should be restricted, and if so, what restrictions should apply. 28 1 g. Modifications. The Parties may, in writing, provide for exceptions to this Order any Party may seek an order of this Court modifying this Order. This Order is subject to 3] further court orders based upon public policy or other considerations, and the Court may modify Order sua sponte in the interests of justice. The United States District Court for the District Nevada is responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of this Order. All disputes 6 | concerning Protected Material, however designated, produced under the protection of this Order be resolved by the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. 8 IT IS SO STIPULATED AND AGREED. 9||DATED this 30 day of January, 2024.
