STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

Upon agreement of the parties to the above-captioned action and this Honorable Court to the entry of a protective order, and due to the likelihood that discovery and relief sought in this action ("Action") by Plaintiff will require production of certain confidential, personal, private, proprietary, commercial, financial, business, trade secret and/or otherwise sensitive information, and due to the need to protect the confidentiality of such information, it is agreed by the parties and ordered as follows:

1. Scope.

(a) Confidential Information: All documents, information, electronically stored information, testimony, or other things furnished by Tristar Products, Inc. ("Tristar") in conjunction with this Action, which it considers in good faith to contain, reflect, or comment upon trade secrets, proprietary, confidential, privileged, private, personal, sensitive, commercial, financial or business information ("Confidential Information") may be designated CONFIDENTIAL and furnished to the parties pursuant to the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order ("Order"). The party receiving the Confidential Information shall treat it as proprietary information and shall not use or disclose the information except as set forth in this Order. The provisions of this Order extend to all Confidential Information regardless of the manner in which it is disclosed, including but not limited to documents, interrogatory answers, responses to requests for admission, deposition transcripts, deposition exhibits, and any other discovery materials and tangible things that are produced, made available for inspection, disclosed, or filed in this Action, including any copies, notes, abstracts, or summaries of the foregoing materials.

No documents shall be designated or remain "Confidential" that: (a) at the time of disclosure hereunder are in the public domain; or (b) become available to the public after disclosure hereunder through no fault of the receiving party; or (c) are in the possession of the receiving party prior to disclosure hereunder, as evidenced by competent evidence; or (d) are disclosed to the receiving party by a third party that has an independent right to disclose such information.

2. Designation of Confidentiality:

Documents or information may be designated CONFIDENTIAL within the meaning of this Order in the following ways:

(a) Documents: In the case of documents and the information contained therein, designation shall be made by means of the following legend placed on each page of any such document: "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL-SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" or something similar thereto.

(b) Other Discovery: In the case of interrogatory answers, responses to requests for admissions and the information contained therein, designation shall be made by means of a statement in the answers or responses specifying that the answers or responses or specific parts thereof are designated CONFIDENTIAL. The following legend shall be placed on the front of any set of interrogatory answers or responses to requests for admission containing Confidential Information: "CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Designated parts not to be used, copied or disclosed except as authorized by Court Order."

(c) Depositions: In the case of depositions and the information contained in depositions (including exhibits), designation of the portions of the transcript (including exhibits) which contain Confidential Information shall be made by a statement to such effect on the record in the course of the deposition by counsel for the party or witness producing such information, or by letter from counsel to the court reporter, with copies to Counsel of Record, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the final deposition transcript or copy thereof. To retain any designations beyond the provisional period, a Designating Party must designate specific pages and lines of deposition testimony before the provisional period has expired. The entire deposition transcript (including exhibits) shall be treated as Confidential under this Order until the expiration of the above-referenced thirty-day period for designation by letter, except that the deponent may review the transcript of his or her own deposition during this thirty-day period. Counsel also may agree to extend the time period for providing such designations. Before the above-referenced thirty-day period (and any agreed-to extension thereof) has passed, the following legend shall be placed on the front of the original deposition transcript and each copy of the transcript: "TREAT AS CONFIDENTIAL UNTIL FURTHER DESIGNATION." After the above-referenced thirty-day period (and any agreed-to extension thereof) has passed, the following legend shall be placed on the front of the original deposition transcript and each copy of the transcript containing Confidential Information: "CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Designated parts not to be used, copied or disclosed except as authorized by Court Order." If all or part of a videotaped deposition is designated as CONFIDENTIAL, the videocassette or other videotape container shall be labeled with the legend provided for in paragraph 2(a) above.

(d) Electronically Stored Information: To the extent that matter stored or recorded in the form of electronically stored information (including information, databases or programs stored on computers, discs, networks or tapes) ("Electronically Stored Information") is produced by any party in such form, the producing party may designate such matter as CONFIDENTIAL by cover letter referring generally to such matter. Whenever any party to whom Computerized Information designated as CONFIDENTIAL is produced reduces such material to hard-copy form, such party shall mark such hard-copy form with the legend provided for in paragraph 2(a) above. To the extent that any party or counsel for any party creates, develops or otherwise establishes any Electronically Stored Information, including any database, disc or tape, which contains information designated CONFIDENTIAL, that party and/or its counsel must take all necessary steps to insure that access to that Electronically Stored Information is properly restricted to those persons who, by the terms of this Order, may have access to Confidential Information.

(e) Information Filed with the Court: Any party seeking to file with the Court documents and/or materials designated CONFIDENTIAL shall file such documents under seal by following the protocols for sealed filings in this Court, including the requirements for a motion for an order sealing the documents consistent with the Ninth Circuit opinions of Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-79 (9th Cir. 2006) and Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Association, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th Cir. 2010), and Local Rule 10-5(b). All documents and materials filed with the Court containing or reflecting the contents of Confidential Information shall be endorsed with the caption of the Action, a generic designation of the contents, and the words "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION — SUBJECT TO COURT ORDER."

No party or other person may have access to any sealed document from the files of the Court without an order of the Court.

3. Use of Confidential Information:

Confidential Information shall be used by any party, other than the producing party, solely for the purpose of conducting this Action, and shall in no event be used for any business, competitive, personal, private, public or other purpose, except as required by law.

4. Disclosure of Confidential Information:

Access to information designated CONFIDENTIAL pursuant to this Order shall be limited to:

(a) the parties and counsel for the parties (including members or associates of such counsel's firm) or in-house and outside counsel for the parties, as well as their paralegal, investigative, secretarial and clerical personnel who are engaged in assisting such counsel in this Action;

(b) outside photocopying, data processing, graphic production, stenographers, or videographers employed by the parties or their counsel to assist in this Action;

(c) any outside expert who is not employed by or affiliated with any party or an affiliate of a party and is retained by counsel for the purposes of consulting and/or testifying in this Action;

(d) any party or any director, officer or employee of a party charged with the responsibility for making business decisions dealing directly with the resolution of this Action;

(e) any person whose testimony is taken or is to be taken by deposition or at trial in this Action who in good faith is required to be shown or questioned about such material in order to assist such attorney in the preparation or the conduct of this Action, provided disclosing counsel determines in good faith that the disclosure is appropriate to the effective prosecution or defense of the Action;

(f) any person who authored or received the particular material sought to be disclosed to that person (provided that the document has not been altered since that person authored or received the material);

(g) this Court or any other Court exercising jurisdiction with respect to this Action, Court personnel, jurors, alternate jurors, and qualified persons (including necessary clerical personnel) recording, taking or transcribing testimony or argument at any deposition, hearing, trial or appeal in this Action; and

(h) any other person to whom the party producing the information agrees in writing.

5. Notification of Confidentiality Order:

Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to persons described in paragraphs 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), or 4(e) unless and until such person has executed an Agreement of Confidentiality in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. However, Confidential Information may be disclosed to non-parties and former employees (this does not include current employees of any party to this Action) pursuant to paragraph 4(e) provided that such persons are provided a copy of this Order, they represent that they have read and understand the provisions of this Order or its summary, and they are advised by the disclosing counsel that such persons are bound by the provisions of this Order. The originals of such Agreements shall be maintained by counsel for the party who obtained them until the final resolution of this Action. Upon a showing of good cause to the Court, copies of all executed Agreements shall be provided to the counsel for opposing parties within 30 days. This prohibition includes either direct or indirect disclosure, including but not limited to any disclosure by counsel or experts.

6. Objections to Designations:

If, after attempting in good faith pursuant to Local Rule 26-7 any dispute regarding the proper designation or material as CONFIDENTIAL, and after the Plaintiff provides written notice to Defendant that she is objecting to the designation of any document as CONFIDENTIAL, Defendant shall have ten (10) days after service of said objection to submit the matter to the Court for resolution. Should Defendant not file a timely motion to the Court to decide the matter, then the confidentiality designation as to the objected to document or documents shall be withdrawn. The producing party has the burden of supporting its designation. If the parties are unable to reach an accord and if no application to the Court is made, the material will remain as designated.

Any information which had been produced and designated CONFIDENTIAL, but which is subject to a dispute as to its proper designation, shall remain CONFIDENTIAL pending resolution of the dispute. In the event the court determines that non-confidential information has improperly and in bad faith been designated as "Confidential," the challenging party may seek an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses associated with such challenge.

7. Preservation of Rights and Privileges:

Nothing contained in this Order shall affect the right, if any, of any party or witness to make any other type of objection, claim, or other response to discovery requests, including, without limitation, interrogatories, requests for admissions, requests for production of documents or questions at a deposition. Nor shall this Order be construed as a waiver by any party of any legally cognizable privilege to withhold any Confidential Information, or of any right which any party may have to assert such privilege at any stage of this Action.

8. Return of Materials:

At the conclusion of this Action, all Confidential Information, and copies of such materials, shall be surrendered to the designated party (or its counsel) or destroyed. All notes arising from the examination of such Confidential Information shall be treated with the same degree of confidentiality as the Confidential Information and may only be disseminated pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order. Such notes shall be destroyed by Recipients or their attorneys at the conclusion of this Action. Recipients' attorneys shall certify, within twenty (20) days of the conclusion of this Action, that the requirements of this paragraph have been met by all signatories to this Protective Order.

9. Inadvertent or Unintentional Disclosure:

The inadvertent or unintentional disclosure by the producing party of Confidential Information, or information subject to a claim of privilege, including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine (an "Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document"), regardless of whether the information was so designated at the time of disclosure, shall not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a party's claim of confidentiality or privilege, either as to the specific information disclosed or as to any other information relating thereto or on the same or related subject matter. Nothing contained within this paragraph prevents a party from challenging such a designation of documents or information as Confidential pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph 6.

10. No Admissions:

A party's compliance with the terms of this Order shall not operate as an admission regarding the confidentiality, admissibility, or privileged nature of any particular document or information.

11. Notice:

Any party or person in possession of Confidential Information or an Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document with respect to which the producing party has asserted a claim of privilege in accordance with paragraph 9 who receives a subpoena (or other process) from any person (including natural persons, corporations, partnerships, firms, governmental agencies, departments or bodies, boards or associations) who is not a party to this Order, which subpoena seeks production or other disclosure of such Confidential Information or an Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document, shall promptly give written notice by e-mail to counsel for the party who produced or designated the materials as confidential or privileged identifying the materials sought and enclosing a copy of the subpoena or other process. The party or person receiving the subpoena shall also inform the person seeking the Confidential Information or an Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document that such Information is either confidential or privileged, subject to Protective Order and may not be disclosed without the consent of the party that produced the Confidential Information or designated the document as privileged.

12. Non-Parties:

This Protective Order shall apply to non-parties who are obliged to provide discovery, by deposition, production of documents or otherwise, in this Action, unless the non-party waives the protection of this Protective Order. This Protective Order shall also apply to non-parties who are afforded access to documents or information produced during discovery in this Action, whether by deposition, production of documents or otherwise.

13. Continuing Jurisdiction:

Upon the final resolution of this Action, the provisions of this Order shall continue to be binding.

14. Violation:

Any party to this action may file a motion requesting the Court to sanction or hold in contempt of Court anyone who violates the terms of this Protective Order.

15. This Order shall remain in force and effect until modified, superseded, or terminated by consent of the parties, or by order of the Court made upon reasonable written request.
