Based upon the stipulation and agreement of the Plaintiffs and Defendants (collectively "Parties") and SmartDrive Systems, Inc. ("SDSI"), the Court orders as follows:

(1) "SDSI Confidential Documents" shall mean any and all documents produced by SDSI to the Parties that contain the private, confidential, proprietary, trade secret and/or protected personal or financial information of SDSI or SDSI's employees or agents. SDSI will place the words "CONFIDENTIAL — SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" at the top of each page of such documents produced to so indicate the confidential nature of the document.

(2) The Parties, including the Parties counsel, shall use the SDSI Confidential Documents only for purposes of this case, Case No. 4:19-CV-4018-SOH.

(3) The Parties, and their counsel shall only disclose SDSI Confidential Documents to: (a) Parties to this case, including any officers, and in-house counsel of any party to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of prosecuting or defending this case; (b) the Parties counsel of record in this case; (c) the Parties counsel's support staff, legal assistants or employees of the Parties counsel of record who are necessary to assist in prosecuting or defending this case; and (d) the Parties experts and consultants, so long as the experts and consultants agree to be bound by the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order before being provided with SDSI Confidential Documents.

(4) Any SDSI Confidential Documents disclosed in any pleading, motion, deposition transcript, brief, exhibit, or other filing with the Court shall be maintained under seal. If SDSI Confidential Documents are used in any filing they should be delivered in hard copy to the Clerk's Office for filing under seal and where the SDSI Confidential Documents belong in the filing it should be replaced with a slip sheet appropriately labeled "UNDER SEAL" to indicate the exhibits or other materials have been omitted in their entirety from the public filing.

(5) At the conclusion of this case, including the appeals, counsel for the Parties, as well as the Parties experts and/or consultants, shall take all reasonable steps necessary to destroy all copies of SDSI Confidential Documents.

(6) Nothing in this Order shall prevent the Parties or SDSI from seeking modification of this Order at any time as to specific matters designated SDSI Confidential Documents or to remove such documents from the application of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
