`

`
`ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF ZYNGA
`
`PROTECTED MATERIALS
`
`10
`
`1.
`
`Manner of Designating “ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`11
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Designation in conformity with this Supplemental
`
`12
`
`Protective Order requires:
`
`13
`
`(a)
`
`for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
`
`14
`
`documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
`
`15
`
`Zynga affix the legend “ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES
`
`16
`
`ONLY” to each page of any document for which Zynga seeks protection under this Supplemental
`
`17
`
`Protective Order. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection,
`
`18
`
`Zynga also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in
`
`19
`
`the margins).
`
`20
`
`If Zynga makes original documents or materials available for inspection, it need not
`
`21
`
`designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would
`
`22
`
`like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material
`
`23
`
`made available for inspection shall be deemed “ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`24
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied
`
`25
`
`and produced, Zynga must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection
`
`26
`
`under this Supplemental Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, Zynga
`
`27
`
`must affix the appropriate legend (“ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL

`
`material on a page qualifies for protection, Zynga also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
`
`(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins.)
`
`(b)
`
`for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial proceedings not
`
`involving the court, that Zynga identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or
`
`other proceeding, all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion
`
`of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of the testimony
`
`may qualify for protection, Zynga may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or
`
`other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the specific portions of the
`
`10
`
`testimony as to which protection is sought. Only those portions of the testimony that are
`
`11
`
`appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of this
`
`12
`
`Supplemental Protective Order. Alternatively, Zynga may specify, at the deposition or up to 21
`
`13
`
`days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated as
`
`14
`
`“ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY.” With respect to
`
`15
`
`trial, Zynga can petition the Court for appropriate protective measures which shall be requested in
`
`16
`
`advance of evidence being taken.
`
`17
`
`Zynga and the Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a
`
`18
`
`deposition, hearing, or other proceeding to include “ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`19
`
`OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY” Information or Items so that the other parties can ensure that
`
`20
`
`only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
`
`21
`
`(Exhibit A to the Protective Order) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an
`
`22
`
`exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation as “ZYNGA HIGHLY
`
`23
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY.”
`
`24
`
`Transcripts containing “ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`25
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY” Information or Items shall have an obvious legend on the title page that
`
`26
`
`the transcript contains such material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages
`
`27
`
`(including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as “ZYNGA HIGHLY

`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY”. Zynga shall inform the court reporter
`
`of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for
`
`designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated “ZYNGA HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed.
`
`After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually designated.
`
`(c)
`
`for information produced in some form other than documentary and
`
`for any other tangible items, that Zynga affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container
`
`or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “ZYNGA HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the
`
`10
`
`information or item warrant protection, Zynga, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected
`
`11
`
`portion(s).
`
`12
`
`2.
`
`Disclosure of “ZYNGA HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL
`
`13
`
`EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Nothing in this Supplemental Protective Order shall prohibit
`
`14
`
`Zynga from choosing to disclose information to specific individuals or entities, including expert
`
`15
`
`witnesses, at its own discretion. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by
`
`16
`
`Zynga, a Party may disclose any information or item designated “ZYNGA HIGHLY
`
`17
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY” only to:
`
`18
`
`(a)
`
`the Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as
`
`19
`
`employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the
`
`20
`
`information for these Litigations and who have signed the “Acknowledgement and Agreement to
`
`21
`
`be Bound” that is attached to the Protective Order as Exhibit A;
`
`22

`(b)

`Designated House Counsel of the Party, but only in the event that (i)

`
`24

`
`ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF NIANTIC
`
`PROTECTED MATERIALS
`
`1.
`
`Manner of Designating “NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Designation in conformity with this Supplemental
`
`Protective Order requires:
`
`(a)
`
`for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
`
`documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
`
`10
`
`Niantic affix the legend “NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES
`
`11
`
`ONLY” to each page of any document for which Niantic seeks protection under this Supplemental
`
`12
`
`Protective Order. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection,
`
`13
`
`Niantic also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in
`
`14
`
`the margins).
`
`15
`
`If Niantic makes original documents or materials available for inspection, it need not
`
`16
`
`designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would
`
`17
`
`like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material
`
`18
`
`made available for inspection shall be deemed “NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`19
`
`OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it
`
`20
`
`wants copied and produced, Niantic must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify
`
`21
`
`for protection under this Supplemental Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified
`
`22
`
`documents, Niantic must affix the appropriate legend (“NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`23
`
`OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY”) to each page that contains such material. If only a portion or
`
`24
`
`portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, Niantic also must clearly identify the
`
`25
`
`protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
`
`26
`
`(b)
`
`for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial proceedings not
`
`27
`
`involving the Court, that Niantic identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing,

`
`or other proceeding, all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each
`
`portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of the
`
`testimony may qualify for protection, Niantic may invoke on the record (before the deposition,
`
`hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the specific
`
`portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought. Only those portions of the testimony that
`
`are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of
`
`this Supplemental Protective Order. Alternatively, Niantic may specify, at the deposition or up to
`
`21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated as
`
`“NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY.” With respect to
`
`10
`
`trial, Niantic can petition the Court for appropriate protective measures which shall be requested in
`
`11
`
`advance of evidence being taken.
`
`12
`
`Niantic and the Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a
`
`13
`
`deposition, hearing, or other proceeding to include “NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`14
`
`OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY” Information or Items so that the other parties can ensure that
`
`15
`
`only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
`
`16
`
`(Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition
`
`17
`
`shall not in any way affect its designation as “NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`18
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY.”
`
`19
`
`Transcripts containing “NIANTIC HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`20
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY” Information or Items shall have an obvious legend on the title page that
`
`21
`
`the transcript contains such material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages
`
`22
`
`(including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as “NIANTIC HIGHLY
`
`23
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY”. Niantic shall inform the court reporter
`
`24
`
`of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for
`
`25
`
`designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated “NIANTIC HIGHLY
`
`26
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed.
`
`27
`
`After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually designated.
