disclosed hereunder shall not be used in any other proceedings or lawsuits, or for any other
purpose.
2. The Producing Party possesses and/or holds the right to certain confidential and
trade secret information which may be disclosed to the parties in this action through discovery, or
otherwise. The parties recognize that during the course of this litigation they may be requested
to produce or disclose certain documents, or to provide testimony containing confidential
proprietary, commercial and/or financial information. The parties desire to make sure that any,
such confidential and trade secret information shall not be used for any purpose other than this
lawsuit, shall not be made public by any party to this action, shall not be unnecessarily ascoga
in the course of these proceedings and shall not be otherwise disseminated by any party to thig
action except as set forth in this Protective Order. The parties to this action, through their
attorneys of records, represent that they have no intention to use such information for any
purpose beyond this action, and shall not do so. Accordingly, through their respective

interest in the confidential information and documents to be produced and such information, |

and other confidential information protected by law from disclosure. Producing Party contends
that the disclosure of confidential and privileged information and trade secrets would necessarily
result in serious harm to the business Farmers Insurance Company and to the Producing Party,
4. “Trade secret information,” as defined herein, is to include any formula, design,
specification, or proprietary information relating to Farmers Insurance Company including such
information and tools provided for use by agents and or brokers authorize to place insurance
issued by Farmers Insurance Company and its affiliated insurance companies and the Farmei
