SECOND ADDENDUM TO THE AGREED CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER
WHEREAS, Defendant Paycor, Inc. (“Paycor”) is in possession, custody, or control
of certain electronically stored information (“ESI”) which identify Paycor customers;
WHEREAS, Paycor has or will exchange such ESI, herein referred to as “Protected
ESI,” in the instant matter to, among other things, respond to Plaintiff’s discovery
requests;
WHEREAS, Paycor views the identities of its customers as commercial
information that it maintains as confidential;
WHEREAS, to encourage the open and free exchange of information, and to
prevent undue harassment or targeting of Paycor customers, it is essential that Protected

treated as Protected Materials as defined in the Addendum to the Agreed Confidentiality
Order entered in this case (Doc. 142) and used only in connection with the instant matter;

In light of the foregoing recitals, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

litigation for any purpose, including any subsequent legal or administrative proceeding.
3. 	The name and/or identity of any Paycor customer disclosed within the
Protected ESI need not be redacted during the exchange of discovery but must be
redacted in any public filing and at trial.
4. 	Protected ESI shall be designated and treated as Confidential Information
under the Agreed Confidentiality Order (Doc. 49 ¶ 3(a)) and may not be disclosed to any
attorney or employee/agent thereof who has not filed an appearance in the instant
matter.
5. 	Nothing in this Second Addendum waives any party’s right to challenge a
confidentiality designation in accordance with ¶ 9 of the Agreed Confidentiality Order.
(Doc. 49).
6. 	Counsel for Plaintiff shall destroy any Protected ESI in its possession within
thirty (30) days of the conclusion of this litigation.
