“Protective Order’) requires that an application to seal be filed whenever any

papers are filed containing information and/or documents designated as i “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION PROTECTIVE

ORDER.” Dkt. 102 at 410. The specific grounds that apply are set forth below:

Motion for Class Certification of New and Remaining Claims Relating to Current Basis Policy Values is an internal LSW memorandum.

This is confidential, non-public commercial information that, if disclosed to the general public or competitors of LSW could reasonably and in good faith be expected to result in prejudice or harm. For the foregoing reasons, LSW respectfully requests that the Court grant LSW’s application to the Court for an Order sealing Exhibit A to the Declaration

of Brian P. Brosnahan in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification of

New and Remaining Claims Relating to Current Basis Policy Values.
