LITTLER MENDELSON

Plaintiff Lee Lahtinen, in his capacity as Trustee of the San Francisco Lithographers

Pension Trust ("Plaintiff), and Defendants Repro Media, a California Corporation, Arno Ruben,

individually and doing business as Repro Media, and Arno Ruben, individually ("Defendants"),

through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and request that the Court order that the Initial

Case Management Conference and related deadlines be continued for approximately three months.

1. Pursuant to the Court's Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference

and ADR Deadlines, the Initial Case Management Conference in this action is set for September 28,

2006 at 10:00 a.m. Other case management deadlines, including the filing of the ADR Certification,

completion of initial disclosures, and filing of the Case Management Statement, precede and are set

in relation to the Case Management Conference.

2. Defendants have only just recently appeared in the action, having filed their

Answer to Complaint for Withdrawal Liability on August 29, 2006.

3. The parties wish to explore a possible resolution of this action without the

necessity of further litigation time and expense. To that end, Defendants have informally requested

certain information from Plaintiff. Plaintiff is currently in the process of reviewing Defendant's

request and is amenable to exchanging relevant information as part of the exploration of settlement.

The parties currently anticipate that a short extension of case management deadlines will enable

them to focus their efforts on resolving this matter.

4. There have been no previous time modifications related to the Initial Case

Management Conference or related case management activities in this case.

5. The parties expect that the requested extension of the date for the Initial Case

Management Conference will have no adverse effect on the schedule for the case. No trial date or

other deadlines have yet been set. The requested extension may facilitate the resolution of the

parties' dispute, and will at a minimum enable the parties to exchange information about their

respective positions that may streamline case management.

6. Counsel for the parties would be available for a case management conference

on December 14, 2006 or December 21, 2006.
