JOINT STIPULATION TO STAY THE LITIGATION

Plaintiff Menlo Equities Development Services Company LLC (“MEDSCO”) and Defendant 

Fourth Quarter Properties XLVIII, LLC (“Fourth Quarter”) stipulate as follows: 

1. On February 22, 2007, the parties agreed in principle to settle the litigation and 

executed a Term Sheet reflecting their agreement. The Term Sheet was prepared in anticipation of a 

formal Settlement Agreement to be finalized and signed by the parties. 

2. The parties agreed jointly to ask the Court to stay all other matters pending in the case 

for ninety (90) days after the execution of the Term Sheet. Accordingly, the parties stipulate that all 

litigation in the case is stayed until May 23, 2007, and that all dates in this case are vacated, 

including the February 26, 2007 hearing on MEDSCO’s Application for a Writ of Attachment and 

the Case Management Conference currently set for April 24, 2007. 

3. The parties stipulate that the stay does not apply to the parties’ joint request that the 

Court issue to MEDSCO a Right to Attach Order and Order for Issuance of Writ of Attachment. 

4. The parties stipulate that Fourth Quarter shall not answer, respond to, or otherwise 

defend against the First Amended Complaint in this matter while the stay is in effect. 

5. The parties stipulate that at any time, either party may contact the Court to schedule a 

status conference to bring to the Court’s attention any reason this order staying the litigation should 

be terminated.
