2. Defendant is ordered not to transfer, delete, alter, or otherwise modify any of its current

domain name registrations, including without limitation bicprod.com, except as necessary to effectuate

this Order.

3. Register.com, Inc. is ordered to take all steps necessary to assist in the transfer of the

aforementioned domain name registrations to Plaintiff to effectuate this Order.

4. The Court directs the United States Marshal, pursuant to California Code of Civil

Procedure §699.080, to act as a levying officer consistent with 28 U.S.C. §1921, the internal procedures

and policies of the United States Marshal's Office, and this Order. At the time of levy, pursuant to

California Code of Civil Procedure §701.520, Plaintiff shall serve, either personally or by mail, a notice

of intended sale of the property on Defendant. A copy of the notice of intended sale and proof of service

on Defendant shall be filed with the Court and with the United States Marshal. The notice of intended

sale shall describe the property to be sold and state that it will be sold at an execution sale unless, within

ten (10) days after service of the notice of intended sale, Defendant applies to the Court on noticed

motion for an order that the property be collected rather than sold. A copy of such noticed motion shall

also be filed with the United States Marshal. If Defendant fails to file a copy of such noticed motion

with the Court and United States Marshal within the time period prescribed by California Code of Civil

Procedure §701.520, the United States Marshal shall arrange for the sale of the domain name

registrations identified in Paragraph 1 of this Order through a recognized, publicly utilized service that

specializes in the sale of domain name registrations, such as www.Afternic.com. The sale shall be

advertised by the United States Marshal in The Recorder for at least seven (7) days prior to the date of

the sale of the domain name registrations. Plaintiff will pay the costs of the sale, including the costs of

advertising, which costs shall be deducted from the Marshal's commission. The United States Marshal

shall also be authorized to sign the Bill of Sale, if applicable. Such sale is for the benefit of Plaintiff to

enable it to collect at least a portion of its judgment herein.

5. Plaintiff is permitted to make a credit bid at any such sale, based on the judgment herein.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT:

6. Plaintiff shall return to Defendant any amount received from the sale of the

aforementioned domain name registrations that is in excess of Plaintiff's judgment including attorney's

fees, costs and interest, as permitted by law. Should sale of one domain name registration or a

combination of domain name registrations result in a cash payment in full to Plaintiff, in an amount

sufficient to satisfy Plaintiff's judgment, including attorney's fees, costs and interest, as provided by law,

then Plaintiff shall return to Defendant any unsold aforementioned domain name registrations. Any

income realized from Plaintiff's subsequent operation of a website using the above-referenced domain

names is not to be considered income from the sale of the domain name registration itself.

7. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT FAILURE BY DEFENDANT TO COMPLY

WITH THIS ORDER MAY SUBJECT DEFENDANT TO ARREST AND PUNISHMENT FOR

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
