RECITALS

1. WHEREAS, Sharper Image Corporation filed its Complaint in this case on 

September 13, 2005; 

2. WHEREAS, this case has been related to Sharper Image Corporation v. The May 

Department Stores Co., Case No. 04-0824 CW (the “underlying action”), in light of the similar 

issues the two cases share; 

3. WHEREAS, on March 29, 2006, in the underlying action, the Court issued an 

Order Addressing Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment, which dismissed several claims based 

on issues similar to those pending in the present action (the “March 29, 2006 Order”); 

4. WHEREAS, an appeal of the March 29, 2006 Order is currently pending before the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Appeal”); 

5. WHEREAS, on May 24, 2006, pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, this 

Court issued an order staying all activity in this case pending the outcome of the Appeal and 

setting a status conference in this case for June 8, 2007 (which was subsequently moved to 

June 12, 2007); 

6. WHEREAS, briefing of the Appeal has just recently been completed, but a date for 

oral argument has not yet been set; 

7. WHEREAS, in light of the status of the Appeal, the parties agree that judicial and 

party resources would best be conserved by vacating the June 12, 2007 status conference and 

setting a new status conference for December 11, 2007; 

 THEREFORE: 

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between counsel for Plaintiff, on the one hand,
