STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

WHEREAS, on April 8, 2005 the Court held an Initial Case Management Conference in this

matter. Pursuant to the stipulation of the Parties, the Court, on April 11, 2005, ordered the matter to

Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) and appointed Jack Russo, Esq. as the evaluator; 

WHEREAS, on August 25, 2005, the Court extended the deadline for completion of the ENE to

October 31, and scheduled a Case Management Conference for November 4, 2005;

WHEREAS, the parties scheduled the ENE with evaluator Jack Russo for October 24, 2005

and the deposition of Defendant’s CEO, Matt Gilson, for October 20, 2005 in anticipation of the ENE; 

WHEREAS, on October 19, 2005, Mr. Russo requested that the Parties agree to reschedule the

ENE because of an unanticipated conflict, and Mr. Gilson had to cancel the deposition and the ENE to

return to his home state of Florida to prepare for Hurricane Wilma;

WHEREAS, since late October 2005, the parties have had earnest settlement discussions that

may obviate the need for any alternative dispute resolution, including an ENE; 

WHEREAS, because of the Parties’ schedules, including matters set for trial, the Parties and Mr.

Russo were unable to arrange an acceptable time to conduct the ENE prior to the January 31, 2006

deadline, despite diligent attempts to do so;

WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate rescheduling the ENE to February or March 2005 in the

event a settlement cannot be reached; 

WHEREAS, Mr. Russo has indicated he has no objection to scheduling the ENE in February or

March 2006;

WHEREAS, alternatively, because of the settlement posture of this matter, the Parties are

prepared to dispense with the ENE process, attend the currently scheduled Case Management

Conference on February 3, 2006 and obtain a trial date for sometime in the fall of 2006; 

THEREFORE, the Parties hereby jointly request that the new deadline for the completion of the

ENE be continued to March 31, 2006, and that the Case Management Conference be continued

accordingly, or;

ALTERNATIVELY, the parties hereby jointly request that the Court waive the Parties’ ENE

requirement and set the case for trial in the fall 2006 at the February 3, 2006 Case Management

Conference.
