STIPULATION EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT 

WHEREAS, one related case is pending in federal court in California 

(Sharilyn B. Castro v. Vitamin Shoppe Industries, Inc., Case No. CV 07-0135-IEG, 

CA Southern Dist., Judge Irma Gonzalez), and two related cases are pending in 

federal court in New Jersey (Guittard et al. v. Vitamin Shoppe Industries, Inc.,

Case No. CV-07-1827, District of New Jersey, Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise; 

Klyachman v. The Vitamin Shoppe, et al., Case No. CV-07-1528, District of New 

Jersey, Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise) (collectively, the “Three Related Cases”); 

WHEREAS, following mediation on June 11, 2007 before Judge 

Edward Infante at JAMS's San Francisco offices, the parties in this case and the 

Three Related Cases reached an agreement in principle and are in the process of 

reducing the terms of their agreement to writing; 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that it is appropriate to extend the time 

to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint so as to allow them additional 

time to prepare and execute a written settlement agreement; 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to avoid the significant expense to 

them and burden to the Court of actively litigating this action while attempting to 

agree upon the terms of a written settlement document; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties as follows: 

1. The time to answer or move with respect to the claims asserted 

in the Complaint is hereby extended to and including July 20, 2007. 

2. Subject to the approval of the Court, the Case Management 

Conference currently scheduled for July 27, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. shall be 

rescheduled for August 17, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. or for such other date as the Court 

may order and the parties’ Case Management Conference Statements shall be 

submitted seven days prior to the conference. 

3. This Stipulation may be executed in counterparts. Signatures to 

this Stipulation made by a facsimile copy shall have the same force and effect as 

original signatures.
