STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO 

GRAHAM ARCHIVES LLC, d/b/a 

WOLFGANG'S VAULT, a limited liability 

company, 

Defendants. 

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties through their respective 

counsel that plaintiffs and counterclaim defendants GRATEFUL DEAD PRODUCTIONS, 

CADESTANSA LLC, a limited liability company on behalf of CARLOS SANTANA, JIMMY 

PAGE, ROBERT PLANT, JOHN PAUL JONES, RAYMOND MANZAREK, ROBBY KRIEGER, 

JOHN DENSMORE, PEARL COURSON, GEORGE MORRISON, FANTALITY CORP., SONY 

BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, BMG MUSIC, and ARISTA RECORDS shall have a first 

extension of time of 30 days, up to and including April 11, 2007, to answer, move, or otherwise 

respond to the Counterclaims filed by defendants WILLIAM E. SAGAN, NORTON LLC, and BILL 

GRAHAM ARCHIVES LLC, d/b/a WOLFGANG’S VAULT. 

 IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that putative counterclaim defendants 

ROBERT WEIR, WARNER MUSIC GROUP CORP., and RHINO ENTERTAINMENT shall have 

a first extension of time of 30 days, up to and including April 11, 2007, to answer, move, or 

otherwise respond to the Counterclaims filed by defendants WILLIAM E. SAGAN, NORTON LLC, 

and BILL GRAHAM ARCHIVES LLC, d/b/a WOLFGANG’S VAULT. 

 There is good cause to extend the time by which the plaintiffs/counterclaim defendants and 

putative counterclaim defendants must move, answer, or otherwise respond to defendants’ 

counterclaims. Counterclaimants have made numerous factual allegations and have asserted eight 

counterclaims against plaintiffs/counterclaim defendants and putative counterclaim defendants, which 

allegations and counterclaims plaintiffs/counterclaim defendants and putative counterclaim 

defendants require additional time to evaluate. Additionally, plaintiffs/counterclaim defendants 

previously stipulated to a 30-day extension of time to allow defendants/counterclaimants to respond

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO 

to plaintiffs’ complaint, which stipulation this Court approved on January 10, 2007. Finally, the 30-

day extension of time requested in the present Stipulation will have no effect on the schedule for this 

case. 

 Plaintiffs/counterclaim defendants and putative counterclaim defendants have not requested a 

prior extension of time to respond to defendants’ counterclaims.
