STIPULATION TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

Pursuant to Local Rules 7-12 and 16-2(d), the undersigned parties to the above-entitled

action hereby stipulate to the entry of an Order continuing the pretrial conference – now set for March

11, 2008 – by one week to March 18, 2008, as well as the related deadlines for the meet-and-confer

session of counsel and the filing of the proposed joint pretrial order.

As the Court was advised during the December 13, 2007 case management conference,

the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) has received offers of settlement

from defendants The Children’s Internet (“TCI”), Two Dog Net, Nasser Hamedani, Sholeh Hamedani

and Peter Perez (“Perez”). The staff has just learned that the Commission’s members have scheduled

their consideration of those settlement proposals for the week of February 25, 2008. If those proposals

are accepted, it will leave Cort Poyner (“Poyner”) as the only remaining defendant and would reduce the

number of claims and issues to be tried. That will, in turn, significantly reduce the length of the trial.

At the current time, the pretrial conference is set for March 11, 2008, which means that

the meet and confer session of counsel must take place by February 21, 2008 and the pretrial statement

(with related papers) must be filed on February 29, 2008. The parties are concerned that under those

deadlines, they must rush to submit papers – such as jury instructions and witness lists – that will not

truly inform the Court of the issues to be tried following the settlements and that will no longer be

germane. The parties therefore request a one-week extension of the pretrial conference and all related

deadlines so that the parties may be able to draft and submit papers to the Court that account for the

impact of the settlements. The parties are not asking for any change in the trial date.

To facilitate the preparation of pretrial papers in light of potential settlements, the parties

therefore propose that:

1. The pretrial conference be continued from March 11, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. to March

18, 2008 at 1:30 p.m.

2. The final date for the meet and confer session of counsel be continued from

February 21, 2008 to February 28, 2008.

3. The final date for submitting the proposed joint pretrial conference statement and

all related papers be continued from February 29, 2008 to March 7, 2008.
