JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO AMEND THE CASE SCHEDULE

CHI 56851320v1 11/6/2007

Plaintiffs Rearden LLC, Rearden Productions, LLC, Rearden Studios, LLC, Rearden,

Inc., and Rearden Properties, LLC (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Rearden Commerce,

Inc. (“Defendant”) jointly request the Court to amend the case schedule to provide additional

time to complete fact and expert discovery, while maintaining the previously set trial date. In

support of this Stipulation, Plaintiffs and Defendant state as follows:

1. The Court entered on May 11, 2007, the Pretrial Order setting forth a schedule

pursuant to which the trial date is set for June 16, 2008 and the pretrial conference date is set for

June 10, 2008. (Docket No. 38.) Pursuant to the Pretrial Order, the fact discovery cutoff is

November 30, 2007, and the expert discovery cutoff is January 25, 2008. (Id.)

2. The parties conducted a single day mediation session on June 6, 2007. (Docket

No. 41.)

3. The Court entered on August 24, 2007, a Protective Order for confidential

information. (Docket No. 70.)

4. The parties have been engaged in discovery, including producing non-confidential

and confidential documents, propounding and responding to written discovery (including

subpoenas for documents and depositions to third parties), and noticing depositions.

5. The parties are now in the initial stages of scheduling fact depositions, including

third party fact depositions. Based on the number of depositions and the schedules of everyone

involved, most importantly the witnesses, as well as the parties’ need to supplement their

discovery responses, including production of additional documents and supplemental written

discovery responses, the parties respectfully request that the Pretrial Order be amended to allow

for additional time to complete fact and expert discovery. Attached to this Stipulation as Exhibit

A is a chart setting forth the existing dates from the Pretrial Order and the parties’ proposed

amended dates. As this chart shows, the parties are not requesting any change to the trial date

and the pretrial conference date, or any of the dates that are related to those dates.

6. In addition to the dates set forth in Exhibit A, the parties have agreed to not serve

any additional written discovery or third-party discovery after November 14, 2007, so that such

discovery can be responded to without the need to further amend the case schedule. The parties

are not requesting any amendment to the discovery limits set forth in the original Pretrial Order.

7. The parties have also agreed that the mere fact of Plaintiffs’ entering into this

Stipulation and approaching the Court for this extension shall not be used as an admission

against Plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief. The parties’ agreement does not however prevent

Defendant from raising Plaintiffs’ other actions or inactions related to the case.

Pretrial Order adopting the following schedule:

a. Trial Date: June 16, 2008;

b. Trial Length is estimated to be 4-5 days and a jury has been requested by

the parties;

c. Pretrial Conference Date: June 10, 2008;

e. Designation of Experts: January 11, 2008;

i. Expert Discovery Cutoff: March 7, 2008;
