IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by plaintiffs and counterdefendants, 

PERNOD RICARD MEXICO, S.A. de C.V. and PERNOD RICARD USA, LLC, and defendant 

and counterclaimant, TEQUILA TAZON, INC., each acting through their undersigned counsel, 

that: 

1. On August 28, 2007, the Court entered an Order based upon the Stipulation of 

plaintiffs and counterdefendants, PERNOD RICARD MEXICO, S.A. de C.V. and PERNOD 

RICARD USA, LLC, and defendant and counterclaimant, TEQUILA TAZON, INC., that (i) the 

time for satisfaction of the ADR requirement in this case be extended to and through October 10, 

2007; and (ii) the Case Management Conference, then calendared for Friday, August 31, 2007 at 

10:00 a.m., be continued and re-calendared to Friday, October 19, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. 

2. A mediation was calendared for September 26, 2007 before the mediator, James 

Gilliland, Esq., that was based upon the referral to mediation by the Court in its Minute Order 

dated May 25, 2007. 

3. In advance of such mediation on September 26, 2007, the parties, alone and 

subsequently with input from the mediator, commenced exploratory discussions concerning a 

settlement of the case prior to a mediation occurring. Such discussions are continuing, and, for 

that reason, the mediation calendared for September 26, 2007 was postponed. 

4. The parties to the mediation and the mediator have now preliminarily concurred 

on the dates of November 7, 8, 9, 14, or 16, 2007 for either re-calendaring the mediation or 

seeking the mediator’s services in connection with ongoing settlement discussions. Such dates 

are the first available dates on the mediator’s calendar for him to participate. 

5. Following the May 25, 2007 referral by the Court of this case to mediation, the 

time for satisfaction of ADR in this case will extend beyond the ninety (90) day requirement set 

forth in ADR Local Rule 6-4(b). 

6. The parties to the mediation and their respective counsel believe that an 

enlargement of time for satisfaction of ADR in this case to and through November 28, 2007 will 

permit those parties and the mediator to commence and work at efforts to reach a settlement of

the case, or, in the alternative, for such parties to prepare for and appear at a continued and recalendared Case Management Conference, as set forth below. 

7. In light of the November 2007 dates upon which the mediator is available, the 

parties to the mediation and their respective counsel request that the Case Management 

Conference, which is now calendared for October 19, 2007 at 10:00 a.m., be continued and recalendared to December 7, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. with the parties to submit to the Court a Joint Case 

Management Statement on or before November 30, 2007.
