2. The Complaint in this action was filed and summonses were issued against the

named Defendants on June 29, 2006.

3. Plaintiff maintains that it served Defendants on July 13, 2006 at the

corporation's address obtained from the Secretary of State. Proofs of service of the Summons and

Complaint were filed with the Court on July 24, 2006 and July 25, 2006. Defendants' answer was

due August 2, 2006. Since an answer had not been filed, Plaintiff filed a request for entry of default

and said default was entered by the Clerk of the Court on August 2, 2006.

4. Defendants maintain that the 205 DeAnza Boulevard address is a contract

mail service. Defendants maintain that they did not receive the Summons and Complaint, and that

no notice of delivery of any such documents was left in the mailbox for Repro Media as is the

practice where documents are left at the front desk.

5. Defendants maintain that they had no notice of this action until they received

the Plaintiffs request for entry of default on or about August 7, 2006.

6. Defendants wish to answer the Complaint and to assert affirmative defenses to

the claims alleged by Plaintiff.

Therefore, Plaintiff and Defendants, through their respective counsel, stipulate and

agree as follows:

1. The Clerk's Notice of Entry of Default as to all Defendants, filed on August 9,

2006, shall be vacated.

2. Defendants shall have 20 days to file an answer or otherwise respond to the

Complaint.
