WHEREAS, on February 1, 2008, Plaintiff KNOLL, INC. ("Knoll") filed suit for trademark 

infringement, unfair competition and related claims against, Defendants DANRICK COMMERCE 

GROUP, LLC a/k/a MODERNCOLLECTIONS.COM ("Danrick "), and DANNY LOUIE 

("Louie"). 

WHEREAS, after obtaining a 15-day stipulated extension of time to respond to the 

Complaint, on March 12, 2008, Danrick and Louie (collectively "Defendants") filed their Answer to 

Knoll's Complaint and Danrick filed its Counterclaims against Knoll. 

WHEREAS, Knoll's response to the Counterclaims is currently due on April 1, 2008. 

WHEREAS, in light of the challenge to the validity of the Knoll trademarks asserted by the 

plaintiff in another related Action, entitled Alphaville Design, Inc., vs. Knoll, Inc., Case No. 07-CV05569 MHP, the parties are negotiating a stipulation and proposed order to stay this Action. 

WHEREAS, Knoll and Danrick agree that the time for Knoll to respond to the 

Counterclaims should be continued to help facilitate these negotiations and is in the interests of 

judicial economy and conserving the resources of the parties. 

WHEREAS, this is the first extension sought in relation to the Counterclaims, this extension 

is not for the purpose of delay, and the parties believe that this extension of time will not affect any 

dates that have been set by the Court. 

ACCORDINGLY, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, HEREBY 

STIPULATE that Knoll's response to the Counterclaims filed by Danrick, which was originally due 

on April 1, 2008, may be filed and served up to and including May 1, 2008. 

Dated: March 31, 2008 SHEPPARD, MULLIN, RICHTER & HAMPTON LLP
