Plaintiff Arms Reach Concepts, Inc. (“Arms Reach”) and Defendant Summer Infant (USA),

Inc. (“Summer”), through their respective counsel of record, stipulate and agree as follows:

BACKGROUND

A. The hearing on Plaintiff’s order to show cause regarding preliminary injunction is set

for March 26, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. Defendant Summer’s opposition to Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application

for a temporary restraining order is due March 17, 2010.

B. Arms Reach and Summer wish to engage in good faith settlement negotiations in

order to resolve this dispute thus minimizing this Court’s resources.

STIPULATION

The parties agree that Summer has taken action to remove all objectionable use of the mark

CO-SLEEPER that is the subject of the Complaint [Dkt No. 1] and Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application

for a temporary restraining order [Dkt Nos. 2, 4] as follows:

1. Summer has removed or cooperated in removal by third parties of all use of the term

and mark “CO-SLEEPER” from the advertising of its Rest Assured Sleeper product

listed on the websites of Toys R Us, Babies R Us, and K Mart, as shown in Exhibits

A, B and C to the Complaint.

2. Summer states that it has no interest in using the term “co-sleeper” as a trademark or

product designation, and that the term “co-sleeper” has not been used on Summer

Infant’s web page for its Rest Assured Sleeper nor has it appeared on any packaging

for Summer’s sleeper products.

3. Summer agrees that it will not use the term “co-sleeper” in any of its product

advertising and/or packaging.

4. To the extent that any third parties use the mark CO-SLEEPER in connection with the

advertising, display or marketing of any of Summer’s products, upon notice from

Arms Reach, Summer shall use its best efforts to cause such third parties to cease any

and all such uses of the term and mark “CO-SLEEPER” or the similar term

“CO SLEEPER” with Summer’s products.

5. Summer’s actions as stated herein shall not be deemed or interpreted in any way as an

admission of liability that use of the term “Co-Sleeper” as shown on Exhibits A, B

and C to the Complaint creates a likelihood of consumer confusion.

The parties to this litigation request this Court vacate the hearing currently set for March 26,

2010 at 9:00 a.m. regarding Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application for a temporary restraining order.

The parties to this litigation also request this Court suspend this case up to and including May

1, 2010 to enable the parties to pursue good faith settlement discussions and the parties agree to

engage in such good faith settlement discussions during this suspension.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
