Winston & Strawn LLP 

333 South Grand Avenue 

Los Angeles, CA 90071-1543 

Plaintiff Qwest Communications Corporation ("Plaintiff") and defendants Herakles, 

LLC, Sandy Beaches I LP, Riptide I LLP, Capital Lease Funding, Inc. and Capital Lease Funding 

LP (collectively, "Defendants") (collectively, with Plaintiff, the "Parties") hereby agree and stipulate 

as follows: 

RECITALS

1. Qwest filed its complaint ("Complaint") on February 27, 2007, and 

Defendants' counsel waived service of process of the Complaint on February 28, 2007. 

2. Defendants and Plaintiff agreed that Defendants would respond to the 

Complaint by April 10, 2007. 

3. Defendants filed four separate motions to dismiss (the "Motions") for failure 

to state a claim, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on April 10, 2007, 

and noticed such Motions for hearing on May 18, 2007. 

4. Plaintiff's counsel is unavailable on May 18, 2007, and the Parties therefore 

previously agreed to continue the hearing date to June 14, 2007, with a briefing schedule based on 

that time frame. 

5. The Court is not available on June 14, 2007, and based on the Court's and the 

parties' availability, the earliest time the hearings will be able to proceed is September 14, 2006. 

6. The Parties anticipate that the hearings on the Motions will take 

approximately one and a half hours. 

Based on the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 

STIPULATION

1. The hearing for each of the Motions shall be continued to September 14, 

2007, at 9:00 a.m. Should an earlier date become available on the Court's calendar that also is 

mutually convenient for each of the parties, the parties would appreciate the opportunity to proceed 

with the hearing on such earlier date. 

2. Plaintiff's opposition briefs in response to the Motions shall be filed and 

served by no later than May 8, 2007.

no later than June 1, 2007. 

4. The Parties shall serve upon each other electronic copies of each of the 

above-referenced briefs on the same date that such briefs are filed.
