Copies of the registration certificates for the Pony Trademarks are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
10.

The foregoing registrations of the PONY Trademarks are valid, subsisting and are

in full force and effect.

11.

The following registrations of the PONY Trademarks have become incontestable

under 15 U.S.C. 1065: 1,286,085; 2,899,929; 1,286,086; 1,193,225; 2,899,930; 1,224,322;


2,666,380; 2,668,890; 2,666,379; and 1,040,116.

12.

The PONY Trademarks have long been used by PONY and its licensees in

connection with the manufacture and distribution of various types of products and services,

including but not limited to footwear and apparel, throughout the United States.

13.

As a result of PONY's and its licensees' exclusive and extensive use and

promotion, the PONY Trademarks have acquired enormous value and recognition in the United
States and throughout the world. The PONY Trademarks are well-known to the consuming

public and trade as identifying and distinguishing PONY and its licensees exclusively and

uniquely as the source and origin of the high quality merchandise to which they are applied.

1888154vl

DEFENDANTS' WRONGFUL ACTS

14.

Wiesner, without the consent of PONY, has manufactured, advertised, distributed,

offered for sale and/or sold in interstate commerce, socks bearing counterfeits and infringements
of the PONY Trademarks.

15.

Haddad, without the consent of PONY, has advertised, distributed, offered for

sale and/or sold in interstate commerce, socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the
PONY Trademarks.

16.

L&S, the exclusive licensee of the PONY Trademarks, as of June 13, 2013, has

had the exclusive right to use the marks in commerce, and has never authorized or consented to

Defendants' use of the PONY Trademarks or any reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable
imitation thereof.

17.

Wiesner was a former licensee for PONY.

18.

Wiesner's license to manufacture and distribute products bearing the PONY

Trademarks expired as of December 31, 2012.

19.

Pursuant to an agreement with PONY, Wiesner was given until May 31, 2013 to

sell-off any inventory in its possession as of December 31, 2012.

20.

After the expiration of its license with PONY, Wiesner ordered and caused to be

manufactured socks bearing the PONY Trademarks. These socks bore counterfeits and
infringements of the PONY Trademarks. Wiesner then advertised, distributed, offered for sale

and/or sold in interstate commerce the socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the
PONY Trademarks.

11888154vl

21.

Additionally, prior to the expiration of its license with PONY, Wiesner ordered

socks bearing the PONY Trademarks, but did not receive those socks - and knew that it would

not receive those socks - until after the expiration of the license agreement. Those socks were
not in Wiesner's inventory as of December 31, 2012 and was not within the purview of the
permitted sell-off. Those socks bore counterfeits and infringements of the PONY Trademarks.
Wiesner then advertised, distributed, offered for sale and/or sold in interstate commerce the

socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the PONY Trademarks.

22.

Wiesner sold the socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the PONY

Trademarks to Haddad, among others.

23.

Haddad re-sold the socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the PONY

Trademarks to Duane Reade and others.

24.

Socks bearing counterfeits and infringements of the PONY Trademarks have been

advertised, distributed, offered for sale and/or sold at Duane Reade's New York retail stores as

recently as July 2014.

25.

The acts of Defendants in manufacturing, advertising, distributing, offering for

sale and/or selling in interstate commerce goods bearing infringements and counterfeits of the

PONY Trademarks (a) are likely to cause confusion and mistake among the consuming public

that such goods originate with PONY and/or L&S, (b) are likely to cause confusion and mistake
among the consuming public that there is some affiliation, connection or association of

Defendants with PONY and/or L&S, and (c) are likely to cause confusion and mistake among
the consuming public that such goods are being offered to the consuming public with the
sponsorship or approval of PONY and/or L&S.

11888154vl

26.

Defendants manufactured, advertised, distributed, offered for sale and/or sold

such goods knowing that the goods bore infringements and counterfeits of the PONY
Trademarks, or willfully ignored whether the goods bore infringements and counterfeits of the
PONY Trademarks. Defendants engaged in a deliberate effort to cause confusion and mistake

among the consuming public as to the source, affiliation and/or sponsorship of said goods, and to
