WHEREAS, the Court held a hearing on the PI Motion and Receiver Motion that began on
February 26, 2025, and was scheduled to resume the following day. Prior to resuming on February

document a tentative agreement that would resolve the PI Motion and the Receiver Motion. [ECF
Nos. 79, 80];
WHEREAS, pursuant to the agreement to resolve these Motions, the parties submitted a

2

stipulated motion for appointment of a monitor. [ECF No. 94];
WHEREAS, each party waives and agrees not to make any argument that this Order shall
have any impact on the venue of this matter or whether this Court is a convenient forum, and this
Order shall not be cited in any motion to transfer venue (e.g., 28 U.S.C. § 1404) or to move the
forum of this litigation based upon forum non-conveniens; and
WHEREAS,  pursuant  to  that  agreement,  all  Defendants  and  Relief  Defendants  have
stipulated to this Order and expressly waived any right to any hearing on this Order pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 65, waived any findings of fact and conclusions of law, and waived any right to
appeal, if any, from this Order.
