PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL

Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel came on for hearing on April 3, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. John

Aspelin appeared for the Plaintiff, and Michael Lisi appeared for Defendants Peter Kiritchenko,

BRC Property Holding LLC, Brancross US Holdings Inc., Xanadu Property Holdings LLC, and

ABS Enterprises Inc. After full consideration of the papers and the arguments at the hearing, and for

good cause shown, the Court GRANTS IN PART Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel as follows:

1. Defendants are ordered to produce Mr. Peter Kiritchenko for five full days of

deposition, beginning April 18, 2007. During the five days, Mr. Kiritchenko will testify in his

individual capacity and as a 30(b)(6) witness for the corporate defendants, as determined by the

parties prior to each day or part thereof. Mr. Kiritchenko shall comply with the rules for deposition

and not make speaking objections or unduly delay his responses. If, at the close of five full days of

deposition, Plaintiff believes more time is required to depose the witness, the parties shall meet and

confer and attempt to agree. If they cannot agree, Plaintiff may apply to the Court for leave to

extend the five day time limit based on a showing of truly good cause.

2. Defendants are ordered to immediately request from the F.B.I. a copy of reports of

F.B.I. interviews of Mr. Peter Kiritchenko, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. §
