STIPULATION AND ORDER 

PALDMS/362073.1 

Award was procured in violation of the Federal Arbitration Act and the Convention on the 

Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958. 

WHEREAS the ICC Arbitration Proceeding has not been completed and one or more further 

awards may be rendered in it. 

WHEREAS on January 31, 2008 Petitioner filed an ex parte application, or in the alternative, 

motion for administrative relief (“ex parte application”), for an order to, among other thing, schedule 

a hearing date on the Petition. 

WHEREAS Respondent was personally served with the Petition on February 7, 2008. 

WHEREAS the Court issued an Order on February 14, 2008 granting Petitioner’s ex parte 

application and scheduled a hearing date on the Petition for March 24, 2008. 

WHEREAS Respondent has only recently retained United States counsel and therefore has 

requested that the March 24 hearing date be continued and has requested additional time to respond 

to the Petition. 

WHEREAS Petitioner is willing to stipulate to continuing the hearing date on the conditions 

that (i) Respondent takes no steps to enforce the November 9 Award or any other award, order or 

mandate that is made in the ICC Arbitration Proceeding whether by the Arbitrator, or ICC, or 

otherwise; and (ii) Respondent stipulates and agrees that nothing in this stipulation or the 

negotiations which led to it will be used, relied on or implied to argue that Petitioner has waived or 

relinquished any argument or position which is asserted in, or the subject of, the Petition. 

IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVE, PETITIONER AND RESPONDENT, THROUGH THEIR 

RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS, STIPULATE TO THE FOLLOWING: 

1. Respondent will take no steps in any manner or in any forum or any jurisdiction 

(whether the United States or otherwise) to enforce the November 9 Award or any other award that 

is, has been, or will be rendered in the ICC Arbitration Proceeding until after this Court has ruled on 

the Petition. 

2. The March 24, 2008 hearing on the Petition may be continued to June 2, 2008, or to 

the first date thereafter that is available to the Court. 

3. Subject to paragraph 1, above, Respondent shall have up to and including April 28,
