-titleAugust 5, 2014, an additional 120 days on December 8, 2014 and an additional 90 days in April 2015. 

In October 2014, Mr. Patel entered into a plea agreement in the criminal case. The agreement 

includes restitution and criminal penalties. Sentencing was originally scheduled for February 10, 2015. 

However, sentencing has now been continued to September 8, 2015. 

Additionally, the defendants and FTC staff have agreed to a proposed settlement in the instant 

case. The settlement must be approved by the Federal Trade Commission and if approved will be 

submitted to this Court for entry of stipulated judgment. In order to allow time for the FTC to review 

and approve the settlement, the parties jointly move to extend the stay of this case an additional 120 

days. Mr. Patel agrees that, during the pendency of the stay, he will not seek the release of assets 

frozen pursuant to the preliminary injunction. 

The requested stay is a stay of the entire civil action against all defendants including a stay of 

the pending motion for default judgment against defendants Broadway Global Master Inc. and InArabia Solutions Inc. The stay does not alter the preliminary injunction with asset freeze, which will 

remain in full effect. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
