STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING PAYMENT OF $219,161.00 BY ANDINA LICORES, S.A.

PALDMS/342345.1

WHEREAS, the Order of Final Judgment also provides for other rulings, relief and remedies

in favor of Gallo, including, but not limited to, a declaratory judgment and a permanent injunction,

as set forth in the Order of Final Judgment at pages 7-9 at ¶¶ 2 and 3.

WHEREAS, Gallo has been awarded costs on appeal in the amount of $727.00, plus interest

since June 7, 2006 which award has not yet been paid.

WHEREAS, Gallo has filed an Memorandum of Cost seeking recovery of costs under 28

U.S.C. § 1920 and FED. R. CIV. P. 54 in the amount of $43,269.90 and the Court has yet to issue and

file its order awarding costs.

WHEREAS, Gallo contends it is entitled to the recovery of fees and sanctions against

Andina and in this regard on December 1, 2006 filed a motion for contempt and attorney fees

against Andina (the “Andina Attorney Fees Motion”), which motion is still pending before the

Court.

WHEREAS, Gallo contends it is entitled to contempt sanctions against certain individuals

for violation of the preliminary injunction entered by this Court in May, 2006 and in this regard on

December 1, 2006 filed a motion for contempt sanctions against such individuals (the “Individual

Contemnor Motion”), which motion is still pending before the Court.

WHEREAS, on or about March 16, 2007 counsel for Andina sent a check, Check No. 1002,

to counsel for Gallo in the amount of $219,161.00 (“Check No. 1002”), which check contained the

notation “GALLO v. ANDINA – FULL AND FINAL PAYMENT”.

WHEREAS, Andina and its counsel intended such payment solely to be in satisfaction of

Andina’s obligation under Order of Final Judgment at page 7, ¶ 1 (lines 3-4) to pay Gallo the sum of

$217,746.43 with post-judgment interest thereon at the rate of 4.94 percent as provided by 28 U.S.C.

2. If the conditions set forth in ¶ 1., above are satisfied and upon receipt by Gallo of the

full its obligation to pay to Gallo the amount $217,746.43 with post-judgment interest thereon at the

rate of 4.94 percent as provided by 28 U.S. C. § 1961 set forth in the Order of Final Judgment at

page 7, ¶ 1 (lines 3-4); however, such shall not and does not satisfy, extinguish, waive or lead to the

relinquishment of any other rights of Gallo, be they under the Court’s preliminary injunction, the

Order of Final Judgment, or otherwise, including (but not limited to) Gallo’s ability or rights to

recover its costs, costs on appeal, attorneys’ fees (whether under the Andina Attorney Fees Motion

or otherwise), sanctions (whether under the Individual Contemnor Motion or otherwise), and/or

rights under or to enforce the declaratory judgment and/or permanent injunction set forth in the

Order of Final Judgment at pages 7-9 at ¶¶ 2 and 3. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED this 20th day of April, 2007.
