       The Court requests supplemental briefing addressing:

           (i) whether the language of exclusion of warranties in the Commercial Treadmill
               Warranty in Schedule 3.1.17(a)(i) of the Asset Purchase Agreement is effective to
               exclude the implied warranty of merchantability under applicable law;

           (ii) whether and, if so, how the applicable enactment of either section 2-316(2) or
                section 2-316(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code controls this question; and

           (iii) under what jurisdiction’s enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code—
                 Wisconsin’s, Texas’s, or another’s—these questions should be answered.

        The parties’ briefing, if any, is due by Friday, February 15, 2019. The previously noticed
submission date of February 5, 2019, is withdrawn. The appeal will be reset for submission at a
