STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING THE ADMISSION OF ICC ARBITRATION TESTIMONY AT TRIAL

Plaintiffs, Remark Enterprises LLC, US Cryotherapy Direct Sales LLC, and Defendants, Mecotec GmbH, and Mecotec Sales GmbH (collectively the "Parties"), by and through their attorneys of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

RECITALS

A. In or around February, 2016, Defendant Mecotec GmbH filed a request for arbitration with the International Court of Arbitration ("ICC") in Europe against Remark Enterprises LLC claiming a breach of an exclusive distribution agreement which is at issue in the present case.

B. On December 15, 2016, the Parties attended and took part in the ICC arbitration proceedings (the "Arbitration") held in Germany. Plaintiff Remark Enterprises LLC and Defendant Mecotec GmbH were represented by counsel at the Arbitration.

C. At the Arbitration, several witnesses testified, including a third party witness named Hanspeter Nitz. Mr. Nitz was subject to examination by counsel for Plaintiff Remark Enterprises LLC and Defendant Mecotec GmbH regarding the exclusive distribution agreement at issue in the present case.

D. The testimony given by Mr. Nitz relates to the issues to be decided at trial in the present case. However, due to illness, geographical distance, and this Court's lack of jurisdiction over Mr. Nitz, it is unlikely that Mr. Nitz will attend the trial in the present case.

E. As a result of the above, the Parties have agreed to admit the testimony of Mr. Nitz from the Arbitration, in its entirety, for use for any and all purposes at trial in the present case as set forth below.

F. The Parties stipulate to admit the Exclusive Distribution Agreement marked for purposes of the Arbitration as Claimant's Exhibit C-1 for use for any and all purposes at trial in the present case as set forth below.

G. The Parties further stipulate to admit the Letter of Intent marked for purposes of the Arbitration as Claimant's Exhibit C-8 for use for any and all purposes at trial in the present case as set forth below.

STIPULATION

1. The testimony of Hanspeter Nitz from the International Court of Arbitration Case No. 21620, dated December 15, 2016 (attached hereto as Exhibit A) shall be admitted for use for any and all purposes at trial in the present case (the "Stipulated Testimony").

2. The Exclusive Distribution Agreement marked for purposes of the Arbitration as C-1 and the Letter of Intent marked for purposes of the Arbitration as C-8 (the "Exhibits") shall be admitted for use for any and all purposes at trial in the present case.

3. This stipulation and agreement does not apply to any other exhibits marked at the Arbitration or to Mr. Nitz' "witness statement."

4. Any and all objections to the admissibility of the Stipulated Testimony for any purpose are hereby waived.

5. Any and all objections to the admissibility of the Exhibits for any purpose are hereby waived.

IT IS SO STIPULATED:

ORDER

Good cause appearing, the Stipulated Testimony and the Exhibits shall be admitted for use for any and all purposes at trial in the present case. The Parties have waived all objections to the admissibility of the Stipulated Testimony for any purpose. The Parties have waived all objections to the admissibility of the Exhibits for any purpose.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
