However, immediately after the holidays, an unavoidable and
important business conflict arose for Jorgen Moller, Snap Lock’s CEO, who has submitted two
declarations supporting Snap Lock’s Motion.2 Mr. Moller will be out of the country attending to
critical business on the dates to which the parties had previously agreed. Swisstrax’s counsel has
indicated that it expects to cross-examine Mr. Moller at the evidentiary hearing, and would prefer
to have the evidentiary hearing when all of the parties are available. However, Snap Lock has a
2-3 week jury trial in Nashville, Tennessee that will have Snap Lock’s lead trial counsel (Brett L.
Foster and Tamara Kapaloski) in Nashville from mid-February through the first week of March.

prefer to avoid either Monday (March 12th and 19th) to enable them to have witnesses travel and
prepare for the evidentiary hearing.
