Except that, if otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulations, Vestey may (i) seek certification pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1610(c) that a reasonable period of time has elapsed to allow enforcement of the judgment, so long as such certification is sought at least 6 months after the date of this judgment, and (ii) register the judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 1963 at least 6 months after the date of this judgment.

7. Vestey shall not knowingly transfer or assign the Awards or this judgment to any Sanctioned Party in violation of any OFAC sanctions regulations; and Vestey and any of its successors or assigns, and anyone acting on its behalf, including its officers, agents, servants, employees, trustees, beneficial owners, and attorneys, and all persons and organizations acting in concert with any of them, shall be bound by the terms of this Stipulated Order for Judgment dated December 22, 2020.

4. Vestey shall not attempt to execute the Awards, or this Court’s judgment confirming, recognizing and enforcing the Awards, (including by perfecting any lien created by the judgment) against any of Venezuela’s assets in the United States or the United Kingdom until the earlier of (a) 18 months from the date of the judgment, or (b) Vestey’s being permitted to execute the Awards or this Court’s judgment, or not being prohibited from executing the Awards or this Court’s judgment, under any sanctions regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, whichever occurs first.
