ORDER RE BENWORTHS’ MOTION TO STAY.
ORDER NO. 7

On September 13, 2023, Benworth filed a Motion to Stay these proceedings pending the completion
of an investigation being conducted by the SBA into the activities of Womply during the PPP loan program.
The motion attached an email from Eric S. Benderson, an Associate General Counsel for Litigation with the
Small Business Administration, concerning the investigation. Womply filed an Opposition to the Motion on
September 14, 2023. On September 25, 2023, Benworth filed a Reply to Womply’s Opposition. A Hearing
was conducted on September 26, 2023, at which the Parties presented oral argument in support of their
respective positions.

Having fully considered the positions of the Parties, the Motion is DENIED without prejudice. The
information contained in Mr. Benderson’s email was somewhat vague and general and did not provide
sufficient information to determine the extent to which the SBA investigation overlaps or bears upon the
issues raised in this Arbitration. Should the SBA provide further information or clarification concerning its
investigation that would warrant a renewal of the Motion to Stay, Benworth is free to do so.

This Order will also confirm that the Arbitrator advised the Parties that due to some lingering health
issues he does not anticipate issuing an Interim Award before November 1, 2023.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
