WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court enter an order, substantially
in the form of the proposed order attached hereto as Exhibit A, vacating the January 7, 2022
hearing on Chain Bridge’s Motion.

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT
1.
Chain Bridge filed its Motion on October 28, 2021, seeking a determination by this
Court of the amount of indemnified fees and expenses (incurred through September 30, 2021) to
be awarded pursuant to the Court’s September 23, 2021 Order (Dkt. No. 176) granting summary
judgment in Chain Bridge’s favor on its third-party claim for indemnification from JPMC.  On
November 3, 2021, Chain Bridge filed a notice of hearing date requesting that a hearing on the
Motion be set for January 7, 2022.  See Dkt. 198.  The Court thereafter set the hearing on the
Motion for that date.
2.
Since the filing of Chain Bridge’s Motion, Chain Bridge and JPMC have continued
to negotiate in an effort to resolve the issues presented for decision by Chain Bridge’s Motion.
Chain Bridge and JPMC have now reached an agreement in principle to resolve those issues.
Although the parties’ agreement in principle remains subject to definitive documentation, the
parties anticipate reaching a final agreement and therefore believe that a decision by this Court is
unlikely to be necessary.
3.
The parties respectfully submit that, in light of their agreement in principle to
resolve the issues presented for decision by Chain Bridge’s Motion, good cause exists to vacate
the hearing on the Motion scheduled for January 7, 2022.  A proposed order reflecting the
requested relief is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
