Arbitration Agreement:
We, the signed below acknowledge that we accepted upon ourselves the following
Rabbis
Rabbi Menachem Zecharye Zilber, Chief of the Rabbinical Court
Rabbi Abraham Gross,
Rabbi Baruch Arye Leibish Rubin,
The Rabbinical Court of the Central Rabbinical Congress of the USA and Canada
To adjudicate all disputes between us and the arguments and claims we have against each
other, either
as a Din {Jewish law} oras a settlement, as their opinion suggests
and as
they see fit. And we hereby commit ourselves to comply with whatever will be issued by
them, without any appeal either before any other rabbinical court, or before secular
courts.
The validity of this agreement is in the most effective manner according to the laws of
our holy Torah, which is also effective according to state law. The validity of this
arbitration agreement is for an unlimited time.
In the event one of us signed herein will evade from appearing before the Rabbinical
Court to complete the arguments, this Rabbinical Court has the right to issue a Rabbinical
Court Ruling as it sees fit. Should one of the Rabbinical Court recuse himself from
serving on the Rabbinical Court for whatever reason, the two remaining Rabbinical Court
members may add a third Rabbinical Judge as they wish.
All of this was entered into through a complete Agav Suder binding procedure, performed
with an object that is appropriate for binding purposes, by annulling all preemptive
declarations, neither as a simple assurance nor is it boilerplate language. It is all
confirmed and established.
On this we affixed our signatures, today, Tuesday Nusoi I, 3 Sivan 5783 {calendar date:

within a certain time, the funds will be held by the defendants
under terms of Isske", a Rabbinical Court Ruling is hereby issued that due to the
Isske, the defendants are required to pay the plaintiffs the sum of $266,666.
In addition to the aforementioned obligation, the defendants are required to pay

transferring the partnership asset onto their name, and the defendants may deduct
from it the sum of $75,000 the defendants paid their broker at the beginning of
buying the property for the partnership.
In the event a dispute arises between the parties either on interpretation
of this
Rabbinical Court Ruling, or another dispute related the aforementioned claims
and demands, the parties shall retum to the Rabbinical Court for how to proceed.
Besides this, they have no claims and argument
against each other; may they all settle
peacefully.

By the Grace of G-d Arbitration Agreement: We, the signed below acknowledge that we accepted upon ourselves the following Rabbis Rabbi Menachem Zecharye Zilber, Chief of the Rabbinical Court Rabbi Abraham Gross, Rabbi Baruch Arye Leibish Rubin, The Rabbinical Court of the Central Rabbinical Congress of the USA and Canada To adjudicate all disputes between us and the arguments and claims we have against each other, either as a Din {Jewish law} oras a settlement, as their opinion suggests and as they see fit. And we hereby commit ourselves to comply with whatever will be issued by them, without any appeal either before any other rabbinical court, or before secular courts. The validity of this agreement is in the most effective manner according to the laws of our holy Torah, which is also effective according to state law. The validity of this arbitration agreement is for an unlimited time. In the event one of us signed herein will evade from appearing before the Rabbinical Court to complete the arguments, this Rabbinical Court has the right to issue a Rabbinical Court Ruling as it sees fit. Should one of the Rabbinical Court recuse himself from serving on the Rabbinical Court for whatever reason, the two remaining Rabbinical Court members may add a third Rabbinical Judge as they wish. All of this was entered into through a complete Agav Suder binding procedure, performed with an object that is appropriate for binding purposes, by annulling all preemptive declarations, neither as a simple assurance nor is it boilerplate language. It is all confirmed and established. On this we affixed our signatures, today, Tuesday Nusoi I, 3 Sivan 5783 {calendar date: May 23, 2023}, hereI Brooklyn, New York.
