ORDER ON SECOND AMENDMENT TO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

The official records of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (Board) reflect that ANC 5E, Bates Area Civic Association, Inc., and a previous holder of a Retailer's Class A license for the premises located at 1627 1st Street, NW, Washington, D.C., entered into a Settlement Agreement (Agreement), dated July 17, 2012, and an Amendment to Settlement Agreement (Amendment), dated May 15, 2013. T Jiya Sohal Corporation, t/a Sunset Wine & Spirit (Licensee), as the subsequent and current holder of that license is

1

required to comply with the terms of the Agreement, because it governs the operations of the Licensee's establishment.

This matter comes now before the Board to consider the Parties' Second Amendment to Settlement Agreement (Second Amendment), dated February 19, 2019, in accordance with D.C. Official Code§ 25-446 (2001).

The Second Amendment has been reduced to writing and has been properly executed and filed with the Board. The Licensee; Commissioners Bradley A. Thomas and Karla M. Lewis, on behalf of ANC SE; and Kyle Thomas, on behalf of Bates Area Civic Association, Inc.; are signatories to the Second Amendment.

Accordingly, it is this 6th day of March, 2019, ORDERED that:

1. The above-referenced Second Amendment to Settlement Agreement submitted by the Parties to govern the operations of the Licensee's establishment is APPROVED and INCORPORATED as part of this Order;

2. All terms and conditions of the original Settlement Agreement and Amendment to Settlement Agreement not amended by the Second Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect; and

3. Copies of this Order shall be sent to the Licensee, ANC SE, and Bates Area Civic Association, Inc.
