(B) an appeal from the foreign judgment will be taken; or
(C) a stay of execution of the foreign judgment has been granted; and
(2) that the judgment debtor has furnished the security, if any, for the judgment required under the jurisdiction in which the foreign judgment was rendered;
the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the stay of execution expires or is vacated.
