Ok - I am not going to over sell this because I don't disagree with you.  I think John understands that he is going to have to do work.  We'll see how it plays out.  Not a precedent for the future with John or others.

I'm certain he understands infrastructure projects as much as any 28 year old can- my point is that he better be more than a little helpful. Again for 30% of the take he better do at least 50% of the work. And I'd we are giving away 50% of the upside we should be doing very little of any of te work.  We wouldn't make this deal with Devon let alone outsiders.  I'll donut but I think regardless of our success it is a bad way for us to do business in the long run.  As for Jay if do it as a success fee only deal.
