Hi George,
Further to our conversation, while Burnham Asset Management (BAM) disagrees with certain statements contained in your correspondence of yesterday and denies any liability to the Rosemont Parties, BAM would like to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.  We will follow with you as soon as possible tomorrow on this.  We are trying to turn this as quickly as possible.
Best regards,
Peter

George,
I am confirming that this time works for my bankruptcy colleague (and perhaps also a litigator) and will let you know as soon as I have confirmation.

Nick:

We are available at 9 am central time on Tuesday morning. Jane Maschka, who is leading the litigation in the event that our efforts to resolve this matter fail, will be joining the call too.

I think it's easier if we use a dial in:

877 636 9498

Thank you and please confirm your availability.

Hi George,
I have been in touch with Hodgson Russ bankruptcy counsel on this. Are you available for a call tomorrow to discuss? If so, please let me know a good time and I can give you a call. I have another call at 2pm eastern, but otherwise I am available.

Best,
Nick

Nick,

We would like to resolve this matter consensually, as our efforts to date reflect. To that end, can you and bankruptcy counsel please be available as soon as possible this weekend for a call to discuss the bases of Burnham's refusal to sign the settlement agreement? And hopefully we can draft around the concern to give your client comfort. I am available anytime this weekend by email or by cell phone (below).  But I must underscore the need to resolve this matter before next week.

Thank you.

George
