Agreed.  I talked to Andrew three hours ago and he was taking direction
from his attorneys so if they are good with it he will be good with it.  I
think.

Hunter, I'll get your signature on this.

Hunt and Eric - I recommend that you sign the clean copy and return to me
before your trip and I will hold in escrow until Burnham confirms with the

Please let me know if you are ok with this.

Nick and Peter,

Thank you.  I just attempted to call you.  In the attached, we accepted
most of the proposed changes but added back in a sentence stating that, if
there is a press inquiry, the Rosemont Parties can respond with truthful
factual information.  Call me if you would like to discuss this at
612.766.7559.  Also, please note, we are still awaiting final client
approval, but we believe we are close.

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,

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:

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,

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.
