George, there are a few typos in the second paragraph and it doesn’t read perfectly.  I am happy to sign but if you think we should make those edits before let me know.  At this point, making the edits and signing tomorrow isn’t a big deal but I defer to others.

Also, Marcelle’s email address is only listed as “@burnhamasset.com<http://burnhamasset.com>” and should be “[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>”

Should we make those edits to clean it up?

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 principals.

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.

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.

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.
