RE: negative covenants in merger agreement

I will try calling you in a little while. I had asked Joe Henry to give you a call; and thought you were already talking with him about these types of matters. Peter del Vecchio is also available. Thanks. Lance.

Mark,
re. the above, we are working on a significant number of divestments (very important transactions for cashflow reasons totalling potentially over 500MM US) in Europe that are likely triggers; I urgently need to address this with you guys - Michael Brown wants me to sort out a waiver letter / procedure before the weekend. Can't get a hold of Lance. Could you or Lance give me a shout this morning.

Thanks, Marcus
