ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION

Below is the proposed "7/7" and early termination language for the current =
CA contract push. Please review and provide me any feedback. This languag=
e is the same as what we used in late June, with the exception that the ter=
mination date is 8-27 at 1:00 pm. One concern I have that we need to work =
through: In June our termination date was after the CPUC meeting but befor=
e the date we believed DA would end. Recall that this changed upon the CPU=
C delay. Here, it sounds like 8-23 is both the date of the meeting and the=
date DA could end (in fact, it might even end as of some retroactive date)=
. Thus, we have some increased risk that a regulator could decide that our=
contract was not effective before the 23rd because of the termination righ=
t.=20

It is my understanding that we are pricing new CA deals off the master betw=
een now and 8-23, with the inclusion of this language. There is a list of =
about 10 prospects that Lamar will be circulating later today. =20

Please send me any comments or questions. MDS
