Rob, Jordan and I have been considering this from a legal relationships perspective and request your thoughts on same. Tobias Munk of DealBench has been working on developing this DealBench/Freshfields relationship for a couple of months. Tobias came to DealBench from Enron London to help develop a capability to do due diligence on the DealBench platform (the dataroom product). He initiated contact with Freshfields (Hugh Crisp) before moving to Houston. DealBench has been aware that this relationship would be subject to approval by Enron legal management. The proposed relationship essentially is a business referral one: DealBench would pay Freshfields 10% of site license fees paid to DealBench by customers referred by Freshfields. Freshfields also would provide up to 100 hours of consulting services regarding the dataroom product for no additional monetary consideration but DealBench would give Freshfields exclusive recognition for helping DealBench develop the dataroom product in Europe and Asia. DealBench advises that Freshfields believes it would benefit from the publicity associated with being part of the development of an e-commerce product. The DealBench commercial team is very interested in moving forward with Freshfields. Although Freshfields cannot guarantee any referrals, DealBench believes the relationship would be fruitful for it commercially because of Freshfields' prominence in M&A transactions in Europe and Asia. Before DealBench moves further with Freshfields, it would like legal clearance. We look forward to hearing from you. Regards, NJD Nora J.
