I have since spoken with John Arnold and Joe Deffner regarding the matter.

Per John: He sees some value in utilizing MG in the nature of broker fees
reduction; however, his general estimate is only 2MM a year savings.
However, he sees the value in the margin credit lines we now have and are
continuing to increase. I spoke with him briefly regarding the legal issues
which I think he appreciated as significant.

Per Joe: He also sees a limited economic advantage in respect of the broker
fees. However, he thinks the interest free margin lines provide us with
greater value, in part due to increased liquidity and the insulation from
funds flow volatility. Joe thinks margin lines should be utilized first and
then outside brokers. He sees MG pretty much as any other outside broker.

If you have any questions, call.
