As we discussed, although this does not represent a version that has been formally approved internally at our Office, it is an effort to include the updates and edits we talked through yesterday. I believe this should represent what we addressed, but I also realize that we've revised some aspects that you mentioned you'd need to further consider, and there is some new proposed language in areas you suggested we clarify, so I expect it may be useful to chat again once you've reviewed. All that said, we wanted to get you the revised version quickly, and I'm happy to discuss again, including anytime this weekend if that's helpful, to go through any outstanding issues. thanks, From: Christian Everdell Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2020 20:13 To: •c > C Cc: Mark S.
