But $10 seems like a random number halfway between a logical number and another random number ($5). • I would prefer not to name Samsung as instead say "Aside from this list of companies, Steven and other former Microsoft employees can join any organization without litigation". I want to push on other people and not have them name Samsung or any other company (box.net for example) a no fly zone *because* of me. • I don't want to be reciprocal in unenforceable things like non-disparagement. I want all of that to be one sided. the goal is to make this as petty as possible. • I have been beyond reproach. It is my style. I just don't do stuff like that about competitors or just people I don't like. Ovitz says hi. We had lunch.

I will handle it moving foward with jay, you can always blame jay , we will tell brad that you have removed yourself. I will charge you a one million dollar fee ( i will not get insulted if you choose not to ). Right at the end, not for j
