I've had a couple of conversations with Brad before sending \nthis on, so I apologize for the delay. \nForgetting the legal wording, the biggest change involves how they are thinking about increased \ncompensation. They are effectively setting up a new paradigm. They are willing to pay $5 million for the \n\"old\" agreement - i.e., the limited non-compete, etc. They are willing to pay more than $5 million if you \nagree that (i) you won't communicate with MSFT employees regarding compensation, business strategy \nand certain other matters (last sentence of Section 6(a)) and (ii) you won't basically ever author any \ninformation regarding MSFT that they consider unpleasant (Section 6(b)). They also request you certify on \na quarterly basis until July 1, 2014 that you've complied with these requirements. \nI my conversations with Brad, I've already told him there's no way this would fly and that even the proposal \nwas very likely to set things back. In view of the \"strong personality\" of his client, he was not at liberty to \ndial anything back. There's more color around this that I can share in a call among the three of us. \nLet me know some times that work for you today and I'll coordinate with Jay. \nBest regards. \nScott D.
