Mr, Jerry Gumphrey Page 2 February 3, 2010 Following that conversation, I spoke with ERMU staff to get the exact amounts due on the various accounts and sent an email late on that evening November 3, 2009} confirming the agreement I thought we had reached during our conversation. By November 9, ERMU had not seen a deposit yet and I sent a fallow~up email to Ron requesting an update. By November 17, 2009, I still had not heard from Ron and gave the ERMU Board Members an update at their meeting on that date.

At the conclusion of the meeting, I agreed to prepare a proposed agreement between Rock Solid and ERMU, which would go to the ERMU Board on December 15, and which would provide for the amounts in arrearage to be put on deposit until a decision could be made whether the Receiver was required to pay them or not. I had a subsequent phone conversation with Ron on December 4, 2009 pursuant to which we discussed the possibility of settling the issue between the Receiver and ERMU for something less than the total amounts past due, Following a conversation with Commissioner Dietz, I had a follow-up conversation with Ron on December 7, 2009 pursuant to which I proposed to settle the
