Thanks for taking my question. And Monty really appreciate all the color on the Weisman process.

First of all, you know, I guess if the process that you&#8217;ve reopened doesn&#8217;t lead to any higher bids my understanding is that Weisman has made a formal offer and you could accept it regardless of them signing an NDA.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:101px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Is there any reason why you wouldn&#8217;t move forward with that given that you determined the net pricing is acceptable?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;text-indent:-48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Monty Bennett:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Right now we&#8217;re in the process of trying to get them to sign the NDA. There&#8217;s a number of reasons for that which I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re aware of Ryan. And it&#8217;s curious to us as why someone wouldn&#8217;t sign an NDA.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;text-indent:-48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:101px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">So at this point in time we&#8217;re just focused on getting that NDA signed by them.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;text-indent:-48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Participant 1:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">But I guess the question I would have is why, I mean help us understand why you feel like an NDA needs to be signed when they&#8217;ve already made a formal offer.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Monty Bennett:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">There&#8217;s all kinds of reasons why you&#8217;d want an NDA signed. And that is that you don&#8217;t want the negotiations that goes on during a negotiation on a merger agreement to be made public which can lead to stock manipulation. You also want to make sure that nothing else leaks out to some of the different media sources that are there.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:101px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We also want to make sure that we are dealing with a buyer that can close on the - on a deal. And without an NDA signed in our experience and I said this in the script, a financing source will not give a commitment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:101px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">So there&#8217;s all kinds of reasons to get that NDA signed.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Participant 1:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Got you. So if you and Weisman can&#8217;t come to terms on an NDA because obviously it seems like there&#8217;s been a decent amount of back and forth on that, you guys would be unlikely to accept the offer even though you deem the offer at the appropriate level. Is that a fair assessment?</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Monty Bennett:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We just have to take it back to the Board. And the Board would have to make that call. And that hasn&#8217;t been presented to the Board because the NDA is standard. Other groups have signed it. Other, you know, well-known household name type of groups that you would recognize un-negotiated or very, very slightly negotiated. And they were signed weeks ago.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:101px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">So I think the Board would have to assess as to why that wouldn&#8217;t be signed and would have to think about all the risks and the potential liability in not signing. And try to understand the motivation of why a group wouldn&#8217;t sign an NDA and assessing what to do going forward.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><br></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Participant 1:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.

And on sale a externally managed platform if it pays $1 in the termination fee that&#8217;s value that an internally managed platform wouldn&#8217;t have to pay.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:101px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">But on an ongoing basis and all of the analysis that we have done there&#8217;s no indication whatsoever that there&#8217;s a discount applied to externally managed platforms merely for being externally managed or regardless of what that termination fee may be. And we&#8217;ve looked at all the RMR platforms and quite a few others.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Participant 1:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. So your view is more that the external management structure doesn&#8217;t destroy value or doesn&#8217;t limit value on an ongoing basis not necessarily on a go private transaction. Is that a fair summary?</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Monty Bennett:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">If there&#8217;s a termination fee paid or if there&#8217;s other fixed...</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Participant 1:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Right.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Monty Bennett:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">costs to pay then that would impact the value at that point in time.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:102px;text-indent:-102px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:102px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:1px;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Participant 1:</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay, that&#8217;s helpful.
