Specifically, the two paragraphs basically add no value and just confuse the reader (ie) what is your opinion? Is this a good sale or can significant recovery (on a risk adjusted basis) occur if we convert the sub debt and infuse more equity? Are we not receiving enough value from the CFPC given the possible recovery of this sector? The DASH is deficient in its view of Basic's prospects given current energy prices. Jeff/Dick/Ray, what are your opinions? Independent of the desire to move on - what is the right call - I do not want to give value away in any divestiture or restructuring. Regards Delainey
