Hi Timothy

I'm guessing the first thing the lawyers will want to know is, what
wording would be acceptable to Raptor?  Do you think you could ask your
legal team to take a crack at the actual wordling they'd like to see
such that Raptor could sign?  Then any interested legal party can simply
review the wording and accept the change or propose an alternative.
