In addition, either Bruce Featherstone or I will accept service on behalf of Monsanto if necessary. As you may be aware, Alverson, Taylor & Mortenson represents Monsanto as local counsel while Kirkland & Ellis represents Monsanto as principal outside counsel in this litigation. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this request further, please call me. Sincerely John H. Tatlock Paul Venker, Esq. Bruce A.
