Dear John, 

Yes, I received your email of 12/24/10 at 5:30 PM.  As mentioned in a prior email, our office is closed for 
mandatory Cost Savings furlough days this week.  The office will reopen on Monday 1/3/2011.  Could 
you please have your attorney forward his question to me since my staff is not available this week?  I 
will be speaking with our legal counsel this afternoon, so if there is a new question it would be helpful 
for me to know what it is today. 
 
The status of the Freedom Center project review remains unchanged from my last email:  our 
Commission Treasurer is reviewing the Commission staff’s draft report.  I expect the Treasurer’s 
feedback next week.  On Monday when our office reopens and Tony Capaci is available, he can review 
any new information that Ben may have provided.   
 
Best regards, 
Kathy

Subject: Contractual Papers....

(Dictated but not read by John Pepper)

-------------------------
Dear Kathy,

I just want you to know that I’ll be getting the contractual papers you sent me back to the
appropriate office early the week of January 10. I’ll mail out the week prior to that. My lawyer
has raised one, I think relatively minor, question with your staff.

I’m assuming you’ll let Tom and Ben know if there are any “missing pieces” as far as you’re
concerned, preparing for the review with your committee in February.

Also, and very importantly, I would like to process the additional $450,000 at that same time. I
think you have my earlier e-mail. My wife and I will guarantee that. Given that, I don’t think
you will be incurring any risk. Furthermore, as pointed out and I think Ben will be getting back
to you, our latest cash flow numbers show that $450,000 as being vital to carrying us through to
the point where we believe Federalization funds will be available.

Feel free to give me a call if any part of this is something that would benefit from our talking.

Best regards,
John Pepper
