[Lnc-business] Contract Status

[Alicia Mattson]

I suppose I should thank the chair for at least telling us that he intends
to act outside of his authority...??

I'm not sure whether LNC members are getting the track-changes version or a
changes-accepted version, but let me highlight for you the differences
between the Nick version and the COC version:

1)  COC added a sentence in "21. Cancellation"
2)  COC added a sentence in "24. Force Majeure"
3)  COC added two phrases in "30. Confirmation" noting that this version is
COC-approved and supersedes any previous version
4)  COC also struck out the name of Robert Kraus as the person the hotel
expected to sign and replaced with "Officer", but that wasn't going to
happen anyway.  It was just a placeholder.

To be very clear for our readers, the version Nick says he intends to sign
is the one he believes he can unilaterally cancel.  The COC-authorized
version says the cancellation or force-majeure clauses may only be
exercised by an affirmative vote of the LNC.

That is the difference.
