3B4 may come into play in long drawn out negotiations, but the threat to 3B4 is another substandard TA that weakens 3B4 further - essentially to the point that it is worthless.
Remember the failed TA included a provision that PS would be applied to any 3B4 calculations minimizing the value of 3B4. We should not accept any such provision, but the majority of the MEC apparently was willing to allow such a change. I just hope the new NC cleans up the next TA in this and many other regards.
