Serious value? Explain what the trade was. And then explain why Kirby wanted it so bad. He saved the ask for this until near the end of negotiations for a reason. I'm certain the company would charge us exponentially more to get rid of this provision than what they paid for it. This provision pays them dividends way beyond this TA. They were thinking long game. We're looking not much longer beyond Sept 29, 2023. They win because their horizon is usually much further out. It will pass but we're getting played. Big time.
