Ice Technology - Lorilee reported to the board that if Ice Technology would
agree the lawyer suggested that we go to an arbitrator and that we use a
high/low amount. This would mean that if the judge awards a lower figure
than the $2190 that Ice Tech wanted or a higher figure than $7500 that we
wanted, we would settle for the closest appropriate figure. All the
information has been sent to our lawyer Sue Jacobs. Waiting on an answer
from Ice Technoloav_
