Kathy,

I saw a copy of your note to Jeff Rohr. We have little choice but to accept your point of view on this and Ill goahead to sign the papers as you have given them to me.

I hope now that, as the office re-opens, well be able to come to grips with the issue of my being able to alsoguarantee the other $450,000. My guarantee on this will be total, and it will be on the same terms that apply to

the $850,000 and, to repeat, the availability of these funds as crucial to giving us the running room to get tothe point in time where we hope and expect Federalization funds to be available. Don will be separatelysending you the back-up business plan that youve requested in the event Federalization does not take place. Tobe absolutely clear with you, this institution and mission are far too important to put all our eggs in that basket,even as we continue to be hopeful of it coming through and even as it remains our #1 priority by far.

Craig,Sorry to bother you on your vacation. I wanted you to see the message, below, from John Pepper (Proctor &Gamble CEO-emeritus and chairman of the National Underground Freedom Center board).

Margie Gertner said she sent with you on your trip a copy of our draft staff report on the Freedom Center. Thedraft staff report contains the staff recommendation about releasing an $850K appropriation ONLY if it is fullyguaranteed, if we continue to hold a $460K escrow, and if the Freedom Center provides a fallback businessplan showing how they would continue to operate if federalization doesnt occur. In the message below Mr.Pepper is expressing his opinion about why the $460K escrow should be released in addition to the $850Kappropriation (with a guaranty he is willing to make). I am hoping to have an opportunity to talk with you nextweek to get your read on the staff recommendations and also on Mr. Peppers request that the escrow bereturned to the Freedom Center.

I am meeting with Chairman Budig the second week in January to set the agenda for our February 8Commission meeting. Your feedback regarding the draft staff recommendations on the Freedom Center wouldbe very helpful.

Im ccing Margie on this email so that we might be able to identify a time on your calendar for a brieftelephone call (10-15 min.) on this subject in early January. The key questions relate to the staffrecommendations and whether you agree with them, see room for improvement, or identify points we need toresearch further.

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

To: Kathy FoxCc : [email protected]: Contractual Papers....

(Dictated but not read by John Pepper)-------------------------

Dear Kathy,

I just want you to know that Ill be getting the contractual papers you sent me back to the appropriate officeearly the week of January 10. Ill mail out the week prior to that. My lawyer has raised one, I think relativelyminor, question with your staff.

Im assuming youll let Tom and Ben know if there are any missing pieces as far as youre 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 havemy earlier e-mail. My wife and I will guarantee that. Given that, I dont 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 beavailable.

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

Best regards,

John Pepper(513) 293-7474

Kathy,


I hope now that, as the office re-opens, well be able to come to grips with the issue of my being able to alsoguarantee the other $450,000. My guarantee on this will be total, and it will be on the same terms that apply tothe $850,000 and, to repeat, the availability of these funds as crucial to giving us the running room to get tothe point in time where we hope and expect Federalization funds to be available. Don will be separately

sending you the back-up business plan that youve requested in the event Federalization does not take place. Tobe absolutely clear with you, this institution and mission are far too important to put all our eggs in that basket,even as we continue to be hopeful of it coming through and even as it remains our #1 priority by far.

John E. Pepper

Dear Kathy,



Also, and very importantly, I would like to process the additional $450,000 at that same time. I think you havemy earlier e-mail. My wife and I will guarantee that. Given that, I dont 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 beavailable.

KathyThanks for your response to John's note. If Ben's cash flow did not show the escrowed amount it should have. In addition,based on our last phone conversation, I believe we shoild have the opportunity to respond to the staff report. This in lightof the fact we have made significant budget adjustments that will give us a strong option for sustainability withoutfederalization.

I look forward to discussing this further after the first of the new year.

Have a Meery Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.

Kathy,

I have the documents supporting the $850,000 and have sent them on to my lawyer. I expect we'll beable to process these quite quickly.

There is the additional $450,000 or so that is also being held in escrow that my wife and I want toguarantee so they can also be released in February. This, of course, is as we talked in the past. Could Iask that documents covering these funds also be sent to me so I can move them along.

Kathy,

As Don says, the latest cash flow sheet which we have all been over meticulously does show the escrowed $450,000 andBen Reece will be getting that to you not later than mid-next week. My guarantee and that of my wife for the $450,000 aswell as the $850,000 should give you and your staff the assurance you want that in the eventuality of the FreedomCenter's not continuing in operation, an eventuality that we are absolutely committed to NOT happening, you would havefunds to maintain it, etc. This $450,000 is critical to taking us to the end of 2011 and maybe early 2012, the timing onwhich we are aiming for Federal funds to be available. I would be delighted to talk this with you or members of your staff.

Have a good holiday.

John
