Where IBM actually is hugely supportive, So I think that ‘was about clearing the last sort of big hurdle. Right. On the other one, I’m glad we got out of Spansion because that ‘one's looking really, really bad. Yeah, you told me, yeah, and it’s so, yeah, Um. Um. Um, go ahead, No, and then I, you know, I think a few of these other ones that, you know, one is at least a bit closer to like, you know, Juniper or ‘even frankly many of my, my colleagues know Motorola really well or EMC. I mentioned. That whole EMC, Cisco thing is not, not likely to work out, unless you've heard something different. think there, what they've done is, exactly, they’ve done a strate-, they’re gonna do a strategic relationship with VMWare. Where they'll be selling VMWare products. Mm, Mm, Mm, You know, Juniper, I hear the new guy, the Microsoft guy is much more acquisitive than Scott Kreins, Mm bm, And he’s looking to get into, kind of build a multi-produet company you know, a big, have the security and a router and he's looking at wireless LAN and so He was one of our three top clients at Microsoft, and I actually had dinner with him, Kevin whatever Johnson. Yeah, ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: So L will try and just see if he, that is in fact the ease, then you know, we should be able to get some insight and also we'd be helping him. I spoke to Daniel what’s his name. Pacthod. Pacthod, today. Hm. He sent me a proposal, right? Hm. And he had 13 o 8, 16 items, right? Mm. Mm. ‘That they wanted to do within three months. 1 think that’s too much, you know? Mm, Mm, Mm. So what I said was let’s narrow it down to four, right? Mm, And let’s you know, just focus on those four. Tell me what you ‘can do in, sort of one month type of timeframe, and then three, right, Mm. Mm. So then he sent me something, a reverse proposal with a four, 1 can’t remember, four or five, I think, and the markets are so crazy I didn’t pay attention Mm, Mm, Mm. Mm. Mm. read it, I think four items. 9 Sewrud sHEe0une W 12 2B 14 15 16 7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: Mm. And, I, and he sent me a different proposal, you know, that he would work for a month, right? Mm, In four weeks we'd review what they'd done. Right? Mm. Mm, ‘And go on, you know, from there, We'd see, I, [Tike the narrow focus and you know, sort of a feel. Yeah, I think so and [think he's got the mindset, which is the right cone, Raj, whieh is, I basically said, you know, you've got to have the right insights. I mean, that’s all that matters in the end. Right. So whatever you do, you figure out, which are the ones you have, you know, start with, and have the right insight that you feel we are able to do something that’s unique, that’s distinctive that’s somewhat watertight, right? Because for whatever reason we know, right, because we either do a survey of people, which we know, which is routine in the firm, but we happen to know because of suppliers or the pipeline, or whatever it is, right? It's a collection data (UD . And, and... (un Yeah, yeah, right. Some proprietary data we may have or surveys ‘we may conduct or whatever that is, So I think he's trying to pick that because obviously it’s also in his best interest to show you that the value can be added, because that’s, he knows that’s what gonna keep him going, right? Right, So I think the second proposal he sent was a little more tighter, right? 10 eeu ausone 10 ul 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: RAJ RAJARATNAM: ANIL KUMAR: ANIL KUMAR: RAI RAJARATNAM: Mm. Mm. Mm. So I said, I'm, you know, I said, I spoke to George. You know, because apparently the compliance guys have to sign on and all that, so.. Mm. You know, both sides are talking, I told George to talk... [CALL MINIMIZED} No, Ihaven’t spoken to him for 2-3 weeks, but very interesting things happened, I spoke to Bobby Rao today for about an hour, and you know, Rajat’s doing this telecom fund with Parag and all this stuff, and he's very, very keen to have Bobby as his key guy. And it would have made an enormous amount of sense, Bobby is Jjust a class act, [don’t think you've met him, but he’s sort of, ‘even, you know, two, not one notch, but two notches classier than Ramesh, okay? Right. And, and he’s head of strategy at Vodafone, So Rajat keeps saying look, this guy is going to make or break the fund, 1 must have him, he’s actually, his experience at Vodafone has been to be investing in intemet companies. The reason why I'm telling you all this is that you know, the, the issue is that they flew him out, Parag and Rajat, to meet them... {CALL MINIMIZED] and said that, he said that Arun Sarin was there and they were going to the US Open with him and so on, and now they want ‘Arun involved and Bobby’s got very little regard for Arun, For many of the reasons that you and I have talked about in the past.

Okay. Idon't know, really? (Ul I know that Arun was at the tennis, that’s all I know, I don’t know what the discussions were, you know, Mm hm. And ah No, you know, in the end, that'd be ‘That'll be a good thing, right? tall depends, I mean it depends on what they want him for or to do, [could understand Telecom, but also it all depends on what Arun is committing to doing with them. [CALL MINIMIZED] ‘And he says I’m Rajat's partner but I'm CEO, right? Mm. Mm. And you know, tell Victor, Vietor works for us and you know Arun (UD) Vietor (UI) and you know... ‘Mm.

Mm, You know? And I think you know. Well, you know, the, their, investments in India, you know, have very carly days they have invested 22% of the fund, the.. [CALL MINIMIZED] But leverage has been significantly reduced or gone to nonexistence. Mm, Mm. So what private equity companies are doing is they're drawing down more of the capital Correct. ‘You know previously they would draw down some and top it up with leverage. Mm, ‘So what's happening is these guys who funded, who committed, they’re not funding. [CALL MINIMIZED] ‘The whole money raising environment has become, it’s almost, you know, come to a trickle. Mm, Mm. So, now, the other thing that will happen is if the equity markets don’t come back, is the interest that you thought might happen in 18 months might take 24 months.

Which is why these guys are now suddenly, and then they haven't build the capability to do that because... [CALL MINIMIZED] Stocks are trading at cash and all that, if you have patient capital, you know? Mm, Mm, ‘And the reception was good, but they are also get you know? ig very smart, Mm, ‘They say look, all right, you know, we'll give you capital, but we need, if you're going to increase the duration, you necd to give something back, You have a hurdle rate, right? Which is reasonable, [CALL MINIMIZED] ‘These guys.
