Andrea, 

Thank you for getting back. Sure, I can work on other projects until you can provide the information. If you can provide 

at least some of the information by the end of next week, that would be helpful. 

Yes, I am interested in a listing of both stack units and ambient air/fenceline units. At this point, it’s my understanding 

(based on our discussion at AWMA) that only Cooper currently manufactures and markets the stack units globally. I also 

understood from our discussion that FPI (China?) might be developing a stack unit in addition to their existing ambient 

units. Please let me know if that’s not the case. 

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Subject: Information request update 

Hello David, 

I just wanted to contact you to let you know that I have not forgotten your information requests, but there has 

been a delay in my ability to respond. We have had international visitors every day since I returned from 

AWMA, which hasn’t left me any time to gather document, etc. It is still on my high priority list, and I hope to 

have something to you soon. 

We have been discussing strategies for getting a stack demonstration unit up and running, which I believe will 

be very helpful for any current or future consent decrees or other enforcement actions. I will let you know how 

we progress on that score. 

I do have a question – as we discussed when we met in Chicago, there are differences, albeit slight, between the 

ambient and stack Xact models. Are you interested in a list of all Xacts that exist around the world, or just the 

stack models? I could provide both, if that would be helpful. I think my main concern is that there simply aren’t 

that many stack units in existence, despite the fact that we have proven the technology works. As we discussed, 

when there is no regulatory requirement, most industry won’t have any interest in installing a system that has 

the potential to identify an emissions problem. Once a problem is identified, they would be obligated to fix it, 

which costs money – so it’s obviously easier and less expensive to remain ignorant. It’s an understandable 

position. I worry that the list of stack units we have sold will not provide what you might need for your 

objectives. I could also provide a list of ambient units. There are a few differences, and certainly the 

environmental conditions for a stack unit are much harsher than for an ambient unit, but the overall technology 

is exactly the same. I am just trying to find out if a list of the ambient units in addition to the stack units would 

be helpful for you to justify the requirement for the HWI in question.

I promise I will be in touch as soon as possible to provide the documents and information you requested. If you 

think of anything else, please let me know. I truly apologize for the delay.
