Heading: Clark's Discovery

Text: 32 Clark declared that he examined the countersigned offer letter and discovered what McGurn had done [a]t some point after making [the] decision [to terminate McGurn], but before the actual termination. The record only establishes that this discovery was made during or after April of 1998, and before McGurn was fired in August of 1998. 3 McGurn argues that once Bell discovered his counteroffer it had an obligation to speak up if it wished to reject it. Bell points out, however, that Clark could have discovered the altered document as late as the day before he fired McGurn. Whatever the merits of McGurn's legal argument on this point — a matter as to which we take no view — this factual uncertainty precludes summary judgment for McGurn based on Clark's actual knowledge of McGurn's counteroffer.
