Heading: The N.Y. Daily News Article

Text: 68 On June 6, 1996, Rick Cotton of NBC published an article which stated: 69 In 1995, a seismic event occurred: Rockefeller Center went bankrupt. NBC, in considering ways to provide for its long-term studio and office needs, had discussions with various investors to find a solution that would benefit Rockefeller Center, NBC and New York City. After examining many alternatives, NBC began to consider the possibility of purchasing our current space at Rockefeller Center.... This purchase would give the potential new owners of the Center $440 million in new, up-front capital.... 70 Second Amended Complaint, at ¶ 89; App. at 00843. 71 The N.Y. Daily News Article lacks the requisite particularity in the same way as the WSJ Article. Cotton's article establishes that at some point after the bankruptcy of the partnerships, NBC considered a number of alternatives for providing for its corporate needs. Only [a]fter examining many alternatives, NBC began to consider the possibility of purchasing the space that it had been leasing. Again, exactly when NBC began considering a purchase is unclear. Cotton's article is just as consistent with the notion that GE/NBC began considering a purchase after the acquisition of RCPI by the Investor Group. And, the Daily News Article says nothing about the Investor Group or its intentions. 72
