COLE, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority. I write separately to note my disagreement with the majority to the extent that the majority opinion impbes that the content of the Manual cannot create ambiguity in the contract due to the integration clause. The R3001 Agreement at issue in this case, in my view, does not exclude the Manual from consideration through the integration clause in § I.C of the Agreement. The R3001 Agreement expressly incorporates the Manual in its entirety. The Manual is therefore a part of the agreement integrated by § I.C. Thus, properly read, the integration clause functions to include, rather than exclude, the content of the Manual.
Because I do not view this issue to be critical to the disposition of the case, I concur.
