Mike,
Got your vmail yesterday...all I can say is that it absolutely is terrible! You have as much knowledge
about their products as probably more than they do. You've been instrumental in getting us to this point
we're at and I'm not quite sure how we're going to get to the endpoint without you.
Thanks for all of your hard work.

Kent, Blake and Barb,
Attached is the document that shows that the Ohio location is a Direct Pay Permit state so no taxes will
be assessed on the video equipment that VZB sells to the Blue Ash Data Center (BDC):

Kent,
As requested, here are the two revised quotes along with two margin analysis scenarios that you
requested. I had to guess on the location as to where Cisco Capital wants to send the bill to. That can
always be changed. I think these would be fine to send along to Bob Payne. Since we do not have the
following from Cindy Novack (which I called her on two days ago), you will have to send along a Belgium
quote without VAT & Landing Fees (see area circled in red below):

changed on quote). Need Cisco Capital correct bill to address, if possible, if not we will have to change after the fact (used Cisco Capital’s Singapore address for a placeholder).
Site Name: Cincinnati (DONE)
Quote#: 1-5F0JNG
Action: Need to have the RMS Product Code added and confirm that VBCAP Applied and the correct address updated per email from John Hanck. {Everything has been updated as
requested}

correct address updated per email from John Hanck:

Bob,
Apologies, however I do not think we'll have these out to you tonight. I will follow up with you first thing in the am. I've cancelled my vacation day tomorrow to help get this done.
