[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But why wouldn't Maret have done the deal if it was only for 10 years? Admittedly I have no idea what their situation was like before or how much it cost them. But, they spent less than $250k per year to rent it, which is way less than the interest payment DC is responsible for.[/quote] Why not? If, as Jack Evans and Maret claim, “everyone’s” expectation was that the deal last 19 years, then the agreement should have reflected that. They knew there was a possibility the contract would not be renewed; they couldn’t be sure that circumstances would not change (they did) and they couldn’t be certain that Jack Evans would still be around to back them. If the 10 year deal wasn't a good enough for Maret, then they shouldn’t have signed it. They aren’t owed anything and perhaps they need some lessons in drafting contracts. [/quote]
