I suspect that the J2.5 may well be inclined to settle, while ARM wants to see this thing through to the end. IMHO a J2.5 settlement does not help ARM, but in fact hurts ARM. What exactly is ARM's interest in this case? Would/could ARM indemnify the remaining J2.5 for costs over a certain amount if they stay the course? Would that make sense? How would that play out with the mediator? Is there a J2.5 settlement that takes ARM off the hook that would be acceptable to us? TIA for any replies. Opty
