1 A. I'm sorry. Can you repeat the question?<br />
Page 108<br />
2 Q. You said that you had lied to Silversea<br />
3 about them being on poor legal footing with respect<br />
4 to <strong>Albert</strong>'s termination from the company.<br />
5 Did I understand you correctly?<br />
6 A. Yes, sir.<br />
7 Q. Did Mr. Peter have an employment agreement?<br />
8 A. I don't recall whether he did or not.<br />
9 Q. Do you recall if he was terminable at will?<br />
10 A. I don't recall <strong>of</strong>f the top <strong>of</strong> my head.<br />
11 I'd need to see the agreements and the<br />
12 transition agreement. I just don't recall.<br />
13 Q. What is it that you recall lying to<br />
14 Silversea about concerning Mr. Peter?<br />
15 A. The main thing was that he was going to go<br />
16 to the media and blast Manfredi.<br />
17 The other thing was that if they did engage<br />
18 in litigation with him, that the skeletons in<br />
19 Manfredi's closet and in the company's closet would<br />
20 ultimately be exposed, placing them on weak legal<br />
21 footing and also poor PR footing if they proceeded<br />
22 with such litigation.<br />
23 Q. When you used the phrase earlier "poor<br />
24 legal footing," were there legal theories <strong>of</strong> relief<br />
25 or legal arguments that you misstated to Silversea?
