Re: Your letter of August 15, 2007 to Roger Johnson
resign as an officer of MAPI, effectively immed
of your letter of August 15, 2007. Your letter purports cause you to
ly. Lwas elected President by the
‘Managers on August 16,2007, and asa result, am not lly prepared to respond to your
letter. As ofthis date and based upon comments made two weeks ago and last week, it
‘may well be that you were never an employee of MAPI, but en employee of Altus
Ventures. To assist mein developing the facts, Ido have erian questions and comments
‘hich you can assist me with by providing answers and comments
1
2,
Do you know the dat and do you havea copy of the minute ofthe Manages?
sneting held to approve your purported contact? The Manager representatives
fiom 4S Development and Grasy Creek Holdings do not know of meeting that
‘otedon the purported contact. The MAPI Operating Agreement (5.1 requires
“amejority ofthe Manager to approve the ations ofthe Manager prior tthe
time that n action of Manage can bind MAPI. The purported employment
agreement (2) tts that you employment is ..jn accordance with the
Company's Operating Agreement”
Thave knowledge of two mecings tht occured on Monday Augus 6, 2007. One
‘meeting wes hel inthe morning andthe second meeting Was bl lt afternoon
tain both meetings your purpated contact with MAPI wos discussed.
4 Inthe morning meting, Don Anderson sated to those in atendance and
‘ona phone conference lng, tat you were nat an emplayee af MAP, bt
‘an employee of Altus Ventures and were on contaat to MAPI. Don
“Anceson went ono sate that ines you were nat a MAP employes the
issue onthe table, your far satus with MAPI, vas nat subject
dlsousson
Inthe afemoon the subject of your purported Mach 5, 2007 contact
‘with MAPL was specially identified as an agend ie for tht mesting.
‘When the discussion on your purported March contact was introduced,
Don Andeton informed the group tat he contact was wsumed by Alt
Ventures prior to the aflernoon meeting. Matt Grit counsel to Alt
‘ears, was asked by Dan Anderson o prepare a document hat would
reflet your transfer to Altos Ventures.«Inthe moming meeting, Don Anderson made reference to the fet that you
Jhad been working on various proects fr Altus Ventures, He went on
say that if MAPI didn’t want your services, Altus would use you fll time.
This statement was eonfirmed by Bob Keys, who Don Anderson asked to
confirm your work for Altus Ventures.
44. No action was taken at either mecting by the Managers of MAPI on your
position with MAPI. The reason that no action was taken was that if you
‘were not an employee of MAPI but an employee of Altus Ventures, no
ston was necessary,
3. ‘The Managers of MAPT held « Manager meeting on August 16,2007, Don
‘Anderson prepared the Agenda forthe meeting. Agends
Operating Officer (CEO) of MAPI, During the discussion ofthis agend
Don Anderson tendered a resignation letter dated August 16,2007 as President
‘and CEO of MAPI. In your purported contac with MAPI, your employment
position is “President” (1.1), If Don Anderson was President and CEO and such
positon vas recognized by the Managers of MAPI that Don Anderson was
President and CEO, how could you have been President?
4. If your purported contact with MAPT is determined in the future to be vali, it
‘appears from the infoumation that I presently know that you are in breach ofthe
contract. Ifyou were an employee of MAPI, you were fo devote 100% of your
time and loyalty to your duties at MAPI. Based upon the carnments of Don
‘Anderson on August 6 2007, you were employed and working for Altus
‘Ventures, which would be a breach of the contact In addition, when you vaca
yout office last week, you took documents and objects that belonged to MAPI.
‘This isin violation of §10 ofthe contact. Please retumn sll ofthe MAPI procured
documents and equipment that you removed from the MAPI offices by Friday
‘August 24, 2007.
5. 1, and others, have received reports from individuals in Routt County and from
government employees in Routt County that you have been disparaging MAPI
and have been making derogatory comments about MAPI’s future to them. Ifyou
have been making such disparaging and derogatory comments, we ak that you
‘ease and desis from such activities. Such negative conduct may well be
actionable conduct that MAPI coul, if t chose fo, seck legal redtess,
await your response to these questions and issues, Fee fee to give me a cal if you
desire
Sincerely,
President
