I had a question regarding seller compensation. We are currently in the process of negotiating the APA with the seller and he has mentioned several times prior that we’ll need to discuss his compensation during the 3-month transition period and for any ongoing work after that. Was wondering what the industry standard is for compensating the owner on top of the purchase price, I would think that handing over the business and a getting the new owners up to speed in our negotiated transition period would be part of handing the business over. About a 25% of the purchase price is in a non contingent seller note.
