Whitestone Corporation

Many thanks to you and the Walden Group for helping to bring our recent transaction to a successful close. This deal was very challenging for a variety of reasons and your nuanced, persistent and sensitive counsel as part of our team was integral to complet-ing it, especially under the current economic climate. In particular, your ability to foster friendly dialog on challenging points and break logjams during those pivotal points in our negotiations was instrumental in getting to a terrific conclusion. We are grateful for your assistance and look forward to working with you again on a future transaction.
