Dear Judge Sleet:
I write on behalf of Thermo Electron Corporation and Thermo Finnigan, LLC
(collectively, “Tl'1B1"1TlO”) to inform the Court that Thermo has engaged special Delaware counsel
to represent it in any matter relating to a discovery dispute to be heard by Your Honor on
December 6, 2005. The discovery dispute relates to a protective order entered in the Micromass
litigation, in which Richards, Layton and Finger was Delaware counsel to l\/Iicromass, Inc. and
Micrornass UK, Ltd, To avoid any potential contlict, Tlrenno has engaged special Delaware
counsel to handle this matter only.
As always, if Your Honor has any questions regarding the foregoing, counsel
remains available at the Court’s convenience.
Respectfully,
W ( Ueéaffg
