Ruppert stated 65 line items. Ruppert stated Louden claimed he would cover all line items and that Mr. Ruppert would have zero out of pocket cost. Gollin asked what does that mean.

Ruppert stated, it was his understanding that if you are going to do this and you cannot do it, don't come to the customer asking for money.
