                        AND NOW, comes Joseph D. Carapico, defendant, in his own
    
    i           right, representing himself, and answers the plaintiffs motion as follows:
    
                         1. What is stated here is only partly correct. It is true that in the autumn of
    
                1998 the Exchange was negotiating terms of a transaction with the American
    
                Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers. It is not true that
    
                I lead a faction of members opposed to that proposed transaction; however, I was
    
                one of. many concerned members who believed the negotiations were on a path
    
                which would lead to diluting of Exchange assets and therefore filed a Section 220
    
                action in this Court as well as an action in Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas
    
    i           seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction.
    
    
    
                    2. To the extent that this is stated, it is true.
    
                    3. I do not know about that, since I was not aware of this
    
    i     action until later.
                    4. Delaware counsel may have filed certain actions, especially
    
    
    SNIPPETS:

  • AND NOW, comes Joseph D. Carapico, defendant, in his own
  • 1998 the Exchange was negotiating terms of a transaction with the American
  • Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers.
  • I lead a faction of members opposed to that proposed transaction;

  • I believe that the conference took place as I was so
  • I never authorized Mr. Recchuiti to represent me in this
  • matter nor to get involved in a briefing schedule.
  • by-law request, I did not understand why there was still a law suit.
  • The two lawyers, who wrote to Mr. Abramczyk indicating they did not
