בעדותו טען אספר כי הסכם שכר הטרחה הוא שגיבש את ההבנות וההסכמות בין הצדדים ולא תכנית המשחק. להלן אבחן הסכם זה.
ג. הסכם שכר הטרחה מיום 3.2.05 (נ/7)
הסכם שכר הטרחה מנוסח כמכתב של מוטי מורל למר לייפסיק. מדובר בהסכם כללי, נראה שמדובר בנוסח אחיד. המטרות מוגדרות באופן כללי כגיבוש אסטרטגיה תקשורתית, מחקר ופעולות חקירה. יש לציין כי התובעים מוגדרים במכתב זה: "המטרה" "the target", באופן שעולה בקנה אחד עם תכנית המשחק. לייפסיק נחקר בעניין זה, כדלקמן (עמ' 84 ש' 10 עד עמ' 86 ש' 13):
"Q. And let's see how you relate to Merkai Tikshoret group the target. So lets see the spirit of this document, this is not we CanWest as you Moti Morel to give us good publication in Israel visa vi Merkai Tikshoret but we have a target here, we are still hunting the same as in the game plan… we have a target here, somebody to hunt?
A. It’s a use of, it’s a use of the word. It was not, as I described earlier this was not right in conjunction with the game plan. It was meant to be the document that was going to be the directing element and instructions.
Q. So why use target?
A. You know what? It was his version, I got the impression this was a typical kind of Israeli kind of terminology I didn’t take exception to it per se at the time, and obviously he was the initial drafter of the document, I didn’t draft the document initially it came into him that’s the word he used, I tried to make as few changes to the document as possible that didn’t cause me issue, if Merkai tikshoret group wants to defined as MTG or target it was really not a relevant component, I looked at the draft that he had submitted?
Q. Mr. Lypsick you, you truly are a well experienced lawyer, a long time council for the CanWest group, and you were just saying that you were wording this letter together with Mr. Morel and you were just saying that this letter was among other things meaning to, intending to, to soften that game plan that was made the other day and still you missed the word target in this paper, you are saying you are telling us that this is the expression of Mr. Morel?
