Breakup Fee is $675 million

It will look nice on the CPQ balance sheet.

One clear "out" is to let the shareholders vote the deal down. The other out is to let CPQ know it *will* be voted down, but that HP will still let it go to a vote. Since it would be several months before any vote, it would be better for CPQ to waive the fee than to suffer in limbo while waiting.
