Max,
I remember that once you mentioned in a conversation with me and Noam that your father died too young. Not only that, but without taking
advantage of life.
I imagine that you have been under a lot of pressure for some years now and this has been causing you a lot of stress. Life is a constant array
of choices, and sometimes we have to weight well the stances we are taking, because they can become so heavy in ow consciousness that can
devastate someone's life. I am afraid that you have been taking stances that you are going deeply regret and hardly cope with them when you
reach more advanced years.
The reason I mentioned your father in the beginning of this letter is because, I am sure that if you have had the chance to provide your father
a better quality of life, you would have done so. But to recognize that all the resources in the world won't be able to recover those years
when he was alive, or somehow bring him back, it is a horrible sensation of powerless.
I am appalled by your unprofessional behavior in the recent months and would like to request you -- at this point — politely, that when you
write to my husband, you keep a professional and respectful composition. I have been finding your letters to him beyond the boundaries. So I
request that you fix your tone.

Good evening Noam -
I sent a copy of the trust (and the amendments) to Shari around 7am today and copied you and Valeria. As I'm home for
the weekend now it would be quickest if you would forward that email to Rich, which will (in turn) allow him to forward
the documents wherever he (and you) wish.
Thanks,

I see that you have sent a copy of the Trust to Sheri. I do not see any reason for involving Deborah. Please send the copy to Richard Kahn, so
that he can forward it to the litigation department at Steptoe & Johnson.

Shari —
My apologies to you (and to Noam and Valeria) but as my message indicated I have already notified Deborah of
your request. That said, your observation that Noam is a beneficiary of the trust and should thus be entitled to
ask that I provide you with a copy is understood. I will forward a copy to you tomorrow.
Thanks,
Max

Max, Noam has requested that I obtain a copy, and inasmuch as he is a beneficiary, that would seem
reasonable. I do not believe they have communicated about this meeting to Deborah Quinan, and
therefore would ask that you not in case they prefer to be that first contact. Thank you, Shari

Good afternoon Shari —
My apologies for the slow reply, but given the tensions surrounding this matter I felt the obligation to check with
Deborah Quinan (as current counsel to Noam) before sending you a copy of the trust. • awaiting her reply and
will get back to you as soon as I have authorization.
With appreciation for your patience,
