Subject: Re: Rich Kahn
I don't understand Max's position. I wrote h=m a personal letter explaining that we are working with a financial advise=,
Richard Kahn, and asking him to provide Mr. Kahn with any information re=ated to my estate that he requires, assuring
him that he has my authorizat=on to do so. That includes all of the marital trusts, which are part=of my estate -- in fact,
I have been paying the management fees for them a=d they are part of the regular information that Bainco provides to
me abou= my estate. Since he is a trustee of the trusts, it is appropriate f=r him to provide the requested information
about them. Please reaffirm to =ax that he has my full permission to share all information.
=div>l wrote to Sam Bain to do the same. And I would appreciate it if=you would also provide to Kahn all information he
may request related dire=tly or indirectly to my estate.
At this point, we=are exploring various options about how to proceed. We are working w=th Mr. Kahn, and while we
haven't yet formally engaged with John DeSim=ne, we are interested in seeing his analyses. I did have questions a=out
the Oakmont analysis, which, frankly, I did not understand.

Dear Noam,
Max Kohlenberg forwarded to me your email requesting=that he provide any and all information regarding your
estate to Richard K=hn. He forwarded me the email in my capacity as your estate attorney= and because his only
current role is as the trustee of Carol's marital trusts, he felt it would not be =ppropriate for him to connect directly with
Richard Kahn.
Could you please bring me up to date on what you env=sion Richard Kahn's role to be, whether he replaces John
DeSimone =nd/or Nick Nichols (who are in the process of working on your financial an= investment matters as per our
discussions to date), and what firm Rich Kahn works for? Max also forwarded to m= a second email from Rich Kahn's
assistant requesting a telephone =onference, and there is no firm or other business affiliation noted in the=assistant's
email.
