Please see Max's response below. You'll see that he raises some of the issues that we discussed yesterday with
respect to Reid's trust administration experience. It would be helpful if you can provide me with illustrative
cases of the type you described to me yesterday in which he serves as trustee of trusts that are governed under
Massachusetts law and otherwise so that we can respond to Max's request. As we discussed his bio does not
provide any of this information.

Deborah —
Mwriting to acknowledge receipt of your email, below. I understood that you were waiting for me to provide you
with a suggested list of qualified professional trustees (in consultation with Harry) and I am preparing a list of trustees
EFTA00934434
to present to you soon. While I take your message as a suggestion that Harry consider attorney Weingarten as a
candidate, I see nothing at his firm's web page that indicates that attorney Weingarten (accomplished as he may be as
a white collar crime litigator) has the knowledge or necessary experience to serve as trustee of a marital trust
established under Massachusetts law. (I would note that a quick perusal of the web indicates that he has represented,
among others, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Roman Polanski and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Also that he was on the
short list to represent Donald Trump. Very impressive!) Given attorney Weingarten's specialty and client list I'll be
interested to hear why he is being proposed as the professional trustee of the Carol S. Chomsky marital trusts.
It was great to hear from you last week that Noam has agreed to provide financial information to support his request
for further principal distributions from the marital trusts. I do hope that some information will be offered soon, so
that I will be in a position to consider such distributions, including those that have already been requested (in addition
to the tax payments that were made on his behalf in the last 10 days).

Max and Harry,
Noam has selected an independent trustee who meets the requirements of the trust and who has agreed to serve. His
name is Reid Weingarten, and a link to his biography appears below.
Please confirm that you are in agreement with this appointment by next Wednesday, January 3rd, and I will
prepare the necessary documentation.
Thank you,
Deborah
