Leon,

=A0Yesterday, , I again spent hours upon hours of my time with y=ur office. ,( speak to brad to get flavor) and you and i will discus= the results in gory gruesome detail on Friday. it mirrored many oth=r weeks spent doing the things that I don;t have the time to do.

=/div>

In order to =eep things in perspective, maybe reviewing an analogy I have used b=fore with you, might be helpful. You and your family are=C2 a 6 billion dollar corp. with an income between 250 -500 millio= dollars per year. It contains a few operating biz's , a l=rge wide array of existing investments, in various categories , a de=ire to enter into others. A panoply of loans, notes. purchases= wide range of all types of taxes. , planes. boat= homes. . trusts ,grats. a crazy number of bank accts. ( =ith no oversight ) . law firms, acct firms, 800 page tax returns, foreign firms. art consultants. construction consultants bill paye=s, home mgmt.,vast multitude of Iles , including=foreign, and with all that you only have a combined ove=head of less that 3 million dollars.

I h=ve previously sent you the very same note that i have enclosed=again below ,this time with highlights . I wrote it to y=u over a year ago. As my acute disability ( selective me=ory) seems to have been raised as one of your concerns ,=C2 as a rule I try to memorialize things in writing in an attempt=C2 to lay out issues that I fear may later turn out to be a=problem. ie what i would and wouldn't do , - my respon=ibilities. etc and those things that are not. below you will f=nd details of things that I thought needed to be done,=C2 so that you wouldn't find yourself in the very place=where you currently find yourself. however ,you chose to defer many=C2 of my suggestions- see below -,until only weeks ago. ! you chore to defer the jpm acct. the art partnership on and on - =nto this year. and though the 60- 50 40 timber emails all carried wi=h it a clear warning that you needed to do something re personnel if=it were to stabilize,- you chose to wait.

<=div>
ONE YEAR AGO

With regard the more pressing issue I am uncertain of ju=t how to proceed. I am torn, as my very strong inclination is =ot to be involved at all . It is extremely time consuming, delicate,=fraught with many pitfall many that will make you very upset and a major p=in in the ass. I wrote you months ago that the quality of the =eople involved need to be upgraded. ( lucky for me these last =ssues arose way before the beginning of my involvement ) I am also =ware however of my overarching friendship obligations of=C2 ok, -given all the complexities who else can do it? probl=m. Your family office needs a daddy. children with go=d intentions are running around , sniping , nitpicking with little directi=n. As a stopgap measure I am suggesting , we put in Larry Delso= to take charge Everyon= would report to him. Eileen included. He would however work =or me. this is not, by a long shot my first choice as I prefer=only being responsible and standing behind my own personal wor= ( ie the word DONE will no longer be transmitted to refle=t status stated by others )

With n= commitment on my part whatsoever, to do it. So far as I have failed=C2 in my attempt in trying to think through the problem =AO creatively . My organizat=ons handling of the more complex issues I believe you might find ver= costly, very ! ( however many structures available some=risk sharing, maybe risk caps ,etc ) but would require my teams doing the work , not yours. =AO Ada should be only a trust, grat administrator. =C2 not sure what role you prefer for Eileen as you hired her initially=C2 to oversee investments. whether Rich your controller stays or =ot, is not urgent. having Tom report to a new person,- is. =AO coordination with Suydam Kathy Gregory, I would s=ggest limiting to one person. The increasing public profile needs to=be taken into consideration.

## TODAY

=AO With your acquiesence , Eileen did not report to Delso= ( he acting as a conduit directly to me), she continued to pr=vide bad info to both you ( cash flows , stock accts, structure=. sales Etc) and me. and each time with my many annoying calls=to you made immediately afterwards that she was g y !! No =ne was hired to run YOUR office until two months ago , no one was even int=rviewed and even now , Brad, a very nice man, is not even furl time,(crazy ) Hours upon hours of time need to be spent training him . a=d his new staff. Eileen followed your instructions. not mine. in fa=t she continued to ignore mine saying " but Leon said =AO" or " its on Leon's desk etc " , Y=u would become frustrated when i pointed out each instance. of her obfusca=ion. originally you were given the clear choice, but to save =oney ,you chose not to hire my team . I was hired to do the ar=hitecture, you kept your own team. with Eileen at the head. =AO instructions were given by me, detailed but ignored by her. ( e=cept in the instances where I inserted myself and personally had to do the=weeks of grunt work ),ex. jpm morgan =A0acct still not in use? That being said, If you do the cold c=lculation ,starting from where you were, to where you are currently =C2 . you have made a hell of a deal. - - negotia=ing down my original amount requested , calling upon our frien=ship and suggesting that the Carlyn mess was partially my =ault. ( though in that specific example , I had never been ask=d to do more than merely provide you the name of the most highly re=ognized atty in the field, not consulted,nor e=en asked again for my guidance along the way. ). = accepted the discount as your friend. ( by the way „srggesting now, that your Tom is now that last word on tax characteriz=tion, frankly is a bit much,-). however - that is all in the past.=C2

## In order to move forward

=C2 I would ask that you realize that very unlike yours, My =usiness is only comprised of my personal attention and my personal=C2 time . Time that I was forced to grossly overspend=on your various issues last year. . As you are my very close f=iend I will not have you participate in a bidding process that I hav= decided i will have this year for my time . (hopefully a more=fair way to allocate ) I would also ask that you keep in mind that=C2 though our deal expired months ago. (also keeping in mind , that you= understanding of the final payment terms neither reflected the emai=s or my memory, we finished it up your way. ) I have answered every =all Brad , joslin, Ada or you, have made . reviewed =ocs over and over/ until once again, I was forced to =A0insert myself strongly as I thought it dangerous not to. I mare serious dollar and time concessions last year.very serious I am w=ling to continue to accommodate some of your concerns , but I =m, under no circumstances , none, willing to spend my time for free.=its not fair. After cleaning up Carlyn's mess , which was a few weeks =nd 30 million dollars . We were both highly aware of the=dire circumstances in which you found yourself last year, and in fact due =redominately to its seriousness. and those very circumstances =

## In order to move forward (cont.)

took extra care in our negotiations . (you had claimed I had you ov=r a barrel , ( a horrible position to be in with my very close friend.), u=fortunately I fear that if you are not cautious ,in the near future,=another barrel will appear of your own design )

=A01 heard you when you said you believed i i had already been paid for the w=rk that is now required. The art style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"> partnership has fully answered ( FYI all Carlyns =our concerns art partnership and discharged that you all ref=renced my obligations is similar and more in only so. its . <=pan title. ) You will also recall that you=required that my payments be at the end of my work not at the beginning as=everyone else's .( my work was never to include hours upon hours=of training your staff). I eventually agreed, this of co=rse should make clear that the 2014 tax year that will c=ose Oct 2015 is not covered by our past agreement at all. I I pointed =his very fact out to you when I initially proposed a multi year agreement =ight out of the box. you said you preferred not. As you said ,= have produced results to date, far in excess of eve= my own exalted opinion of my projections. I have devoted a monumental amo=nt of my limited amount of time-- way, way in excess of our agreemen=. I will be fair, I am willing to roll in the amount still ou=standing from last year if that helps .. However, As my best s=udent , and my only one, you are now capable of doing mo=t, if not all, of the required work yourself. I can put =y whiteboard away when you come to eat and just have fun, trade stories,. =hare moments ideas etc. . I am of course always availab=e to guide you as a friend if you choose that route . always . It wi=l take a great deal of your time , but you will not have to sp=nd any more money on mine .

We are scheduled to meet fri at 430 =C2, I leave at 5 am sat morning.
