Dear Noam, and Valeria,</=>

We did not disclose any financial or tax infor=ation to Max Kohlenberg in his telephone call to Matt Mazotas earlier this=morning. Max stated that he had received a call from Mr. Kahn inquiring about=Max's ability to make funds available for tax payments. =AO Max therefore called Matt to see if we had any information about the=amounts of tax payments that were due. Matt informed Max that he did not have any information about tax pay=ents, and that we did not have enough information that would be necessary =o calculate the tax payments that would be due on 4/17. In short, we did not provide any financial =r tax information to Max Kohlenberg.

Please note that it is a routine procedure for=various members of the advisory team be able to communicate with each othe= to collaborate for the best interests of each client. Toward that objective, you signed our standard authorization form al=owing us to communicate directly with your other advisers that is valid un=il April, 15, 2019. This would include advisors like Bainco, RIW, Max and more recently =ou authorized us to talk with Mr. Kahn.

Before we continue with any further work for y=ur 2017 tax returns, would you please sign and return our engagement lette= that was included in the package that was sent to you in January.

Best regards,
Nick

I understand from Richard Kahn that you informed Max=Kohlenberg about the financial information that we provided to you yesterd=y. Plainly, this is quite improper. Kohlenberg has no right to=know anything that I do not personally provide him with. This is a serious breach of confidentiality. Could y=u please inform me -- and me alone! -- of the amount of taxes that are due==u>
