Dear Richard,
I have conferred with =ene Landy and he has already reached out to an attorney to whom he =ishes to refer the
Bainco claim as we will not be able to handle =t. Gene would be happy to speak with you. He can be reached =t
or his direct dial
Please let me know your =houghts regarding the trustee issue I raised below.
Best,
Deborah

Lawrence Krauss will =ot qualify as an independent trustee to replace Max unless he qualifies =nder the terms of
the trust. The trust provides as follows in =aragraph 8.2(a) on page 5:
"An independent =rustee is an individual or institution who has no beneficial interest =n the trust, who is a
professional trustee, investment advisor or =anager, investment banker, accountant or lawyer, and who is not related =r
subordinate to my husband or any of my children as defined in section =72(c) of the Internal Revenue Code."
Please give some =onsideration to naming a successor who qualifies as a professional =rustee. A bank or trust
company with trust powers, rather than an =ndividual, may be ideal in this situation especially as there is a risk =f a
lawsuit by the remainder beneficiaries against the independent =rustee after Noam's passing. Again, an interview
process =or a change such as this one is important and should not be rushed.
With regard to the =ainco claim, I am not qualified to negotiate a settlement in this =atter. I will discuss this
with Gene to determine whether we =till have a conflict, and if not, to whom we might refer this matter =nternally. If
we still have a conflict we will identify outside =ounsel for Noam.
Best,
Deborah

deborah,
noam has decided to replace max with =awrenence Krauss, a friend and highly respected scientist, as =rustee.
as we discussed if harry agrees, this should =ut the current issue to rest. he would like gene landy to =ecommend a
person re a lawsuit against bain, but I thought the first =tep and noam agreed would be a call to bain from you in the
hopes of a =ettlement. If he has to file a lawsuit he understands he =ill need a different firm as Gene said he thought
your firm had a =onflict. thanks for your help. I certainly want none of =hese steps to impede the delivery of the
account =tatements. thx
