Subject: RE: LDB 2011 LLC Rich--you are misreading my email. I was not inferring anything--just trying to understand the status of the LLC valuation to complete the restructuring. I did not speak with Scott. He left me a voicemail. As you know, I already told him that you were responsible for valuations which is why I have not returned his call. Original Message From: Richard Joslin Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 9:25 AM To: Ada Clapp Cc: Eileen Alexanderson; Lawrence Delson ( 1 ); jeffrey E. Subject: RE: LDB 2011 LLC To give you an another update - Scott and David were brought up to speed on Phaidon and since then the plan worked out with Empire was to have the Empire appraisal team work to finalize the half dozen valuations for BFP before starting on LDB 2011 LLC. Empire does not have bandwith to assign two teams to our account. The accounting group is gathering documentation and performing its valuation preliminaries on LDB 2011 LLC assets and the process developed has been strongly supported by Empire. Given that I am conversing daily with the Empire team and we are exchanging reports, I have a clear grasp of the status. Your last question seems to infer I am not organized or on top of this effort. I am not privy to your conversation with Scott and I would have preferred that you indicate to him that this was my responsibility and ask that he speak to me directly. I will speak to him today.

I am not really sure I understand your response to his email. Who is reviewing the engagement letter-Alan? It sounded like Scott has moved forward with the valuation despite the lack of engagement letter. Is that correct? Thanks.

I have spoke to Alan about the scope of the valuation and once the BFP LP valuation team is set to focus on LDB 2011 LLC we will finalize this. I have asked Alan to join me to follow up with you regarding our last phone conversation. I will get times from Alan and circle back.

We had sent the engagement letter for the LDB work back in May (5/30). Alan thinks he may have signed his part and sent it over for Leo's signature. I just wanted to follow up and get the status of the letter. Let me know timing on its return so we can be official in moving forward. EFTA00626117 Thanks for your assistance.

No issue about willingness. Original Message From: Nammacher, Scott [mailto: Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 4:39 PM To: Richard Joslin Cc: Ada Clapp Subject: RE: LDB 2011 LLC Richard, This is really nothing they seem willing to go to audit on to defend, and it is being used as part of a transaction. Also, the value is a material part of the likely total value of the LLC. Ada agreed with me, that it makes sense to get a more formal valuation. Are they not willing to do a formal valuation?
