known . It had both sent in writing and spoken about on the phone numerous times ,_a detailed
execution plan was provided . then and only then after all was laid out for the group I was told that after a
number of conversations with brad karp that only 20m would be paid , (and even that was more than
originally contemplated ) for both transactions . I feel It was remarkably unfair. Did brad even know of
our prior agreement.? I called him and he said he was never told.?, I would ask that you I and Brad karp
sit together if you think it would be helpful. . I would like to send him this email, with your consent of
course. Ifthe transactions were never consummated , i would not be owed a dime, however , the price
was known up front. , the detailed step by step plan was followed and overseen by me, the price that had
been requested before the transaction was begun, and had Iready heavily discounted, out of friendship,
from our agreement . I believe the decision re paying only 20 m has frankly left me felling quite uneasy.

Last year you asked , for my help I told you I preferred not as we would be better off having no financial

agreement was ignored. and im not sure how to respond.
