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 expected fee was known up front. , the
detailed step by step plan was followed and overseen by me, the amount that I had requested before the
transaction had even begun, had already been heavily discounted, out of friendship, . I believe the decision re
only paying 20m has frankly , left me felling quite uneasy. and colors the view about the Athene or
Rothschild transaction.

glad to see you are personally on the mend - as well as the fence. -- As you know i dread money
discussions with you-- however -we should address the issue of what you would like to do moving forward. re-
do family office, accounting trusts , estate and apollo agreements . Along with your " payment " last year
we agreed . no further obligations on each side. yes, i continued to moan. I realize that though Ive done
quite a lot this year already , it is not your responsibility. . As you often like to remind me- you've paid a
great deal of money to date. that being said - If you want my involvement moving foward, I suggest
you pay my regular | fee of 40 m. 20 now. 20 on completion or as per the invoice issues at the end of last
year pay 30 all at once. -
To help out .im keenly aware of your current cash position. so I will consider an in-kind payment - _ real
estate ( Miami ), ,art , financing of my new plane (allows you to spread over years or of course the preferred
cash. Get rid of Castrucci,it is over a year since the same story of findign the right guy at the top. you
entire accounting needs to be re done. , office downsized, reporting re done. meetings to recitify, categlorize
, the various docs re appollo , rowen , suydam, alan etc. Brad can direct investment guys, ( hopefully) my
people will be in your office for a few months . reorganizing IF you decide not to pay I fully understand, as I
m sure you will re my no longer spending any serious time on these things.
Of course re any non financial issues , I am always there for you and will continue to be the best friend I can
be.
Steve jobs said that everyday he woke up , and asked himself , if he knew he was going to die tomorow , would
he do the same thing that he had planned for the day- he wanted to check that he was doing things that he
really wanted to. after three days of getting back an answer of no, he would change what he was going to do. .
he also did not believe in LONG term plans. I dont think either one of us will figure out what we want to do
long term so my thinking is that we should try to have fun everyday, and welcome serendipity.
I think another trust and estate lawyer should be brought in to deal with the issues of how not to allow your
family to get screwed by your partners on death. Alan, for years told me that paul weiss had drawn the
docs so no issue but when recently pushed by my new fire drill he asked akin to draft .?!| PLease ask brad
about why he keeps talking about flow. I dont know what he means, its so silly.. this is only about money
control and protection .
Iam leaving monday night now. free to speak in the afternoon
