From: Deborah Pechet Quinan Sent: Wednesday, December 20, =017 5:22 PM To: Max Kohlenberg Subject: RE: Estimated Tax Payment =oucher Needed Hi Max, 2 EFTA_R1_01795225 EFTA02605004 I'm sorry my recollection differs from yours =e the Mass estimate. I have a clear recollection of discussing it =ith you and coming away from that discussion under the distinct =mpression that if they decided to pay a Massachusetts estimate you were =menable to adding it to the current federal payment. I =ommunicated this to Noam as well. This approach made sense in our =iscussion as it is consistent to pay a Mass and fed estimate at the =ame time. I cannot speak for the lack of payments earlier this =ear but if you could see your way clear to accommodating this much =maller tax payment distribution as well under the same theory as the =ne applied to the federal estimate I would be very appreciative.

In your prior requests and in our =onversation on Monday no mention was made of paying estimated =assachusetts taxes — only federal tax payments were =iscussed. When I received the federal tax voucher from Matt I =oted that in the comments section of the voucher he recommended to Noam =nd Valeria that they make a MA payment, but I confirmed with Matt this =orning that his message was addressed to them, not to me. I have =t no time agreed to make an estimated payment to MA and doing so would =ot be consistent with what I believe we agreed upon in our call on =onday (i.e. no further distributions of principal without some =easonable disclosure). It is dismaying to learn that no federal or MA estimated =axes were paid by Noam and Valeria in 2017, as well as to hear from =att that Noam and Valeria have not been responsive to Matt or Nick when =hey've attempted to address tax planning with Noam and Valeria =ver the course of the year. I have confirmed with Bainco that the federal voucher =nd payment were mailed to the IRS today. Max A.

Please be aware that in raising cash to =ake this payment from the trust, it may create income that might be =axed to Noam due to the trust distribution.
