n June and then again Sept, we bot= agreed to a 50% of phaidon payout., then only after weeks, when you delayed
any detailed discussion of money wanting to give the issue a thoughtful resp=nse ( which I fully understand ) . you
unilaterally changed changed our agreement.. 5m would be reserved for the future ? . and out of=the remaining 15m
,? i would receive only a third. ( note : I'm=confident that both the debt , and the artspa=e investment will also lead to
a write off of another 30 m. plus=C2 ) In my dining room ,you were surprised when I said that i require most people to
pay their advisory fee up front so that I am assured =hat I will be properly compensated for my work when strategies
are implemented . you may recall that you appeared offended a=d said " are you suggesting that i would go back on
my word " I said no ,=of course not ! you are my closest of friends ,but my experience is that=C2 when amounts get
large, people tend to get unhappy when it actually comes time for them to pay
I included in this letter the email i sent to you on April 15, tre day i was examining your returns It laid out my
understanding of the compensation for a transaction of the magnitude to the penny of the one just completed. though
the number was great it was clear. When it appeared that the details could now be worked out I was the first to say , it
is too mu=h money, however.
From day zero I proposed to dis=ount to 50 - 60 million the fair price of the transactio= just completed . including
Ph=idon.. though this amount was already substantially less=than our agreed and negotiated formula. - I was never
told that this =AO was out of range. in fact, alternative methods of payment . plane, =r an -in-kind payment were
discussed ( ie including keeping the 30m portion of fee outstanding till March=) ,I provided as you specifically
requested a detailed step b= step execution plan and reviewed all documents that i was given access to.=( Phaidon
was not forthcom=ng ) in order to make my many corrections . =1 was then told that Alansaspan> involvement
warranted a discount . Even in the best of li=ht , though it is beyond question that not one time in the three ye=rs of
his retainer has he ever proposed a unique idea. (includin= any wayt to deal=with the use issue on debras<hpan>
death ,or even the most basic review of your largest asset by far =AO, the BRH agreement. ) O.K. - lets say he made a
contribution to the plan=and stretch reality beyond the pale and say it was 50 %. though no =ne could posit such a
large amount unless they were wearing a brightly colored clown suit. , the payment associated with the deal was
=nown . It had both sent in writing and spoken about on the phone numer=us times , a detailed execution plan was
provided . then an= only then after all was laid out for the group I was told that after a number o= conversations with
brad karp<=span> that a total of only 20m would be paid , (and even that was more than originally contemplated ) for
both transactions . Leon I feel 1= was remarkably unfair. I wondered whether brad even knew of o=r prior
agreement.? I called him and he said he was never told.?, I wou=d 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. If the transactio=s were never
consummated , i would not be owed a dime, however , the expecte= fee was known up front. , the detailed step by
step plan was fo=lowed and overseen by me, the amount that I had requested befor= the transaction was even begun,
and had already been heavily discou=ted, out of friendship, from our agreement . I believe the decision re onl= paying
20 m has frankly , left me felling quite une=sy.
