From: Noam Chomsky To: "jeffrey E." <[email protected]>, Valeria Chomsky Subject: Fwd: Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2017 14:43:11 +0000 Inline-Images: image001.gif I'm confused about the highlighted passage. Is that a matter of law, or a matter of agreement among me and the beneficiaries. Would it be possible at this point for me to revoke/dissolve the trust, and have the assets return to me? Noam Forwarded message From: Deborah Pechet Quinan Date: Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 6:59 AM Subject: RE: To: Richard Kahn Cc: "Noam Chomsk Dear Richard, , "Valeria Chomsky Lawrence Krauss will not qualify as an independent trustee to replace Max unless he qualifies under the terms of the trust. The trust provides as follows in paragraph 8.2(a) on page 5: "An independent trustee is an individual or institution who has no beneficial interest in the trust, who is a professional trustee, investment advisor or manager, investment banker, accountant or lawyer, and who is not related or subordinate to my husband or any of my children as defined in section 672(c) of the Internal Revenue Coder Please give some consideration to naming a successor who qualifies as a professional trustee. A bank or trust company with trust powers, rather than an individual, may be ideal in this situation especially as there is a risk of a lawsuit by the remainder beneficiaries against the independent trustee after Noam's passing. Again, an interview process for a change such as this one is important and should not be rushed. With regard to the Bainco claim, I am not qualified to negotiate a settlement in this matter. I will discuss this with Gene to determine whether we still have a conflict, and if not, to whom we might refer this matter internally. If we still have a conflict we will identify outside counsel for Noam.

If he has to file a lawsuit he understands he will need a different firm as Gene said he thought your firm had a conflict. thanks for your help. I certainly want none of these steps to impede the delivery of the account statements. thx Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor New York, NY 10022 EFTA00964061 tel fax cell On Nov 6, 2017, at 4:24 PM, Deborah Pechet Quinan <a wrote: Dear Noam, Richard has requested that I speak with Max regarding some issues that Max raised to him today and that we have discussed.
