With your full knowledge I paid out 8 mil to my staff before june, . so i guess I can safely assume that
after consideration of all the things I did for the entire past year separate and apart from your unique free
"after care" concept. , what you thought was ultimately fair was the contribution of 5 million to a
foundation and a total of 2 million dollars to me.

josh's arrival cut short our needed conversation. I understand we have a difference of opinion. friends
sometimes disagree, I shook on the 20 so you have no further obligation, none, I am willing to have
brad karp hear both sides. as my view , you and i had an agreement. on phaidon /publishing, and then a
long standing what you say is 28 , which is correct AFTer TAx. , 37 pre. . that was our numbers. I was
clear what i thought the transactions were worth. far less than full. alan etc. , had you said i will pay
you only 20 . i would have said ill pass. you never told me that 50-60 the number that i put on the
table at the very beginning was not right. you asked that i lay out my plan step by step. and what i believe
would have been the fair thing to do is say to me, I will pay you only 20 if you do as i ask, not tell me
for the first time only after i laid it all out . had it not been you, i would have required payment in escrow.
BEFORE fyi the reason I sent you an invoice so that if you decided that you wanted me to continue
this year . it would be applied to last years income. I think today was a beginiing for you. I am glad I
will meet wendy the 23, rd, . separate and aprt from being your sounding board for personal issues, I do
not see my involvment moving forward.
