To: Connie Collin sworth Larry Cohen From: je rey Sent Wed 7/9/2014 8:35:12 PM Subject Re: torn mcgraw at JPM. Ray Russo , 16 person at Paul Weiss. greg ezring , securities law . I suggest you call Brad Karp, and tell him you are calling at my suggestion, Brad is the managing partner. OF course you should continue to consult with anyone you like, I didn't mean to suggest otherwise , however I thought to actually move things along that have stagnated for 5 weeks , and given our 7 week deadline to flush out issues I thought you might be further ahead talking to people that have already thought about these things. On Wed Jul 9 2014 at 4:20 PM Connie Collin worth ote: Jeffrey, I plan to continue to consult with Morgan Lewis as counsel for the foundation. You are of course, free to use whoever you want as your counsel. I am interested in talking with JPM and Paul Weiss to get their perspectives and insights from the conversations you have had with them to date. Please provide me with their contact information. Also, Bill said there is a memo that was prepared by counsel that you shared with him during your meeting in June that he expected we would have read. Larry doesn't have a copy, so it would be helpful if you could send me a copy. Thanks, efertALL Connie R.

Bill and I made changes to liras chart on june 3rd.. I suggest tax expert at JPM new york, securities expertise at Paul weiss. The woman in charge of NPT has thought through some of these issues , but again not at scale which has its own complications. I like you am confident that we can navigate through, Id greatly prefer to use people with who I can speak shorthand. . As I told Larry I m considering using Cathy Ruemmler to be the point legal person on this coast. Someone will have to coordinate with the counsels of the various donors who will have many questions I m sure. please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
