We are very, very concerned that y=u are not understanding and not getting help in understanding what is happeni=g with your finances. Your responses below only increase our concern. The three of us are not able to serve as financial advisors. We urge you strongly to speak directly with Max so that he can clarify what he says in the Memo and explain what the Promissory Note language means. Just to give you one example of ou= concern: You focus on one phrase: that the interest will be "=t the highest rate in effect." But you are taking those words out of =ontext. We really don't think we should be trying to explain these d=tails to you, but to try to summarize: this phrase applied to the double nature of the loan—the Marital Trust had to borrow money from Persh=ng to make the loan to you, until the Lexington house was sold. The phrase you quote applies only to that brief period, and has no impact on the interest accruing now or in the future. We can see why focusing on those s=x words would make you angry. But the six words mean nothing in and of themse=ves (i.e., what rate is "in effect"?). But instead of doi=g the logical thing—getting the full information—you are just so angry th=t you refuse to find out the truth. Again, this is just one example of=where you are stating conclusions based on faulty or incomplete information. There are explanations for your other issues as well (how the DNI is paid to you, how the interest payments can be made, etc) but rather than us trying to summarize the information for you here, we think it would make more sense for you to discuss them with the people who set all of this up, in the context of a broader conversation. Reading your response only redoubles our sense that you are simply misreading important elements of your entire financial situation, and that you are making big decisions based on faulty information. We feel that you have painted yourself into a corner, in which you arrive at the worst possible interpretation of complex legal language, and 3 EFTA_R1_01880570 EFTA02644658
