Re: Fw:

Rich-here's a summary of what we've been talking about. 1. You will have a two year contract at the salary of 400k/yr. 2. We will continue to make charitable contributions of 60k/yr to your son's school. 3. If you are terminated without cause we will payout the remaining term on the contract, but in no event will your payout be less than 12 mos. 4. After a termination, at our option, we can lower the payout by continuing to make the charitable contribution. 5. Even though we didn't discuss it, it probably makes sense for there to be some sort of mitigation clause where, once you get settled in a follow-up situation, our obligation to continue to pay goes away or goes down. Is this accurate? Any additional thoughts? Thx, b Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I want to have a job until my kids turn 18. 29 month. If I get fired from family office without cause in 6 months I want to continue to work somewhere say Apollo tax. I'd like to get paid until end of 29 months. after that, standard severance. 12 months. minimum. I don't want to be fired in 5 months and have disincentive not to work.

Don't understand all in email but after our phone conversation I believe you and I are on the same page just want to close the loop with Idb which I can do Tuesday. For your own protection I'd string out the rsm guys until early next week until Leon and I can talk Rich, you're a good man; don't forget that!

We are on same page. RSM bridge is burned. The practice leader called and wanted an answer. I trust you and hope for the best with Leon.

What a mess; but for the time being I think we're better with him than without him.... Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

One less stress for you. You have my promise and commitment. Let's build!
