Can you add those two emails to the existing emails on Exhibit 2?  I think we should file a complete exhibit. 

Thanks

Angela, 

Can you add the two emails listed below (Gary’s from Aug. 23 and John’s response from the same date) and add them to 

Exhibit 2?  That’s what we should file with our notice of errata. 

After you’ve finished, you can just send the exhibit to John and I for review. 

Thanks, 

Andy

John, 

I am writing to advise that a sales contract was signed yesterday for Mr. Brunst’s Del Media property for $1.925M.  I am 

guessing that net proceeds will be ~$1.815m.   

The only contingency is inspection, which should be done in about 15 days. Closing is set for Oct 22. The buyer is an 

unknown, arm’s length person/trust named Esser Family Trust.  Obviously if you contact Esser there is a risk of scaring 

them off, so please use your discretion in checking them out.  Please confirm that you have no objection with our going 

forward with this sale.  

Thank you, 

Gary S. Lincenberg | Principal

Gary and Ariel,

Regarding your client’s real property located at 5830 E. Calle Del Media, Phoenix, AZ, the 

government will agree to recognize the full amount of your recorded lien on condition that the 

government be allowed to approve the sale of the property (which approval will not be 

unreasonably withheld) and any proceeds in excess of your recorded lean will then be deposited 

into a government account to be treated as substitute res in the criminal forfeiture 

proceeding. Please let us know your position.

Thank you,

John
