Alan, you may want to make Judge Colin aware that the Order you wrote is incorrect and does not state what was on the record.  In the order you wrote you stated,   “AGREED ORDER ON ELIOT BERNSTEIN'S MOTION FOR EMERGENCY INTERIM DISTRIBUTIONS” THIS CAUSE having come before the Court on August 19, 2014, upon Eliot Bernstein's Motion for Emergency Interim Distributions ("the Motion"), to pay the private school tuition costs for his children. The Court, having reviewed the Motion and heard argument of counsel…”

If I am not mistaken and I believe the record will reflect that Judge Colin did not hear my Motion for Emergency Distribution because it was at a UMC hearing and he SPECIFICALLY said he could not hold an EVIDENTIARY hearing for Interim Distributions in UMC and take testimony etc.  Judge Colin even asked John Pankauski if he could hear and John told him he could not have this type of evidentiary hearing at UMC.  Judge Colin then basically advised us to reach agreement or we would have to set a hearing for the Emergency Interim Distributions to be heard as an evidentiary hearing and not at UMC hearing and said it would serve best if we could agree and not have to do that.   Therefore, your language is wholly incorrect that you had Judge Colin sign and I am asking that you immediately contact him to notify him of this major error in your language and send him a copy of this email as well with all attachments for his review and a copy of the transcript of the UMC so he can see we clearly did not have a hearing on my motion for emergency distributions.  As no signed agreement was reached necessary to make the Welfare Payments to be later deducted from any future distributions to the To Be Determined beneficiaries when Judge Colin rules  who the beneficiaries are to make distributions to.  We will now need to set an Evidentiary Hearing to hear the matters or hear my new Emergency Motion to Compel the Trustee to Make the Welfare Payments.  I do not think Judge Colin will want to have his signed order with misstatements from what actually took place.  Please let me know how you want to proceed on this as soon as possible.  Additionally, when I reviewed the proposed Order for the first time and you told me there were two identical copies, I did not see that they were not identical but in fact two separate orders for two different cases and I do not believe we ever spoke or agreed to having two Orders for two different cases but we can check the transcript when you get it, which reminds me you were going to send everyone a copy when you got it so we could make sure the language matched the stated intent of proposed agreement.  Another point the Order appears wrong is that I recall Judge Colin stating that you could not state that all the “Beneficiaries” had agreed with this and he even pointed out to you that he had not ruled on who the beneficiaries were yet, so how did you leave that in and have him sign that when no beneficiaries could have agreed since there are factually no legally qualified beneficiaries at this time.  He may also want to void his order for that reason as well.  Again, the record will reflect the Judges own statements in that regard.  Also, once you refused to change the language on the 19tt of August, even after you knew we bought more time from the school to try and work this out you took a stance that you were not budging and gave me a final offer to either sign or not.  I then took your advice and tried to contact the lawyers you suggested to help me understand if your language was what was agreed to as it appeared to be missing and in fact opposite language appeared.  I have spoken to several so far who gave me some advice and you even accepted some of those changes but refuse others or to even discuss them.  I am still waiting for Brian O’Connell and Peter Feaman to reply to my letter to them below as they were there through most of the discussions regarding what the agreement was to say and hope they can make me see the light that your language in the draft agreement somehow is what we agreed on in Court.  I just can’t understand why with all the time we bought from the school that gave us more time to talk and make the agreement right and crystal clear on what we agreed to in principle in court for the best interest of the children, you refused to cooperate and gave me a take it as is or leave it approach and started sending out emails calling me paranoid to everyone you asked to review the document and help me, all which does not appear in the best interests of anyone, especially the minor children who have now been removed from school after the second day as indicated in the email from the school below for the failure to reach an agreement to release the requested Welfare Payments.   I called Brian early on the morning of the 20th of August since he was helping us try and come to terms in Court and have not heard back from him on this to see if he agrees with you or I and I will let you know when and if he contacts me.  I have not heard back from Peter either but I will try them both again tomorrow but I am not sure what and if anything can be done for the children at this point to get enrolled.   Eliot

Dietz @ Rock It Cargo USA; Marc R. Garber Esq. @ Flaster Greenberg P.C. ([email protected]); Marc R. Garber Esq. ([email protected]); Marc R. Garber Esq. @ Flaster Greenberg P.C. ([email protected]); ''[email protected]' ([email protected])'; 'Eliot Bernstein ([email protected])' Subject: FORGOT ATTACHMENTS ON LAST EMAIL - Bernstein Children School Payments -  Sorry guys, I am tired after dentist and forgot. 

Brian and Peter, 

On Alan’s advice to talk with several people to get comfortable with his proposed agreement language before signing it 

he suggested the two of you as part of that group.  Alan suggested that I ask your opinions on his final proposed 

agreement language attached herein and he refuses to make any changes to that since yesterday and he is telling me it 

covers everything agreed to in Court.  I have attached also the original proposed agreement Alan sent over after court 

with my hand notes, which was supposed to reflect exactly what we agreed to in Court and ready to sign.  After talking 

with some of the people, concerns were raised that appear to violate the stated intent of all parties that worked 

together that day in Court to get a draft prepared on what we all thought we agreed on.  Brian, I know Alan has copied 

you in on the prior messages and so I left a message for you yesterday morning so we could discuss these issues and try 

to get to a timely resolution but I have not heard back yet and was in the dentist again for 4.5 hours today and may have 

missed a call. 

When we were at court we agreed that the proposed agreement and order would have two issues resolved that I stated 

repeatedly to Brian, Alan and the Judge throughout all of our discussions that I could not agree to anything without 

them fully resolved in both the orders and agreement.  The Judge, Alan, Brian and I agreed these two items would be 

properly addressed in the proposed order and agreement that Alan was going to type up after court and send to the 

parties for review for the first time and signature.  Brian and Peter, as you may recall when we first started negotiating 

Alan did not have a copy of his documents and we waited for almost an hour while he frantically searched for them, 

including leaving the Court to go to his car.  Alan still didn’t have all his documents on his return and so we only had his 

ipad screen to view some and the agreed modifications were written on the backs of some of his documents in scribbled 

hand notes that were barely legible and no one got copies of those.  Brian you even joked with Alan how hard it was to 

read his handwritings. 

After we agreed the two issues were resolved, Brain, Alan and I went before the Judge and we discussed those two 

items and agreed they would not be a problem and the Judge had Alan read into the record the proposed language and 

we discussed certain of the items and the judge made suggestions and Alan was to take his ipad Order and his changes 

to his documents that only he had a copy of and get them all ready to be sent to us for review and signed by 5mp.  In 

good faith Alan was going to go back to his office, as time was pressing and the children’s school was in jeopardy by end 

of day and draft up the language from his notes for us to review for the first time as  a complete set of orders and 

agreement that would include all of our changes and those the judge added orally and if everything was as agreed, 

Candice and I would sign and get money that day paid to the school according to Alan.  

ISSUE #1 ‐ PAYMENTS TO SAINT ANDREWS COULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS TAKING DISTRIBUTIONS TO 

BENEFICIARIES AT THIS TIME ANYWHERE IN THE AGREEMENT AND ORDER.  WE ALL AGREED. 

Brian, we agreed with Alan in our discussions you were helping me in at the Court and then with the Judge that the 

agreement and orders would be drafted so that in no way would there be any language that could be construed to have 

“distributions” being made to any party at this time and not until such time that the beneficiaries are determined by the

Court at a later date, this due to the fraud that has occurred throwing who the beneficiaries are into question. Then, we 

agreed that only after the Court decides who the beneficiaries are, which may take months, the payments made to the 

school would then and only then be deducted from a future distribution that would be made to a legally qualified 

beneficiary.  This concern was to alleviate me taking “distributions” that could be construed as fraudulent and to 

knowingly improper parties, as I allege the other parties already did commit this fraud while knowing the beneficiaries 

were unknown and their distributions were to improper parties.  As the beneficiaries remain unknown at this time due 

to the fraud that took place and we all agreed on that, including Alan, the agreement and order cannot be construed in 

any way to even suggest that I or my children took a distribution at this time.   

I was stunned when I received Alan’s first draft of the proposed agreement and order and saw language that absolutely 

confuted the agreement we made at Court in regard to Issue #1. 

In the original proposed agreement attached herein that Alan sent me we had to negotiate for a long time and wholly 

modify Alan’s draft language to take out the part where Alan stated “Further, to the extent that it is determined that 

these monies have been distributed to Eliot Bernstein individually rather than to his children” as this clearly violated 

what the Court and all of us agreed on and actually states the children would be getting distributions.   

I could not believe this and I reminded Alan that I would then be committing fraud this way, as it is clear from that 

language that the children took “distributions.”  This was very bothersome to see that his proposed language violated 

what we all agreed on in Court.  With only a few hours to try and satisfy the school we worked through that one instance 

out and in the next proposal that language was removed.  However, in the time I have had to review the document with 

now, it has now become apparent that the word “distribution” could be construed to mean “distribution,” not a 

payment to later be deducted from the TBD beneficiaries’ distributions, in several other places.   

I suggested to overcome this problem of any confusion with the word distribution globally in the agreement and order 

that we simply define the term “distribution” at the beginning of each document to state what exactly it means so that it 

cannot be misconstrued anywhere but Alan refused to negotiate on that approach.   

Alan is determined to have the word “distribution” undefined throughout the agreement leaving it violating what we 

agreed to in Court and with Alan and leaving exposure everywhere to misinterpretation.  The change in the agreement 

without defining the word “distribution” or taking it out altogether and replacing it with some other word would still 

have to be fixed in any new proposed agreement or else it violates the spirit and good intent we all agreed on for Issue 

#1.  Alan was charged by the Court in making sure this could not happen through clearly defined language in the 

agreement that Alan was going to draft and send over, including all the changes the Judge wanted inserted that were 

orally made.   

To avoid any chance of implied consent that I took distributions like others did that I have stated were fraudulent, it 

must be changed to one of these two ways to resolve that.  From Alan’s final proposed language this proposed 

agreement could still be construed as “distributions” were taken, in several spots as my hand notes indicate.  This 

language as we agreed would have to be bullet proof for me to sign and not have a single instance where it could be 

misconstrued.  

I was also stunned that after Alan knew we bought another day after suggesting we send the proposed Order to the 

school at 5pm we instead called the school and bought a day to try and work things out but when we could not resolve 

some of this a bit later in the evening Alan refused to make any other changes to fix the problems.

I ask both of you if you think the language in the proposed agreement regarding Issue #1 leaves no possibility anywhere 

in the document for misinterpretation or debate that NO DISTRIBUTIONS are being made to any party at this time and 

will only be deducted from the TBD beneficiaries’ distributions after the Court determines who they are. 

ISSUE #2 – LIMIT THE SCOPE AND AMOUNTS OF ANY RELEASES FROM LIABILITIES, INDEMNIFICATIONS AND 

HOLD HARMLESS LANGUAGE TO THE AGREEMENT AND THE AMOUNT PAID TO THE SCHOOL.  WE ALL 

AGREED. 

Brian we agreed with Alan and Judge Colin then agreed on the record that the release of liability, hold harmless and 

indemnification language would also be limited in scope and amount to the singular act of making a payment to the 

school and that amount only.  After several attempted resolutions I proposed very clear language limiting these items as 

agreed but Alan would only agree to his language in his final proposed language and again refused to talk about this very 

complex yet highly important legal language in another take it or leave it negotiation.  I am not sure how or why Alan 

refuses to limit these when that is what was stated would be in the agreement and order but this does not seem in the 

beneficiaries best interests and may leave them exposed in language that benefits Ted and Alan very well and almost 

tries to gain them unlimited release from these items and lawsuit perhaps even those they are already defendants in. 

Alan’s final language on limiting the exposures appears to leave them wide open instead, 

“Eliot and Candice Bernstein individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, 

Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionals shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making 

the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School, and (ii) the Trustee and his professionals shall be indemnified and 

held harmless from suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob 

and Joshua for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   

Alan’s language in (i) appears to state that for making the payments Ted and Alan would have absolutely no liability to 

anyone for anything and in unlimited amount.  For liability to be limited as the Judge stated it would, it would need to 

state something to the effect, 

…shall have absolutely no liability specifically and only in regard to making the above payments to Saint Andrews school 

and limiting this release of liability to no more than the $133,500 paid.  

In number (ii) Alan’s language wholly leaves indemnification and held harmless from suit open ended and not limited to

scope and amount at all.  It appears to again state that for making the payment to Saint Andrews he will be indemnified 

and held harmless from suit by Eliot and Candice for anything. 

We proposed to Alan to limit that this language to try and resolve his language to meet the agreed intent, 

…and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided in no event shall such indemnified amount exceed 

$133,350 for these payments to Saint Andrews school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural 

guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua. 

After further discussions with those helping me any final agreement might better protect the beneficiaries by stating 

“and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit specifically and only in regard to the making of the payment;

I am not sure if that language would be strong enough to limit the liabilities etc. so I ask what you think or any changes 

you might suggest to Alan’s or my proposed language to make this happen.  As you can see from the email below, as of 

tomorrow my children are not allowed back in school. 

I also stated to Alan that any agreement now proposed due to the missed enrollment timeframe would have to have 

language that stated that the agreement in whole was null and void if they could not be re‐enrolled and payment 

accepted.  

As you know Alan has suggested you guys help me get comfortable with his agreement language as I am not 

represented by counsel.  If you are satisfied that Alan’s current language in the agreement satisfies your understanding 

of what was agreed to in Court regarding Issue #1 and #2, please call me immediately and help me understand how our 

concerns are invalid and that the agreement is ok to sign as is, as I am trying desperately to get my children back in 

school if possible.  To say the least, my wife is super depressed over this as the kids attended the last two days at school 

and now cannot go tomorrow and the kids are very sad and depressed over this too.  I am looking at other solutions 

since Ted as Alleged Trustee and Alan refuse to make the welfare payment and will not negotiate anything since 

yesterday so I am open to anything you suggest.  Brian, I did speak to you about the possibility that Ted would breach his 

duties as is a pattern and practice of his and if the Estate could somehow work this out and I believe you stated you 

would get back to me a few days ago so please let’s discuss that tomorrow, as you can see from the Saint Andrew school 

letter below, there is virtually no time left to continue to beat a dead horse that refuses to negotiate these simple 

clarifying points. 

Thank you both so very much for your time and efforts to help resolve this mess caused by the delays in my inheritance 

due to others frauds and lack of cooperation.  Eliot

Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein, 

I trust that we are being explicitly clear that until we have both the funds that are in arrears and the funds for the 14‐15 

school year, that the boys will not be allowed to attend classes. Simply put, they are not currently enrolled and therefore 

can not be attending classes under any circumstances. 

While we are in receipt of the signed order, the Headmaster, CFO, Business Manager and I have discussed this matter at 

length, and, as we have communicated, this is not sufficient for Saint Andrew's. 

Again, please help us avoid a potentially embarrassing situation of having to ask the boys to leave campus. They are not 

to return for classes until such time that Saint Andrew's has executed their Re‐Enrollment Contracts.

Alan to clarify your statement below, I asked for these payments several times over the last year and half to the formerremoved trustees Spallina and Tescher, to them  as counsel to Ted as ALLEGED Trustee and Ted directly and they werenot made.  I have alleged this was part of an extortion of my family whereby the Welfare payments would not be madeby the trustees unless I took them as  illegal distributions to  improper parties, which again  is what you tried today andthen tried to get global liability and indemnification protections for unlimited amounts and purposes for merely makingthe required Welfare Payments to the school.  You may try to twist this and call me paranoid as you now publically have,to make  it  look  like  I have  failed my  three minor  children but  it  is  the  Trustee  that  is  responsible  for making  thesepayments, not I.  Again, payments were made in the past by Theodore for our family needs out of Shirley’s Trust and heeven stated he would later take them off any future distributions and he did that with no agreements or any release of anything, I am not sure why now we have to do anything different, I am not even sure  if “distributions” can  legally bemade to unknown beneficiaries at this time and they should not just be called Welfare Payments to be deducted from either  Eliot  or  his  Children  future  distributions,  as  no  one  has  disputed  that me  or  my  children  will  be  ultimatebeneficiaries.  Again,  I would prefer  if  you have  your  counsel  that will be  representing  you as Respondent and Defendant  in  thesematters respond to this email.

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell Subject: FW: Agreement and Orders  Alan in response to your email below, I have been looking at this complex legal document created today in court on the backs of pages on several different documents, in handwriting I could hardly read and in other parts from your computer screen for a few hours today and trying to work through this timely to keep the kids in school, which the Trustee has already failed to do through this breach. I am certain Judge Colin would not want me to have signed this complex and lengthy document without first seeing even a draft to approve and just from a reading of the proposed language in the Court where again I did not have the document or even a draft to review what was being read into the record. We got down to making the document correct other than in the terms of what exactly we are limiting your and the trustees liabilities and indemnifications too specifically as we agreed in court to the payments and amounts of those payments, NOTHING ELSE. I again will suggest the final language on this that I proposed in my last email after talking to people you told me to consult with that best limits those things to what we agreed to in Court and what Judge Colin even said was capped liabilities and indemnifications to the scope and dollar amount of the payments to the school. You are reaching to try and get far more in and now calling me names and calling me “paranoid” for making changes that even you claim everyone else is aware of but that do not exist in the language. This insulting, rude and slanderous language against me, especially in front of all these professionals further shows the anger and adversity you have towards me and my children and further calls into question your conflicts of interests with me and these matters. If you cannot accept my changes below we will go the Judge and do not fax anything to him accept that we could not agree once I reviewed the proposed agreement language and could not come to terms on the proposed language and thus NO ORDER was agreed on either. “Eliot and Candice Bernstein individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability in regard to specifically making the above-listed payments to St. Andrews School for $133,500.00 and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided that in no event shall such indemnified amount exceed $133,350 for these payments to Saint Andrews school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” We will also need to add a new paragraph at the end due to the missed deadline by the Trustee, as follows, “This Agreement and any Orders issued are only enforceable if the children are re-enrolled for the 2014-2015 year and payments are accepted by Saint Andrews, otherwise this agreement will be null and void in entirety.” Let me know if this works or what time we should go to Judge Colin or if we need to schedule an Emergency Hearing to hash this out. I have not approved any Orders until we have reached an Agreement and it is signed, please do not mislead the Court that I have approved the Orders prior to Agreement.

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell; William H. Glasko, Esq.; John P. Morrissey Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders  I honestly do not understand what you are saying now.  You have twice approved the form only to renege, and athird time demanded a useless change which I ultimately agreed to make just to get this done:  

“Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionals shall have absolutelyno  liability to anyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School, and (ii) the Trustee and his professionals shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliotand Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   

 The point of that  last change, from my view, was to make  it clear that the qualifying  language “for making theabove‐listed payments to St. Andrews School”  applied to both parts of that paragraph.  That was unnecessary, but it was harmless as well, so I was willing to do that to accommodate you and assuage any paranoia you mayhave.    That  still was not acceptable  to  you, and now  you  are  complaining about  some  “effort[]  to have an openedended release of liabilities and open ended indemnification added, which is not what the Court intended or we agreed to in Court today.”   That makes it very easy to know what to do.  We like better what was agreed to in Court by Judge Colin.  If you also  like what was agreed to  in Court better than what you persuaded me to edit this afternoon, and that is the only language approved by the Court, then that is what we prefer too.  You state:  “Nor will  I approve any agreement  .  .  .  . ”   You have approved an agreement, announced  in opencourt and on the record.  That  is the one and only agreement, and you have approved  it, under oath, and youneed to comply with it just the same as everyone else.    It appears that you have no intention of signing anything, regardless of what it says.  I conclude that because no matter what changes we make at your request, it still is never good enough.  Your latest email goes back to the beginning, where you were at 10:30 am before Mr. O’Connell spoke to you and long before we went before theCourt.  I will submit by fax the two orders  in the morning, the forms of which you already have approved.  The orders 

both provide that “The Trustee is authorized and directed to make such payment upon receipt from Eliotand Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement.“ 

 We will accept a signed copy of the latest draft (from my 6:15 pm email) which incorporated all of your changesuntil 8:00 am tomorrow morning.    After  that, we will  fax  the Orders  to  Judge Colin and go back  to  the exact  language already approved by  theCourt  (see attached), which  I  should have  insisted upon  in  response  to your 3:21 p.m. email.   Those are  the choices.  Once the Court signs the Agreed Orders, the Trustee will comply with the Orders.  That means that, thereafter,when we get “receipt from Eliot and Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement”  ‐‐  a signed copy of

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have,

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  natural  guardians  of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

You took an order that the new Simon PR reviewed with you, and the Court reviewed with you, and  sent  it  to  someone  was  not  part  of  these  proceedings,  Marc  Garber,  and   for  some reason  he provided you legal advice as to how to change the agreement.     It appears that you will not sign anything and keep making changes.   To  resolve  any  paranoia  you  have  that  you  are  being  tricked,  the  following  is  grammatically correct and clear, even  though  it  is exactly what  is  there now anyway, but  to make  it double crystal clear, I changed it to read:   

“Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians,  on  behalf  of Daniel,  Jacob  and  Joshua,  agree  that  (i)  the  Trustee  and  his professionals  shall have  absolutely no  liability  to  anyone   for making  the  above‐listed payments  to  St.  Andrews  School,  and  (ii)  the  Trustee  and  his  professionals  shall  be indemnified and held harmless from suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   If this is not signed and returned immediately, I will go back to the original court approved form (which was perfectly fine before Mr. Garber’s comments and says essentially exactly the same as this revised one).                 Alan B. Rose, Esq.     arose@Mrachek‐Law.com     561.355.6991 <image001.jpg>    505 South Flagler Drive  Suite 600   West Palm Beach, Florida 33401  561.655.2250 Phone  561.655.5537 Fax

The  undersigned,  ELIOT  and  CANDICE  BERNSTEIN, individually,  and  ELIOT  BERNSTEIN  AND  CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural guardians of Daniel Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and  Joshua  Bernstein, hereby  acknowledge  that  they  (either  Eliot  or  his children  or  both,  to  be  determined  by  the  Court  at  a later date) will  receive  from  the  Trustee of  the  above Trust the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should have been distributed to Eliot Bernstein individually rather than to his children or trusts for the benefit of his children, Eliot agrees that he would have used  this money  for  the benefit of his children and he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00  would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further,  to  the extent  that  it  is determined  that  these payments made  to  St. Andrews  school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some  later time and Eliot agrees that  if he is  the  ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court determines  that Eliot’s children are  the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of any distribution  to  which  they  would  be  entitled,  in  the amount  paid  to  Saint  Andrews  for  each  child.   If  the Court  determines  that  both  Eliot  and  his  children  are beneficiaries  and  there  is  sufficient  funds  in  the children’s  distributable  shares,  such  amounts  will  be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid to Saint  Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough funds in the children’s distributable shares then Eliot  will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and

Alan to clarify your statement below, I asked for these payments several times over the last year and half to the formerremoved trustees Spallina and Tescher, to them  as counsel to Ted as ALLEGED Trustee and Ted directly and they werenot made.  I have alleged this was part of an extortion of my family whereby the Welfare payments would not be madeby the trustees unless I took them as  illegal distributions to  improper parties, which again  is what you tried today andthen tried to get global liability and indemnification protections for unlimited amounts and purposes for merely makingthe required Welfare Payments to the school.  You may try to twist this and call me paranoid as you now publically have,to make  it  look  like  I have  failed my  three minor  children but  it  is  the  Trustee  that  is  responsible  for making  thesepayments, not I.  Again, payments were made in the past by Theodore for our family needs out of Shirley’s Trust and heeven stated he would later take them off any future distributions and he did that with no agreements or any release of anything, I am not sure why now we have to do anything different, I am not even sure  if “distributions” can  legally bemade to unknown beneficiaries at this time and they should not just be called Welfare Payments to be deducted from either  Eliot  or  his  Children  future  distributions,  as  no  one  has  disputed  that me  or  my  children  will  be  ultimatebeneficiaries.  Again,  I would prefer  if  you have  your  counsel  that will be  representing  you as Respondent and Defendant  in  thesematters respond to this email.  Eliot

Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders  We have an agreement, and the Court ruled on your Emergency Motion.  In a few days we will have a transcript of that ruling, but as I read the agreement straight from my notes and as I typed the agreement straight from those same notes, I believe my draft is consistent with the agreement as announced in court and as ruled upon.  Everytime you respond you try to make even more changes; now something I don’t understand what you are trying to do to limit the Trustee’s agreed‐upon and court‐approved protections.  I normally might suggest that you consult with Brian O’Connell, who patiently spent hours today trying to help you, rather than others, but he is not your lawyer and I am not sure you’d listen to him either.  I am submitting the Orders by fax at 8:00 am.  I will be glad to advise the Court in the fax that you disagree with these and refuse to sign the Agreement.  I think the Court indicated that this was the agreement regardless of whether it is signed.  You can choose to honor or breach the agreement; that choice is yours alone.  The school issue is a problem of your own making, particularly delaying the request until late July, and it is a problem everyone but you is willing to solve.

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell Subject: FW: Agreement and Orders  Alan in response to your email below, I have been looking at this complex legal document created today in court on the backs of pages on several different documents, in handwriting I could hardly read and in other parts from your computer screen for a few hours today and trying to work through this timely to keep the kids in school, which the Trustee has already failed to do through this breach. I am certain Judge Colin would not want me to have signed this complex and lengthy document without first seeing even a draft to approve and just from a reading of the proposed language in the Court where again I did not have the document or even a draft to review what was being read into the record. We got down to making the document correct other than in the terms of what exactly we are limiting your and the trustees liabilities and indemnifications too specifically as we agreed in court to the payments and amounts of those payments, NOTHING ELSE. I again will suggest the final language on this that I proposed in my last email after talking to people you told me to consult with that best limits those things to what we agreed to in Court and what Judge Colin even said was capped liabilities and indemnifications to the scope and dollar amount of the payments to the school. You are reaching to try and get far more in and now calling me names and calling me “paranoid” for making changes that even you claim everyone else is aware of but that do not exist in the language. This insulting, rude and slanderous language against me, especially in front of all these professionals further shows the anger and adversity you have towards me and my children and further calls into question your conflicts of interests with me and these matters. If you cannot accept my changes below we will go the Judge and do not fax anything to him accept that we could not agree once I reviewed the proposed agreement language and could not come to terms on the proposed language and thus NO ORDER was agreed on either. “Eliot and Candice Bernstein individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability in regard to specifically making the above-listed payments to St. Andrews School for $133,500.00 and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided that in no event shall such indemnified amount exceed $133,350 for these payments to Saint Andrews school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” We will also need to add a new paragraph at the end due to the missed deadline by the Trustee, as follows, “This Agreement and any Orders issued are only enforceable if the children are re-enrolled for the 2014-2015 year and payments are accepted by Saint Andrews, otherwise this agreement will be null and void in entirety.” Let me know if this works or what time we should go to Judge Colin or if we need to schedule an Emergency Hearing to hash this out. I have not approved any Orders until we have reached an Agreement and it is signed, please do not mislead the Court that I have approved the Orders prior to Agreement.

Morrissey Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders  I honestly do not understand what you are saying now.  You have twice approved the form only to renege, and athird time demanded a useless change which I ultimately agreed to make just to get this done:  

“Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionals shall have absolutelyno  liability to anyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School, and (ii) the Trustee and his professionals shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliotand Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   

 The point of that  last change, from my view, was to make  it clear that the qualifying  language “for making theabove‐listed payments to St. Andrews School”  applied to both parts of that paragraph.  That was unnecessary, but it was harmless as well, so I was willing to do that to accommodate you and assuage any paranoia you mayhave.    That  still was not acceptable  to  you, and now  you  are  complaining about  some  “effort[]  to have an openedended release of liabilities and open ended indemnification added, which is not what the Court intended or we agreed to in Court today.”   That makes it very easy to know what to do.  We like better what was agreed to in Court by Judge Colin.  If you also  like what was agreed to  in Court better than what you persuaded me to edit this afternoon, and that is the only language approved by the Court, then that is what we prefer too.  You state:  “Nor will  I approve any agreement  .  .  .  . ”   You have approved an agreement, announced  in opencourt and on the record.  That  is the one and only agreement, and you have approved  it, under oath, and youneed to comply with it just the same as everyone else.    It appears that you have no intention of signing anything, regardless of what it says.  I conclude that because no matter what changes we make at your request, it still is never good enough.  Your latest email goes back to the beginning, where you were at 10:30 am before Mr. O’Connell spoke to you and long before we went before theCourt.  I will submit by fax the two orders  in the morning, the forms of which you already have approved.  The orders 

both provide that “The Trustee is authorized and directed to make such payment upon receipt from Eliotand Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement.“ 

 We will accept a signed copy of the latest draft (from my 6:15 pm email) which incorporated all of your changesuntil 8:00 am tomorrow morning.    After  that, we will  fax  the Orders  to  Judge Colin and go back  to  the exact  language already approved by  theCourt  (see attached), which  I  should have  insisted upon  in  response  to your 3:21 p.m. email.   Those are  the choices.  Once the Court signs the Agreed Orders, the Trustee will comply with the Orders.  That means that, thereafter,when we get “receipt from Eliot and Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement”  ‐‐  a signed copy of the Court approved form of the Agreement (attached) from my 2:01 pm email [it  is now 8:50 pm and you stillhave not signed anything] – the Successor Trustee of the Shirley Trust will make the payments required.

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

2.

  Further,  to  the extent  that  it  is determined  that  these payments made  to  St. Andrews  school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some  later time and Eliot agrees that  if he is  the  ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court determines  that Eliot’s children are  the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of any distribution  to  which  they  would  be  entitled,  in  the amount  paid  to  Saint  Andrews  for  each  child.   If  the Court  determines  that  both  Eliot  and  his  children  are beneficiaries  and  there  is  sufficient  funds  in  the children’s  distributable  shares,  such  amounts  will  be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid to Saint  Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough funds in the children’s distributable shares then Eliot  will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  natural  guardians  of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

1.  This is what you have,   The  undersigned,  ELIOT  and  CANDICE  BERNSTEIN, individually,  and  ELIOT  BERNSTEIN  AND  CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural guardians of Daniel Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and  Joshua  Bernstein, hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive  from  the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The  undersigned,  ELIOT  and  CANDICE  BERNSTEIN, individually,  and  ELIOT  BERNSTEIN  AND  CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural guardians of Daniel Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and  Joshua  Bernstein, hereby  acknowledge  that  they  (either  Eliot  or  his children  or  both,  to  be  determined  by  the  Court  at  a later date) will  receive  from  the  Trustee of  the  above Trust the following:

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should have been distributed to Eliot Bernstein individually rather than to his children or trusts for the benefit of his children, Eliot agrees that he would have used  this money  for  the benefit of his children and he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00  would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further,  to  the extent  that  it  is determined  that  these payments made  to  St. Andrews  school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some  later time and Eliot agrees that  if he is  the  ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court determines  that Eliot’s children are  the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of any distribution  to  which  they  would  be  entitled,  in  the amount  paid  to  Saint  Andrews  for  each  child.   If  the Court  determines  that  both  Eliot  and  his  children  are beneficiaries  and  there  is  sufficient  funds  in  the children’s  distributable  shares,  such  amounts  will  be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid to Saint  Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough funds in the children’s distributable shares then Eliot  will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his ultimate distributable shares.

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  natural  guardians  of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

Subject: FW: Agreement and Orders

Alan in response to your email below, I have been looking at this complex legal document created today in court on the backs of pages on several different documents, in handwriting I could hardly read and in other parts from your computer screen for a few hours today and trying to work through this timely to keep the kids in school, which the Trustee has already failed to do through this breach. I am certain Judge Colin would not want me to have signed this complex and lengthy document without first seeing even a draft to approve and just from a reading of the proposed language in the Court where again I did not have the document or even a draft to review what was being read into the record. We got down to making the document correct other than in the terms of what exactly we are limiting your and the trustees liabilities and indemnifications too specifically as we agreed in court to the payments and amounts of those payments, NOTHING ELSE. I again will suggest the final language on this that I proposed in my last email after talking to people you told me to consult with that best limits those things to what we agreed to in Court and what Judge Colin even said was capped liabilities and indemnifications to the scope and dollar amount of the payments to the school. You are reaching to try and get far more in and now calling me names and calling me “paranoid” for making changes that even you claim everyone else is aware of but that do not exist in the language. This insulting, rude and slanderous language against me, especially in front of all these professionals further shows the anger and adversity you have towards me and my children and further calls into question your conflicts of interests with me and these matters. If you cannot accept my changes below we will go the Judge and do not fax anything to him accept that we could not agree once I reviewed the proposed agreement language and could not come to terms on the proposed language and thus NO ORDER was agreed on either. “Eliot and Candice Bernstein individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability in regard to specifically making the above-listed payments to St. Andrews School for $133,500.00 and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided that in no event shall such indemnified amount exceed $133,350 for these payments to Saint Andrews school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” We will also need to add a new paragraph at the end due to the missed deadline by the Trustee, as follows, “This Agreement and any Orders issued are only enforceable if the children are re-enrolled for the 2014-2015 year and payments are accepted by Saint Andrews, otherwise this agreement will be null and void in entirety.” Let me know if this works or what time we should go to Judge Colin or if we need to schedule an Emergency Hearing to hash this out. I have not approved any Orders until we have reached an Agreement and it is signed, please do not mislead the Court that I have approved the Orders prior to Agreement.

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell; William H. Glasko, Esq.; John P. Morrissey Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders  I honestly do not understand what you are saying now.  You have twice approved the form only to renege, and a thirdtime demanded a useless change which I ultimately agreed to make just to get this done:  

“Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel,  Jacob and  Joshua, agree  that  (i)  the Trustee and his professionals  shall have absolutely no  liability  toanyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School, and (ii) the Trustee and his professionals shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents andnatural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   

 The point of that  last change, from my view, was to make  it clear that the qualifying  language “for making the above‐listed payments  to  St. Andrews  School”   applied  to both parts of  that paragraph.   That was unnecessary, but  it was harmless as well, so I was willing to do that to accommodate you and assuage any paranoia you may have.    That  still was  not  acceptable  to  you,  and  now  you  are  complaining  about  some  “effort[]  to  have  an opened  endedrelease of  liabilities and open ended  indemnification added, which  is not what the Court  intended or we agreed to  inCourt  today.”    That makes  it  very  easy  to  know what  to do.  We  like better what was  agreed  to  in Court by  JudgeColin.  If you also like what was agreed to in Court better than what you persuaded me to edit this afternoon, and that isthe only language approved by the Court, then that is what we prefer too.  You state:  “Nor will I approve any agreement . . . . ”   You have approved an agreement, announced in open court andon the record.  That is the one and only agreement, and you have approved it, under oath, and you need to comply withit just the same as everyone else.    It appears that you have no intention of signing anything, regardless of what it says.  I conclude that because no matter what  changes we make at your  request,  it  still  is never good enough.  Your  latest email goes back  to  the beginning, where you were at 10:30 am before Mr. O’Connell spoke to you and long before we went before the Court.  I will  submit by  fax  the  two orders  in  the morning,  the  forms of which you already have approved.  The orders both 

provide  that  “The  Trustee  is  authorized  and  directed  to make  such  payment  upon  receipt  from  Eliot  andCandice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement.“ 

 We will accept a signed copy of the  latest draft (from my 6:15 pm email) which  incorporated all of your changes until 8:00 am tomorrow morning.    After that, we will fax the Orders to Judge Colin and go back to the exact language already approved by the Court (seeattached), which I should have insisted upon in response to your 3:21 p.m. email.  Those are the choices.  Once the Court signs the Agreed Orders, the Trustee will comply with the Orders.  That means that, thereafter, when we get  “receipt  from  Eliot  and  Candice  Bernstein  of  a  signed  copy  of  the  Agreement”   ‐‐   a  signed  copy  of  the  Court approved  form of  the Agreement  (attached)  from my 2:01 pm email  [it  is now 8:50 pm and you still have not signedanything] – the Successor Trustee of the Shirley Trust will make the payments required.  I am finished on this topic.  I do not have the time to respond any further, as I have other matters to attend to.

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

P.C. ([email protected]); Caroline Prochotska Rogers Esq. ([email protected]); Michele M. Mulrooney ~ Partner @ Venable LLP ([email protected]); Andrew R. Dietz @ Rock It Cargo USA; ''[email protected]' ([email protected])' Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders   Alan,  I spoke to Marc Garber and he suggested the following  language will have to be modified to clarify exactly what we discussed and agreed to and  to clarify the document so no  future disputes occur.  Please  let me know if the changes are ok by your client.   From the Confidential Agreement   

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid 

Page 115: iviewit.tviviewit.tv/Simon and Shirley Estate/20140823 Corrected NOTICE OF FI… · 1 Eliot Ivan Bernstein From: Eliot Ivan Bernstein  Sent: Friday, August

to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” 

  Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone  for making  this  payment  to Saint Andrews  school  to be determined  later by  the Court  for distribution to the proper parties and shall be  indemnified and held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel,  Jacob and Joshua for this payment defined hereunder. 

  From the Trust Order   

4. This is what you have,   “5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement and this Order.”   This is what we propose,   5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement for  the  payment  to  Saint  Andrews  school  and  this  Order regarding the payment to Saint Andrews School.

Dietz @ Rock It Cargo USA; ''[email protected]' ([email protected])' Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders   Alan,  I spoke to Marc Garber and he suggested the following  language will have to be modified to clarify exactly what we discussed and agreed to and  to clarify the document so no  future disputes occur.  Please  let me know if the changes are ok by your client.   From the Confidential Agreement   

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.”

And this is what we suggest,   

Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” 

  Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone  for making  this  payment  to Saint Andrews  school  to be determined  later by  the Court  for distribution to the proper parties and shall be  indemnified and held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel,  Jacob and Joshua for this payment defined hereunder. 

  From the Trust Order   

4. This is what you have,   “5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement and this Order.”

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate

beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” 

  Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone  for making  this  payment  to Saint Andrews  school  to be determined  later by  the Court  for distribution to the proper parties and shall be  indemnified and held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel,  Jacob and Joshua for this payment defined hereunder. 

  From the Trust Order   

4. This is what you have,   “5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement and this Order.”   This is what we propose,   5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following:

rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

  From the Trust Order   

4. This is what you have,   “5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement and this Order.”   This is what we propose,   5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement for  the  payment  to  Saint  Andrews  school  and  this  Order regarding the payment to Saint Andrews School.

You keep changing things, just to change them.  First, you took an agreement and order that was read to the Court and approved by the Court, and you swore under oath that it was fine, and the you changed it, and I agreed to make changes; and then you changed again, and it has not changed one bit.  The judge understands the agreement; I understand it; everyone understands it (probably even you).   You took an order that the new Simon PR reviewed with you, and the Court reviewed with you, and sent it to someone was not part of these proceedings, Marc Garber, and  for some reason  he provided you legal advice as to how to change the agreement.     It appears that you will not sign anything and keep making changes.   To resolve any paranoia you have that you are being tricked, the following is grammatically correct and clear, even though it is exactly what is there now anyway, but to make it double crystal clear, I changed it to read:   

“Eliot  and  Candice  Bernstein  individually,  and  Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionals shall  have  absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone   for  making  the  above‐listed  payments  to  St. Andrews  School,  and  (ii)  the  Trustee  and  his  professionals  shall  be  indemnified  and  held harmless from suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   If this is not signed and returned immediately, I will go back to the original court approved form (which was perfectly fine before Mr. Garber’s comments and says essentially exactly the same as this revised one).                 Alan B. Rose, Esq.     arose@Mrachek‐Law.com     561.355.6991 <image001.jpg>    505 South Flagler Drive  Suite 600   West Palm Beach, Florida 33401  561.655.2250 Phone  561.655.5537 Fax

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” 

  Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone  for making  this  payment  to Saint Andrews  school  to be determined  later by  the Court  for distribution to the proper parties and shall be  indemnified and held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel,  Jacob and Joshua for this payment defined hereunder.

Alan,  I never agreed to the Order and told you not to send it that I for one was not agreeing until we had a signed agreement.  You ignored me and went and sent it to the Judge full of misstatements and two orders instead of one that was never discussed for two different cases.  I refused a partial distribution last year for the same reason, I WILL NOT PARTICPATE IN FRAUDULENT DISTRIBUTIONS TO IMPROPER PARTIES and the Judge agreed and would not tell me it was OK to take the money and approve it then and I doubt when he refuses this latest extortionary attempt he will do the same.  You are the one continuously wasting everyone's time and money.  You will recall in the hearing that after learning of the truth, that FORGERY AND FRAUD had taken place he stated he had enough at that moment to read Ted and his former attorneys you worked closely with to advance the FRAUDS with Ted their Miranda Rights.  He found out documents were tampered to change beneficiaries POST MORTEM and the Estate was closed by my deceased father and then stated the Miranda Rights again to them, perhaps it is time for him to arrest you all, we shall see.  We have "NEEDS" due

to the obvious DELAY in our inheritance due to these FELONY crimes both you and Ted also stand accused of and are under investigations for.  A lot of time and money has been wasted on all the folks who committed these FELONIOUS ACTS and we anticipate large recoveries from YOU et al. when everything hashes out soon.  You can spin your web of lies and deceit to try and message the words but the other parties all took ILLEGAL DISTRIBUTIONS KNOWINGLY and I WILL NOT in any way state these Welfare Payments under the Trust are distributions at this time as we agreed would be the case.  If the distributions are similar to what others did I WILL NOT AGAIN TAKE THEM AS I HAVE ALLEGED THAT IS FRAUD AND IT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.  You and I know and the Judge confirmed that distributions cannot be made to beneficiaries because they are unknown at this time and there is a big difference in what I am willing to do and what they have done, so the fact you state they would be similar makes this whole agreement you wrote garbage.  Your attempt to make them the same exhibits your attempt to extort me to take them, this time using my children as pawns.   I did speak out as a possible beneficiary (as they are unknown at this time) and object to your proposed order being sent to the judge for signature.  In fact, I am one of only three in Shirley's Trust document as it stands and advised you not to send the order stating it was agreed by all beneficiaries as at this time they are UNKNOWN and you agree on this but then put language that contradicts this into the Order.  The judge did not hear my motion for Emergency Interim Distributions and the record will reflect that clearly, so if he did not hear that what exactly did he hear?  I will not sign any agreement any longer, especially as you started sending emails to everyone calling me paranoid and more and promising that the language missing from the agreement you drafted and order was what we intended while not in the agreement or in the order at all.  The very fact that you state Judge Colin will have to fix something means the Order is null and void at this time.  I anticipate you have already noticed Judge Colin of this and the other SUBSTANTIVE ERRORS in the Order and Agreement so he can decide what to do.  The substance of the Order is also materially wrong and would have to be changed to reflect what we agreed to in Court but let Judge Colin now decide, this is way too complex for me without a lawyer.  Perhaps the Trust will pay for a lawyer for me in understanding the OPPRESSIVE situation financially these CRIMES have caused in delaying our family's inheritance, ALL CAUSED BY TED'S FRIENDS, YOU INCLUDED that were the FIDUCIARIES and COUNSEL in these matters and no fault of my family.  Let me know if you are willing to pay for my family, my children and my lawyers to review this document and the orders now that so many problems are identified.  You did not make our changes in the agreement and refused to negotiate and demanded I sign them or else my kids would be ousted from school.  We never discussed two Orders for two separate cases and we never agreed to that at all either, you are correct about the limited time and duress we were under due to the ALLEGED trustee Ted and his former counsels crimes that have stymied and delayed our inheritances, forcing us into destitute.  As you know we are challenging that document as well as it must be further investigated for Fraud and Forgery before we can ascertain the validity in light of all the other forgeries, fraud and admissions that Trust Documents were changed POST MORTEM.  So as we were under great duress, had never seen the order and agreement I tried to review it in only a few minutes to try and make it happen but was shocked that they were wholly wrong and opposite what we agreed and appear to be trying to get you and Ted GET OUT OF JAIL FREE PASSES on the liabilities and more you have in all these matters for both of your egregious acts of bad faith with unclean hands and violation of law and state bar rules and more.  I appreciate your advice to sign as you claim all these things in letters about how safe the deal is but the agreement does not have any of that language and trusting you is long lost.  Thus, why I wanted what you were claiming in the actual document but it is not there.  I notified you on the phone that she had called and bought us more time that is why we kept working for a few hours after the deadline but then you stopped and refused to negotiate or even discuss the problems in the order and agreement that did not reflect such and told me to trust you that it would be interpreted that way, refusing to even discuss them or put them in the agreement, which was wholly your decision.  I have drafted an Order in my Emergency Motion for Welfare Payments that reflects the spirit and terms we agreed would be in the document for the judge to sign.  I await his hearing.  In the interim if you want to agree to that language we can have the judge sign it, although there are one or two slight changes I would suggest to tighten it up to protect the beneficiaries.

 Eliot   ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐ From: Alan Rose [mailto:ARose@mrachek‐law.com] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2014 8:56 AM To: Eliot Ivan Bernstein Cc: Alan B. Rose Esq.; Brian M. O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell; Peter Feaman, Esq. ~ Attorney at Law @ Peter M. Feaman, P.A.; Caroline Prochotska Rogers Esq.; Michele M. Mulrooney ~ Partner @ Venable LLP; Andrew R. Dietz @ Rock It Cargo USA; Marc R. Garber Esq. @ Flaster Greenberg P.C.; Marc R. Garber Esq.; Marc R. Garber Esq. @ Flaster Greenberg P.C.; [email protected]; Glasko William H.; Morrissey John Subject: Re: Bernstein Children School Payments  Let me respond first by stating that if you feel the title of the orders is improper The simple solution would have been to discuss an agreed order modifying the title of the prior orders.  I do not believe it is material point, and you are  putting form over substance , but was and remained willing to work with you to allay any reasonable concerns or fears you had about language.   We cannot agree to modify the substance of the order but if the title and the introductory sentence bothers you, that could be fixed.   Before responding further, I would like to point out that the trustee expresses deep concern over the cost and expense that has been incurred to try to accommodate your "Needs." Regardless of who the court determines to be the beneficiaries of the trust, one thing is clear that it is not solely you and your children. There are others involved.  Recall, you refused a partial interim distribution last year, despite the events that occurred at the hearing on September 13, 2013, at which Judge Colin encouraged you to accept the distribution. We are beyond that point now and are not revisiting it, but I merely point out a lot of time and money has been spent to accomplish that which you asked us to do, and the trustee is very concerned about continuing to spend money of the trust on what appears to be a vein and futile act.   I am drafting this email at no cost to the Shirley Bernstein trust, to comply with the wishes of the trustees that no further trust resources be expended on a matter which has been concluded by the entry of agreed orders. Also, as explained below, I practically cannot speak or work on this anymore today.  These are not being made as "welfare payments" under the terms of the trust. Instead, these are payments being made which will count against future distributions, Similar to the interim distribution is made to others.   This was a compromise worked out to allow you and your wife do use part of your or your children's ultimate interest to be used now to pay for the private school tuition. The court did hold a hearing, did swear in witnesses. And did hear evidence. No one who is or may be a beneficiary spoke out against this measure, as reflected in the order. In fact, no one in the world spoke out against this, so that by definition that includes anyone who is our may be a beneficiary of the trust. It's hard to get a court order absolutely perfect when the parties have lengthy time to work on it, and we were working under very tight time constraints. If you had negotiated the form of the clawback agreement which I had sent you three weeks earlier, we would have had more time. But none of that matters because we got the project done and all that awaits is your signature.   We modified the agreement together on Tuesday afternoon and it is fine if you sign the modified one with numerous changes designed by you to make you feel more comfortable. You can sign that one or the one sent earlier, but you need to sign one of them.  Second, my cover email to you advised they were two identical orders in two cases because I did not want to have a situation with a jurisdictional issue later. The money is being paid from the Shirley  Bernstein trust assets, And the only pending action which directly relates to the Shirley Bernstein trust is the trust construction action. There was no trickery. Third, although it was my suggestion that your wife call the school, I never learned the schools outcome. You have never updated us on the schedule or status, but any event this all could've been done with checks in your hand or, as we

offered,  sent by courier directly to the school on Tuesday.  Either way, we were prepared to make the payment on Tuesday or Wednesday morning as soon as the agreement was signed.  Fourth, no one said anything was "take it or leave it." You on three occasions said okay and then kept making changes, which were first not necessary and then later in the process, began to be reversals of what we had discussed.  I would suggest you sign the agreement sent to you around 6 PM on Tuesday, at the end of the process.   I have confirmed on multiple occasions that this will not constitute your participation in a fraud nor be used against you. It simply will allow three payments to be made to St. Andrew school. Those payments will come from assets of the Shirley Bernstein trust. Once it is determined whether you or your children or both are probably beneficiaries, the court will count these payments against the distributions two major your children or yourself or both.    As required and as set forth in each of the agreements signed by the others who received interim distributions, you (for yourself, your wife and on behalf of your three minor children) agree that you are receiving the benefit of three payments to St. Andrew school, and if for some reason it is determined by the court that these payments should not have been made, you have agreed to repay them. That is standard language that, again, is in the agreements signed by your siblings.  As I understand the facts, as it set forth in the trust construction complaint which I drafted and which the trustee filed, it appears that either your children or you will receive a portion of the assets in the trust, And in your case that would be a one third interest and in the case of your children it would be a proportionate interest with other grandchildren.  The trustee is willing to make these payments because, based upon the facts as they are known at this time, it appears that the amount of this payment Will be less than the ultimate distribution. That was the same basis upon which the trustee made prior interim distribution, based upon the facts known at that time.   At the conclusion of the hearing the court commended all of us on our hard work to get this piece done. There still are many other battles to fight, unfortunately, in this matter. But one issue should be put to rest.  In fact, it is our belief that the matter already has been put to rest by the court, and you need to decide whether to sign the agreement or not.   I am traveling out of town today and have no further ability to work on these documents today, even if I wanted to   I am not sure if I would want to work on the documents even if I were in my office, because we have worked on them for two hours outside of the court room, read them to the judge, and I have grave doubts that you would sign anything at the end of the process.   It is my sincere hope that the next thing I receive from you will be an email attaching a copy of the agreement signed by you and your wife.  The ball is in your court.   Alan B. Rose  > On Aug 22, 2014, at 3:01, "Eliot Ivan Bernstein" <[email protected]> wrote: >  > Alan, you may want to make Judge Colin aware that the Order you wrote  > is incorrect and does not state what was on the record.  In the order  > you wrote you stated, >  >  >  > "AGREED ORDER ON ELIOT BERNSTEIN'S MOTION FOR EMERGENCY INTERIM  > DISTRIBUTIONS" THIS CAUSE having come before the Court on August 19,  > 2014, upon Eliot Bernstein's Motion for Emergency Interim  > Distributions ("the Motion"), to pay the private school tuition costs

Alan, each successive email you appear to grow more angered at changing your proposed agreement to limit the liabilityand  indemnity  to  just  the  school  payment  issue  and  the  amount  of  the  payment  as  everyone  understood  in  court,including Judge Colin.  I can’t believe this is what you are holding up school payments over, your own and Ted’s liabilityand  indemnification  language,  it  truly shows whose best  interest you and he are acting  for, your own!!!!  Judge Colinstated in Court, when we discussed the proposed language you were reading into record that the agreement would limitliability and only indemnify parties to the scope and amount of the school payments.  You were supposed to include his desire  for  that  in  the agreement  that you were drafting and we were  to agree on and sign  that  language.   In  fact, he added language that was nowhere in your document you read in the record and that language did not even appear untilyour first draft sent to me.   Also, Brian O’Connell also repeatedly told you that  I could not sign anything that released liabilities or indemnified parties that extended beyond the scope of the payments and the amount of the payments but

again you  left all these suggestions of his out.    So nothing was agreed on  in court that was binding and  I doubt Judge Colin will rule in your favor on that, especially where the new language is so outside the scope of what we discussed incourt, in particular about limiting the liability to the scope of the agreement and limiting the indemnity to the payment amounts that it would be ludicrous for him to go against what he said the agreement should state in court.  All the rest of this day has been wasted by everyone chasing your word games.   I am happy to present my case to  judge Colin, so please let me know if your client is failing to make the payments tomorrow due to your unwillingness to cooperate onissues even you stated everyone is already aware exist but we now agree they are not stated clearly in the document.  The rest of your email is very insulting and attacking and you appear to think I am acting to hurt my children and makingall kinds of disturbing claims to further attempt to paper a record or something.  This  is why  I again urge you to have your  counsel  contact me  regarding  all matters  going  forward.  Again, who  is  your  counsel  in  these matters  and  thelawsuits so I may contact them forward as I truly think this  is going nowhere with you as you seem enraged.  I remind you  to  remind  the  Trustee  that  he  is  being  sued  by me  too,  is  a  Respondent  in  these matters,  is  under  ongoinginvestigations and is not qualified legally to serve as Trustee in these matters anymore for numerous reasons he and youare  fully  aware  of.   Further we  are  having  upcoming  hearings  on  his  removal  since  he  refuses  to  voluntarily  resign knowing of the many reasons as a fiduciary to do so.  Remind him that I am suing him and you for far more than legalfees, in the millions of dollars, for a host of civil torts you and he have committed.  This appears more a game by you and your client that again wastes everyone’s time.  We will not be changing our minds and accepting your faulty and misleading language and leave this up to Judge Colin.  Eliot

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell Subject: FW: Agreement and Orders  Alan in response to your email below, I have been looking at this complex legal document created today in court on the backs of pages on several different documents, in handwriting I could hardly read and in other parts from your computer screen for a few hours today and trying to work through this timely to keep the kids in school, which the Trustee has already failed to do through this breach. I am certain Judge Colin would not want me to have signed this complex and lengthy document without first seeing even a draft to approve and just from a reading of the proposed language in the Court where again I did not have the document or even a draft to review what was being read into the record. We got down to making the document correct other than in the terms of what exactly we are limiting your and the trustees liabilities and indemnifications too specifically as we agreed in court to the payments and amounts of those payments, NOTHING ELSE. I again will suggest the final language on this that I proposed in my last email after talking to people you told me to consult with that best limits those things to what we agreed to in Court and what Judge Colin even said was capped liabilities and indemnifications to the scope and dollar amount of the payments to the school. You are reaching to try and get far more in and now calling me names and calling me “paranoid” for making changes that even you claim everyone else is aware of but that do not exist in the language. This insulting, rude and slanderous language against me, especially in front of all these professionals further shows the anger and adversity you have towards me and my children and further calls into question your conflicts of interests with me and these matters. If you cannot accept my changes below we will go the Judge and do not fax anything to him accept that we could not agree once I reviewed the proposed agreement language and could not come to terms on the proposed language and thus NO ORDER was agreed on either. “Eliot and Candice Bernstein individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability in regard to specifically making the above-listed payments to St. Andrews School for $133,500.00 and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided that in no event shall such indemnified amount exceed $133,350 for these payments to Saint Andrews school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” We will also need to add a new paragraph at the end due to the missed deadline by the Trustee, as follows, “This Agreement and any Orders issued are only enforceable if the children are re-enrolled for the 2014-2015 year and payments are accepted by Saint Andrews, otherwise this agreement will be null and void in entirety.” Let me know if this works or what time we should go to Judge Colin or if we need to schedule an Emergency Hearing to hash this out. I have not approved any Orders until we have reached an Agreement and it is signed, please do not mislead the Court that I have approved the Orders prior to Agreement.

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell; William H. Glasko, Esq.; John P. Morrissey Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders  I honestly do not understand what  you  are  saying  now.   You  have  twice  approved  the  form only  to renege, and a third time demanded a useless change which I ultimately agreed to make just to get thisdone:  

“Eliot  and  Candice  Bernstein  individually,  and  Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  naturalguardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionalsshall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. AndrewsSchool, and  (ii)  the Trustee and his professionals shall be  indemnified and held harmless  fromsuit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  natural  guardians  of Daniel,Jacob and Joshua for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   

 The  point of  that  last  change,  from my  view, was  to make  it  clear  that  the qualifying  language  “for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School”  applied to both parts of that paragraph.  That was  unnecessary,  but  it was  harmless  as well,  so  I was willing  to  do  that  to  accommodate  you  andassuage any paranoia you may have.    That  still was not  acceptable  to  you,  and now  you  are  complaining  about  some  “effort[]  to have  anopened ended release of liabilities and open ended indemnification added, which is not what the Courtintended or we agreed to in Court today.”   That makes it very easy to know what to do.  We like better what was agreed  to  in Court by  Judge Colin.   If you also  like what was agreed  to  in Court better  thanwhat you persuaded me  to edit  this afternoon, and  that  is  the only  language approved by  the Court,then that is what we prefer too.  You state:  “Nor will I approve any agreement . . . . ”   You have approved an agreement, announced in open court and on the record.  That  is the one and only agreement, and you have approved  it, underoath, and you need to comply with it just the same as everyone else.    It appears  that you have no  intention of  signing anything,  regardless of what  it  says.   I conclude  that because no matter what changes we make at your  request,  it  still  is never good enough.  Your  latest email goes back to the beginning, where you were at 10:30 am before Mr. O’Connell spoke to you andlong before we went before the Court.  I will submit by fax the two orders in the morning, the forms of which you already have approved.  The 

orders both provide  that  “The Trustee  is authorized and directed  to make  such payment uponreceipt from Eliot and Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement.“ 

 We will accept a signed copy of the latest draft (from my 6:15 pm email) which incorporated all of yourchanges until 8:00 am tomorrow morning.    After that, we will fax the Orders to Judge Colin and go back to the exact language already approved bythe Court (see attached), which I should have insisted upon in response to your 3:21 p.m. email.  Those are the choices.

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these  payments  made  to  St.  Andrews  school directly  will  be  reconciled  from  the  too  be determined beneficiaries by  the Court at some later  time  and  Eliot  agrees  that  if  he  is  the ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute  part  of  any  distribution  to which  he  would  be  entitled.   If  the  Court determines that Eliot’s children are the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of  any  distribution  to  which  they  would  be entitled,  in  the  amount paid  to  Saint Andrews for  each  child.   If  the  Court  determines  that both Eliot and his children are beneficiaries and

Alan,  I am not approving any orders or any agreement,  I have not agreed to anything  in court but proposed  languagethat  I never  saw  in a  complete document.    To now  try and  force me  into an agreement  to get your waivers will befurther egregious acts of bad  faith with unclean hands by both you and Theodore.  There has been no agreement as nothing was signed and any orders were dependent on having a signed agreement to the terms discussed in court andthose terms were not present in the language you drafted and perhaps the language read into the court.   If we have not agreed by tomorrow morning on the language you may tell the judge that we have not reached agreement and you arenot making the payments, as we will not accept payments under these terms without the suggested clarifications.  I also had no chance to review the transcripts and have no copies of all the documents that were used  in court so  I am noteven sure this language is what was stated in the record and if it were I would still object after having had a FIRST chance to review it today after court and determined that it did not reflect what the judges intent and my intent were for theagreement as stated  in court.  There  is no signed agreement so I could not have breached  it.    The only breach  is your client Theodore failing to make required and non discretionary payments for the Welfare of the Children as called for inthe Trust.    I am not sure if talking with you any longer on any issues is a good idea now that you are aware I am suing you.  I think from this point forward you need to immediately tell me who your counsel is in these matters as a Respondent and as aDefendant in the Lawsuits so I can speak to them directly to avoid these hostilities, including now your public slanderousand defaming name calling.  Eliot

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell Subject: FW: Agreement and Orders  Alan in response to your email below, I have been looking at this complex legal document created today in court on the backs of pages on several different documents, in handwriting I could hardly read and in other parts from your computer screen for a few hours today and trying to work through this timely to keep the kids in school, which the Trustee has already failed to do through this breach. I am certain Judge Colin would not want me to have signed this complex and lengthy document without first seeing even a draft to approve and just from a reading of the proposed language in the Court where again I did not have the document or even a draft to review what was being read into the record. We got down to making the document correct other than in the terms of what exactly we are limiting your and the trustees liabilities and indemnifications too specifically as we agreed in court to the payments and amounts of those payments, NOTHING ELSE. I again will suggest the final language on this that I proposed in my last email after talking to people you told me to consult with that best limits those things to what we agreed to in Court and what Judge Colin even said was capped liabilities and indemnifications to the scope and dollar amount of the payments to the school. You are reaching to try and get far more in and now calling me names and calling me “paranoid” for making changes that even you claim everyone else is aware of but that do not exist in the language. This insulting, rude and slanderous language against me, especially in front of all these professionals further shows the anger and adversity you have towards me and my children and further calls into question your conflicts of interests with me and these matters. If you cannot accept my changes below we will go the Judge and do not fax anything to him accept that we could not agree once I reviewed the proposed agreement language and could not come to terms on the proposed language and thus NO ORDER was agreed on either. “Eliot and Candice Bernstein individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability in regard to specifically making the above-listed payments to St. Andrews School for $133,500.00 and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided that in no event shall such indemnified amount exceed $133,350 for these payments to Saint Andrews school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” We will also need to add a new paragraph at the end due to the missed deadline by the Trustee, as follows, “This Agreement and any Orders issued are only enforceable if the children are re-enrolled for the 2014-2015 year and payments are accepted by Saint Andrews, otherwise this agreement will be null and void in entirety.” Let me know if this works or what time we should go to Judge Colin or if we need to schedule an Emergency Hearing to hash this out. I have not approved any Orders until we have reached an Agreement and it is signed, please do not mislead the Court that I have approved the Orders prior to Agreement.

O'Connell PA ~ Partner @ Ciklin Lubitz Martens & O'Connell; William H. Glasko, Esq.; John P. Morrissey Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders  I honestly do not understand what you are saying now.  You have twice approved the form only to renege, and athird time demanded a useless change which I ultimately agreed to make just to get this done:  

“Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, onbehalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionals shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School, and (ii) the Trustee and his professionals shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliotand Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”   

 The point of that  last change, from my view, was to make  it clear that the qualifying  language “for making theabove‐listed payments to St. Andrews School”  applied to both parts of that paragraph.  That was unnecessary, but it was harmless as well, so I was willing to do that to accommodate you and assuage any paranoia you mayhave.    That  still was not acceptable  to  you, and now  you  are  complaining about  some  “effort[]  to have an opened ended release of liabilities and open ended indemnification added, which is not what the Court intended or we agreed to in Court today.”   That makes it very easy to know what to do.  We like better what was agreed to in Court by Judge Colin.  If you also  like what was agreed to  in Court better than what you persuaded me to editthis afternoon, and that is the only language approved by the Court, then that is what we prefer too.  You state:  “Nor will  I approve any agreement  .  .  .  . ”   You have approved an agreement, announced  in opencourt and on the record.  That  is the one and only agreement, and you have approved  it, under oath, and youneed to comply with it just the same as everyone else.    It appears that you have no intention of signing anything, regardless of what it says.  I conclude that because no matter what changes we make at your request, it still is never good enough.  Your latest email goes back to the beginning, where you were at 10:30 am before Mr. O’Connell spoke to you and long before we went before the Court.  I will submit by fax the two orders  in the morning, the forms of which you already have approved.  The orders 

both provide that “The Trustee is authorized and directed to make such payment upon receipt from Eliot and Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement.“ 

 We will accept a signed copy of the latest draft (from my 6:15 pm email) which incorporated all of your changesuntil 8:00 am tomorrow morning.

After  that, we will  fax  the Orders  to  Judge Colin and go back  to  the exact  language already approved by  theCourt  (see attached), which  I  should have  insisted upon  in  response  to your 3:21 p.m. email.   Those are  the choices.  Once the Court signs the Agreed Orders, the Trustee will comply with the Orders.  That means that, thereafter,when we get “receipt from Eliot and Candice Bernstein of a signed copy of the Agreement”  ‐‐  a signed copy of the Court approved form of the Agreement (attached) from my 2:01 pm email [it  is now 8:50 pm and you still have not signed anything] – the Successor Trustee of the Shirley Trust will make the payments required.  I am finished on this topic.  I do not have the time to respond any further, as I have other matters to attend to.  We worked long and hard to find a solution here, but you seem only interested in finding more problems.  My client,  as  Trustee,  is  committed  to  finding  solutions  and  bringing  these matters  to  an  end  as  quickly  andefficiently as possible.  I hope that you soon join in that goal of bringing these matters to a proper conclusion.  Good night.         Alan B. Rose, Esq.     arose@Mrachek‐Law.com     561.355.6991

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares.

The  undersigned,  ELIOT  and  CANDICE  BERNSTEIN, individually,  and  ELIOT  BERNSTEIN  AND  CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural guardians of Daniel Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and  Joshua  Bernstein, hereby  acknowledge  that  they  (either  Eliot  or  his children  or  both,  to  be  determined  by  the  Court  at  a later date) will  receive  from  the  Trustee of  the  above Trust the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should have been distributed to Eliot Bernstein individually rather than to his children or trusts for the benefit of his children, Eliot agrees that he would have used  this money  for  the benefit of his children and he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00  would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further,  to  the extent  that  it  is determined  that  these payments made  to  St. Andrews  school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some  later time and Eliot agrees that  if he is  the  ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court determines  that Eliot’s children are  the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of any distribution  to  which  they  would  be  entitled,  in  the amount  paid  to  Saint  Andrews  for  each  child.   If  the Court  determines  that  both  Eliot  and  his  children  are beneficiaries  and  there  is  sufficient  funds  in  the children’s  distributable  shares,  such  amounts  will  be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid to Saint  Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough funds in the children’s distributable shares then Eliot  will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and

  Further,  to  the extent  that  it  is determined  that  these payments made  to  St. Andrews  school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some  later time and Eliot agrees that  if he is  the  ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court determines  that Eliot’s children are  the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of any distribution  to  which  they  would  be  entitled,  in  the amount  paid  to  Saint  Andrews  for  each  child.   If  the Court  determines  that  both  Eliot  and  his  children  are beneficiaries  and  there  is  sufficient  funds  in  the children’s  distributable  shares,  such  amounts  will  be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid to Saint  Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough funds in the children’s distributable shares then Eliot  will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot  and  Candice  as  parents  and  natural  guardians  of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

  Further,  to  the extent  that  it  is determined  that  these payments made  to  St. Andrews  school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some  later time and Eliot agrees that  if he is  the  ultimate  beneficiary  he  would  have  used  this money for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court determines  that Eliot’s children are  the ultimate beneficiaries the amounts would constitute part of any distribution  to  which  they  would  be  entitled,  in  the amount  paid  to  Saint  Andrews  for  each  child.   If  the Court  determines  that  both  Eliot  and  his  children  are beneficiaries  and  there  is  sufficient  funds  in  the children’s  distributable  shares,  such  amounts  will  be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid to Saint  Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough funds in the children’s distributable shares then Eliot  will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no  liability to anyone for  making  this  distribution  and  shall  be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and

Alan,  it  is  you  who  are  being  difficult  in  efforts  to  have  an  opened  ended  release  of  liabilities  and  open  endedindemnification added, which  is not what the Court  intended or we agreed to  in Court today.  We all agreed that the liabilities  and  indemnification would  be  for  the  amount  paid  to  Saint Andrews  of  $133,500.00  and  nothing more.   I believe we  should  get  before  the  judge  tomorrow with  the  proposed  changes  and  let  him  decide what  changes  toapprove, as  I will not approve any agreement  that has open ended  liability  release and open ended  indemnificationrelease.  Nor will I approve any agreement where distributions are made to either me or my children without the judgefirst  determining who  the  beneficiaries  are  for  the  distributions  to  be made  to  legally.   Since we  agreed  that  the payments are being made to Saint Andrews directly and not being distributed at this time to any party (or an unknownparty as you stated), as  the beneficiaries are unknown at  this  time due  to  the  fraud  that has occurred by Ted’s prior counsel Tescher and Spallina and we were not sure how distributions could be made to unknown beneficiaries at thistime  legally,  this may all be best brought before  the  judge again  to make all  these determinations now  that we havedrafted the documents.  Let me know, Eliot

Alan, you  stated when you  called me after  sending me your new  changes  that you made  changes  in paragraph exactly as  I had wrote  them and  this  is not  true as  this  is wholly new  language  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually,  and  Eliot  and Candice  as parents  and natural  guardians,  on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that (i) the Trustee and his professionals shall have absolutely no liability to  anyone  for making  the  above‐listed payments  to  St. Andrews  School,  and  (ii)  the  Trustee  and his professionals  shall  be  indemnified  and  held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice  as  parents  and  natural  guardians  of  Daniel,  Jacob  and  Joshua,  for making  the  above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School.”     The exact language I offered was either;    “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit; provided  in no event shall such  indemnified amount exceed $133,350 for these payments  to  Saint Andrews  school by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”   Or   “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree that the Trustee and his professional shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making the above‐listed payments to St. Andrews School and shall be indemnified and held harmless from suit [“Everyone knows that both the hold harmless and indemnity only apply to the $133,500 being paid  to St. Andrews.”] by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”   Please, according  to your phone call whereby you stated you used my exact changes, pick one or  the other  versions  of my  exact  language  above.   Your  new  language  again  fails  to  limit  the  liability  and indemnification to the 133,500.00 as we have agreed.  If you want your new language above that I had never  seen before  this email, you  could put  in a  sentence at  the end  that  states,  “The  liabilities and indemnification shall apply only to an amount of $133,500.00 being paid to Saint Andrews school.”   Let  me  know  and  please  let’s  stop  playing  word  games  that  have  already  cost  the  children  their enrollment.   I also now  cannot  sign  this until  I have  confirmed  from  the  school  tomorrow  if  they are willing  to  take  the  payment  after  their  committee meeting  or  if  they  have  lost  their  spots  and  this agreement  would  then  be moot.  We  will  now  need  to  add  language  to  this  Agreement  that  the Agreement and Orders are only enforceable  if the children are re‐enrolled for the 2014‐2015 year and payments are accepted by Saint Andrews.     Elliot

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of

$133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.”

Cargo USA; ''[email protected]' ([email protected])' Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders   Alan,  I spoke to Marc Garber and he suggested the following  language will have to be modified to clarify exactly what we discussed and agreed to and  to clarify the document so no  future disputes occur.  Please  let me know if the changes are ok by your client.   From the Confidential Agreement   

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such

amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” 

  Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone  for making  this  payment  to Saint Andrews  school  to be determined  later by  the Court  for distribution to the proper parties and shall be  indemnified and held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel,  Jacob and Joshua for this payment defined hereunder. 

  From the Trust Order   

4. This is what you have,   “5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement and this Order.”   This is what we propose,   5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement for  the  payment  to  Saint  Andrews  school  and  this  Order regarding the payment to Saint Andrews School.

Cargo USA; ''[email protected]' ([email protected])' Subject: RE: Agreement and Orders   Alan,  I spoke to Marc Garber and he suggested the following  language will have to be modified to clarify exactly what we discussed and agreed to and  to clarify the document so no  future disputes occur.  Please  let me know if the changes are ok by your client.   From the Confidential Agreement   

1.  This is what you have,   The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua  Bernstein,  hereby  acknowledge  that  they  will  receive from the Trustee of the above Trust the following:   This is what we suggest The undersigned, ELIOT and CANDICE BERNSTEIN,  individually, and ELIOT BERNSTEIN AND CANDICE BERNSTEIN, as parents and natural  guardians  of  Daniel  Bernstein,  Jacob  Bernstein  and Joshua Bernstein, hereby acknowledge that they (either Eliot or his  children or both,  to be determined by  the Court at a  later date)  will  receive  from  the  Trustee  of  the  above  Trust  the following: 

    

2. This is what you have,   “Further, to the extent that  it  is determined that these monies should  have  been  distributed  to  Eliot  Bernstein  individually rather  than  to  his  children  or  trusts  for  the  benefit  of  his children, Eliot agrees  that he would have used  this money  for the benefit of his children and he agrees that this distribution of $133,500.00 would constitute part of any distribution to which he would be entitled.” 

  And this is what we suggest, 

  Further, to the extent that it is determined that these payments made to St. Andrews school directly will be reconciled from the too be determined beneficiaries by the Court at some later time and Eliot agrees that  if he  is the ultimate beneficiary he would have  used  this money  for  the  benefit  of  his  children  and  he agrees  that  this  distribution  of  $133,500.00 would  constitute part of  any distribution  to which he would be entitled.   If  the Court  determines  that  Eliot’s  children  are  the  ultimate beneficiaries  the  amounts  would  constitute  part  of  any distribution to which they would be entitled, in the amount paid to  Saint Andrews  for each  child.   If  the Court determines  that both  Eliot  and  his  children  are  beneficiaries  and  there  is sufficient  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares,  such

amounts will be deducted from each child’s funds in the amount paid  to  Saint Andrews  school  for  each  child.   If  there  are  not enough  funds  in  the  children’s  distributable  shares  then  Eliot will  assume  any  remainder  balance  from  his  ultimate distributable shares. 

  3. This is what you have, 

  “Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely no liability to anyone for making this distribution and shall be  indemnified and held harmless  from  suit by Eliot and Candice, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua.” 

  Eliot and Candice Bernstein  individually, and Eliot and Candice as parents and natural guardians, on behalf of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua, agree  that  the Trustee and his professional  shall have absolutely  no  liability  to  anyone  for making  this  payment  to Saint Andrews  school  to be determined  later by  the Court  for distribution to the proper parties and shall be  indemnified and held  harmless  from  suit  by  Eliot  and  Candice,  and  Eliot  and Candice as parents and natural guardians of Daniel,  Jacob and Joshua for this payment defined hereunder. 

  From the Trust Order   

4. This is what you have,   “5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement and this Order.”   This is what we propose,   5.  Eliot  Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  individually;  Eliot Bernstein  and  Candice  Bernstein,  as  guardians  and  natural parents of Daniel, Jacob and Joshua; and any other beneficiary of The Shirley Bernstein Trust are enjoined and precluded from filing or pursuing any action against  the Trustee  in  connection with the Trustee's distributions provided under the Agreement for  the  payment  to  Saint  Andrews  school  and  this  Order regarding the payment to Saint Andrews School.
