Do NOT reply, click links or open attachments, unless you recognize the sending email address and know the content is safe..\n\nUnderstood, Aaron. We also talked with PH lawyers today. So, appreciating that Miles prefers to not provide a blanket waiver, which of course we respect fully, we can just proceed as agreed yesterday (and we'll do all of this for/with Verdolino as well, as discussed):\n\n- We are pulling together our entire client file and using search terms for emails to be agreed between BR and PH to collect all responsive documents\n- You'll tell us whether there are any categories of documents for which the Debtor will not claim a privilege; for example, we know of no privilege that would pertain to our communications with non-debtor third parties, such as the Committee or PAX reps. You'll use whatever discretion to make that list as long or as short as you'll want it to be.\n- Whatever you tell us, we'll all share that with PH, so they know that we're all proceeding in good faith and quickly etc\n- As to those things on your list, after we collect those, we'll just send them off to PH. You'll tell us whether you want a copy\n- As to anything that is not on your list , we'll send that all to you, so that the Debtor can make the determination he's entitled to make under section 7 of the Order as to his personal safety and similar concerns. Once you clear any document, we can produce it. If you decline to clear anything, you'll need to tell us and PH that, and presumably you'll prepare and send to PH a privilege log as to the Debtor's assertions, whatever they may be, as to that document. We'll hold those until you and PH come to an agreement or we are ordered to do something\n\nWe've committed to PH that we will tell them what we're doing when, as in any event required by the Order and subpoena, so once you confirm this we'll work with you to share this with PH as well, and we'll get it all started\n\nThanks\n\n![](_page_2_Picture_12.jpeg)\n\nBrown Rudnick LLP 7 Times Square New York, NY 10036 -and-One Financial Center Boston, MA 02111 T: 212.209.4942 T: 617.856.8586 C: 508.922.8272\n\n[wbaldiga@brownrudnick.com](mailto:wbaldiga@brownrudnick.com) [www.brownrudnick.com](http) He/him/his\n\n**From:** Aaron A.

Use caution accessing links or attachments.**\n\nBill/Tristan:\n\nWe've spoken to the Debtor and he is unwilling to agree to a blanket waiver of privilege with respect to the documents and communications in his possession.\n\nAs you know, Z&Z tried to accommodate everyone's concerns/interests (the Debtor's, the Trustee's and Brown Rudnick's) by agreeing to review documents in Brown Rudnick's possession for purposes of assessing privilege, but the Trustee appears unwilling to allow us a reasonable time to do so. At this point, I don't see any alternative other than that Brown Rudnick respond to the subpoena in the manner it deems is required based on the debtor's stated reservation of whatever privilege rights he has, the applicable rules of professional conduct, the applicable rules of professional responsibility and the order entered in this case governing privilege.\n\nI'm happy to discuss this one more time if you like but given the Trustee's position I'm not sure that there is anything else I can do.\n\nAaron A.
