Restating my offer of full rent plus $900/mo for the remainder of the lease, allows for the best outcome for everyone. Time itself could help resolve the challenges before us. The pandemic has been hard on allof us, but we are the fortunate ones to be alive and well. Let's not lose sight of that fact. I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones.

Why are we not working together to either show the place to prospective tenants or coming up with some agreement to move forward? Either of these choices are in your best interest. As I said below, I am trying my best to support you whether I stay in the space or not. My pro bono attorney is no longer representing me because he claims that he was getting nowhere with Howard and does not represent clients in court, only with negotiations. Ithanked him for everything he has done, but he is no longer involved. I am, however, open to having a callat anytime with you and Howard. Lastly, you may receive an insurance cancelation notice, please disregard it,I have made the premium payment. As always, I appreciate you giving the time and attention this matter deserves.

Please read the following and know that I want to work this out with your family. Itis very important to me. Here are some things that have concerned me: 1. On May 27, 2022, Ms. Ahn agreed to accept the June and July rent at $3,274.91 per month. I sent a bank check for the total amount. Dear Julia, My client agrees to your proposal. Please have bank checks made payable to the landlord and delivered to my office, on or before June 1, 2022. Be advised that we will be commencing a non-payment action, with the understanding that in the event we can reach an agreement for your client's continued tenancy prior to July 31, 2022, we will discontinue the action. Yours truly, Jenny C. Ahn 2. Ms. Ahn never replied my attorney's email sent on July 15, 2022. Ms. Ahn, Following up on my last email. Though my client has been made aware of section 55 in his lease rider, and the accompanying limitations on subletting, he is again requesting the landlord permit a subtenant as part of an agreement for payment of the arrears. This is an important consideration for him maintaining the space for the remainder of his lease term. Please advise and have a nice weekend. Regards, Julia Currie 3. On August 4, 2022, my attorney sent an email to Ms. Ahn about where to send the August 2022 payment and she never heard back. Ms. Ahn, Good morning. My client would like to know ifhe should send a bank check for the August rent to you or directly to the landlord. He has also requested a response to my email from July 15th, see below. Thank you.

For our mutual interest and protection, I respectfully offer the following: 1st Starting October 1, 2022 I am prepared to send you two installment payments, on the and 15th Of every month, for the remainder of my lease (approximately 68 months). With this plan, you would receive the full monthly rent plus $900 each month for 68 months to payback arrears.
