DRAFT Sent by E-mail and U.S. Mail Robert Josefsberg, Esq. Podhurst Orseck, P.A. 25 West Flagler Street, Suite 800 Miami, FL 33130 Re: Epstein Matter Dear Bob: Our next meetings are planned for September 21st and 25th. Let's aim for approximately 10:00 o'clock (subject to change) and location to be determined. I believe we indicated we will travel to Miami for September 21st subject to Mr. Epstein's availability from his control officer. Secondly, I did file the motions for extension in Doe 101 and 102, with your agreement, both of which were approved by the court. Thirdly, I will be sending you a letter within the next two days with our firm's trust check in the amount of $362,474.00 which will bring your billings current through March 25, 2009 (along with the money already paid) without my client waiving any rights related to those bills. Any disputes regarding prior bills will be handled by the Special Master, Sid Stubbs. Fourthly, you and I exchanged agreements regarding Sid Stubbs. Would you please comment on mine and determine whether my agreement, in its current form, is acceptable to you. Cordially yours, Robert D. Critton, Jr. RDC/clz cc: Jack Goldberger, Esq.

Podhurst Orseck, 25 West Flagler Street, Suite 800 Miami, FL 33130 Re: Epstein Matter Dear Bob: As per our discussions and agreement on August 5, 2009, I am enclosing our firm's trust account check representing payment by Mr. Epstein pursuant to the NPA of your bill through March 25, 2009 in the amount of $362,474.00. My client will not contest your firm's entitlement to a fee up through and including March 25, 2009. However, he reserves the right to challenge through Mr. Stubbs any portion of the fees and costs that have been paid through that date based on reasonableness. Reasonableness may include whether certain costs should have been incurred. I have not had the opportunity to review your bills in any detail, and obviously do not have all the bills so I know what was done. If my understanding is not correct, please advise me by return mail. Cordially WS, Robert D. Critton, Jr. RDC/clz Enclosures L•A•W•Y•E• lt •S 515 N.
