FaTall July 21, 2011 VIA HAND DELIVERY & FED EX Joshua Sussman VP, General Counsel, Programming IAC/InterActiveCorp 555 West 18th Street New York, NY 10011 Re: Jeffrey Epstein Dear Josh, I understand that your reporters, including and Wayne Barrett, are working on another story about Jeffrey Epstein and, among other things, have been questioning various individuals and government officials in the Virgin Islands to obtain information about Mr. Epstein and his business. Based on some of the prior coverage of Mr. Epstein in your publications, including reporting by Ms. II. I am very concerned that any forthcoming article may contain inaccurate and libelous information about Mr. Epstein. We ask you to conduct a careful review of any article about Mr. Epstein in advance of publication for the purpose of determining whether the facts are accurate. As you know, Mr. Epstein has completed his state sentence for events that occurred over five years ago. There have been no allegations of any improper conduct since the fall of 2005. Mr. Epstein has now returned to his life as a philanthropist and financial advisor. We would be pleased to meet with you to discuss these matters in other to avoid any further harm to Mr. Epstein, and we would be pleased to check and/or correct any facts about Mr. Epstein in advance of publication. We request that Newsweek and the Daily Beast treat the issues raised in this letter with the seriousness that Mr. Epstein deserves and that you owe to the public as a responsible journalistic enterprise. Sincerely, P. Lefkowtiz Chicago Hong Kong London Los Angeles Munich Palo Atte San Francisco Shanghai Washington. D.0 EFTA00287032
