Zwim Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. k/n/a Fortress Value Recovery Fund I LLC, et. al. Dear Sirs: As you are aware, I represent Jeffrey Epstein, Financial Trust Company, Inc., and Jeepers, Inc. (collectively "Epstein") in connection with claims regarding an investment in D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. k/n/a Fortress Value Recovery Fund I LLC. I am writing in an effort to avoid litigation by settling this dispute. I037032vI/011585 EFTA00587244 Brad Karp Alan Levine John S. Siffert April 23, 2010 Page 2 First, Epstein is willing to settle the dispute for $140 million plus $35 million in prejudgment interest. To help you evaluate our claims, I have enclosed an affidavit of Glenn Dubin. Second, to avoid the need for Epstein to file litigation immediately, we propose that the parties enter into a tolling agreement. I have taken the liberty of attaching two draft agreements (one for the Fortress/Fund entities and one for the Zwim personal entities), which are enclosed. We need to know your position on the tolling agreement by no later than May 3, 2010. With regard to our settlement demand, please give me your response by no later than May 15, 2010. Thank you. Sincerely, Stephen D. Susman Enclosures cc: Jeffrey Epstein I037032vI/011585 EFTA00587245 Brad Karp Alan Levine John S. Siffert April 23, 2010 Page 3 bcc: Darren Indyke I037032vI/011585 EFTA00587246
