To: Rich Kahn Cc: [email protected][[email protected]]; From: Sally Ann Calabrese Sent: Thur 6/24/2010 4:21:07 PM Subject: LSJ LLC Dear Mr. Kahn, Mr. Epstein is in possession of all the drawings commissioned from us, which includes drawings for the following spaces: • Master Suite / Tub Alcove • Master Suite / Powder Room • Master Bath • Living Room • Kitchen • Indoor Swimming Pool • Theater • Library Courtyard • Main Courtyard • Back Stepped Terrace In addition, please note that there were multiple changes requested by Mr. Epstein himself, which constitutes some of the architectural hours billed. As a courtesy, I have waived all our fees on the travel expenses (one of which is for which we arranged and paid for as a kind gesture to Mr. Epstein). These trips were made at his request, and we feel it is only just that they all be paid. In total, our firm's architects have worked (257) hours on behalf of Mr. Epstein. Mr. Couturier's himself spent over (36) hours working with the architects and EFTA_R1_01472121 EFTA02411045 meeting with Mr. Epstein and Ms.ahich we have not charged Mr. Epstein for hours spent on these meetings. A substantial amount of effort has been invested in Mr. Epstein's project, and I'm sure you understand that we cannot operate without compensation. While the circumstances regarding the end of the project are lamentable, we cannot return Mr. Epstein's deposit for work that has already been completed. As it stands right now, Mr. Epstein owes us a balance of $41,724.59.

Mr. Epstein was looking forward to working with you. Obviously, your withdrawal from the project was through no fault of Mr. Epstein, so I assume that you will be returning the full $50,000 deposit that we sent to you in April. Of course, if you incurred any reasonable out of pocket expenses (apart from those over $500 for which advance approval was required under our agreement), please forward the back-up for those expenses and you may deduct them at cost from the deposit. Under the circumstances, however, I think we would all agree that imposing an 8% handling fee on these expenses would be inappropriate. For our part, we will not seek to offset your expenses or otherwise charge you for our losses, which, unfortunately, are substantial. Please wire the deposit to Mr. Epstein in accordance with the following wire transfer instructions: Bank Name: JPMorgan Chase Bank Address: New York, NY ABA #: For the account of: Jeffrey Epstein Account #: If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
