As we communicated to you during our February 3, 2010 meeting and both before (January 20, 2010) and thereafter (February 18, 2010) by letter, see appended letters, there exists significant differences between fees that Mr. Epstein and his civil counsel believe are within his NPA obligations and additional amounts which the attorney representative is claiming are due. Mr. Epstein has in the past attempted to resolve issues relating to the outstanding invoices through efforts to review the particulars in the unpaid bills with the attorney representative, through settlement discussions with the attorney representative, and through his signing on February 16, 2010 a Special Masters Agreement which would allow a neutral third party to make a binding determination as to what portions of the invoices at issue were reasonable, non- 201 S.

May 18, 2010 Page 2 duplicative, and within Mr. Epstein's NPA-obligations. As a preliminary matter, Mr. Epstein had been requesting, but did not receive, an invoice including billing dating back to the end of 2009 until May 11, 2010 - and even this invoice was without the charges of certain of the outside contractors relied upon by the Podhurst firm. We regret that these efforts did not resolve the matter and that Podhurst Orseck, P.A. elected instead to litigate. Mr. Epstein is today, in response to the lawsuit, filing a motion for authority to place $2,000,000 in an account maintained at the Clerk's Office for the United States District Court pending the results of the litigation. Mr. Epstein has always agreed that he is entirely responsible for any settlement-related fees that are not excessive and will take no litigation position inconsistent with that understanding. However, we have contended as a matter of principle that given the unexpected enormity of the claims for legal fees, that absent additional detail on why the invoiced fees were not duplicative and excessive and outside the ambit of Mr. Epstein's NPA obligations, payment should depend on either an agreement with the attorney representative which never occurred or a determination by a neutral third party. Mr. Epstein will pay whatever amount Judge Gold or any selected Master determine he owes under the NPA. Respectfully submitted, /wg Black, Srebnick. Kornspan & Stumpf, P.A.

We confirm that Mr. Epstein settled each and every case brought by the attorney-representative selected by you. We write this response only to advise you that Mr. Epstein has never refused to pay reasonable settlement-related fees that are within the scope of the NPA. He has already paid the attorney-representative $526,000. The attorney-representative has not yet presented him with a final invoice for settlement-related work. The incomplete invoices that have been presented seek $2,000,000 in additional fees. Mr. Epstein has been advised by his attorneys that the requested fees include duplicative work, charges that relate to preparation for litigation not settlement (thus outside his NPA-fee obligations) and charges that are unreasonable and that should be reviewed by a Court rather than simply paid without meaningful review. A significant amount of the total fees (over $1,000,000) is for legal work that the invoices document were done by two outside attorneys who are not even attorneys with the Podhurst Orseck, P.A. law firm. Mr. Epstein's disputes the necessity for and redundancy of these charges. We respect Your Honor's selection and regret that the issue of disputed fees has resulted in litigation. Mr. Epstein is committed to paying whatever fees and costs are determined by the 303 BANYAN BOULEVARD • SUITE 400 • WEST PALM BEACH.

While we are aware of his recent guilty plea and conviction in his State Court case, the sentence imposed in that case is grossly inadequate for a sexual predator of this magnitude. The information and evidence that has come to our attention in this matter leads to a grave concern that justice will not be served in this cause if Mr. Epstein is not aggressively prosecuted and appropriately punished. Based on our investigation and knowledge of this case, it is apparent that he has sexually abused more than 100 underage girls, and the evidence against him is overwhelmingly strong. As former Assistant State Attorneys with seven years' prosecution experience, we believe that the evidence against Mr. Epstein is both credible and deep and that he may be the most dangerous sexual predator of children that our country has ever seen. The evidence suggests that for at least 4 years he was sexually abusing as many as three to four girls a day. It is inevitable that if he is not confined to prison, he will continue to manipulate and sexually abuse children and destroy more lives. He is a sexual addict that focused all of his free time on sexually abusing children, and he uses his extraordinary wealth and power to lure in poor, underprivileged little girls and then also uses his wealth to shield himself from prosecution and liability. We are very concerned for the health and welfare of the girls he has already victimized, and concerned that if justice is not properly served now and he is not imprisoned for a very long time, he will get a free pass to sexually abuse children in the future. Future abuse and victimization is obvious to anyone who really reviews the evidence in this case, and future sexual abuse of minors is inevitable unless he is prosecuted, tried and appropriately sentenced. Money and power should not allow a man to make his own laws, and he has clearly received preferential treatment at every step up to this point. If he were a man of average wealth or the abused girls were from middle or upper class families, then this man would spend the rest of his life in prison. In a country of true, blind justice, those distinctions are irrelevant, and we really hope he does not prove the point that a man can commit heinous crimes against children and buy his way out of it. If the Department of Justice's recent commitment to the protection of our children from child molesters is to be more than rhetoric, then this is the time and the case where the Department must step forward. We urge the Attorney General and our United States 2028 'N STREET,SUITE 202, HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA 33020 OFFIOEt 954-414-8033/305-935-2011 FAX* 954-924-1530/305-935-4227 BEOBRADEDWARDSLAW.00M EFTA00183045 United States Attorney's Office Page Two Attorney to consider the fundamental import of the vigorous enforcement of our Federal laws.

United States of America Case No.: 08-80736-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON Dear Mr. Lee: I am writing to inquire about whether Mr. Epstein has violated his Non-Prosecution Agreement with the Government. As you know, the Government has repeatedly described the Non-Prosecution Agreement as guaranteeing to the victims of Epstein's sexual abuse at least $150,000 in civil damages. The Government has made these representations in reliance on a current provision in the U.S. Code — 18 U.S.C. § 2255(a) — which provides for an automatic amount of damages of at least $150,000. At the time that the Non-Prosecution Agreement was drafted and signed, that was the law that was in effect. In Epstein's latest filing in federal court, however, he takes the position that the pre-2006 Amendments version of the law applies. See Defendant Epstein's Motion to Dismiss, for Mo Definite Statement and To Strike Directed to Plaintiff Jane Doe's Complaint at 9, Jane Doe'. Jeffrey Epstein, No. 08-CIV-80893-Marrallohnson (discussing § 2255 and stating that the "applicable version of the statute" is "pre-2006 Amendments"). The 2006 Amendments altered § 2255(a), by increasing the presumed minimum damages from $50,000 to $150,000. See Pub. L. 109-248, Title VII, § 7070:0, (c), July 27, 2006, 120 Stat. 650. In light of Epstein's latest filing, I write to ask several questions: (1) Would you stipulate that you told me several times that Epstein had agreed to pay at least $150,000 to the identified victims of his abuse? (2) Did Epstein in fact agree to pay damages to the identified victims of his abuse at least $150,000? (3) Did the Government tell victims, either directly or through counsel, that Epstein had agreed to pay his victims at least $150,000? 2028 STREET, SUITE 202, HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA 33020 • OFFICE: 034-414-8033/305-935.-2011 FAX: 354.-924-1530/308-938-4227 • B EDE RADED WARDS LAW.

Biscayne Blvd, Suite 1300 Miami, FL 33131 Re: Jeffrey Epstein Dear Messrs. Goldberger and Black: I write to follow up on my e-mail correspondence of June 24 and June 26, and my message this morning. As of 3:15 p.m., Friday, June 27, 2008, the Office still has not received a copy of a proposed plea agreement between Mr. Epstein and the State Attorney's Office, nor has the Office received notice of a date and time for a change of plea. As you know, the Non-Prosecution Agreement between Mr. Epstein and the Office called for Mr. Epstein to plead, be sentenced, and begin serving his sentence not later than January 4, 2008—almost six months ago. The Office has continued that deadline to allow Mr. Epstein to raise various issues with the Department of Justice, but repeatedly advised that, once those appeals were completed, Mr. Epstein would need to perform the terms of the agreement within a short window thereafter. Now that those appeals have been exhausted, we promptly informed counsel for Mr. Epstein that he must enter his plea, be sentenced, and begin serving his sentence by 5:00 on Monday, June 30, 2008. This week I have sent two e-mails and left a message with Mr. Black's receptionist asking for the date and time of the change of plea and for a copy of the proposed plea agreement between Mr. Epstein and the State Attorney's Office in accordance with the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. I have received no response to any of those requests. EFTA00183049 JACK GOLDBERGER, ESQ. ROY BLACK, ESQ. Jut€ 27, 2008 PAGE 2 OF 2 I have received correspondence from counsel for a witness asking to cancel or continue the witness's appearance because he "understand[s] that there has been a recent development with respect to Mr. Epstein in that he intends to plead guilty in Florida state court on Monday pursuant to a deferred prosecution agreement with your office that has already been executed" and that he has "learned from Mr. Epstein's attorney that the plea is scheduled to take place on Monday morning." I also understand that there is an entry on Judge McSorley's docket that a hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Monday. Both parties have agreed that it is a material term of the Non-Prosecution Agreement that the United States shall have the right to review the terms of any agreements between Epstein and the State Attorney's Office prior to entering into those agreements. If, indeed, the change of plea is set for 8:30 Monday morning, the agreement with the State Attorney's Office must be provided to the Office by 4:30 today to allow adequate time to review and comment. Failure to provide this opportunity shall be deemed a breach of the Agreement. Accordingly, I again ask that you provide me with a copy of the Plea Agreement with the State Attorney's Office and notification of the date and time of the change of plea. Thank you. Sincerely, R.

Goldberger and Black: Thank you for providing me with the proposed plea agreement between Mr. Epstein and the State Attorney's Office. The U.S. Attorney's Office hereby provides Notice that the proposed sentencing provision does nit comply with the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. The second sentencing paragraph of the proposed plea agreement reads: On 08CF009381AMB, the Defendant is sentenced to 18 months Community Control I (one). As a special condition of this Community Control, the Defendant must serve the first 6 months in the Palm Beach County Detention Facility . The Non-Prosecution Agreement specifically provides: Epstein shall be sentenced to consecutive terms of twelve (12) months and six (6) months in county jail for all charges, . . . without probation or community control in lieu of imprisonment. Thus, the proposed plea agreement with the State Attorney's Office does not comply with the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. To comply with the Agreement, Mr. Epstein must make a binding recommendation of eighteen months imprisonment, which means confinement twenty-four EFTA00183052 JACK GOLDBERGER, ESQ. ROY BLACK, ESQ. JUNE 27, 2008 PAGE 2 OF 2 hours a day at the County Jail, and the judge must accept that recommendation. Community control must follow that term of incarceration. Secondly, we have not been provided with a copy of the Information filed in case number 08CF009381AMB. I want to confirm that Mr. Epstein is being charged with the substantive offense of procuring minors to engage in prostitution, not attempted procurement. Accordingly, please provide me with a copy of the Information at your earliest opportunity. I will be available via e-mail throughout the weekend or you may reach me on my cell phone at 561 601-2301.

Lewis Tein, P.L. 3059 Grand Avenue, Suite 340 Coconut Grove, FL 33133 Re: Jeffrey Epstein Dear Mr. Tein: The Office has reviewed your "Notice of Continued Pendency of Federal Criminal Action," and we feel that it misrepresents the posture of the federal investigation. For example, you cite toIn re Grand Jury, No. FGJ 07-103 (WPB), as evidence that the federal criminal action remains pending. That is a citation to Mr. Epstein's Motion to Quash a subpoena for computer equipment removed from Mr. Epstein's home after he and his attorneys were aware of the existence of the state investigation. Pursuant to the Non- Prosecution Agreement, that motion was supposed to have been withdrawn several months ago, and, therefore, is not "pending" in our estimation. The Non-Prosecution Agreement calls for deferment of federal prosecution "in favor of prosecution by the State of Florida, provided that Epstein abides by the [enumerated] conditions and the requirements of th[e] Agreement . .." (Non-Prosecution Agreement, p. 2 (emphasis added).) One of those conditions is Epstein's agreement that the subject Jane Does, while minors, were victims of a violation of an offense enumerated in Title 18, United States Code Section 2255, and that they "will have the same rights to proceed under Section 2255 as [they] would have had if Mr. Epstein had been tried and convicted of an enumerated offense." (United States Attorney's December 19, 2007 letter to Lilly Ann Sanchez.) If, in fact, your position is that the federal criminal action is still pending such that the Court must stay the civil proceedings, then the Office proposes that we seek the prompt resolution of the Motion to Quash, so that the computer equipment can be analyzed and the EFTA00183054 MICHAEL TEIN, ESQ. JULY 17, 2008 PAGE 2 federal investigation can continue. If, instead, Mr. Epstein intends to fully abide by the Non- Prosecution Agreement, then the "federal Grand Jury investigation will remain suspended, and all pending federal Grand Jury subpoenas will be held in abeyance unless and until [Epstein] violates any term of [the Non-Prosecution Agreement]." (Non-Prosecution Agreement, page 5.) Please advise whether you intend to correct the representations to the Court regarding the status of the federal investigation. Sincerely, R.
