Hi
— Do you remember the name of the person whom you spoke with at the Sheriff's Office about
calculating JE's good time? I recall that he was supposed to be released in November 2009, but earned
additional "good time" while on work release, which resulted in him getting out in July. Is that correct?

Dear
On second thought my letter yesterday went too far in one respect. So that there is no misunderstanding of
the last paragraph of yesterday's letter, our concern is not that the attorney representative in fact has used the threat of
a breach as leverage to get his fees, only that there exists the legitimate concern that the agreement could be so used
and the reality that any concern about such use significantly and unfairly burdens Mr Epstein's right to resort to the
courts to resolve outstanding legal issues regarding the criteria for payment and the amount of payment owed. I hope
this clarifies our concern in this one area. Thanks Roy

We are now facing a difficult issue about the attorney's fees in the civil cases
brought against Mr. Epstein related to your prior criminal investigation. I
broached this subject with you on the phone a couple of weeks ago, but I could
see our discussion was not fruitful at that time. Since we could not come to any
agreement on how to handle this, we must proceed ahead based on our
understanding of the non-prosecution agreement.
Mr. Epstein has paid the attorney representative $526,000 and accepts his
obligation under the NPA to pay additional reasonable legal fees that precede
litigation claims under 17C of the Addendum. However we believe that the
request by the attorney representative for over $1.5M additional fees is both
unreasonable and outside the Addendum's criteria for payment.
Litigation may ensue since we have been unable to resolve these matters
through an agreement. We never contemplated that the legal fee agreement would
result in a bill for $2.1M when the Addendum was entered. We understand you
and Jay had different views on whether an attorney representative could both sue
Epstein for some clients and remain as counsel to settle other cases. We believe
that the attorney representative could either settle the cases and be paid hourly
or litigate and be paid out of the judgment, but not both. The language of the NPA
is in need of legal construction regarding whether Epstein's obligations end when

the attorney representative brings a lawsuit for any of his clients - a matter that
a court should settle free from any consideration that initiating litigation to resolve
this outstanding issue would be perceived as a breach.
Just to be sure, Mr. Epstein will pay whatever fees a court determines are
owed and we only want assurance that litigating the legal and factual issues over
such liability will be consistent with and not violate the NPA. We don't think it is
the government's position that Epstein must simply pay any bill he receives,
