----- Original Message -----

From: Acosta, Alex (USAFLS)

To: Villafana, Ann Marie C. (USAFLS); Sloman, Jeff (USAFLS); Senior, Robert

Sent: Fri Aug 15 11:55:13 2008

Subject: RE: New proposed response to Jay

How about a slightly different version:

Thank you for your response. Our communications with Roy Black and later with you were solely to determine what Mr. Epstein considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. We appreciate your answering our question with finality. You have now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December modification, and accordingly, we will now consider that modification to be a nullity.

Pursuant to our Agreement, I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the name of additional identified victims. In accordance with Paragraph 7B, please provide me with a proposed written submission to the Special Master by Monday afternoon.

Finally, as you are aware, yhe United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with that Order, we will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by your client. We understand that Mr. Goldberg may not have provided the state court with a true copy of the complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that error.

Subject: New proposed response to Jay

Thank you for your response. Our communications with Roy Black and later with you were solely to determine what Mr. Epstein considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. You have now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December modification and does not intend to perform the obligations set forth therein. The Office is not going to continue negotiating the terms of the Agreement. We only sought finality and you have answered our question. Accordingly, the December proposed modification is hereby withdrawn.

The United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement and, in accordance with that Order, will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by your client. Mr. Goldberger should be advised that we

understand he has not provided the state court with a true copy of the complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that error. I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the name of additional identified victims and will provide that to you promptly.

In accordance with Paragraph 7B of the Agreement, please provide me with a proposed written submission to the Special Master by Monday afternoon. We will expect a showing of good faith in the selection of the attorney representative and all other terms of the Agreement and excessive delays, like those that have occurred in the past, will be considered a breach of that duty of good faith.

Sincerely,

A. Marie Villafaña
