To: Stephen Hanson From: Jeffrey Epstein Sent Fri 12/6/2013 11:01:53 PM Subject: Re: BR Guest I see you are still pissed. I m sorry, I have always fulfilled my responsbilites to the bst of my ability and of course will continue to do so. The items you listed are all complex issues . in order to have the best chance to achieve those goals. and per our agreed contract. I would need to have by my side a cfo that I have agreed. Dan is not that person. and I find it odd that you would on one hand want the best results and at the same time attempt to burden me with someone who I have not agreed to be part of my team. I appreciate the offer ofjames at no charge. and might call on him, I might call on dan as well , but to accomplish the best result for the investors the company and its employees requires a different person . please choose another one as soon as possible. The alternative is you put aside your anger and do what you know is best. and lets finish our seperation agreement. On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 5:23 PM, Stephen Hanson wrote: This just came in. From: Barry Stemlicht [mailto Sent: Friday, December 06, 2013 5:07 PM To: Steve Hanson Cc: Dan Yih; Ellis Rinaldi Subject: BR Guest Dear Steve, Since regrettably we were not able to come to an agreement on your separation from BRG Guest (the "Company"), we will be expecting you to fulfill all of your duties as CEO of the Company. We wish to point out that under your written employment agreement, you are required to "serve the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates faithfully and to the best of [your] ability and devote [your] full business, time, energy, experience and talents to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates." We do expect you to comply with those duties to the best of your ability and in good faith. There are a few renewal issues and some other redesigns/reformulations that we know will need your attention. Dan Yih, as CFO, will be with you at the Company to assist you to ensure that the Company will operate smoothly and make sure we are totally coordinated and moving forward. I do understand you have discussed with Dan and Evan Crandall certain priorities (e.g., finalize the 2014 budget, implement an incentive plan for employee retention, finalize the design and menu changes at the Blue Fin, execute the Blue Fin lease amendment, obtain an extension at EFTA_R1_00406777 EFTA01945036 Wildwood, seek resolution with Harrahs of the lease at Sammy D's). We expect you will give these matters special attention and to accomplish all of the tasks associated with such priorities as expeditiously and professionally as possible in the bests interest of the Company, its investors and employees. Of course we offer the full assistance, free of charge, of James Gersten to help with these issues should you want to delegate and simply supervise some of these tasks. Thanks.
