JOSEFSBERG Subject: Re: Epstein The client has informed me and I will send you a note today on his position. Sorry for the delay. >>> "ROBERT C. JOSEFSBERG" < 2/6/2009 2:39 PM >>> Having not heard from you, I assume that you still do not have sufficient direction, or are still lacking client input. I've had 3 or 4 issues pending since our conversation of 1/23 or 1/24. I've waited two weeks for your responses, and + am running out of time. I understand and sympathize with your situation. I wish someone would attempt to understand my situation. You are leaving me very limited alternatives. Original Message From: Roy BLACK To: ROBERT C.

JOSEFSBERG' 2/5/2009 11:17 AM >>> Roy - you wrote on 2/3 that you were advised that "a check went out today". It did not. This morning 100,000 was wired. There was 200,000 that was more than 90 days overdue. The 50 percent payment is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this matter is going to blow up. My partner, Podhurst wants to bring this to a head by tomorrow. I will try to reach you during the lunch break in my arbitration. You were supposed to get back to me on yesterday - after you received "client input". I understand your situation - but it is apparent that your client does not care about his agreements, and is. Making everything impossible. I though it was appropriate to let you know before we take further action. Original From: Roy BLACK To: ROBERT C.

JOSEFSBERG" < 2/3/2009 1:33 PM >>> >>> I'll be at my arbitration from approx 9 till 6. I'll try to call you during a break - or you can call me after 6. Why don't you email me after you get your client input - and I'll call you after that. Original From: Roy BLACK To: ROBERT C.

JOSEFSBERG Sent: Tue Feb 03 12:47:59 2009 Subject: Epstein Bob: I am told a check went out today. I am also told there will be push back on further expenses without a settlement. So we need to discuss settling the cases. Jeffrey will not pay more for the fees and expenses without the start of settlement negotiations. So let's discuss. Roy 2 EFTA00212848
