to be updated whenever there has been a material change in her financial condition (other than as

grant Plaintiff any right, title, or interest in the Property or any assets of Shana Madoff; or (ii)

affect Plaintiff’s contention that the property and assets of Shana Madoff constitute customer

property.

10. Shana Madoff shall: (i) maintain documentation of all her individual expenditures in

excess of $500 with credit card statements, bank records, checks, invoices, and any other such

documentation necessary to demonstrate the legitimacy, necessity, reasonableness, date, amount,

and receipt of such payments; (ii) shall provide such records to the Plaintiff upon request; and

I have completed this financial disclosure form in a good-faith effort to accurately set forth my
assets and liabilities as of this date. I am not aware of any property, assets, interests, or liabilities
as of this date other than what is set forth herein. The information contained herein is based on
account statements and other documents where available, and on memory or estimation where
documents where not available. The estimated values of certain assets do not purport to be
reliable accurate values of what these assets might sell for in today’s market; they are good faith
speculative guesses and no more. The submission of this form does not constitute and is not
intended to constitute an admission of any liability or culpability of the undersigned or a waiver
of any privilege, immunity, or defense.

I have made this financial disclosure at the request of Baker Hostetler, LLP (“BH”) for the
purpose of informing the Trustee of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC of my present
financial condition in connection with claims asserted against me in the action filed by the
Trustee on May 1, 2009 entitled Picard v. Peter B. Madoff, Mark D. Madoff, Andrew H. Madoff,
and Shana D. Madoff, Adv. Pro. No. 09-1503-BRL. I know that BH’s acceptance of this
disclosure will be in reliance upon the accuracy of the statements and representations made
herein.
