Jay,
I just got off the phone with Alex. Here is the revised paragraph 1.
Thanks, Jeff
1.
The United States has the right to assign to an independent
third-party the responsibility for consulting with and, subject to the
good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, selecting the attorney
representative for the victims. If the United States elects to assign
this responsibility to an independent third-party, the United States
retains the right to request that the independent third-party consult
with the United States after the preliminary selection but prior to
the final designation of the attorney representative.

Jay,
Pursuant to our conversation. Thanks,

IN RE:
INVESTIGATION OF
JEFFREY EPSTEIN
EFTA00213584
ADDENDUM TO THE NON-PROSECUTION
AGREEMENT
IT APPEARING that the parties seek to clarify certain provisions
of page 4, paragraph 7 of the Non-Prosecution Agreement
(hereinafter "paragraph 7"), that agreement is modified as follows:
1.
The United States has the right to assign to an independent
third-party, the responsibility for consulting with and, subject to the
good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, selecting the attorney
representative for the victims. If the United Slates elects to assign
this responsibility to an independent third-party, the United States
retains the right to request that the independent third-party also
consult with the United States.
2.
Pursuant to paragraph 7, Epstein has agreed to pay the fees of
the attorney representative. This provision, however, shall not
obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of contested litigation
filed against him. Thus, if after consideration of potential
settlements, the attorney representative elects to file a contested
lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. s 2255 or elects to pursue any other
contested remedy, the paragraph 7 obligation to pay the costs of the
attorney representative, as opposed to any statutory or other
obligations to pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs such as those
contained in s 2255 to bear the costs of the attorney representative,
shall cease.
By signing this Addendum, Epstein asserts and
certifies that the above has been read and explained to
hint Epstein hereby states that he understands the
clarifications to the Non-Prosecution Agreement and
agrees to comply with them.

neither the United States nor Epstein's counsel shall
communicate with the independent third party nor shall
the United States communicate with the attorney
representative selected by him" in your 1(a).
1. The United States has the right to assign to an

2. The parties will jointly prepare a short written

the role of the attorney representative and regarding
Epstein's Agreement to pay such attorney
representative his or her regular customary hourly

Re:
Service as a Special Master
Dear Judge Davis:
Thank you for agreeing to serve as a Special Master and for assisting the United
States Attorney's Office in the selection of an attorney representative to represent a group
of identified victims. This letter is meant to assist you in performing your duties by
providing you with background information regarding the agreement between the United
States and Jeffrey Epstein and the duties that the attorney representative will have to
perform.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office conducted an
investigation of Mr. Epstein. As a result of that investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office
and Mr. Epstein entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement and an Addendum that
contains, inter alit; the following terms:
7(a)The United States has the right to assign to an independent third-party the responsibility
for consulting with and, subject to the good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, selecting the
attorney representative for the individuals identified under the Agreement. If the United
States elects to assign this responsibility to an independent third-party, both the United States
and Epstein retain the right to make good faith objections to the attorney representative

suggested by the independent third-party prior to the final designation of the attorney
representative.
7(b)The parties will jointly prepare a short written submission to the independent third-party
regarding the role of the attorney representative and regarding Epstein's Agreement to pay
such attorney representative his or her regular customary hourly rate for representing such
victims subject to the provisions of paragraph 7(c), infra.
7(c). Pursuant to additional paragraph 7(a), Epstein has agreed to pay the fees of the attorney
representative selected by the independent third party. This provision, however, shall not
obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of contested litigation filed against him. Thus, if
after consideration of potential settlements, an attorney representative elects to file a contested
lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. s 2255 or elects to pursue any other contested remedy, the
paragraph 7 obligation of the Agreement to pay the costs of the attorney representative, as
opposed to any statutory or other obligations to pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs such
as those contained in s 2255 to bear the costs of the attorney representative, shall cease.
8.If any of the individuals referred to [in the paragraphs above] elects to file
suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida over
his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest
liability and also waives his right to contest damages up to an amount
agreed to between Epstein and the identified individual, so long as the
identified individual elects to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255,
and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state,
federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this waiver, with respect to those
individuals whose names appear on the list provided by the United States,
Epstein's signature on this agreement, his waivers and failures to contest
liability and such damages in any suit are not to be construed as an
admission of any criminal or civil liability.
9.Epstein's signature on this agreement also is not to be construed
admission of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or
other defense as to any person whose name does not appear on the list
provided by the United States.
10.Except as to those individuals who elect to proceed exclusively under 18
U.S.C. § 2255, as set forth in [the above paragraphs], neither Epstein's
signature on this agreement, nor its terms, nor any resulting waivers or
settlements by Epstein are to be construed as admissions or evidence of
civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense
as to any person, whether or not her name appears on the list provided by
the United States.

The most recent version of the statute referenced above, 18 U.S.C. § 2255,
provides that:
My person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section . . .
2422 or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such
violation, regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a
minor, may suc in any appropriate United States District Court and shall
recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit,
including a reasonable attorney's fee.
Any person as described in the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less
than $150,000 in value.
Section 2422 prohibits the use of a facility of interstate commerce to induce minors
to engage in sexual activity and prostitution, and section 2423 prohibits interstate travel
for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity or prostitution with minors. The United
States has identified
victims as defined by this statute.
Due to the circumstances of the case and the number and caliber of the attorneys
who represent Mr. Epstein, in selecting the victims' attorney representative, the United
States suggests that you consider the following criteria:
1.
Experience doing both plaintiffs' and defense litigation.
2.
Experience with state and federal statutory and common law tort claims.
3.
The ability to communicate effectively with young women (the victims'
current ages are between 16 and 24).
4.
Employment with a firm large enough to handle the possibility of at least a
dozen trials at the same time.
5.
Experience litigating against large law firms and high profile attorneys.
6.
Sensitivity to the nature of the suit and the victims' interest in maintaining
their privacy.
7.
Experience litigating in federal court in the Southern District of Florida.

8.
The resources to hire experts and others, while working on a contingency
fee basis, in order to prepare for trial, if a settlement cannot be reached.
9.
The ability to negotiate effectively.
Pursuant to this letter, the United States assigns to you the responsibility for
consulting with and selecting the attorney representative for the individuals. The United
States and Epstein retain the right to make good faith objections to the attorney
representative you select prior to the final designation of the attorney representative. In
that regard, after you have reached a decision regarding the attorney representative, please
provide me with his or her name and contact information.
If I can provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact

Jay,
The Judge Davis issue is a non-starter. We've beaten
that horse to death. Regarding your contention that
"the attorney representative be told clearly that Mr.
Epstein has agreed to pay the lawyer's hourly rate
only for the time he or she spends working to
effectuate settlements for the identified women," Alex
and I agree that paragraph 7C is sufficient,
Regarding the other points, we have made the following
concessions:
1.
Regarding the language concerning a
lawyer whose firm is sizeable enough to litigate
multiple trials simultaneously, I have removed
paragraph 4 on page 3 of the letter.
2.
Regarding the 150k statutory limit
language, I have included a footnote which should
satisfy your concern.
3.
Regarding language there may be
discovery to test the claims of alleged "victims",
please see new paragraph 4 on page 3 which now states
as criteria that the firm should have "Experience
litigating against large law firms and high profile
attorneys who may test the veracity of the victims'
claims."
I have attached the Addendum and the revised letter to
Judge Davis. Jay, this needs to be concluded. Alex and
I believe that this is as far as we can go. Therefore,
please advise me whether we have a deal no later than
COB tomorrow, Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Thanks,
Jeff

IT APPEARING that the parties seek to clarify certain provisions of page 4,

7A.
The United States has the right to assign to an independent third-party the

If the United States elects to assign this

Agreement to pay such attorney representative his or her regular customary hourly

Pursuant to additional paragraph 7A, Epstein has agreed to pay the fees of the

however, shall not obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of contested litigation

Agreement to pay the costs of the attorney representative, as opposed to any
statutory or other obligations to pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs such as
those contained in s 2255 to bear the costs of the attorney representative, shall
cease.
By signing this Addendum, Epstein asserts and certifies that the above has been read
and explained to him. Epstein hereby states that he understands the clarifications to the

designation of the attorney representative.
7B. The parties will jointly prepare a short written submission to the
independent third-party regarding the role of the attorney representative and
regarding Epstein's Agreement to pay such attorney representative his or
her regular customary hourly rate for representing such victims subject to
the provisions of paragraph 7C, infra.
7C. Pursuant to additional paragraph 7A, Epstein has agreed to pay the fees
of the attorney representative selected by the independent third party. This
provision, however, shall not obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of
contested litigation filed against him. Thus, if after consideration of
potential settlements, an attorney representative elects to file a contested
lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255 or elects to pursue any other contested
remedy, the paragraph 7 obligation of the Agreement to pay the costs of the
attorney representative, as opposed to any statutory or other obligations to
pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs such as those contained in § 2255 to
bear the costs of the attorney representative, shall cease.
8.If any of the individuals referred to [in the paragraphs above] elects to file
suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida over
his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest
liability and also waives his right to contest damages up to an amount
agreed to between Epstein and the identified individual, so long as the
identified individual elects to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255,
and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state,
federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this waiver, with respect to those
individuals whose names appear on the list provided by the United States,
Epstein's signature on this agreement, his waivers and failures to contest
liability and such damages in any suit are not to be construed as an
admission of any criminal or civil liability.
9.Epstein's signature on this agreement also is not to be construed
admission of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or
other defense as to any person whose name does not appear on the list
provided by the United States.

10.Except as to those individuals who elect to proceed exclusively under 18
U.S.C. § 2255, as set forth in [the above paragraphs], neither Epstein's
signature on this agreement, nor its terms, nor any resulting waivers or
settlements by Epstein arc to be construed as admissions or evidence of
civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense
as to any person, whether or not her name appears on the list provided by
the United States.
The most recent version of the statute referenced above, 18 U.S.C. § 2255,
provides that:
Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section . . .
2422 or 2423 of this tide and who suffers personal injury as a result of such
violation, regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a
minor, may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall
recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit,
including a reasonable attorney's fee. Any person as described in the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less
than $150,000 in value.'
Section 2422 prohibits the use of a facility of interstate commerce to induce minors
to engage in sexual activity and prostitution, and section 2423 prohibits interstate travel
for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity or prostitution with minors. The United
States has identified 34 victims as defined by this statute.
Pursuant to this letter, the United States assigns to you the responsibility for
consulting with and selecting the attorney representative for the individuals. The United
States and Epstein retain the right to make good faith objections to the attorney
representative you select prior to the final designation of the attorney representative. In
that regard, after you have reached a decision regarding the attorney representative, please
provide me with his or her name and contact information.
' An earlier version of this statute deems that any person described in the preceding
sentence shall have sustained damages of no less than $50,000 in value.

Re:
Service as a Special Master
Dear Judge Davis:
Thank you for agreeing to serve as a Special Master and for assisting the United
States Attorney's Office in the selection of an attorney representative to represent a group
of identified victims. This letter is meant to assist you in performing your duties by
providing you with background information regarding the agreement between the United
States and Jeffrey Epstein and the duties that the attorney representative will have to
perform.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office conducted an
investigation of Mr. Epstein. As a result of that investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office
and Mr. Epstein entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement and an Addendum that
contains, inter alia, the following terms:
7A. The United States has the right to assign to an independent third-party
the responsibility for consulting with and, subject to the good faith approval
of Epstein's counsel, selecting the attorney representative for the individuals
identified under the Agreement. If the United States elects to assign this

Page 2 of 4
responsibility to an independent third-party, both the United States and
Epstein retain the right to make good faith objections to the attorney
representative suggested by the independent third-party prior to the final
designation of the attorney representative.
7B. The parties will jointly prepare a short written submission to the
independent third-party regarding the role of the attorney representative and
regarding Epstein's Agreement to pay such attorney representative his or
her regular customary hourly rate for representing such victims subject to
the provisions of paragraph 7C, infra.
7C. Pursuant to additional paragraph 7A, Epstein has agreed to pay the fees
of the attorney representative selected by the independent third party. This
provision, however, shall not obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of
contested litigation filed against him. Thus, if after consideration of
potential settlements, an attorney representative elects to file a contested
lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255 or elects to pursue any other contested
remedy, the paragraph 7 obligation of the Agreement to pay the costs of the
attorney representative, as opposed to any statutory or other obligations to
pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs such as those contained in § 2255 to
bear the costs of the attorney representative, shall cease.
8.If any of the individuals referred to [in the paragraphs above] elects to file
suit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2255, Epstein will not contest the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida over
his person and/or the subject matter, and Epstein waives his right to contest
liability and also waives his right to contest damages up to an amount
agreed to between Epstein and the identified individual, so long as the
identified individual elects to proceed exclusively under 18 U.S.C. § 2255,
and agrees to waive any other claim for damages, whether pursuant to state,
federal, or common law. Notwithstanding this waiver, with respect to those
individuals whose names appear on the list provided by the United States,
Epstein's signature on this agreement, his waivers and failures to contest
liability and such damages in any suit are not to be construed as an
admission of any criminal or civil liability.
9-Epstein's signature on this agreement also is not to be construed
admission of civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or
other defense as to any person whose name does not appear on the list
provided by the United States.

10.Except as to those individuals who elect to proceed exclusively under 18
U.S.C. § 2255, as set forth in [the above paragraphs], neither Epstein's
signature on this agreement, nor its terms, nor any resulting waivers or
settlements by Epstein are to be construed as admissions or evidence of
civil or criminal liability or a waiver of any jurisdictional or other defense
as to any person, whether or not her name appears on the list provided by
the United States.
The most recent version of the statute referenced above, 18 U.S.C. § 2255,
provides that:
Any person who, while a minor, was a victim of a violation of section . .
2422 or 2423 of this title and who suffers personal injury as a result of such
violation, regardless of whether the injury occurred while such person was a
minor, may sue in any appropriate United States District Court and shall
recover the actual damages such person sustains and the cost of the suit,
including a reasonable attomey's fee. Any person as described in the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to have sustained damages of no less
than $150,000 in value.'
Section 2422 prohibits the use of a facility of interstate commerce to induce minors
to engage in sexual activity and prostitution, and section 2423 prohibits interstate travel
for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity or prostitution with minors. The United
States has identified 34 victims as defined by this statute. The United States takes no
position as to the validity of any such claim under this statute.
Due to the circumstances of the case and the number and caliber of the attorneys
who represent Mr. Epstein, in selecting the victims' attorney representative, the United
States suggests that you consider the following criteria:
1.
Experience doing both plaintiffs' and defense litigation.
2.
Experience with state and federal statutory and common law tort claims.
3.
The ability to communicate effectively with young women.
' An earlier version of this statute deems that any person described in the preceding
sentence shall have sustained damages of no less than $50,000 in value.
EFTA00213627
The Hon. Edward B. Davis (Ret.)
October

4.
Experience litigating against large law firms and high profile attorneys who
may test the veracity of the victims' claims.
5.
Sensitivity to the nature of the suit and the victims' interest in maintaining
their privacy.
6.
Experience litigating in federal court in the Southern District of Florida.
7.
The resources to hire experts and others, while working on a contingency
fee basis, in order to prepare for trial, if a settlement cannot be reached (defense
counsel has reserved the right to challenge such litigation).
8.
The ability to negotiate effectively.
Pursuant to this letter, the United States assigns to you the responsibility for
consulting with and selecting the attorney representative for the individuals. The United
States and Epstein retain the right to make good faith objections to the attorney
representative you select prior to the fmal designation of the attorney representative. In
that regard, after you have reached a decision regarding the attorney representative, please
provide me with his or her name and contact information.
If I can provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact
me and/or the U.S. Attorney and/or Ja Lefkowitz, Esq. on behalf of Epstein. Mr.
Letkowitz can be reached at

Jay,
I called Judge Davis before I sent him the agreed upon letter. He
indicated his willingness to serve as the "decider." I will call him
tomorrow to see whether anything has changed and when we can
anticipate a decision. Regarding the subpoena question, let me
think about that overnight. Thanks,
