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 contaithefer 
alga, 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 
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.

U.S.C. § 2255, as set forth in [the above paragraphs], neither Epstein's

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 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. 
Experience litigating against large law firms and high profile attorneys who

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 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 me.

Jeff — I will review these materials this evening and be in touch with you tomorrow with the expectation of wrapping this up 
by the end of the day. One question I have, however, is why you say that Judge Davis is a non-starter. I understood that 
he was ready, willing and able to serve as the attorney representative. If you have had conversations with him and that is 
not the case, please let me know. 
I will go over the other issues you raise in your email and wil look forward to speaking tomorrow.

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

Subject: Re:

ff - 
I have reviewed your proposed language and wanted to raise a few areas of concern. 
First, I am not sure why we are not just asking Judge Davis to represent these women. If 
he is available, that would save us a whole additional layer of process. 
I had thought 
that was initially the idea. I am not sure why you seem to be moving in another 
direction. 
I also cannot understand why the draft affirmatively requests that J Davis select a 
lawyer whose firm is sizeable enough to litigate multiple trials simultaneously. That 
seems to be directly at odds with the purpose of the agreement, which is to facilitate 
out of court settlements. 
Indeed, to the extent any woman were to elect to bring an 
action against Mr. Epstein, she would not only be free to select any lawyer of her 
choice, but would be restricted from using the lawyer representative in this capacity due 
to the conflicts of interests that would cause. 
This part of your proposed language is 
of signficiant concern to me. 
Your letter also indicates the 150k statutory limit without reference to the pre-
existing 50G limit. To be sure, any of the women are free to seek whatever settlement 
they want, but given the question that exists about the statutory amount, the letter 
should not state definitely that it will be 150k. 
In addition, you have omitted a few important items from your proposal. Given that Judge 
Davis or any other potential attorney representative should understand the scope of the 
work, the language should make clear that there may be discovery to test the claims of 
alleged "victims." 
• nally, I think it is important that the attorney representative be told clearly that 
.ir. 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.

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 contaitisfer 
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 
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 Epstcin'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. 
8.1f 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
