IN RE:
INVESTIGATION OF
JEFFREY EPSTEIN
/
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:
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 C, 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. 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.
EFTA00755430
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 Non-Prosecution Agreement and agrees to comply with them.
