CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF SETTLEMENT
I. This Confidentiality Agreement Against Unauthorized Disclosure of Settlement
("CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT") is entered into by and between
("RELEASOR") and JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("RELEASEE") (joint13 referred to
as the "PARTIES") in order to settle all claims asserted or which could be asserted by
RELEASOR against RELEASEE.
2. Reference is made to the Settlement Agreement and General Release of All Claims
(the "SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT") executed by the PARTIES as part of the settlement of
RELEASOR'S claims against RELEASEE, pursuant to which the PARTIES are entering into this
Confidentiality Agreement. In exchange for the consideration set forth in the SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT, along with other good and sufficient consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the PARTIES, and their attorneys, agents, employees and representatives, agree that
they will keep completely confidential and will not directly or indirectly disclose or reveal to any
person or entity, or in any way publicize or cause to be publicized in any news or communications
media, including, but not limited to newspapers, magazines, journals, radio, television, intemet sites,
or jury verdict or settlement reports, the terms of the SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT or the
settlement contemplated thereby (the "SETTLEMENT"), the amount of the settlement payment to
be made pursuant thereto (the "SETTLEMENT AMOUNT"), the SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT itself, the terms of this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, the
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT itself, and the related settlement discussions, unless
required by law or unless after filing under seal, they are determined relevant in some other legal
action by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction. The PARTIES expressly agree
not to comment on the SETTLEMENT to any person or to any member of the news media. The
PARTIES further agree that the terms of the SETTLEMENT may be used only in a court or
EFTA01093051
agency proceeding in which the existence or validity of the SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT or this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT is at issue, unless otherwise required by law or rule.
Additionally, the PARTIES agree that they will refrain from making negative or disparaging
comments about either party to anyone with respect to the terms of the Settlement, and the related
settlement discussions. Nothing in this paragraph precludes RELEASOR or RELEASEE from
divulging the terms of the SETTLEMENT to her or his immediate family, accountants, tax
advisors, or legal counsel. This paragraph is intended to become part of the consideration for the
SETTLEMENT.
3. Any third party who is advised of the SETTLEMENT AMOUNT or the terms of the
SETTLEMENT must acknowledge that such third party is aware of this CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENT and is bound by it, including the provisions contained in this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT relating to enforcement thereof.
4. The PARTIES agree that they shall not provide a copy, in whole or in part or in any
form, of the SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT to any third party, except to the extent required by
law or rule or in response to a validly issued subpoena from a governmental or regulatory agency.
Moreover, RELEASOR and RELEASEE, individually, both agree that neither this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, nor the SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, nor the terms of
either agreement, shall be used or disclosed in any court, arbitration, or other legal proceedings,
except to enforce the provisions of those agreements.
5. If either of the PARTIES is served with a valid subpoena, court order, governmental
agency order, or other compulsory legal process, pursuant to which disclosure of the
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT and/or this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, the
SETTLEMENT AMOUNT, or other terms is requested, the PARTY so served shall give counsel
for the other PARTY notice thereof within five (5) days of such service and, prior to making any
2
EFTA01093052
such disclosure, shall give counsel to such other PARTY at least ten (10) days to commence
necessary proceedings to obtain a court order preventing, limiting, or otherwise restricting such
disclosure, provided that the Subpoena or Order does not require compliance in less than fifteen (15)
days. Should compliance be required in less than fifteen (15) days, the PARTY to whom the request
is made shall use his or her best efforts to request additional time for compliance.
6. This CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT shall be construed, enforced and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State ofFlorida, and venue for any action to enforce or
construe the CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT shall be in Palm Beach County, Florida. The
PARTIES affirmatively state that they have had equal input into determining the terms of this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT and it is the PARTIES desire that this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT not be construed for or against any PARTY by virtue of
that PARTY drafting this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.
7. If one or more paragraph(s) of this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT shall be
ruled unenforceable, either RELEASEE or RELEASOR may elect to enforce the remainder of this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.
8. The PARTIES expressly acknowledge and agree that if either RELEASOR or
RELEASEE alleges that a breach of this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT has occurred, the
aggrieved PARTY may seek an appropriate remedy with the Court. If any legal action, proceeding
or hearing is brought by any PARTY to this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT to enforce the
terms and conditions of this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, then the prevailing PARTY
shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including fees and costs on appeal.
9. Each of the PARTIES understands and agrees that the amount of NINETY
THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($90,000.00) to be paid pursuant to the SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT is to be paid exclusively to resolve RELEASOR's disputed claims as set forth in
3
EFTA01093053
the SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT and was agreed upon and is to be paid irrespective of this
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT. RELEASEE has requested this CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENT that contains certain confidentiality components; the confidentiality provisions are
being mutually agreed upon by both PARTIES and each PARTY understands that no monetary
consideration has been paid for this CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT or any of the
confidential aspects of the SETTLEMENT.
10. This CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding between the PARTIES with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior
negotiations with respect to such subject matter are merged into this CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENT. This CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT may not be modified except as may
be set forth in writing and executed by the PARTIES. The PARTIES acknowledge that there are
no other promises, agreements, conditions, undertakings, warranties or representations, oral or
written, expressed or implied, between them with respect to the subject matter hereof other than as
set forth herein.
