CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF SETTLEMENT
I. This Confidentiality Agreement Against Unauthorized Disclosure of Settlement
Amount ("Confidentiality Agreement") is entered into by and between DANIELLE KELLET
("RELEASOR") and JEFFREY EPSTEIN ("RELEASEE") (jointly referred to as the
"PARTIES") in order to settle all claims asserted or which could be asserted against RELEASEE
and to settle all claims asserted in the action entitled D.K. v. JEFFREY EPSTEIN, ("the Action").
2. In exchange for the consideration set forth in the Settlement Agreement and General
Release of All Claims (the "Settlement Agreement") executed as part of the settlement of the
Action, 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, internet sites,
or jury verdict or settlement reports, the terms of the settlement of the Action, the amount of the
settlement, the Settlement Agreement itself, the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement, 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 to decline comment on the settlement to any person or
to any member of the news media, and can only confirm that the case indeed settled and the terms
are confidential. The PARTIES further agree that the terms of the aforementioned settlement may
be used only in a court or 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
EFTA00295809
comments about either party to anyone with respect to the terms of the aforementioned settlement,
and the related settlement discussions. Nothing in this paragraph precludes RELEASOR from
divulging the terms of said settlement to her immediate family, tax advisors, or legal counsel. This
paragraph is intended to become part of the consideration for said 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 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
EFTA00295810
(15) days, the Party to whom the request is made shall use their 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 of Florida, 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's drafting of 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 ONE HUNDRED
THIRTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($135,000.00) paid to settle the Action is being
paid exclusively to compensate RELEASOR for her physical injuries alleged in her Complaint and
was agreed upon and paid irrespective of this 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
EFTA00295811
monetary consideration has been paid for this Confidentiality Agreement or any of the confidential
aspects of this 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 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 other than as set forth herein.
