What limits are placed upon individuals who proceed under 2255 as if "Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted 
of an enumerated offense." In other words, what individuals would have this right? And would these individual only 
have this right if they proceeded exclusively under 2255? Also, to what enumerated offenses do you think would Mr. 
Epstein have to make constructive admissions of conviction? and how many such offenses? And against 
whom? Remember that while you may have investigated various offenses, he only plead guilty to certain state crimes. 
Finally, would paragraphs 8-10 of the September Agreement still be operative? 
I am trying hard to understand what you have intended by the December letter. Alex has says he thinks it benefits Jeffrey, 
and I am open to understanding it that way. But I would like some clarity on these issues. 
Thanks -- Jay

Hi Jay — I forgot to mention that I can no longer argue that the Court shouldn't force us to produce the 
agreement because we have already provided the victims with the relevant portion when I now understand from 
you that I have NOT provided them with the relevant portion.

Just received a response from Jay. I'm not sure what he means about talking "this morning," since I haven't 
spoken to him today. 
I don't believe that we should wait two weeks for them to confer. They have the ability to confer over the 
telephone or to come and visit him (as reported in the Palm Beach Post). 
Here is my proposed response: 
Dear Jay: 
Thank you for your response. It is our position that Mr. Epstein accepted the December modification by his 
performance. If you prefer to return to the language of the October addendum, we have no objection, but, as 
you know, I have been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement and I cannot wait two weeks to do 
so. Please advise me by noon on Monday in writing, preferably signed by your client, whether Mr. Epstein 
intends to perform according to the terms of the December modification or whether he elects to return to the 
October addendum. 
If Mr. Epstein elects to perform according to the terms of the October addendum, then please prepare a 
proposed written submission to the Special Master, in accordance with Paragraph 7B, for my review by Monday 
afternoon. The extensive delays of the past will no longer be tolerated, and the Office will insist upon a 
showing of good faith performance in the selection of the attorney representative and all other terms of the 
Agreement.

Marie - thanks for responding to my email. You have narrowed down some of the implementation issues. 
As I told you this morning, we cannot accept your contention that Mr. Epstein is bound by an agreement he 
didn't sign as opposed to one he did sign, particularly in light of my written communications to your 
office dated December 21, 2007 and December 26, 2007. However, before we can make a determination 
whether to adopt the December language as you have now explained it, we need to confer with our client, which 
we will be able to do within the next two weeks. 
I look forward to speaking with you soon to resolve these issues.

Subject: RE: Follow-up point 
Dear Jay: 
The modification contained in the December letter is clear and simple, that is why we were not surprised by Mr. 
Epstein's and his attorneys' actions affirming acceptance of the modification. Mr. Epstein's acceptance of the 
modification by pleading guilty was equally clear and simple -- it followed written communications from Mr. 
Sloman and myself that read: "Mr. Epstein has until the close of business on Monday, June 30, 2008, to comply 
with the terms and conditions of the agreement between the United States and Mr. Epstein (as modified by the 
U.S. Attorney's December 19i6letter to Ms. Sanchez), including entry of a guilty plea, sentencing, and 
surrendering to begin his sentence of imprisonment." 
As clearly stated in the December letter, only those "individuals whom [the United States] was prepared to 
name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense" are the beneficiaries of the agreement. That is the 
list of names that I provided to Messrs. Goldberger and Tein following the change of plea. Under the 
September/October agreement, all "individuals whom [the United States] has identified as victims" are the 
beneficiaries, so I would prepare a supplement to the earlier list to include identified victims whom we were not 
yet prepared to name in an indictment. 
Again, as stated in the letter, the modification replaces paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Agreement, including 
paragraphs 7A through 7C that are included in the October Addendum. This means that Mr. Epstein's waiver 
of "his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein" 
will no longer exist, nor will Mr. Epstein's obligation to pay for the victims' counsel. Paragraphs 9 and 10 are 
still in effect. This includes the statement that there is no admission of civil or criminal liability, and that, 
"[e]xcept as to those individuals who elect to proceed EXCLUSIVELY under 18 USC § 2255, .. . Epstein's 
signature [cannot] be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability." This addresses your 
question regarding exclusivity. 
I don't think that Mr. Epstein has to make any constructive admissions of conviction. He only needs to admit 
that the 32 girls whose names I have provided to Mr. Goldberger are "victims" of an offense listed in 18 U.S.C. 
2255.

our question with finality. You have now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December

Pursuant to our Agreement, I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the name of additional

We either have to do the October Agreement or the December Agreement, I don't think we can let them get 
away with doing neither. Two-thirds of the victims do not have any representation. 
The language of the agreement gives us the right to select the Special Master, and we should choose someone 
quickly. We then have to create a written submission, and we should give them a very short time frame to do 
so. If we keep their feet to the fire, this can be completed within a week.

office dated December 21, 2007 and December 26, 2007. However, before we can make a determination 
whether to adopt the December language as you have now explained it, we need to confer with our client, which 
we will be able to do within the next two weeks. 
I look forward to speaking with you soon to resolve these issues.

Dear Jay:

The modification contained in the December letter is clear and simple, that is why we were not surprised by Mr. 
Epstein's and his attorneys' actions affirming acceptance of the modification. Mr. Epstein's acceptance of the 
modification by pleading guilty was equally clear and simple -- it followed written communications from Mr. 
Sloman and myself that read: "Mr. Epstein has until the close of business on Monday, June 30, 2008, to comply 
with the terms and conditions of the agreement between the United States and Mr. Epstein (as modified by the 
U.S. Attorney's December I9thletter to Ms. Sanchez), including entry of a guilty plea, sentencing, and 
surrendering to begin his sentence of imprisonment." 
As clearly stated in the December letter, only those "individuals whom [the United States] was prepared to 
name in an Indictment as victims of an enumerated offense" are the beneficiaries of the agreement. That is the 
list of names that I provided to Messrs. Goldberger and Tein following the change of plea. Under the 
September/October agreement, all "individuals whom [the United States] has identified as victims" are the 
beneficiaries, so I would prepare a supplement to the earlier list to include identified victims whom we were not 
yet prepared to name in an indictment. 
Again, as stated in the letter, the modification replaces paragraphs 7 and 8 of the Agreement, including 
paragraphs 7A through 7C that are included in the October Addendum. This means that Mr. Epstein's waiver 
of "his right to contest damages up to an amount as agreed to between the identified individual and Epstein" 
will no longer exist, nor will Mr. Epstein's obligation to pay for the victims' counsel. Paragraphs 9 and 10 are 
still in effect. This includes the statement that there is no admission of civil or criminal liability, and that, 
"[e]xcept as to those individuals who elect to proceed EXCLUSIVELY under 18 USC § 2255, . . . Epstein's 
signature [cannot] be construed as admissions or evidence of civil or criminal liability." This addresses your 
question regarding exclusivity. 
I don't think that Mr. Epstein has to make any constructive admissions of conviction. He only needs to admit 
that the 32 girls whose names I have provided to Mr. Goldberger are "victims" of an offense listed in 18 U.S.C. 
2255. 
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Subject: Re: Follow-up point 
Marie - In reviewing your December proposal, there are a couple of things I don't understand. 
What limits are placed upon individuals who proceed under 2255 as if "Mr. Epstein had been tried federally and convicted 
of an enumerated offense." In other words, what individuals would have this right? And would these individual only 
have this right if they proceeded exclusively under 2255? Also, to what enumerated offenses do you think would Mr. 
Epstein have to make constructive admissions of conviction? and how many such offenses? And against 
whom? Remember that while you may have investigated various offenses, he only plead guilty to certain state crimes.

Finally, would paragraphs 8-10 of the September Agreement still be operative? 
I am trying hard to understand what you have intended by the December letter. Alex has says he thinks it benefits Jeffrey, 
and I am open to understanding it that way. But I would like some clarity on these issues. 
Thanks -- Jay

Subject Follow-up point 
Ili Jay — I forgot to mention that I can no longer argue that the Court shouldn't force us to produce the 
agreement because we have already provided the victims with the relevant portion when I now understand from 
you that I have NOT provided them with the relevant portion.

Thank you for your response. Our communications with Roy Black and later with you were solely to determine what Mr. Epstein 
considered to be the terms of the Non-Prosecution Agreement. We appreciate your answering our question with finality. You have 
now made clear that Mr. Epstein did not accept the December modification, and accordingly, we will now consider that modification 
to be a nullity. 
Pursuant to our Agreement, I will prepare an Amended Notification that contains the name of additional identified victims. In 
accordance with Paragraph 7B, please provide me with a proposed written submission to the Special Master by Monday afternoon. 
Finally, as you are aware, yhe United States has been ordered to produce the Non-Prosecution Agreement. In accordance with that 
Order, we will produce the September Agreement with the October Addendum signed by your client. We understand that Mr. 
Goldberg may not have provided the state court with a true copy of the complete Agreement, and he should take steps to correct that 
error.
