LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN
I, JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN, a resident and domiciliary of St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands,
do make, publish and declare this to be my Will hereby revoking all prior Wills and Codicils made
by me.
FIRST: A. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate all expenses of
my last illness, my funeral and burial expenses, the administration expenses of my estate and all
of my debts duly proven and allowed against my estate.
B. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate, as compensation
to each Executor for serving as Executor hereunder, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000) to each Executor upon the completion of probate of my estate. No Executor
shall receive any other compensation for serving as Executor hereunder; provided, however, that
my Executor shall be reimbursed from my estate for all reasonable costs, expenses, charges, and
liabilities incurred or paid in respect thereto, including fees and expenses of counsel or any other
agents hired by my Executor, and my Executor shall not be liable therefor individually.
C. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate the federal and
state transfer taxes described in Paragraph B(l) of Article SEVENTH.
D. I direct my Executor to pay from my estate all expenses of
storing, insuring, packing, shipping and delivering my tangible personal property in accordance
with the provisions of Article SECOND.
SECOND: I give all of my property, real and personal, wherever situated, after
the payments and distributions provided in Article FIRST, to the then acting Trustees of The
Jeffrey E. Epstein 2019 Trust ("Trust") created under that certain Trust Agreement of The Jeffrey
E. Epstein 2019 Trust (the "Trust Agreement") dated January 18, 2019, as the same may be
amended from time to time, to be held in accordance with the provisions comprising the Trust
Agreement at the time of my death.
THIRD: A. I appoint DARREN K. INDYKE and RICHARD D. KAHN
to serve as the Executors of this Will. If any one or more of my Executors fails to qualify, is unable
or unwilling to serve or ceases to act, I appoint KATHRYN H. RUEMMLER, as successor
Executor. If any successor Executor fails to qualify, is unable or unwilling to serve or ceases to
act, I authorize the last acting Executor to designate his or her successor. Such designation shall
be made by written instrument delivered to such designated successor Executor.
B. If my estate must be administered in whole or in part in any
jurisdiction other than the state or territory of my domicile at the date of my death, and if my

Executor is unable or unwilling to serve in such jurisdiction, then I appoint the successor Executor
of my estate designated in Paragraph A of Article THIRD as successor Executor in such
jurisdiction only, provided that he or she is able and willing to serve in such jurisdiction. If no
Executor or successor Executor is able and willing to serve in such jurisdiction, my Executor shall
designate a successor Executor to serve in such jurisdiction. Such designation shall be made by
written instrument delivered to such successor Executor.
C. No bond or other security shall be required of any Executor
in any jurisdiction.
D. Any Executor may resign in the manner provided for by the
governing statutes of the state or territory having jurisdiction of the administration of my estate or
in the absence of such statutory guidance, by filing a written notice of resignation with the Court
having jurisdiction of the administration of my estate. Any Executor who resigns shall not be
entitled to any compensation hereunder for any services rendered as Executor prior to his or her
resignation.
E. My Executor shall not be accountable or responsible to any
person interested in my estate for the manner in which my Executor in good faith exercises or
declines to exercise any discretionary authority or power of my Executor. My Executor shall not
be liable for any loss or depreciation in value occasioned by reason of any negligence, error or
mistake of judgment in entering into any transaction, in making any sale or investment, in
continuing to hold any property or by reason of any action or omission, whether by my Executor
or any other fiduciary, unless my Executor has acted in bad faith. In the absence of proof by
affirmative evidence to the contrary, each Executor shall be deemed to have acted within the scope
of my Executor's authority, to have exercised reasonable care, diligence and prudence and to have
acted impartially as to all interested persons. An Executor shall not be liable for the acts or defaults
of another Executor.
FOURTH: The following provisions shall apply to my estate and to my
Executor, except as is otherwise specifically provided in this Will:
A. My Executor has the entire care and custody of all assets of
my estate. My Executor has the power to do everything my Executor in good faith deems advisable
without necessity of any judicial authorization or approval, even though but for this power it
would not be authorized or appropriate for fiduciaries under any statutory or other rule of law. My
Executor shall exercise my Executor's best judgment and discretion for what my Executor
believes to be in the best interests of the beneficiaries hereunder. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Will, if two Executors are empowered to participate in the decision to exercise or
not to exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Will or by law, such decision shall be made
by such Executors acting unanimously. If more than two Executors are empowered to participate
in the decision to exercise or not exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Will or by law, a
majority of such Executors shall be empowered to make such decision.
B. Except as otherwise provided herein, my Executor shall
have the power:

for such beneficiary and his issue in any degree shall be null and void and (b) my estate, whether

such office, whether one or more persons or entities occupy the office of Trustee at the same time

probate estate means that person's estate which is subject to probate administration. A reference
to a person's Will means such person's Last Will and Testament and any Codicil or Codicils
thereto.
(2) The term "IRC section" means a section of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding provision of any successor
Internal Revenue law, as in effect as of the date of my death.

of this Article, all federal estate taxes with respect to assets not passing under this Will or the Trust
Agreement (such assets are referred to as the "Apportionment Assets") and any applicable state
estate taxes with respect to the Apportionment Assets shall be apportioned among all persons
interested in the Apportionment Assets. My Executor shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
federal estate taxes and state estate, inheritance, succession and similar taxes allocable to the
Apportionment Assets from the recipients of the Apportionment Assets. Without changing the
apportionment of taxes in this Paragraph B(1), my Executor has discretion, but is not required, to

personally liable for any of such taxes if my Executor is unable, with reasonable efforts, to collect
payment (or reimbursement) from any recipient of any Apportionment Assets for any or all of
such taxes allocable to such assets.
(2) My Executor has discretion to direct the
Trustee of the Trust Agreement to pay all or any portion of the taxes which my Executor is directed
or obligated to pay pursuant to Paragraph B of Article FIRST and this Paragraph B pursuant to a
written direction delivered to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement. Any taxes which my
Executor directs the Trustee under the Trust Agreement to pay shall be allocated and paid from
the trusts under the Trust Agreement as provided under the Trust Agreement.
C. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Will, a
bequest or devise to an individual who does not survive me shall lapse notwithstanding any law
to the contrary.
D. To the extent that the distribution to the Trustee under the
Trust Agreement pursuant to Article SECOND shall not be effective, I give all the rest of my
property, real and personal, wherever situated, after the payments and distributions provided in
Article FIRST, to the person or persons named as Trustee or Trustees under the Trust Agreement,
be to held in trust under this Will in accordance with the provisions comprising the Trust
Agreement at the time of my death, which provisions are incorporated in this Will by reference.
