AFFIDAVIT OF NATHAN D. PEARMAN IN SUPPORT OF ATTORNEYS' FEES

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared Nathan D.

Pearman, who, after being by me duly sworn, deposes and says:

I, the affiant, am one of the attorneys representing Plaintiffs Shawn, Lauren, and Lisa Minshall ("Plaintiffs") in this matter. I am duly licensed to practice law in the Courts of the State of Texas, and am familiar with the attorneys' fees customarily charged by attorneys in the State of Texas for handling matters of this type. Additionally, I am familiar with the attorney services normally required for the proper prosecution of this matter. The reasonable rate for associates with more than 5 years' experience for this case, such as Aaron Burke and I, is $300 per hour. The reasonable rate for associates with more than one year of experience, such as Drew M. Thomas, is $250 per hour. The reasonable rate for legal assistants working on this matter is $150 per hour.

In connection with the prosecution of this matter, legal services have been rendered on behalf of the Plaintiffs that were necessary to resolve Plaintiffs claims against Defendant Hartman Equine Reproduction Center, P.A. ("Defendant"), including but not limited to the following:

• Communications and correspondence with Plaintiffs regarding this matter;

• Preparing and filing Plaintiffs Original Complaint, First Amended Complaint, Second Amended Complaint, and Third Amended Complaint;

AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF ATTORNEYS' FEES PAGE 1

Case 4:15-cv-00764-ALM Document 132-2 Filed 03/30/17 of 18 PageID #: 3230

• Preparing for and attending the depositions of Lorenzo Lotti, Melinda Defreece, Dr. David Hartman, Dr. Nena Winand, and each of the three Plaintiffs;

• Preparing and responding to numerous discovery requests;

• Reviewing and analyzing hundreds of documents produced in discovery;

• Preparing two Motions to Compel and preparing for and attending one Motion to Compel hearing;

• Assisting in preparing Dr. Nena Winand's expert report;

• Responding to numerous pleadings filed by Defendant, including two Motions for Summary Judgment; and

• Preparing for and attending a seven-day jury trial.

The attorneys' fees incurred in this case for discovery and the responses to Defendant's summary judgment motions were substantially larger than expected for several reasons. With respect to discovery, it was necessary for counsel for Plaintiffs to prepare two Motions to Compel (one filed with the Court) due to numerous inadequate and deficient discovery responses by Defendant. For example, Aaron Burke, during Melinda Defreece' s deposition, discovered that Ms. Defreece did not search her emails for the keyword "HERDA," perhaps the most vital issue in the case, making it necessary to enter into an agreement with opposing counsel to perform keyword searches of Defendant's employees' emails and provide further responses. Further, Plaintiffs prevailed on their second Motion to Compel and discovered new evidence only after they had responded to Defendant's first Motion for Summary Judgment. As a result, Plaintiffs incurred additional fees because it became necessary for counsel for Plaintiffs to request additional pages to supplement Plaintiffs' summary judgment response (and prepare the response) due to the untimely production of relevant documents by Defendant. Additionally, Defendant's Motions for Summary Judgment were not narrowly tailored, but attacked each and every element of each and every claim Plaintiffs had against Defendant, which amounted to eight (8) claims and multiple elements for each claim. Therefore, it was necessary for Plaintiffs to adequately review and analyze the law regarding each and every claim and every element and indicate to the Court what evidence there was to support each element. The time necessary to adequately prepare reasonable responses, therefore, was greater than normal due to the specific circumstances of this case.

Our law firm maintains systematic records of attorneys' fees, including the fees charged in this matter. Attached as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference is a true and correct summary of invoices reflecting the attorneys' fees and costs

incurred through March 21, 201 7. After examining each entry in detail, I have removed any entry that I determined was duplicative or pertained specifically to work performed to resolve the claims against the settling defendants. The attorneys' fees incurred to prosecute this matter are just and true; all legal offsets, payments, and credits made known to me have been credited and allowed; and the sum herein claimed is justly due.

This Affidavit is made upon personal knowledge of the affiant and all facts stated herein are true and correct. In my opinion, taking into consideration the foregoing matters, the reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Plaintiffs, which should be taxed against Defendant, for the services rendered by the attorneys in prosecution of this claim are $203,535.00.
