I, REED R. KATHREIN, declare as follows: I am an attorney duly licensed to practice before all of the courts of the State of California. I

3 am a member of the law firm of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP, one of the 4 counsel of record for plaintiff in the above-entitled action. I have personal knowledge of the matters 5 stated herein and, if called upon, I could and would competently testify thereto. 6 1. I personally reviewed hard copies of all the documents produced by CV Therapeutics,

7 Inc.'s General Counsel, Tricia Suvari, and its Senior Corporate Counsel, Douglas Sheehy, as well as 8 indexes of all electronic documents produced by defendants for the August 2003 and early 9 September 2003 time frame for copies of alleged emails sent by Ms. Suvari and Mr. Sheehy relating 10 to document preservation or instructions. I also reviewed the back-up tape catalogs of Tricia Suvari 11 and Douglas Sheehy's email which show the dates and subject matters of their emails for similar 12 documents. The only catalogs of backup tapes that were produced to us that show some level of 13 detail for employees are dated October 31, 2003, November 5, 2003, and December 3, 2003. A 14 September 13, 2003 tape also shows some detail but not of the personnel who are most relevant to 15 this case. A review of these sources, produced or not produced, did not reveal the names of any 16 email subjects that appear to be related to instruction to preserve documents for this litigation. There 17 were no titles such as, "Important" or "New Company Policy" or "Please Read" that would cause 18 one to look at the email as containing important instructions. 19 2. I have also reviewed the catalog descriptions of each email in the inbox and deleted

20 items folder for each current and former defendant and I did not see any subjects that appeared to be 21 related to preservation instructions. 22 3. Finally, I reviewed the two privilege logs produced by defendants and there appear to

23 be no emails related to preservation instructions that appeared on those logs. 24 4. Plaintiff served their first request to produce documents on defendants in September

25 2004. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and local rules, plaintiff could not 26 have served them earlier. Also, on September 20, 2004, plaintiff and defendants exchanged their 27 initial disclosures under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a). 28
