If called upon and sworn as a witness, I could and would competently testify to these facts. 2. During the settlement negotiations between Class Counsel and Defendants herein, there were many discussions about the possibility of notice through retailers. For a variety of reasons, it was determined that, even if possible in some form, it was unlikely that retailers would participate in a notice program tasking them with responsibility for tracking down and providing notice to book purchasers. The letters attached hereto confirm this determination. 3. Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a true and correct copy of the transcript of the April 6, 2007 hearing in these proceedings. 4.
