DECLARATION
OF PAUL CEGLIA IN SUPPORT OF

v.

MARK ELLIOT ZUCKERBERG Individually, and FACEBOOK,INC.

MOTION TO PROHIBIT DEFENDANTS' RELIANCE ON ALLEGED
EMAIL BETWEEN CEGLIA AND

KOLE INANY DISPOSITTVE MOTION

Defendants.

PAUL CEGLIA, submits this declaration and hereby declares under penalty of perjury
and pursuant to 28 U.S.C

. 1746 and under the laws of the United States that the following is true

and correct:

1.

I make this declaration upon personal knowledge.

2.

I am the Plaintiffin this matter.

3.

During Expedited Discovery I became aware of a claim by Defendants'that they found an
email supposedly authored and sent by me to Jim Kole. ExhibitA.

4.

I am also aware that Defendants claim this email contained

an attachment which is an un-

authenticated digital image of what purports to be a two page document signed by myself
and Mr. Zuckerberg. Exhibit B.

5.

Jim Kole was an attorney working with me back in 2003 and 2004 regarding various issues
including the Street Fax business.

6.

I have seen the supposed email referenced above. Exhibit A.

7.

I do not recall authoring or sending the above referenced email to Jim Kole.

8.

I have seen

a copy

of the unauthenticated digital image referenced above. Exhibit B.

9.

In March of 2Al1 I found this unauthenticated digital image, read it, and with an abundance

of caution, Iturneditoverindiscovery. PriortoMarchof 2011 Ihadneverbeforeseen
this document.

10. I signed the contract with Mr. Zuckerberg

that was attached to the Complaint in this case

which included the terms relating to Facebook as they appear on page one of that contract.

1.

12.

I signed a six page software specification agreement with Mr. Zuckerberg

as

well.

The unauthenticated digital image Defendants intend to rely on in this case that is referenced above, appears to have an identical page two to the Facebook Contract attached to

the Complaint, however,

it

appears

to have a different page one that has been substituted

into that document by someone.

13.

The email account allegedly used to allegedly send this email was [e-mail].

14.

I have never owned nor had the username or password to any such account.

15.

I am aware that my father had an email account with the name [e-mail].

16. I do not recall ever sending

an email to anyone using the [e-mail] email ac-

count.

17.

In 2003 and 2004I am aware that my father used the same password for all his accounts
for ease of recalling his passwords.

18. My father also had an account with my Street Fax business and that account information
was stored on the Street Fax business computers.

19.

Mark Zuckerberg

as

part of his work for Street Fax, had administrative access to all Street-

Fax user accounts, including that of my father.

24. That necessarily means, Mark Zuckerberg

had access to the username and password of my

father's Street Fax user account which is the identical email address and password my fa-

2

ther used for his [e-mail] email account at that time.

21.

Mark Zuckerberg, therefore, had all the credentials necessary to access and to send and receive email via my father's [e-mail] email account at the time this unauthenticated email with its unauthenticated digital image was allegedly transmitted.

I hereby

and hereby declare under penalty of perjury and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 and

under the laws of the United States that the following is true and correct:
