4.

Given the resources, qualifications, and experience of the counsel at SNR Denton,

the interests of Plaintiff and all of those similarly situated are adequately represented in these causes. 5. I am a member of the Texas bar and this Court and have been practicing law in

Texas and federal courts inside and outside of Texas for 22 years. My practice focuses on complex business and technology matters. I have litigated numerous cases involving mergers and acquisitions, license agreements, software and systems design, systems integration, telecommunications, professional malpractice, trade secrets, and trademark matters. As part of my practice, I have been involved in numerous class actions, including representing both plaintiffs and defendants. 6. More specifically, I was an attorney for plaintiffs in the Lane's Gifts v. Google

case in the state court in Texarkana (docket no. CV-2005-52-1). In that case, which was based on click fraud, we obtained class certification for a class similar to the instant case. We

prevailed, the class was certified and appropriately administered, and a settlement was negotiated and applied to class members 7. SNR Denton has over 1400 attorneys in 33 offices around the globe. It is one of

the 25 largest law firms in the world. 8. Based upon the resources, qualifications, and experience of myself and my firm, it

is my opinion and belief that Plaintiff and their counsel will provide more than adequate representation of the interests of the proposed class.
