[CORRECTED] DECLARATION OF JONATHAN SHAPIRO

I, Jonathan A. Shapiro, declare as follows:

1. I am an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the State of California and before this Court. I am a Member of the law firm of Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo PC and represent Defendant Life Insurance Company of the Southwest (“LSW’) in the above-entitled action. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein and, if called as a witness, I could and would testify competently thereto.

2, On April 9, 2013, Joel Fleming and I spoke by telephone with Jeanette Barzelay of Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP, counsel for Plaintiffs in the above- entitled action. During that conversation, we asked Ms. Barzelay whether Plaintiffs could identify a date by which they expected to update Plaintiffs’ Responses to LSW’s Interrogatory No. 10, which asks Plaintiffs to state the names of all members of the Illustrations Subclass. Ms. Barzelay replied that she would “get back” to us. We have heard nothing further from Plaintiffs about this issue.

I declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed

this 3rd day of May, 2013, at San Francisco, California.
