Case No.: 11-CV-1426-GMS DECLARATION OF MARIA CRIMI SPETH IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
My name is Maria Crimi Speth. I am a United States citizen, a resident of
the State of Arizona, am over the age of 18 years, and if called to testify in court or other proceeding I could and would give the following testimony which is based upon my own personal knowledge unless otherwise stated. 2. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Arizona, I am an
active member in good standing with the State Bar of Arizona and I am admitted to practice and in good standing with the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. I have been continuously licensed to practice law in Arizona since October 21, 1989. 3. I represent Plaintiff XCENTRIC VENTURES, LLC (Xcentric) in this
matter and I have possession of Xcentrics files relating to this matter which I have personally reviewed and with which I am personally familiar.
DECLARATION OF MARIA CRIMI SPETH IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

4.
This malicious prosecution action arises from a prior lawsuit filed in
California in 2010 against Xcentric by RAYMOND MOBREZ (Mr. Mobrez), ILIANA LLANERAS (Ms. Llaneras) and their entity, ASIA ECONOMIC INSTITUTE, LLC (AEI; collectively the Mobrez Parties). This prior California action is generally referred to as the Asia Litigation. 5. 6. On May 19, 2010 I was admitted pro hac vice in the Asia Litigation. I have represented Xcentric Ventures for more than ten years as outside
counsel and as such, I was actively involved in the Asia Litigation working with and consulting with Xcentrics general counsel, David Gingras. 7. Although Mr. Gingras handled much of the work on the case, I was actively
involved in drafting pleadings and I attended certain depositions, settlement conferences and court appearances. In addition, the California action was initially set for trial on August 3, 2010 which was an extremely short time given that Xcentrics initial Answer was filed on February 24, 2010 and discovery in the case did not begin until April 19, 2010. This very early trial date was set at the request of Ms. Borodkin over Xcentrics objection. As a result, Xcentric was required to complete all necessary discovery and prepare for trial in a period of slightly more than 90 days while simultaneously preparing dispositive motions. This very short litigation schedule significantly increased the
14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
amount of work required from both Mr. Gingras and myself because Xcentric was required to complete discovery, file dispositive motions, and prepare for trial all simultaneously. 8. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is an itemized billing statement setting forth
the amount of time I spent and the tasks performed during the course of the Asia Litigation. As reflected in this timesheet, I spent 169.8 hours representing Xcentric in the Asia Litigation. 9. The itemized billing statement is generated by our accounting department
from the contemporaneous time sheets that I and other attorneys in my firm prepared while working on the Asia Litigation. 2

10.
As an Arizona attorney with more than 22 years of experience, I typically
charge $325 to $350 for my services in handling litigation matters in Arizona depending on various factors including the nature and complexity of the case, among other things. 11. I charged $325 per hour to Xcentric in the Asia Litigation. Two senior
partners provided minor assistance (less than 4 hours) at $375 per hour. Associates in my firm working under my direction also assisted in the matter and were billed at $140, $175, $200, $210 or $250 per hour, depending on their level of experience. 12. In total, myself and the other attorneys in my firm billed Xcentric a total of
$91,993.00 in fees for 334.5 hours of work. This represents an average hourly rate of $275 for all time spent on the case. 13. In addition to the legal fees billed by my firm, Xcentric also incurred
certain costs totaling $6,276.46 which are reflected in the billing statement attached as Exhibit A. These costs include things such as Westlaw research charges ($3,226.46), travel expenses ($756.70), transcript costs ($321.10) and other miscellaneous expenses for postage, photocopies, and long distance phone calls. 14. Xcentric has fully paid all of the fees and costs set forth in Exhibit A.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. EXECUTED ON: July 19, 2012. /S/ Maria Crimi Speth
