AFFIDAVIT OF KEVIN J. MANGAN IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES
I, Kevin J. Mangan, do hereby depose and state:
l. I am a senior associate in the law firm of Monzack and Monaco, P. A. ("M&M"),
local counsel for the plaintiff, Saudi American Bank ("SAMBA") in the above captioned action.
This affidavit is made in support of Plaintiff ’s Motion for Assessment of Damages and
Memorandum in support thereof, which are being filed herewith.
2. I am familiar with the facts surrounding this case. M&M has served as local
Delaware counsel in this matter since it was contacted by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson
Graham LLP ("K&LNG") in May 2001. I have been responsible for overseeing the selection
and supervision of other attorneys and support personnel working on behalf of SAMBA.

of this type; and (4) is the amount that has been or will be charged by M&M to SAMBA in
