ATTORNEYS AT LAW SILICON VALLEY

I, John D. Minton, declare as follows: 1. I am an associate at the law firm of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel of record for

Michael Zaccaro, plaintiff and counterclaim defendant in the above-captioned matter. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth below and if called as a witness could testify competently to them. 2. A true and correct copy of the subpoena served by Michael Zaccaro on EXP

Pharmaceutical Services Corp. ("EXP"), together with the cover letter provided therewith, is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 3. A true and correct copy of the underlying complaint in this action is attached

hereto as Exhibit B. 4. A true and correct copy of the list identifying the more narrow set of

representative screen prints sought by Michael Zaccaro with his subpoena is attached hereto as Exhibit C. 5. A true and correct copy of the protective order entered in the United States

District of the Northern District of Illinois to address the confidentiality concerns of the parties and third parties is attached hereto as Exhibit D. 6. I understand that the parties' counsel have engaged in substantial meet and confer

discussions in an effort to resolve the issues raised by the Subpoena. Upon information and belief, Zaccaro counsel Matt Walch and EXP counsel Chico Meyers engaged in multiple phone discussions over July and August regarding the scope of the subpoena. I am informed and believe that, while EXP produced one of the two categories of documents that Zaccaro requested with respect its Subpoena as modified by discussions with counsel, it refused to produce the second category of documents. In particular, I am further informed and believe that EXP produced representative samples of reports that its pharmaceutical processing software generates, but refused to produce representative screen prints of that software in operation. /// /// /// 1

Pharmaceutical Inventories, Inc., v. Zaccaro, Case No. 05 6483

To Whom it May Concern: Enclosed please find a subpoena issued to EXP Pharmaceutical Services Corp. ("EXP") in the above-captioned case, As described in Exhibit A, the subpoena seeks the production of documents sufficient to show the design and screen layouts of any pharmaceutical returns software owned by EXP as well as the production of a sample report generated by such software. In certain discovery responses served in the above-referenced case, the plaintiff has alleged that Mr. Zaccaro copied the "look and feel" of PRS's software by using certain fields, commands and functionality that are commonplace in the pharmaceutical returns industry. The requested information regarding the software program(s) used by EXP will help prove to PRS and its counsel that software within this industry has to incorporate certain fields, commands and functionality to serve the needs of the customer in this industry and that such fields, commands and functionality are not and cannot be owned by any one business in this industry. Please note that we fully appreciate the potential highly confidential nature of the requested information, and to that end we have enclosed a copy of the Restricting Order entered by the court in this case. Pursuant to this Restricting Order, none of the parties in the underlying litigation will be able to see any information designated as Highly Confidential Information. Indeed, access to such information is limited to outside counsel for the parties, Independent Experts, court personnel and court reporters and all such persons are explicitly bound by the terms of the Restricting Order. For your information, Section 7.8 specifically addresses the application of the protective order to documents produced by non-parties to the litigation. The subpoena also asks for the deposition of a company representative. Such a deposition would be necessary only if we have to verify the genuineness and establish the admissibility of any documents that EXP would produce in response to the subpoena. We would be happy to discuss a Rule 901 verification if that would be more convenient and if plaintiffs

counsel would agree to such a verification and otherwise agree to the admissibility of the information produced by EXP. Please do not hesitate to call me if you want to discuss the subpoena or the enclosed Restricting Order any further. Sincerely,

Matthew W. Walch Enclosure

COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND OTHER RELIEF Plaintiff, Pharmaceutical Return Service ("PRS"), by and through its attorneys, Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa, for its Complaint against Defendant, Michael Zaccaro ("Zaccaro"), states as follows: PARTIES 1. Plaintiff PRS is an Illinois sole proprietorship with its principal place of business

located in Kane County, Illinois. PRS is in the pharmaceutical return and inventory business. John DeMars ("DeMars") is the President of PRS. 2. At all times relevant to this action, Defendant Zaccaro was and is a citizen of the

State of Illinois and resides in this district.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. Federal subject matter jurisdiction exists in this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§§I33 1 and 1338 because this action arises under the laws of the United States, particularly 17 U.S.C. §jjlOl, et seq., 15 U.S.C. §§1125 and 18 U.S.C. 51030. Jurisdiction exists over all other claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 891367.

Case 4:07-mc-80231-SBA

Document 2

Filed 10/01/2007

Page 15 of 52

4.

Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 881391 and 1400.

Personal jurisdiction and venue are proper because Zaccaro resides in this district, and a substantial part of the events giving rise to this action occurred in this district. FACTS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS
5.

On or about September 1990, DeMars and his brother, Kevin DeMars, began

writing source code for computer software (the "PRS software") that would automate the inventoly process for retums of prescription drugs to manufacturers and distributors for PRS. PRS is a service business that provides physical inventory and processing for credit of outdated pharmaceuticals and proper disposal of non-returnables for pharmacies. The typical inventory and retums service includes performing pharmacy inventory on-site and pulling a pharmacy's outdated pharmaceuticals and over the counter medicines which then go to the PRS office for processing and shipping to the respective manufacturers for pharmacy credit.
6.

In or about the end of 1992, DeMars and his brother, Kevin DeMars, completed

the development of a first version of source code for the PRS software. The PRS software became operational at that time.
7.

DeMars installed the PRS software in the in-house processing department of PRS.

Over the next year and a half, the processing department used the PRS software and gave DeMars feedback regarding any bugs or flaws or additional automation required. DeMars made changes to the PRS software accordingly.
8.

In or about 1992, PRS hired Zaccaro. Zaccaro was assigned to perform

inventories, office work, phone sales and processing of outdated pharmaceuticals. Zaccaro did not aid in the development of the PRS software. 9. In 1995, a revised version of the source code for the PRS Software that was

operable in UNIX and DOS was completed.

Case 4:07-mc-80231-SBA

Document 2

Filed 10/01/2007

Page 16 of 52

10.

Upon information and belief, from in or about 1994 through in or about 1995,

Zaccaro became interested in entering the pharmaceutical returns and inventory business. In order to do so, he required software to perform processing of outdated inventory and returns for his business.
1 1.

At sometime while Zaccaro was employed at PRS, Zaccaro obtained unauthorized

access to the PRS source code for the PRS software in both UNIX and DOS and, without authorization from any person at PRS, copied the source code and the PRS software. 12. In or about July, 1996, Zaccaro terminated his employment with PRS, without

explanation or notice.
13.

Shortly after Zaccaro left PRS, Zaccaro created a pharmaceutical returns and

inventory business. Upon information and belief, Zaccaro used the PRS source code and software that he had misappropriated in conjunction with the operation of his business. 14. In or about 1996 or 1997, Zaccaro hired a programmer to change the look of the

software and started "Returns".
15.

Upon information and belief, from 1997 through 2004, PRS began to lose

customers to Zaccaro because he was selling andlor using PRS source code and software or software substantially similar to the misappropriated PRS software. 16. In February of 2004, Zaccaro, who was running a company called "Returns R'

Us, Inc. d/b/a Pharma Logistics, Ltd." ("Returns R' Us"), hired Dwight Arant ("Arant"), a business consultant. 17. In or about May 2005, Zaccaro told Arant that while he was employed at PRS, he

was interested in entering the pharmaceutical returns business. Zaccaro also told Arant that while he was employed at his previous employer [PRS], Zaccaro knew someone who could get into the UNIX operating system and the PRS software and take it, which would allow him to open his own business.

3

Case 4:07-mc-80231-SBA

Document 2

Filed 10/01/2007

Page 17 of 52

18.

In or about May 2005, Zaccaro admitted to Arant that he had taken the source

code, all databases and software from PRS which Returns had been using, licensing and selling to several pharmacies, wholesalers, other returns services and hospitals. 19. In June 2005, Arant contacted DeMars and informed him that Zaccaro had told

him that he had taken the source code and software from PRS and used it to start his company. 20. Zaccaro has been and is currently operating "Returns" using the source code

and/or software that is a copy of or substantially similar to the PRS software and/or source code he misappropriated from PRS. Upon information and belief, Zaccaro plans on selling rights to the source code, software and Returns R' Us to other companies. 21. As the creator and owner of the source code and software, PRS has an exclusive

right to use and sell the PRS software. PRS has a legitimate interest in need of protection, in particular, an interest in protecting its software from being stolen, duplicated, licensed, used and/or sold without authorization by any company(ies) or person(s) other than PRS. 22.

If Zaccaro is allowed to continue to use andlor sell the stolen software or any

unauthorized duplication thereof, PRS will be irreparably harmed. PRS has lost and continues to lose the ability to maintain exclusive use and sale of the PRS software. 23. Since money damages are difficult to ascertain at this time, PRS does not have

any adequate remedy at law. 24. PRS will likely succeed on the merits of its claim that it has an exclusive right to

use and sell the PRS software. 25. PRS is, therefore, entitled to injunctive relief.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Pharmaceutical Return Service, requests that the court:
A.
Enter an injunction enjoining Zaccaro from using, licensing and/or selling the PRS software; Enter an injunction enjoining Zaccaro from using, licensing and/or selling any software that is based upon or is a duplication of the PRS software;

B.

PRS restates, realleges and incorporates by reference, Paragraphs 1-30 as if they

were fully set forth herein.
32.

As the owner of the software, PRS has an exclusive right to use and sell the PRS

software. PRS has a legitimate interest in need of protection, in particular, an interest in protecting its software from being stolen, duplicated, licensed, used and/or sold without authorization by any compan(ies) or person(s) other than PRS.

If Zaccaro is allowed to continue to use, license andlor sell the stolen software or

any unauthorized duplication thereof, PRS will be irreparably harmed. PRS has lost and continues to lose the ability to maintain exclusive use and sale of the PRS software.
34.

Since money damages are difficult to ascertain at this time, PRS does not have

any adequate remedy at law. 35. PRS will likely succeed on the merits of its claim that it has an exclusive right to

use and sell the PRS software. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Pharmaceutical Return Service, requests that the court: A.
