`I, Ana C. Reyes, am more than twenty-one years of age, am competent to

`hereby declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`This declaration is given in support of Patent Owner Adapt Pharma

`
`2.
`
`I am a partner at Williams & Connolly LLP, 725 12th St., NW,
`
`Washington, DC 20005. I have more than eighteen years of litigation experience.
`
`3.
`
`I am a member in good standing of the bars of New York, the District
`
`of Columbia, and Kentucky.
`
`4.
`
`I have never been suspended or disbarred from practice before any
`
`court or administrative body.
`
`5.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever denied my application for
`
`admission to practice before it.
`
`6.
`
`No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on me.
`

`I understand that I will be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and will be subject to
`
`disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a).
