I, David Delucchi, declare as follows:
1. I am the Operations and Fleet Manager for Bently Biofuels Collection Services
(“Bently”), Plaintiff in the above-captioned matter. _I have personal knowledge of the facts set
forth below and make this declaration in support of Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
If sworn as a witness, I could and would testify as set forth herein.
2. As the Operations Manager, my job duties include managing Bently’s California
operations, hiring, implementing and enforcing our safety procedures, purchasing necessary
equipment, ensuring that we comply with the Department of Transportation’s rules and
regulations, and handling our billing and budgets. I am familiar with Defendant K. David Fisher
and his employment at Bently, and was his supervisor when he worked at Bently.
3. Mr. Fisher briefly worked for Bently as a Truck Driver. At Bently, only employees
who need certain types of confidential or proprietary information to perform their job duties are
given access to it. This information includes customer lists and histories, special needs, and
pricing, as well as Bently’s procedures and methods. All employees are prohibited from
disclosing the information and are told that all such information obtained through employment
with Bently is Bently’s sole property,
4, Following the termination of Mr. Fisher’s employment from Bently, Bently
discovered that he was stealing used cooking oil and grease out of Bently’s containers on
customers’ premises, as well as soliciting the business of those customers for Mr. Fisher’s new oil
collection company. Bently has spent hours trying to determine the nature and extent of Mr.
Fisher’s misconduct, as well as significant time and resources to combat and repair the harm
caused to its reputation and business (including relationships with customers).
5. The customers whose cooking oil Mr. Fisher stole and whose business he has
solicited represent approximately 20% of Bently’s total customer base. Bently has received
numerous complaints from its customers and has suffered substantial harm to its reputation and
relationship with those customers.
6. I believe that Mr. Fisher, at the time he engaged in the conduct set forth above,
knew that Bently had exclusive service contracts and/or agreements with its customers. I base this

statement on the fact that Mr. Fisher worked for Bently (and for Got Grease for years before) and
not only interacted with the customers on a daily basis, but also provided services to them based
on those very agreements with the customers.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is
true and correct.
Executed this__/2. day of March 2014, in Rul, onl , California.
