Courts of the State of New York affirms the following under penalty of perjury:
That I am the attorney of record for the Plaintiffs, in the within action; I have read

true to my knowledge, except as to the matters therein stated to be alleged on
information and belief, and as to those matters, I believe them to be true.
The reason this verification is made by me and not by plaintiffs, is because
they do not reside in the county where deponent maintains his office. Plaintiffs
reside in Rockland County New York.
The grounds of deponent's belief as to all matters contained therein are upon
deponent's information and belief and communications with plaintiff and copies of
plaintiff's records in deponent's legal file.
