Dos Santos <gdossantos@baileyglasser.com>; Beatriz Aguirre <beatriz@ha-firm.com> Subject: RE: Prestamos - Plaintiffs' 30(b)(6) Notice of Deposition ௷ ௸ EXTERNAL Marcel and team: Good morning. As part of our proposal to substantially narrow the pending discovery, Plaintiffs also seek to depose Mr. Castillo under Rule 30(b)(1). We understand that we also originally proposed forgoing his deposition. But that was subject to who Prestamos designates as its Rule 30(b(6) witness(es), and Prestamos still hasn't identified its Rule 30(b(6) designee(s) for any of the five specific topics set forth in Plaintiffs' Rule 30(b)(6) notice. To the extent that Castillo is Prestamos' 30(b)(6) designee for any of those five topics, Plaintiffs would also be willing to depose Castillo once not twice as with Martinez unless Prestamos wants the Rule 30(b)(1) and (b)(6) depositions separate. Plaintiffs will also forgo the 30(b)(1) depositions of Nunez and Adame in full, again subject also to Prestamos also answering Plainitffs' pending RFAs. Further, Plaintiffs are also amenable to limiting the time of both the Martinez and Castillo depositions to a maximum of up to three or four hours depending on whether they are also Prestamos' Rule 30(b)(6) designees. Please advise. Again, if Prestamos fails to agree to produce Martinez and Castillo for deposition and identify its Rule 30(b)(6) designee(s) -- who Plaintiffs continue to believe are indeed Martinez and Castillo anyway -- we will be forced to promptly seek Judge Gallagher's intervention. If you want to discuss any aspect of this, we can do that too. Thank you. Larry ___________________________ Lawrence J. Lederer Partner Bailey & Glasser, LLP T: 202.548.7787 From: Lawrence J.

Dos Santos <gdossantos@baileyglasser.com> Subject: RE: Prestamos - Plaintiffs' 30(b)(6) Notice of Deposition ௷ ௸ EXTERNAL Marcel and team: I write on behalf of plaintiffs following today’s status conference with the Court. Plaintiffs are willing to forgo three of the four Rule 30(b)(1) depositions plaintiffs noticed last week – specifically, Nunez, Adame and Castillo – if Prestamos agrees to timely produce Martinez for deposition on or prior to the April 9, 2025 discovery deadline. This assumes Martinez would also be Prestamos’ Rule 30(b)(6) designee as to at least two of the five specific Rule 30(b)(6) topics plaintiffs noticed – including specifically topic one as to Prestamos’ use of the Loan Documents, and topic five as to Prestamos’ policies and procedures regarding PPP lending. In addition, please advise us whether Martinez would also be Prestamos’ Rule 30(b)(6) designee as to the three other Rule 30(b)(6) topics, as to which we reserve our rights. Further, as part of this proposal to narrow the pending discovery, plaintiffs would also a) agree to depose Martinez once as both a 30(b)(1) witness and Prestamos’ 30(b)(6) witness, and b) expect Prestamos to provide timely answers and substantive responses to plaintiffs’ RFAs rather than just objections. Happy to further discuss if and as you want. Either way, please promptly advise as to defendant’s position. Thank you. Larry _________________________________________ Lawrence J.
