          Nichols v. Tabakoff Page 18                                                               

          29. According to Mr. Ezell, Ex 2034 is an accurate copy of the original spectral data     

          generated from sample 94A-85-1 (NR, p. 186,11. 1-23) except that the "chemical            

          structure with '94A-85-l' handwritten thereunder ...was added ...subsequent to its               

          delivery to Dr. Al. Nichols" (NR, p. 176, 16).                                            

          30. Mr. Ezell presumed that Dr. Nichols drew the chemical structure on the data           

          sheet, but did not see him do so (NR, p. 11, 11. 3-17).                                   

          31. Dr. Nichols admitted that he made all the handwritten entries on NMR scan Ex          

          2034 (NR, p. 52,11. 8-14).                                                                

          32. Mr. Ezell testified that the "chemical structure drawn on the spectrum data sheet     

          is consistent with the NMR spectrum data" (NR, p. 176,% 6).                               

          33. Assuming without determining that the chemical structure of sample 94A-85-1 is        

          (NN-diethyl)-4-ureido-5,7-dichloro-2-carboxy-quinoline methyl ester, the compound         

          would have 17 protons (NR, p. 189,11. 4-14).                                              

          34. At best, Mr. Ezell could only account for 16 of these protons (NR, p. 201, 1. 15      

          p. 203J. 7). Mr. Ezell admitted that the 17" proton was not shown on the data sheet,      

          but opined that it was an "exchangeable" hydrogen that "might be exchanging with the      

          water [solvent] too rapidly to see" (Ex 2054; NR, p. 193,11. 7-18).                       

          35. Mr. Ezell also did not conclusively identify an expected methoxy peak (NR, p.         

          199,11. 14-25; p. 200,11. 13-16; p. 201,11. 1-13 and p. 203,11. 12-18).                   

          36. Similarly, Dr. Nichols identified 16 protons from the proton NMR scan but could       

          not conclusively identify the methoxy peak (NR, p. 52,1. 15 - p. 54,1. 21; p. 56,11. 12   

          23).
