Jimmy Slemboski

A seasoned advocate, Mr. Slemboski provides representation to public corporations, their

officers, directors and employees, regulated entities and others in SEC investigations and
criminal law enforcement investigations, as well as in related civil litigation. Mr.
Slemboski’s financial background and depth of experience in domestic and international
regulatory and criminal enforcement matters and complex litigation have also caused him
to be repeatedly retained by audit committees, corporations, and senior officers of major
public companies to advise them during investigations and to design remedial compliance
and corporate governance measures. These engagements have included successfully
representing companies and individuals before the SEC and the Department of Justice in
FCPA, accounting and corporate disclosure matters.

With respect to international matters, Mr. Slemboski has significant experience in

conducting investigations of possible FCPA violations and other potentially improper
foreign country-based financial transactions, including those involving alleged bribery
and “facilitating payments.” Mr. Slemboski has also worked proactively with companies
to structure and implement FCPA compliance programs that are designed to avoid
potential violations and to lessen any government sanction should a FCPA violation
occur.

In April 2006, Baker Hostetler was appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice to serve
a three-year term as Independent Examiner of the Bank of New York. The Examinership
is one of the terms of the government’s nonprosecution agreement with the bank
over allegations that it was involved in fraud and money laundering and failed to comply
with mandatory reporting guidelines under the Bank Secrecy Act. Mr. Slemboski’s
responsibilities focus on overseeing the monitoring and testing of the bank’s anti-money-
laundering and auditing integration programs. The Examinership Team reports directly to
the United States Attorneys’ Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York,
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the New York State Banking Department and to
senior officials at the Bank of New York.

Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Slemboski served for more than 14 years with the U.S.
Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr.
Slemboski, as a Special Attorney under the authority of the U.S. Attorney General, led
the government’s trial team in the $14 billion Cendant accounting and securities fraud
case tried in federal district court in Connecticut. In January of 2005, after an eight-month
trial, the jury convicted the former vice-chairman of Cendant on all counts, including
conspiracy, securities fraud and submitting false filings to the SEC.

From 2002 to 2005, as the Chief of the Securities and Health Care Fraud Unit for the
Office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, he was responsible
for the administration and supervision of all securities and healthcare fraud investigations
and prosecutions in the District. Under Mr. Slemboski’s direction, the unit successfully
prosecuted numerous major corporate crimes, including financial statement and
disclosure fraud by FORTUNE 500 companies and their senior officers. Working closely
with the SEC, NYSE, NASD, CFTC, FBI, Postal Inspection Service, state securities
regulators and other relevant agencies, Mr. Slemboski oversaw the implementation of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the District, securing the country’s first prosecution of a
chief executive officer for violating the false financial statement certification provisions
of the Act.

During his tenure as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Mr. Slemboski’s achievements as a

white-collar prosecutor were repeatedly recognized. Among others, he was presented two
Director’s Awards by the U.S. Attorney General on behalf of the Department of Justice,
three letters of commendation from the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and the Chief’s Award from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Mr. Slemboski also spent
more than five years as a member of the Justice Department’s National Securities and
Commodities Fraud Working Group, as well as the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s Mid-Atlantic Enforcement Group, where he helped coordinate domestic
and international investigations of corporate corruption involving securities fraud, FCPA
violations, and disclosure violations.

As Senior Counsel with the SEC’s Division of Enforcement in Washington, D.C., Mr.
Slemboski investigated and litigated violations of the federal securities laws, with a
particular emphasis on complex financial fraud, M D & A disclosure violations, auditor
misconduct, insider trading and improprieties in the government bond markets. As trial
counsel for the Division of Enforcement, Mr. Slemboski successfully tried the SEC’s
civil proceeding against the Bank of Boston for failing to disclose material inadequacies
in the bank’s loan loss reserve. Mr. Slemboski was also primarily responsible for
investigating the tax-related violations in the Salomon Brothers investigation, which
resulted in the entry of an injunction and the imposition of a $290 million fine.

Mr. Slemboski has lectured extensively on the topics of securities fraud and litigating
complex accounting cases at bar conferences, accounting societies, the Justice
Department’s National Advocacy Center, the SEC’s Chief Enforcement Attorney
Conference, as well as at national training seminars conducted for agents by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. He has also lectured at
Georgetown University and has served as a contributing author for the Uniform Certified
Public Accountant’s Examination.

Prior to attending law school, Mr. Slemboski worked for five years as a certified public
accountant at a “big four” accounting firm where he provided audit and tax services to
publicly held corporations.

Mr. Slemboski is a member of the American Bar Association and the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. He has been rated AV, the highest peer review rating
available, by Martindale-Hubbell, the authoritative resource for information on the legal
profession.
