I am familiar with and have personal knowledge of the facts set forth below. 4. Since March 1, 2018, FES has requested that the Firm provide government relations consulting services for FES, and the Firm has agreed to provide such services. Speci?cally, the Firm, through me, and other members, partners, associates, or employees of the Firm, has provided the following services to BS from and after the Petition Date: 0 Facilitation of meetings with Ohio Legislators and other interested parties on behalf of FES a Advocacy on behalf of FES to all stakeholders in the Ohio Legislature and Executive Branches of State Government 0 Participation in the process of selecting a proposed solution to market to the current General Assembly and Governor?s of?ce 5. As disclosed in the Declaration of Disinterestedness, the Firm was originally compensated for its services by payment of a fee of $1 0,000, plus reimbursement of actual necessary expenses and other charges incurred by the irm. However, the Firm and FES recently entered into an amendment to the Purchase Order, dated as of March 7, 2019 (the ?Eirst Amendment?), which contemplates an increase in the Finn?s fee from $10,000 to $15,000, plus reimbursement of actual necessary expenses and other charges incurred by the Firm. There are two primary reasons for the increase in the Finn?s fee: the Firm is entering a new stage in its work for FES and is transitioning from strategy development to execution of the strategy, which will require the Firm to dedicate more hours to its work for FES and (ii) FES has eliminated governmental relations consulting services from certain other professionals, which will increase the workload on the Firm. 6. Additionally, the First Amendment contemplates that the Firm will retain Tarrance Group Incorporated (?Tarrance Grou to provide certain polling and focus group research 18?50757-amk DOC 2218 FILED 03/07/19 ENTERED 03/07/19 16:55:49 Page 2 Of 3 services in support of legislative efforts.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
