Lawler, III, hereby declare as follows based on my personal knowledge:

1. I am an active member in good standing of the bars of the District of Columbia

and the State of Maryland. I am admitted pro hac vice in this litigation pursuant to the Court’s

Pretrial Order No. 1 (Oct. 6, 2016), ECF No. 2. I am an attorney with the law firm of Vinson &

Elkins LLP (“V&E”), counsel of record for non-party Jesudoss Rowland. Jon D. Jacobs, an

attorney with the Jacobs Law Firm PLLC of Washington, D.C., is co-counsel. Jon D. Jacobs is

submitting a separate declaration regarding his fees for work for Mr. Rowland.

2. I submit this Declaration in support of Nonparty Jesudoss Rowland’s Motion for

Attorneys’ Fees, filed on this day (“Motion for Fees”), as required by Civil Local Rule 37-4.

3. As required by Civil Local Rule 37-4(b)(2), from July 5 through July 7, 2017,

then again between July 30 and August 7, 2017, I conferred by email with Mr. Michael Miller,

Ms. Robin Greenwald, and Ms. Aimee Wagstaff, counsel for Plaintiffs, but was unsuccessful in

resolving this issue.

4. V&E’s Reasonable Attorneys’ Fees. V&E has extensive experienced in EPA

enforcement matters, government investigations, and class-action litigation. The work for Mr.

Rowland has been performed by attorneys in the Washington D.C. office, which is close to

where Mr. Rowland lives. This allowed us to meet and work with Mr. Rowland in person.

a) William E. Lawler, III: I am the co-head of V&E’s White Collar practice group. I have

over thirty years’ experience as an attorney. I served as an Assistant United States

Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and have been in

private practice at V&E for over twenty years, representing corporations, organizations,

and individuals in a wide variety of difficult and sensitive matters. My standard rate is

$945 per hour, but for this matter I charged a discounted rate of $830 per hour.

b) Jeremy Keeney: Jeremy Keeney is a third-year associate at V&E who is admitted pro

hac vice in other class-action cases in N.D. California. Before joining V&E, Mr. Keeney

served as a law clerk for the Senior Judges of the D.C. Court of Appeals. M</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">...</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>standard rate is $625 per hour, </b>but for this matter he charged a discounted rate of $550

per hour. Other V&E clients with pending class-action cases in the Northern District of

California pay equal or higher rates for his work.

5. Hourly rates similar to V&E’s hourly rates have been approved as reasonable in

other civil cases in the Northern District of California. These cases were decided several years

ago and during those intervening years, market rates in San Francisco have risen. In addition,

V&E’s San Francisco office charges similar rates.

A groundskeeper for the Benicia Unified School District in Solano County, California, north of San Francisco, Johnson went through hundreds of gallons of the stuff every week between the truck and his backpack sprayer. When it was windy, the pesticide would coat his body in a fine chemical mist. One day, the tank’s hose broke, soaking him from head to toe. A few months later, he developed a rash on his knee. A few months after that, the rash spread across his body. In 2014, Johnson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.</span></font></div><p data-gtm-vis-recent-on-screen-9326027_26="59586" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-9326027_26="59586" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-9326027_26="100" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-9326027_26="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; padding: 0.9375rem 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">On Friday, a California jury found that&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/10/health/monsanto-johnson-trial-verdict/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; transition: color 0.24s cubic-bezier(0.215, 0.61, 0.355, 1) 0s; text-decoration-line: none; position: relative; font-weight: 600;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-weight: 400;">Monsanto’s products likely caused Johnson’s cancer</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">, and ordered the company to pay the terminally-ill groundskeeper $289 million.

</div><div>https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/14/business/monsanto-roundup-safety-lawsuit.html</div><div>
</div><div>...he reputation of Roundup, whose active ingredient is the world’s most widely used weed killer, took a hit on Tuesday when a federal court unsealed documents raising questions about its safety and the research practices of its manufacturer, the chemical giant Monsanto.</div><div>
</div><div>Roundup and similar products are used around the world on everything from row crops to home gardens. It is Monsanto’s flagship product, and industry-funded research has long found it to be relatively safe. A case in federal court in San Francisco has challenged that conclusion, building on the findings of an international panel that claimed Roundup’s main ingredient might cause cancer.</div><div>
</div><div>The court documents included Monsanto’s internal emails and email traffic between the company and federal regulators. The records suggested that Monsanto had <b>ghostwritten research</b> that was later attributed to academics and indicated that a senior official at the Environmental Protection Agency had worked to quash a review of Roundup’s main ingredient, glyphosate, that was to have been conducted by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.</div><div>
</div><div>The documents also revealed that there was some disagreement within the E.P.A. over its own safety assessment.</div><div>
</div><div>The files were unsealed by Judge Vince Chhabria, who is presiding over litigation brought by people who claim to have developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a result of exposure to glyphosate. The litigation was touched off by a determination made nearly two years ago by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, that glyphosate was a probable carcinogen, citing research linking it to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.</div><div>Court records show that Monsanto was tipped off to the determination by a deputy division director at the E.P.A., Jess Rowland, months beforehand. That led the company to prepare a public relations assault on the finding well in advance of its publication. Monsanto executives, in their internal email traffic, also said Mr. Rowland had promised to beat back an effort by the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct its own review.</div><div>
</div><div>Dan Jenkins, a Monsanto executive, said in an email in 2015 that <b>Mr. Rowland,</b> referring to the other agency’s potential review, had told him, “If I can kill this, I should get a medal.” The review never took place. In another email, Mr. Jenkins noted to a colleague that Mr. Rowland was planning to retire and said he “could be useful as we move forward with ongoing glyphosate defense.”</div><div>
</div><div>The safety of glyphosate is not settled science. A number of agencies, including the European Food Safety Agency and the E.P.A., have disagreed with the international cancer agency, playing down concerns of a cancer risk, and Monsanto has vigorously defended glyphosate.</div><div>
</div><div>But the court records also reveal a level of debate within the E.P.A. The agency’s Office of Research and Development raised some concern about the robustness of an assessment carried out by the agency’s Office of Pesticide Programs, where Mr. Rowland was a senior official at the time, and recommended in December 2015 that it take steps to “strengthen” its “human health assessment.”</div><div>
</div><div>In a statement, Monsanto said, “Glyphosate is not a carcinogen.”</div><div>
</div><div>It added: “The allegation that glyphosate can cause cancer in humans is inconsistent with decades of comprehensive safety reviews by the leading regulatory authorities around the world. The plaintiffs have submitted isolated documents that are taken out of context.”</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>The E.P.A. had no immediate comment, and Mr. Rowland could not be reached immediately.</div><div>
</div><div>Monsanto also rebutted suggestions that the disclosures highlighted concerns that the academic research it underwrites is compromised. Monsanto frequently cites such research to back up its safety claims on Roundup and pesticides.</div><div>
</div><div>In one email unsealed Tuesday, <b>William F. Heydens, </b>a Monsanto executive, told other company officials that they could ghostwrite research on glyphosate by hiring academics to put their names on papers that were actually written by Monsanto. “We would be keeping the cost down by us doing the writing and they would just edit & sign their names so to speak,” Mr. Heydens wrote, citing a previous instance in which he said the company had done this.</div><div>
</div><div>Asked about the exchange, Monsanto said in a second statement that its “scientists did not ghostwrite the paper” that was referred to or previous work, adding that a paper that eventually appeared “underwent the journal’s rigorous peer review process before it was published.”</div><div>
</div><div>David Kirkland, one of the scientists mentioned in the email, said in an interview, “I would not publish a document that had been written by someone else.” He added, “We had no interaction with Monsanto at all during the process of reviewing the data and writing the papers.”</div><div>
</div><div>The disclosures are the latest to raise concerns about the integrity of academic research financed by agrochemical companies. Last year, a review by The New York Times showed how the industry can manipulate academic research or misstate findings. Declarations of interest included in a Monsanto-financed paper on glyphosate that appeared in the journal Critical Reviews in Toxicology said panel members were recruited by a consulting firm. Email traffic made public shows that Monsanto officials discussed and debated scientists who should be considered, and shaped the project.</div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

The documents counter industry-funded research that has long asserted Monsanto's flagship product—used by home gardeners, public park gardeners and farmers, and applied to hundreds of crops—is relatively safe.</font></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px 0px 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 32px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/14/business/monsanto-roundup-safety-lawsuit.html" style="text-decoration: none;">New York Times</a>:</font></p><blockquote style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px 0px 22px; line-height: 32px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The court documents included Monsanto's internal emails and email traffic between the company and federal regulators. The records suggested that Monsanto had ghostwritten research that was later attributed to academics and indicated that a senior official at the Environmental Protection Agency had worked to quash a review of Roundup’s main ingredient, glyphosate, that was to have been conducted by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.</font></p></blockquote><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px 0px 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 32px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">One of the documents unsealed by Judge Vince Chhabria was an email written by William F. Heydens, a Monsanto executive, giving his colleagues the green light to ghostwrite glyphosate research and then hire academics to put their names on the papers. He even cited an instance where the company had used this method in the past. "We would be keeping the cost down by us doing the writing and they would just edit & sign their names so to speak,” wrote Heydens.</font></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px 0px 22px; line-height: 32px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The documents also indicate that within the EPA, there was not only internal disagreement regarding the agency's own safety assessment of Roundup, but also foul play. In one email from 2015, Dan Jenkins, a Monsanto executive, said that<b> Jess Rowland, an EPA official who was heading the cancer risk evaluation of Roundup</b>, referring to an agency review, had told him over the phone, "If I can kill this, I should get a medal." The review never happened.</font></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px 0px 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 32px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The revelations from the current court challenge, a combination of more than 55 lawsuits filed against Monsanto in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California—including individuals who claim to have developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma due to glyphosate exposure—add significant weight to the mounting concerns about the widespread use of glyphosate, the main ingredient in RoundUp. It also raises concerns about Monsanto's questionable methods to ensure a light regulatory hand on its marketplace activities.</font></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px 0px 22px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 32px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The litigation was set in motion following the determination by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization's cancer arm, in March 2015, that Monsanto's controversial herbicide is "<a href="http://www.alternet.org/food/why-did-govt-give-big-thumbs-notorious-monsanto-pesticide-we-now-believe-causes-cancer" style="text-decoration: none;">probably carcinogenic to humans</a>."
