4. Each item that is included in the Affidavit of Amy B. Abbott and attached as
Exhibit A thereto is, in my judgment, which is based on my substantial legal experience: (l) a
reasonable and necessary expense; (2) does not include any expenses that were unnecessary,
redundant, or excessive; (3) was calculated using hourly rates and fees that are no greater than
K&LNG’s customary fees for cases of this type; and (4) is the amount that has been or will be
