)) ss.COUNTY OF BENTON )1. My name is Alan B. Meginnis.
I am Manager, Product Licensing, for AREVAInc. and as such I am authorized to execute this Affidavit.
- 2. I am familiar with the criteria applied by AREVA to determine whether certainAREVA information is proprietary.
I am familiar with the policies established byAREVA to ensure the proper application of these criteria.
- 3. I am familiar with the AREVA information contained in the presentation
- entitled, "AREVA MELLLA+ Methods Applicability,"
dated April 17, 2014 and referred to hereinas "Document."
Information contained in this Document has been classified by AREVA asproprietary in accordance with the policies established by AREVA for the control and protection of proprietary and confidential information.
- 4. This Document contains information of a proprietary and confidential natureand is of the type customarily held in confidence by AREVA and not made available to thepublic.
