 Hon. Dennis Montali 

I, Jeffrey Neal, declare: 

1. I am, and at all times relevant have been, the Senior Manager, Customer Financial

Services, of U.S. TelePacific Corp. dba TPx Communications (hereinafter “U.S. TelePacific”), and I 

am personally familiar with the following facts: 

2. U.S. TelePacific provides telecommunications and internet services to PG&E

Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company under one billing account TPX-146669.

3. I have reviewed PG&E’s statements submitted to PG&E for services for several

months. Average monthly charges are approximately $53,000.00, the highest charge being 

$57,000.00. Shortly prior to bankruptcy, PG&E’s check for December 31, 2018, charges were 

dishonored in the amount of $51,711.00. Total now owed is the sum of $108,749.87. Statement 

date of 01/31/19 showing balance due in the sum of $108,749.87 is attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. 

4. Our billing cycle is thirty (30) days and, pursuant to the Master Service Agreement

(“Agreement), attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, as modified by the Addendum attached hereto as 

Exhibit “B”, bills are due and payable not later than sixty (60) days. 

5. Because of the time required for billing and payment, it is my opinion that an

adequate protection payment equal to two months, or in the amount of $114,000.00 is a reasonable 

deposit. If paid to U.S. TelePacific Corp. it will be held in an interest-bearing account and applied to 

an unpaid invoice outstanding more than sixty (60) days. Given the sixty (60) day terms of our 

statements to PG&E, by the time default occurs there will be another sixty (60) days’ of charges, for 

a total of four (4) months, or $228,000.00 at a monthly billing of $57,000.00, being the amount of 

our highest charge. 

I declare under penalty of perjury according to the laws of the United States of America that the 

foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 20th day of February, 2019, at Las Vegas, Nevada.
