Following are excerpts from the deposition of Joyce Moss-Clay: Attorney Kelly Greenwood Prather asked Moss-Clay about

her consulting work for the construction company RHJ-JOC and her arrangement with HISD trustee Larry Marshall. Q: Okay. Did you ever give any money to Mr. Marshall out of what RHJ paid you? A: Yes. Q: And is there a percentage amount or a dollar amount you can tell me? A. A percentage. Q. What percentage is that? A. What started out as a fourth worked up to three-fourths sometimes. Q. So Mr. Marshall would get 25 percent to 75 percent of what RHJ or Ms. Jacksons firm paid you? A. Yes.

Q. Why did you pay Mr. Marshall money from your RHJ fee? A. I paid Mr. Marshall primarily of any of the work that we collaborated on, so I wouldnt just single her out. But he was important in my attempt to build -- not really build, but to establish a vehicle for assisting persons who were in need, or wanted, or desired to participate in some of the markets that had been limited to, lets say, male-dominated areas, marketplaces. And so he and I felt that we had skill sets that would -- we could share with others to help them do the business development, or to

do strategic plans that could be incorporated into the way they operated.

Q. Why did you give up such a high percentage of your earnings to Mr. Marshall? A. I felt obligated to, primarily because much of my development over the years, professional development associated with the personal experience I brought to the job, was the reason why I advanced through HISD. And it was all as a result of his coaching and mentoring me and joining me in projects, you know, for a number of years. So I was -- I had no problem with giving that to him. None.
