AFFIDAVIT OF MARQUITTIA HARRINGTON

Before me, the undersigned, a Notary Public in and for the State of at Large,
personally appeared Marquittia "Marti" Harrington who is known to me and who being by me first duly
sworn on oath, deposes and says as follows:
My name is Marquittia Harrington and I am over the age of 19. I have personal knowledge of the
facts stated in this Affidavit and understand that it will be used by Jay Palmer in his lawsuit against
Infosys.
I am a former employee oflnfosys. Weird things started happening soon after I was put on the
Johnson Controls' project in Wisconsin in July 2010. Infosys was trying to get a better footing in the
Supply Chain Management arena. Jay Palmer is a Subject Matter Expert when it comes to Supply Chain
Management and it appeared to me the key to helping Infosys build this business unit. I know he also
helped Infosys recruit some experience resources and was directly involved in winning SCM business. It
was July or August 2010 that Jay asked me to help with a presentation at a large automotive supplier.
Jay did all the leg work, brought in the potential deal, built the material for the presentation and the
relationships. On the prep calls, Jay and I were the only Americans. This was not uncommon. What I
found uncommon in a professional environment was that one of the Indian resources made a few
comments that I felt were disrespectful towards Jay. I don't remember the comments but they were
around his knowledge of the product and business. This happened on a couple of prep calls. When we
did the sales presentation, we were all remote and that was very strange. I am still not clear how we did
not end up on-site with the customer but I do remember Jay saying this was a done deal. At the
beginning of the call, the Indian Resource that had been disrespectful towards Jay, took over the meeting
andwas trying to do the presentation and handle the customer interaction. It was clear the customer was
not happy and the Indian resource would not let Jay or I get a word in. The deal fell apart.
My role at JCI continued. Around September, I was the only non-Indian resource on the team.
The other non-Indian resource left soon after I joined. As time progressed, the customer started
including me in all high level meetings with senior management. While I managed the project, there
were two Infosys people (both Indian) that were to manage the relationship, negotiations and contracts.
One was a sales Rep (Vijay) and the other a Principle lead (Shan). During this time, these two resources
were included in Infosys leadership meetings and responsible for any of the paperwork pertaining to on-
shore resources. I was not included in those activities. My role continued to grow as I took on more of
the contract negotiations and strategic planning. While my responsibilities grew, the Infosys leadership
still did not include me in key meetings. By December, I was told by a JCI top level executive that
they requested the Principle lead to be replaced by me. They said I was "honest." I waited for Infosys to
say something to me but they never did. In January, I called my boss and asked for an explanation about
why I was not told of this request, why the Principle was still on the project, why I was not included in
the key meetings when I held the primary knowledge about the relationship. My boss (Sandeep
Prabhakar Kulkarni) said he was working to move the principle off the project but never gave me
feedback on my other questions. I then proceeded to share with him the knowledge I had about the
customer and he admitted he did not know of the issues and did not have any idea they existed. While I
was moved into the principle role, I only discussed issues with the Vijay and Sandeep. Again, I was not
included in the leadership meetings that the principle once sat in on.
In February of2011, I became fully aware of the issues with the Visa fraud. I began getting
phone calls from various company legal counsellors, wanting to know what I knew about the VISA
usage. At the time, I tried very hard to ignore the issue. Eventually, I looked at the list I had of Infosys
employees on the JCI Maximo project and their VISA status. This was the very list Jay had requested
and I provided in the fall of 20 10. I also did some reading on US VISAs and immediately realized there
was misuse. While I was in fear of company retaliation, I sent an email to our whistle blower account
and immediately started getting phone calls from Infosys lawyers. Additionally, Jay Palmer's attorney
contacted me to seek my permission to give my contact information to the federal agents working on the
issue. Two federal agents contacted me and wanted details about my involvement with Infosys's VISA
process and the list I had sent to Jay. In addition to being afraid of losing my job, I was now afraid that
because of my association with Infosys that I could get in trouble with the United States. Calls from
attorneys continued but the agents stopped contacting me soon after I submitted my whistle blower
email. After leaving Infosys, I found out the agents were not allowed to discuss issues with me without
an Infosys attorney present. This large consulting company was illegally using US VISAs for their own
corporate gain and they were forbidding direct contact with me by the US government because I (a US
citizen) worked for a company based in India.
The more I understood about the VISA issues, it seemed to get me in more trouble. JCI found
out about the VISA issue and I was asked in the spring if anyone on the JCI project from Infosys had
travelled to the US on the wrong VISA type. My answer was yes. I then went to discuss this
conversation with the Infosys sales rep and he was visibly irritated with me and told me I should not
have answered the question. I told him that I will not lie. We discussed for a bit longer and I walked
away from him. By this point, I feared I was going to get fired over this issue that was not my fault.
Other things that I noticed during the JCI assignment was that some of my co-workers were
being subjected to traveling on a limited or no expense account. I did not realize until researching the
VISAs why the company was forcing these people to travel and NOT covering their expenses the way
other employee expenses were covered. I too had my own financial issues while I waiting two, three
and four months to get my expenses reimbursed. In November, I was blessed and found another job so
I could leave Infosys. I took a contract for hire job in hopes of getting on full time with a family owned,
Infosys employees harassed Jay in my presence, discriminated against me, conducted business in
the US illegally and I'm still worried they will seek retaliation agcyn f} for being honest.
