just cause for the relief granted herein; and the Court having found that the terms and conditions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Engagement Agreement, the
Debtors shall have no obligation to indemnify Omni, or provide contribution or reimbursement to
Omni, for any claim or expense that is either: (i) judicially determined (the determination having
become final) to have arisen from Omni’s bad faith, self-dealing, breach of fiduciary duty (if any),
gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud; (ii) for a contractual dispute in which the Debtors
allege the breach of Omni’s contractual obligations if the Court determines that indemnification,
contribution or reimbursement would not be permissible pursuant to In re United Artists Theatre
Co., 315 F.3d 217 (3d Cir. 2003); or (iii) settled prior to a judicial determination under (i) or (ii),

of perjury, declare as follows:
1.
I am the Executive Vice President of Omni Agent Solutions, Inc. (“Omni”), and I

3.
Omni is a chapter 11 administrator comprised of leading industry professionals with
significant experience in the administrative aspects of large, complex chapter 11 cases. Omni’s
professionals have experience in noticing, claims administration, solicitation, balloting and
facilitating other administrative aspects of chapter 11 cases and experience in matters of this size
and complexity. Omni’s professionals have acted as debtors’ claims and noticing agent and/or
administrative agent in many large bankruptcy cases in this district and in other districts
nationwide, including: In re Never Slip Holdings, Inc., No. 24-10663 (LSS) (Bankr. D. Del.
Apr. 3, 2024); In re Sunlight Fin. Holdings Inc., No. 23-11794 (MFW) (Bankr. D. Del. Nov. 1,

4.
As Administrative Agent, Omni will perform the bankruptcy administration
services specified in the Application and the Engagement Agreement. In performing such services,
Omni will charge the Debtors the rates set forth in the Engagement Agreement, which is attached
as Exhibit C to the Application.
8
Because of the voluminous nature of the orders cited herein, such orders have not been attached to
this Application. Copies of these orders are available upon request to the Debtors’ proposed counsel.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 237-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 8 of 24

5.
Omni is a “disinterested person” as that term is defined in section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code, in that Omni and its professional personnel:
(a)
are not creditors, equity security holders or insiders of the Debtors;
(b)
are not and were not, within two years before the date of the filing of these cases,
directors, officers, or employees of the Debtors; and
(c)
do not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the Debtors’ estates or
of any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any direct or
indirect relationship to, connection with or interest in the Debtors.
6.
I caused to be submitted for review by our conflicts system the names of all known
potential parties in interest (the “Potential Parties in Interest”) in the Chapter 11 Cases. The list of
Potential Parties in Interest was provided by the Debtors and included the Debtors, non-Debtor
affiliates, current and former directors and officers of the Debtors, significant stockholders,
secured creditors, lenders, the Debtors’ 30 largest unsecured creditors, contract counterparties,
landlords, vendors, insurers, utilities, governmental authorities, the United States Trustee and
persons employed in the office of the United States Trustee, and other parties. The results of the
conflict check were compiled and reviewed by Omni professionals under my supervision. At this
time, and as set forth in further detail herein, Omni is not aware of any connection that would
present a disqualifying conflict of interest. Should Omni discover any new relevant facts or
connections bearing on the matters described herein during the period of its retention, Omni will
use reasonable efforts to file promptly a supplemental declaration.
7.
To the best of my knowledge and based solely upon information provided to me by
the Debtors, and except as provided herein, neither Omni, nor any of its personnel, holds or
represents an interest materially adverse to the Debtors’ estates nor has a material connection to
the Debtors, their creditors, or related parties with respect to any matter for which Omni will be
employed. Omni may have relationships with certain of the Debtors’ creditors as vendors or in
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 237-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 9 of 24
4
connection with cases in which Omni serves or has served as claims and noticing agent and/or
administrative Agent for another chapter 11 debtor. However, to the best of my knowledge, no
such relationships are materially related to the Chapter 11 Cases.
8.
Omni has working relationships with certain of the professionals retained by the
Debtors and other parties herein, but such relationships are entirely unrelated to the Chapter 11
Cases. Omni has and will continue to represent clients in matters unrelated to the Chapter 11
Cases, and Omni and its personnel may have, and will continue to have, relationships personally
or in the ordinary course of its business with certain vendors, professionals, financial institutions,
and other parties in interest in connection with matters unrelated to these cases. Omni may also
provide professional services to entities or persons that may be creditors or parties in interest in
the Chapter 11 Cases, which services do not directly relate to, or have any direct connection with,
the Chapter 11 Cases or the Debtors.
9.
Omni and its personnel in their individual capacities regularly utilize the services
of law firms, accounting firms, and financial advisors. Such firms engaged by Omni, or its
personnel, may appear in these cases representing the Debtors or parties in interest. All
engagements where such firms represent Omni or its personnel in their individual capacities are
unrelated to the Chapter 11 Cases.
10.
Based on the foregoing, I believe that Omni is a “disinterested person” as that term
is defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, to the best of my knowledge,
information, and belief, neither Omni nor any of its employees hold or represent any interest
materially adverse to the Debtors’ estate with respect to any matter upon which Omni is to be
employed.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 237-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 10 of 24
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true
and correct to the best of my information, knowledge, and belief.

The Companies understand that to assist or enable Omni to provide the Services,
Omni will engage in communications with various persons acting on the Companies’ behalf (each,

as if such requests, advice, or information were provided by the Companies.
(c)

party constitutes legal or financial advice.
II.
RATES
(a)
The Companies agree to pay Omni for all fees, charges and costs for Services
provided on their behalf in the amounts set forth in the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “A”

Companies authorize to engage in a communication with Omni.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 237-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 13 of 24
Omni 4/18/24 (PHD)
(the “Rate Schedule”). In addition to the foregoing, Omni has agreed to provide the Companies
with (i) a $10,000 discount on prepetition fees (contingent upon the filing of at least one of the
Companies’ chapter 11 cases), and (ii) a twenty (20%) percent discount on hourly rates. Omni
reserves the right from time to time to amend the Rate Schedule by increasing its hourly rates, unit
prices, and any other charges, fees, and costs therein during the term of this Agreement and that
upon so doing, the parties agree that the rates, prices, and other charges shall be effective
immediately and constitute the operative Rate Schedule.
(b)
Omni may invoice the Companies monthly for the Services it provided during the
preceding calendar month consistent with the applicable Rate Schedule. All invoices are due and
payable upon receipt. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Companies
file one or more chapter 11 petitions, any payment made to Omni will be in accordance with
applicable bankruptcy law and orders of the bankruptcy court.
(c)
If any amount is unpaid to Omni thirty (30) days from the date of the Companies’
receipt of an invoice, the Companies agree to pay a late charge calculated as one and one-half
percent (1-1/2%) of the total amount unpaid every thirty (30) days. In the case of a dispute of any
portion of an invoice, the Companies shall give written notice to Omni within ten (10) days of
receipt of the invoice as to the charges disputed and the basis thereof. The undisputed portion of
the invoice will remain due and payable immediately upon receipt, but late charges shall not accrue
on any amounts in dispute or any amounts unable to be paid due to Court order or applicable law.
At its sole discretion, Omni may first apply any payment received against the cumulative sum of
the late charges then due before it applies any remaining balance to the outstanding principal
balance
(d)
Omni may require an advance or direct payment from the Companies of an
individual expense, or a group of related expenses, which are expected to exceed $7,500 (e.g.,
publication notice).
(e)
The Companies shall pay or reimburse all taxes applicable to services performed
under this Agreement and, specifically, taxes based on disbursements made on behalf of the
Companies, notwithstanding how such taxes may be designated, levied, or based. This provision
is intended to include sales, use, and excise taxes, among other taxes, but is not intended to include
personal property taxes or taxes based on net income of Omni.
(f)
The Companies shall pay to Omni all actual charges (including fees, costs and
expenses as set forth in the then effective Rate Structure) related to, arising out of, or resulting
from, any error or omission made by the Companies including, without limitation, print or copy
re-runs, supplies, long distance phone calls, travel expenses and overtime expenses for work
chargeable at the rates set forth in the Rate Structure
(g)
Upon execution of this Agreement, the Companies shall pay Omni a retainer of
$50,000 (the “Retainer”). Omni may use the Retainer against all reasonable and documented
prepetition fees and expenses, which Retainer shall then be replenished as promptly as practicable
by the Companies to its original amount. At Omni’s discretion, the Retainer may then be applied
to the payment of the final invoice from Omni under and pursuant to this Agreement (the “Final
Invoice”), or to any other invoice. Except with respect to the Final Invoice, upon notice

replenish the Retainer as promptly as practicable to its original amount. Omni shall return to the

(a)
The Agreement is effective immediately upon its execution by the parties;
provided, however, that it shall be subject to, if and when applicable, the terms of any order entered
approving the engagement of Omni by the Companies in the Companies’ chapter 11 proceeding(s).
(b)
If the Companies commence one or more chapter 11 cases pursuant to the Code,
then as soon as is practicable, the Companies agree to and shall take all necessary actions to obtain
bankruptcy court approval to retain Omni as their claims and noticing agent pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 156(c), and as its administrative agent pursuant to section 327(a) of the Code for all Services that
fall outside the scope of 28 U.S.C. § 156(c). The form and substance of any application concerning
Omni’s retention and any order setting forth its terms are subject to Omni’s approval which shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
bankruptcy court does not enter an order approving Omni’s retention pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

material harm to the Companies’ effort and ability to restructure in their chapter 11 cases; or (d)

such Services, including for any Services which have then not yet been invoiced. Omni shall
coordinate with the Companies and, to the extent applicable, the clerk of the bankruptcy court, to
maintain an orderly transfer of record keeping functions, shall provide the necessary staff and
assistance required for an orderly transfer, and the Companies agree to pay all sums which may
become due in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the Companies’ written

Omni for all of its Services and that they shall remain liable to Omni for all fees and expenses
thereafter charged by Omni for maintaining, storing or disposing of any or all of it. Omni agrees
that it will dispose of the Companies’ Data in a manner requested by or acceptable to the
Companies; provided, however, that if Omni has not provided Services to the Companies for a
period of ninety (90) days and provides no less than thirty (30) days written notice, Omni may
dispose of any or all of the Companies’ Data in any commercially reasonable at the Companies’
sole expense. The Companies agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate and maintain
backup files that would allow the Companies to regenerate or duplicate all programs, data or
information which is provided on their behalf to Omni.
(c)
If Omni is retained pursuant to bankruptcy court order, disposal of any of the
Companies’ Data shall comply with any applicable court orders and rules or clerk’s office
instructions.

Omni 4/18/24 (PHD)
limitation, any express or implied warranty of merchantability, fitness or adequacy for a particular
purpose or use, quality, productiveness, or capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the above
disclaimer is not enforceable under applicable law, such disclaimer will be construed by limiting
its enforceability to the extent compatible with applicable law.
X.
INDEMNIFICATION
(a)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Companies shall indemnify
and hold harmless Omni and its members, directors, officers, employees, representatives, affiliates,
consultants, subcontractors and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the
“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments,
liabilities and expenses, whether direct or indirect (including, without limitation, counsel fees and
expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, arising out of or related to Omni’s performance
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Losses include any liabilities resulting
from claims by any third parties against any Indemnified Party.
(b)
Omni and the Companies shall provide notice to the other in writing promptly upon
the assertion, threat or commencement of any claim, action, investigation or proceeding that either
party becomes aware of with respect to the services provided under and pursuant to the Agreement.
(c)
The Companies’ indemnification of Omni hereunder shall exclude Losses resulting
from Omni’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(d)
The Companies’ indemnification obligations hereunder shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
XI.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Except as expressly provided herein, Omni’s liability to the Companies for any Losses,
unless due to Omni’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be limited to the total amount
paid by the Companies for the portion of the particular specific task or expense of the Service that
gave rise to the alleged Loss. In no event shall Omni’s liability to the Companies for any Losses
arising out of this Agreement exceed the total amount actually paid to Omni for services provided
under and pursuant to this Agreement. Moreover, in no event shall Omni be liable for any indirect,
special, or consequential damages (such as loss of anticipated profits or other economic loss) in
connection with or arising out of the services provided under and pursuant to this Agreement.
XII.
GENERAL
(a)
Each party acknowledges that authorized person(s) on its behalf have read
Agreement, understands it, and agrees to be bound by its terms. Each party further agrees that it is
the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties, which supersedes and

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 237-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 18 of 24
Omni 4/18/24 (PHD)
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way
be affected or impaired thereby.
(c)
This Agreement may be modified only by a writing duly executed by a Companies
Party, on behalf of the Companies, and an officer of Omni.
(d)
This Agreement and the rights and duties hereunder shall not be assignable by the
parties hereto except upon written consent of the other; provided, however, that either party may
assign this Agreement to a wholly‐owned subsidiary or affiliate or to an entity which has succeeded
to all or substantially all of the business or assets of a party without the other party’s consent,
provided that the assigning party provides adequate assurance of performance by the proposed
assignee.
(e)
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This
Agreement will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the
parties and delivered to the other party, which delivery may be made by exchange of copies of the
signature page by fax or email.
(f)
Whenever performance by Omni of any of its obligations hereunder is materially
prevented or impacted by reason of any act of God, government requirement, strike, lock‐out or
other industrial or transportation disturbance, fire, flood, epidemic, lack of materials, law,
regulation or ordinance, act of terrorism, war or war condition, or by reason of any other matter
beyond Omni’s reasonable control, then such performance shall be excused, and this Agreement
shall be deemed suspended during the continuation of such prevention and for a reasonable time
thereafter.
(g)
The Companies will use their best efforts to cooperate with Omni at the Companies’
facilities if any portion of the Services require Omni’s physical presence.
(h)
Each party agrees that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly
solicit for employment, employ or otherwise retain as employees, consultants or otherwise, any
employees of the other party during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) months
after termination thereof unless the other party provides prior written consent to such solicitation
or retention; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions will not prevent either party from
hiring or seeking to hire any such person who responds to general advertising or a general
solicitation not targeted to the employees of the other party.
(i)
The Companies and Omni are and shall be independent contractors of each other
and no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship shall arise, directly or
indirectly, as a result of this Agreement.
(j)
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by
the Companies and Omni to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be
applied against either party.

(k)
In the event that any arbitration legal action, including an action for declaratory
relief, is brought to enforce the performance or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the
parties agree that the prevailing party is entitled to be paid all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees,
court costs, and any other expense reasonably related thereto in the amount which may be set by
the court or by an arbitrator, whether in the same action or in a separate action brought for the
purpose of establishing such amount, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party
may be entitled.
(l)

by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its
Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. There shall be one arbitrator named in accordance with
such rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language in New York in accordance
with the United States Arbitration Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the pendency of any
applicable chapter 11 case(s) of the Companies, any disputes related to this Agreement shall be
decided by the bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the chapter 11 case(s).
(n)
Omni reserves the right to make changes in operating procedures, operating
systems, programming languages, general purpose library programs, application programs, time
periods of accessibility, types of terminals and other equipment, and the Omni database serving
the Companies, so long as any such changes do not materially interfere with ongoing Services
provided to the Companies in connection with the Companies’ pending bankruptcy case(s).
(o)
All headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not
part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement.
