       3.      The Objection Deadline has passed, and no objections to the Application appear

on the docket or were served upon undersigned counsel. However, the U.S. Trustee informally

raised concerns regarding the Application (the “Informal Objections”).

       4.      The Committee and the U.S. Trustee have negotiated in good faith to resolve the

Informal Objections, and the Committee has amended the proposed form of order approving the

Application to reflect the agreement of the parties (the “Revised Order”). Moreover, at the

request of the U.S. Trustee, McDermott has filed a supplemental declaration in support of the

Application [Docket Nos. 322, 323] (the “Supplemental Declaration”), and the Committee has

filed a declaration by the Chair of the Committee in support of the Application [Docket No. 321]

(the “Committee Declaration”). Counsel to the U.S. Trustee has reviewed the Revised Order, the

Supplemental Declaration, and the Committee Declaration, and does not object to the entry of

the Revised Order, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A redline version of the Revised

Order reflecting all changes from the form of order submitted with the Application is attached

hereto as Exhibit B.
