COLE SCHOTZ’S QUALIFICATIONS
4.
Since its retention, Cole Schotz has familiarized itself with the Debtors and
potential legal issues that may arise in the context of these Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, Cole
Schotz has the necessary background and knowledge to represent the Debtors in these Chapter 11
Cases in an effective and efficient manner.

PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION
6.
Cole Schotz intends to apply to the Court for allowance of compensation earned for
professional services rendered and reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses incurred in
connection with these Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules and any other applicable procedures and
orders of the Court. The Cole Schotz attorneys and paralegals primarily responsible for
representing the Debtors and their current standard hourly rates are:3
Name
Title
Hourly Rate
Patrick J. Reilley
Member
$805 per hour
Stacy L. Newman
Member
$725 per hour
Michael E. Fitzpatrick
Associate
$500 per hour
Melissa M. Hartlipp
Associate
$385 per hour
Larry S. Morton
Paralegal
$380 per hour
3
Cole Schotz generally increases its rates on or about September 1 of each year.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 8 of 43
4
7.
In addition, other attorneys, paralegals and other professionals may be involved as
necessary and appropriate to represent the Debtors. The current rates of Cole Schotz members,
special counsel, associates, paralegals and litigation support specialists are as follows:
Members
$550 to $1,475 per hour
Special Counsel
$620 to $750 per hour
Associates
$350 to $600 per hour
Paralegals
$260 to $440 per hour
Litigation Support Specialists
$405 to $510 per hour
8.
The hourly rates set forth above are the Firm’s standard hourly rates. These rates
are set at a level designed to compensate fairly the Firm for the work of its attorneys and paralegals
and to cover fixed and routine overhead expenses. Cole Schotz has informed the Debtors that its
hourly rates are subject to periodic adjustments to reflect economic and other conditions and to
reflect the professionals’ increased expertise and experience in their area of law.
9.
In addition, it is Cole Schotz’s policy to charge its clients in all areas of practice for
all other expenses incurred related to the representation. The expenses charged to clients include,
among other things, facsimile (outgoing only), toll and other charges, external teleconferencing,
mail and express mail charges, special or hand delivery charges, photocopying, scanning and
printing charges, travel expenses, expenses for “working meals,” computerized research,
transcription costs and non-ordinary overhead expenses such as secretarial and other overtime.
Cole Schotz will charge for these expenses in a manner and at rates consistent with charges made
generally to its other clients.
COLE SCHOTZ’S DISINTERESTEDNESS
10.
In connection with its proposed retention by the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases,
Cole Schotz conducted a search of its conflicts database with respect to the Debtors and a list of
potential parties in interest in these Chapter 11 Cases compiled by the Debtors and their proposed
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 9 of 43
5
professionals (collectively, the “Potential Parties in Interest”). The Potential Parties in Interest and
the results of Cole Schotz’s conflicts search are set forth on Schedule 1 and Schedule 24 attached
hereto, respectively.
11.
To the extent Cole Schotz’s search of its internal conflicts database indicated that
Cole Schotz has, or previously had, a relationship with any of the Potential Parties in Interest
during the three (3) calendar year period preceding the Petition Date, the identities of such parties
and Cole Schotz’s relationships with such parties are set forth in Schedule 2 annexed hereto.
Further, each of the representations identified on Schedule 2 is wholly unrelated to the Debtors
and these Chapter 11 Cases.
12.
Through its analysis, Cole Schotz determined that it has no connections with the
Debtors, creditors of the Debtors, their respective attorneys and accountants, the U.S. Trustee or
any person employed in the Office of the U.S. Trustee during the three-calendar-year period
preceding the Petition Date, except as set forth herein and on Schedule 2 attached hereto.
13.
Further, as part of its diverse practice, Cole Schotz appears in numerous cases,
proceedings and transactions involving many different professionals, including other attorneys,
accountants, financial consultants and investment bankers, some of whom are or represent
Potential Parties in Interest in these Chapter 11 Cases. Cole Schotz does not, and will not, represent
any such professional in these Chapter 11 Cases.
14.
Based on the results of Cole Schotz’s analysis, and except as otherwise disclosed
herein, Cole Schotz (i) does not represent any entity having an adverse interest in connection with
these Chapter 11 Cases and (ii) does not represent or hold an interest adverse to the interest of the
Debtors or their estates.
4
Schedule 2 lists entities that Cole Schotz either currently represents or formerly represented on matters unrelated
to these Chapter 11 Cases in the last three (3) calendar years.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 10 of 43
6
15.
To the best of my knowledge, information and belief, after reasonable inquiry, Cole
Schotz is disinterested within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code in that
neither I, Cole Schotz nor any of its members, special counsel or associates: (a) are creditors,
equity security holders or insiders of the Debtors; (b) are, or within two years before the Petition
Date were, a director, officer or employee of the Debtors; or (c) have an interest materially adverse
to the interest of the 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 or for any other reason.
16.
Despite the substantial efforts described above to identify and disclose potential
conflicts and connections with parties in interest in these cases, in light of the significant number
of creditors and other parties in interest in these Chapter 11 Cases, neither I nor Cole Schotz is
able to conclusively identify all potential relationships or state with absolute certainty that every
client representation or other connection of Cole Schotz has been disclosed. To the extent Cole
Schotz discovers any facts or additional information during the period of Cole Schotz’s retention
that requires disclosure, Cole Schotz will file with the Court a supplement to this Declaration to
disclose such information.
COMPENSATION RECEIVED BY COLE SCHOTZ FROM THE DEBTORS
17.
Cole Schotz was retained by the Debtors in connection with the preparation and
filing of these Chapter 11 Cases. Prior to the Petition Date, Cole Schotz received retainers and
payments totaling $1,482,829.10 from the Debtors. To date, $1,143,797.85 in fees and expenses
have been applied to outstanding balances existing as of the Petition Date. The remaining
$339,031.25 constitutes a retainer (the “Retainer”) for Cole Schotz’s post-petition services. The
Debtors do not currently owe Cole Schotz any amounts for legal services rendered prior to the
Petition Date.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 11 of 43
7
18.
A retainer is appropriate here. As this Court noted in In re Insilco Techs., Inc., 291
B.R. 628, 634 (Bankr. D. Del. 2003), courts apply a “reasonableness” standard to determine
whether the terms and conditions of a retention application, including retainers, are appropriate.
Key factors include:
(1)
whether terms of an engagement agreement reflect normal business terms
in the marketplace;
(2)
relationship between debtor and professional, i.e., whether parties are
sophisticated business entities with equal bargaining power who engaged in
arms-length negotiation;
(3)
whether the retention, as proposed, is in best interests of the estate;
(4)
whether there is creditor opposition to retention and retainer provisions; and
(5)
whether, given the size, circumstances and posture of the case, the amount
of the retainer is itself reasonable, including whether the retainer provides
appropriate level of “risk minimization,” especially in light of the existence
of any other risk-minimizing devices such as administrative order and/or
carve-out.
19.
The Debtors submit that the proposed Retainer is “reasonable” under the factors
articulated in Insilco. First, retainer agreements reflect normal business terms in the marketplace.
See id. (noting that “it is not disputed that the taking of evergreen retainers is a practice now
common in the market place. . . [and] the practice in this district has been engaged in since at least
the early 1990’s”). Second, Cole Schotz and the Debtors are sophisticated business entities that
have negotiated the Retainer at arm’s length. Third, approval of the proposed Retainer is in the
best interests of the estates, as it enables the Debtors to maintain the relationship with the Firm
they established pre-petition. Fourth, the Debtors are not aware of any creditor opposition to the
retention or proposed Retainer. Fifth, the Retainer protects Cole Schotz against the risk of non-
payment and is reasonable given the size and circumstances of these cases. Therefore, approval
of the proposed Retainer is warranted under the standards articulated in Insilco.

20.
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2016(b), Cole Schotz has neither shared nor agreed to
share (a) any compensation it has received or may receive in connection with these Chapter 11
Cases with another party or person, other than with the employees of Cole Schotz or (b) any
compensation another person or party has received or may receive in connection with these
Chapter 11 Cases.
ATTORNEY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO REVISED UST GUIDELINES
21.
Cole Schotz shall apply for compensation for professional services rendered and
reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the Debtors’ cases in compliance with
sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Rules,
the Local Rules and any other applicable procedures and orders of the Court. Cole Schotz also
intends to make a reasonable effort (taking into account the particular facts and circumstances of
these Chapter 11 Cases) to comply with the U.S. Trustee’s requests for information and additional
disclosures as set forth in the Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and
Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11 U.S.C. § 330 by Attorneys in Larger Chapter 11 Cases
Effective as of November 1, 2013 (the “Revised UST Guidelines”), both in connection with this
Application and with the interim and final fee applications to be filed by Cole Schotz in these
Chapter 11 Cases. While Cole Schotz is agreeing to do so in these cases, this statement regarding
the Revised UST Guidelines is made for these cases only and with a full and express reservation
of rights with respect to any other cases and matters.
22.
The following is provided in response to the request for additional information set
forth in Paragraph D.1. of the Revised UST Guidelines:
Question
Did you agree to any variations from, or alternatives to, your
standard or customary billing arrangements for this engagement?
Response
No. Cole Schotz professionals working on this matter will bill at
Cole Schotz’s standard hourly rates.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 13 of 43
9
Question
Do any of the professionals included in this engagement vary their
rate based on the geographic location of the bankruptcy case?
Response
No.
Question
If you represented the client in the 12 months prepetition, disclose
your billing rates and material financial terms for the prepetition
engagement, including any adjustments during the 12 months
prepetition. If your billing rates and material financial terms have
changed postpetition, explain the difference and the reasons for the
difference.
Response
As set forth above, Cole Schotz will bill at its standard hourly rates,
with all fees and expenses being subject to approval of the Court,
subsequent to the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases.
Question
Has your client approved your prospective budget and staffing plan,
and, if so for what budget period?
Response
The Debtors and their professionals are currently in the process of
formulating a detailed budget that is consistent with the form of
budget attached as Exhibit C-1 to the Revised UST Guidelines,
recognizing that in the course of a case like these Chapter 11 Cases,
it is highly likely that there may be a number of unforeseen fees and
expenses that will need to be addressed by the Debtors and their
professionals.
23.
Cole Schotz, as proposed counsel to the Debtors, will report directly to the Debtors.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I hereby declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing
is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

DECLARATION OF JOHN BIBB IN SUPPORT OF
DEBTORS’ APPLICATION FOR ENTRY OF AN ORDER AUTHORIZING THE
RETENTION AND EMPLOYMENT OF COLE SCHOTZ P.C. AS DELAWARE
CO-COUNSEL FOR THE DEBTORS EFFECTIVE AS OF THE PETITION DATE
I, John Bibb, hereby declare under penalty of perjury, as follows:
1.
I am the Group Chief Executive Officer of Vyaire Medical, Inc. and certain of its
affiliates, the debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) in the above-
captioned chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). Accordingly, I am in all respects competent
to make this declaration in support of the application (the “Application”)2 of the Debtors to retain
Cole Schotz P.C. (“Cole Schotz” or the “Firm”) as their counsel pursuant to sections 327(a), 329
and 1107 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101–1532 (as amended, the
“Bankruptcy Code”), Rules 2014 and 2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the
“Bankruptcy Rules”) and Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1 of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and
Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Local Rules”).
Except as otherwise noted, I have personal knowledge of the information set forth herein.
1 The last four digits of Debtor Vyaire Medical, Inc.’s federal tax identification number are 6495. A complete list
of each of the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases and each such Debtor’s federal tax identification number may be
obtained on the website of the Debtors’ claims and noticing agent at https://omniagentsolutions.com/Vyaire. The
location of Debtor Vyaire Medical, Inc.’s principal place of business and the Debtors’ service address in these
chapter 11 cases is 26125 North Riverwoods Boulevard, Mettawa, Illinois, USA 60045.
2 Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Application.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 40 of 43

2.
This declaration (the “Declaration”) is provided pursuant to Paragraph D.2 of the
Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed
Under 11 U.S.C. § 330 by Attorneys in Larger Chapter 11 Cases Effective as of November 1, 2013
(the “Revised UST Guidelines”). I am informed by counsel that the Revised UST Guidelines
suggest that any application for employment of an attorney under sections 327 or 1103(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code be accompanied by a verified statement from the client that addresses the
following:
(a)
The identity and position of the person making the verification. The person
ordinarily should be the general counsel of the debtor or another officer
responsible for supervising outside counsel and monitoring and controlling
legal costs.
(b)
The steps taken by the client to ensure that the applicant’s billing rates and
material terms for the engagement are comparable to the applicant’s billing
rates and terms for other non-bankruptcy engagements and to the billing
rates and terms of other comparably skilled professionals.
(c)
The number of firms the client interviewed.
(d)
If the billing rates are not comparable to the applicant’s billing rates for
other non-bankruptcy engagements and to the billing rates of other
comparably skilled professionals, the circumstances warranting the
retention of that firm.
(e)
The procedures the client has established to supervise the applicant’s fees
and expenses and to manage costs. If the procedure for the budgeting,
review and approval of fees and expenses differ from those the client
regularly employs in non-bankruptcy cases to supervise outside general
counsel, explain how and why. In addition, describe any efforts to negotiate
rates including rates for routine matters, or in the alternative to delegate
such matters to less expensive counsel.
3.
On the Petition Date, the Debtors commenced these Chapter 11 Cases by filing
voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). These Chapter 11 Cases are being
jointly administered for administrative purposes only.
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 41 of 43

4.
The Debtors continue to operate their business and manage their properties as
debtors and debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
5.
The Debtors selected Cole Schotz because of the Firm’s extensive knowledge,
expertise and experience in the field of debtors’ and creditors’ rights and business reorganizations
under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, Cole Schotz’s knowledge, expertise and
experience practicing before the Court will enable the Firm to work in an efficient and cost-
effective manner on behalf of the Debtors’ estates. In preparing for and filing these Chapter 11
Cases, Cole Schotz has become familiar with the Debtors’ business and affairs and many of the
potential legal issues that may arise in the context of these cases and since its engagement has
advised the Debtors on local rules, practices and procedures with respect to various restructuring
issues. Therefore, the Debtors believe that Cole Schotz is uniquely qualified to represent them in
these Chapter 11 Cases.
6.
The Debtors have reviewed Cole Schotz’s rates for the services to be rendered
consistent with the Application. I understand that those rates are consistent with (i) Cole Schotz’s
comparable engagements and the billing rates and terms of other comparably skilled firms for
providing similar services and (ii) Cole Schotz’s billing rates for other non-bankruptcy
engagements. The Debtors believe that these rates are reasonable.
7.
I understand that Cole Schotz is preparing a budget and staffing plan and will be
presenting it to the Debtors for approval. The Debtors will regularly monitor and review Cole
Schotz’s fees and expenses throughout this engagement.
8.
By virtue of the foregoing, and for the reasons set forth in the Application and the
Reilley Declaration, the Debtors believe that Cole Schotz is well-qualified to represent the Debtors
in these Chapter 11 Cases as their Delaware co-counsel and seek entry of the Proposed Order,
Case 24-11217-BLS Doc 239-2 Filed 07/09/24 Page 42 of 43
4
substantially in the form attached to the Application, authorizing the Debtors to retain Cole Schotz
as Delaware co-counsel effective as of the Petition Date in accordance with the terms set forth in
the Application.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I hereby declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing
is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
Dated: July 9, 2024
