relationships with the Debtors' creditors, their equity security holders, the Office of the United

case as identified in publically available information provided by the Debtors (the "Potential

with the Potential Parties in Interest. This inquiry revealed neither Sullivan Hazeltine nor any of
its attorneys has represented or has had a relationship with any of the Potential Pmiies in Interest

with the Committee and other parties in interest, it is possible that connections with some parties
in interest have not yet been identified. Should Sullivan Hazeltine learn of any new connections
of the nature discussed herein, the Firm will promptly so advise the Court by supplementing this
declaration when necessary.

relationship to this matter.
