Information Agent for the UCC nunc pro tunc to February 12, 2019, and the Court having 

reviewed the Application and considered the Declaration of Sidney Garabato (the “Garabato 

Declaration”) in connection with the Application and the Stipulation (the “Stipulation”)2

between the UCC and the Official Committee of Tort Claimants (the “TCC”) with respect to 

the retention of Epiq, the Court hereby finds as follows: (a) the Court has jurisdiction to 

consider the Application and the relief requested therein pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334; 

(b) consideration of the Application and the relief requested therein is a core proceeding

no other or further notice need be provided; and (e) the legal and factual bases set forth in the 

Application and the Declaration establish just cause for the relief granted herein. Now, 

therefore, upon all of the proceedings had before the Court, and after due deliberation and 

sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. The Application is granted as set forth herein, nunc pro tunc to February 12, 2019 

with respect to the UCC and February 15, 2019 with respect to the TCC.

6. Without further order of the Court, the Debtors are authorized to compensate Epiq 

in accordance with the terms and conditions of the UCC Services Agreement and the TCC Services 

Agreement, as applicable, upon Epiq’s submission to the Debtors of invoices summarizing, in

without the necessity for Epiq to file an application for compensation or reimbursement with the 

Court. 

7. To the extent services are performed for both the TCC and the UCC, Epiq shall

Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses of Professionals [Docket 

No. 701]). 

10. The parties shall meet and confer in an attempt to resolve any dispute which may 

arise relating to either the UCC Services Agreement, the TCC Services Agreement or monthly
