28 Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP 767 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10153-0119

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I, Stephen Karotkin, hereby declare as follows: 

I am a member of the firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP (“Weil” or the “Firm”), an 

international law firm with principal offices at 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153; regional 

offices in Washington, D.C.; Houston and Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; Boston, Massachusetts; 

Princeton, New Jersey; Redwood Shores, California; and foreign offices in London, United Kingdom; 

Warsaw, Poland; Frankfurt and Munich, Germany; Paris, France; and Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai, 

China. 

I submit this declaration (this “Declaration”) as a supplement to my Declaration, dated March 

13, 2019 (the “Original Declaration”), filed in support of the Application of Debtors Pursuant to 11 

U.S.C. § 327(a) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2014(a) and 2016 for Authority to Retain and Employ Weil, 

Gotshal & Manges LLP as Attorneys for the Debtors Effective as of the Petition Date [Docket No. 864] 

(the “Weil Retention Application”). On April 9, 2019, the Court entered the Order Authorizing 

Retention and Employment of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as Attorneys for Debtors Nunc Pro Tunc to 

Commencement Date [Docket No. 1298] (the “Weil Retention Order”). 

As disclosed in the Weil Retention Application, in the normal course of its business, Weil, adjusts 

its billing rates annually. On October 1, 2019, Weil increased its hourly rates and adopted the following 

revised standard billing structure: 

Weil Professional Original Rate Range Revised Rate Range 

Members and Counsel $1,075 to $1,600 $1,100 to $1,695 

Associates $560 to $995 $595 to $1,050 

Paraprofessionals $240 to $420 $250 to $435 

In addition, the Original Declaration provides that Weil will supplement the disclosures in the 

Original Declaration to the extent required as a result of any new material relevant facts or relationships 

becoming available during these Chapter 11 Cases.1

Weil has continued to implement its Firm Disclosure Procedures and update the Retention 

1

 Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original 

Declaration.

Checklist. As a result, Weil is hereby supplementing its prior disclosures to disclose that Weil previously 

has represented, currently represents, and may represent in the future the entities (or their affiliates) set 

forth on the supplemental schedule attached hereto (the “Supplemental Disclosure List”) in matters 

unrelated to these Chapter 11 Cases. An entity is listed as a “Current Client” on the Supplemental 

Disclosure List if Weil has any open matters for such entity or a known affiliate of such entity and 

attorney time charges have been recorded on any such matters within the past two (2) years. To the best 

of my knowledge and information, Weil has not represented, does not represent, and will not represent 

any of such entities in matters directly related to the Debtors or these Chapter 11 Cases. 

To the best of my knowledge and information, the annual fees for each of the last two years paid 

to Weil by any entity listed on the Supplemental Disclosure List or its affiliates did not exceed 1% of the 

Firm’s annual gross revenues. 

Either I or an attorney under my supervision has reviewed the connections between Weil and the 

entities identified on the Supplemental Disclosure List and the connections between those entities and 

the Debtors. In each case, it has been determined that Weil does not hold or represent an interest that is 

adverse to the interests of the Debtors’ estates and that Weil is a “disinterested person” as such term is 

defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy 

Code. 

To the extent any information disclosed herein requires amendment or modification upon Weil’s 

completion of further review or as additional material, relevant facts or relationships become available, 

Weil will file a further supplemental declaration stating such amended or modified information.
