`
`in interest; and after due deliberation thereon and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor:
`
`THE COURT HEREBY MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT AND
`CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:3
`
`A.
`
`The Court has jurisdiction to consider this Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334
`
`and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District
`
`of Delaware, dated February 29, 2012 (Sleet, C.J.). This is a core proceeding within the meaning
`
`of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue of these Chapter 11 Cases is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§
`
`1408 and 1409.
`
`B.
`
`The predicates for the relief granted herein are sections 105, 363, 1107, and 1108
`
`of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006, 9006 and Local Rules 2002, 6004-
`
`1, and 9006-1.
`
`C.
`
`The relief granted herein, and the entry of this Order, is in the best interests of the
`
`Debtors, their estates, their creditors and other parties in interest. The Debtors have articulated
`
`good, sufficient, and sound business reasons for authorizing and approving the relief requested in
`
`
`3 The findings and conclusions set forth herein constitute the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law
`pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this proceeding pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the
`extent that any of the foregoing findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such. To the
`extent any of the following conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, they are adopted as such.

`
`the Motion, including the approval of the Bidding Procedures, which were developed in good faith
`
`and are fair, reasonable, and appropriate under the circumstances.
`
`D.
`
`The Debtors provided good, sufficient, and adequate notice of the Motion, the
`
`Auction, and certain other dates and deadlines related thereto and to the Bidding Procedures. Such
`
`notice is reasonably calculated to provide all parties in interest with timely and proper notice, and
`
`no other or further notice of, or hearing on, each is necessary or required. A reasonable opportunity
`
`to object or to be heard regarding the relief requested in the Motion was afforded to all interested
`
`persons and entities.
`
`E.
`
`The process for filing the Stalking Horse Bidder Notice and the potential
`
`subsequent granting of any Bid Protections is appropriate and reasonably calculated to provide all
`
`interested parties with timely and proper notice.
`
`F.
`
`The Assumption and Assignment Procedures provided for herein and the Cure
`
`Schedule are reasonable and appropriate and consistent with the provisions of section 365 of the
`
`Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 6006, and have been tailored to provide an adequate
`
`opportunity for all counterparties to assert any objections to the assumption and assignment and/or
`
`transfer of Potential Assumed/Assigned Contracts and related Cure Amounts.
`
`G.
`
`Entry of this Order is in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates, their creditors,
`
`and all other parties in interest.
`
`IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`The Motion and the relief requested therein is GRANTED as set forth herein.
`
`All objections, to the extent not withdrawn, waived, settled, or not otherwise
`
`resolved, are hereby DENIED and OVERRULED on the merits with prejudice. All withdrawn
`
`objections are deemed withdrawn with prejudice.

`
`provision, section, or procedure.

`
`Bidding Procedures or the Assumption and Assignment Procedures and implement additional
`
`procedural rules that the Debtors determine, in their business judgment, will better promote the
`

`
`Court order. The Debtors shall promptly file a notice of any material modifications to the Bidding
`
`Procedures or the Assumption and Assignment Procedures with this Court.

`
`Bid Protections are being approved herein and any such approval shall be subject to further order

`
`contemplated by the applicable Stalking Horse Bid, and will only be payable on the effective date
`
`of a Plan or the closing of a Sale from the cash proceeds of the transaction, as applicable.

`
`shall be served by email, where available, or otherwise by first class mail, to the following parties,

`If a timely Stalking Horse Objection is filed, the Debtors will schedule a hearing
`
`regarding such objection as soon as reasonably practicable. The Debtors are authorized to file a
`
`notice seeking an expedited hearing with respect to the Stalking Horse Objection on not fewer than

`3 is hereby approved, and the Assumption and Assignment Procedures are deemed to be sufficient
`
`to provide effective notice to the Contract Counterparties of the Debtors’ intent to potentially
`
`assume and assign some or all of the contracts listed on the Cure Schedule. Such notice is deemed
`
`to satisfy the notice requirements under Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, and 6006, as well as Local
`
`Rule 6004-1, and to otherwise comply in all respects with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
`
`Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and Local Rules.

`The Special Committee is authorized, on behalf of the Debtors, to conduct an
`
`Auction, if necessary, as set forth in the Bidding Procedures. The Auction may be conducted via
`
`remote video or in-person, at the Debtors’ election. In the event the Debtors elect to conduct the
`
`Auction in person, such Auction shall take place on or before November 1, 2024 at 10:30 a.m.
`
`(prevailing Eastern Time) at the offices of White & Case LLP, 1221 Avenue of the Americas,
`
`New York, NY 10020 and/or a virtual room hosted by the Debtors’ counsel, or such other location
`
`as may be determined by the Debtors. To the extent the Debtors modify the date, time, or place of
`
`the Auction (if any), notice shall be given to (i) any Qualified Bidders, (ii) the Committee, (iii) the
`
`U.S. Trustee, via email. The Debtors are authorized, subject to the terms of this Order and the
`
`Bidding Procedures, to take all actions necessary, based on their reasonable discretion and in
`
`consultation with the Committee as provided in the Bidding Procedures, to conduct the Auction in
`
`a manner that will result in the highest and otherwise best offer for the Debtors’ assets.
`
`16.
`
`The Auction will be conducted openly and all creditors will be permitted to attend
`
`(but, unless such creditor is a Qualified Bidder, not participate in) the Auction, subject to
`
`reasonable limitations imposed by a virtual auction platform, if applicable and necessary, to be
`
`evaluated and determined by the Debtors in their reasonable discretion; provided that any such
`
`creditor that wishes to attend the auction must provide the Debtors with written notice of their
`
`intent to attend the Auction one (1) business day prior to the Auction, which written notice shall
`
`be sent to counsel for the Debtors via electronic mail, to peter.strom@whitecase.com.
`
`17.
`
`The Special Committee, acting on behalf of the Debtors, and the Debtors’
`
`professionals shall direct and preside over the Auction (if any) and any Auction shall be
`
`transcribed. Each Qualified Bidder participating in the Auction (if any) must confirm on the record
`
`at such Auction that it (i) has not engaged in any collusion with respect to the bidding described

`
`herein; provided that, to the extent the Ad Hoc Group is a Qualified Bidder and has discussed the
`
`terms of any Bid with any Potential Bidder in accordance with the settlement term sheet attached
`
`as Exhibit 1 to Docket No. 449 (the “Settlement Agreement”), the occurrence of such Joint Bid
`
`Discussions shall not be considered collusion for purposes hereof, (ii) has reviewed, understands
`
`and accepts the Bidding Procedures, and (iii) consents to the core jurisdiction of the Court with
`
`respect to the Bidding Procedures, the Auction (if any), and the construction and enforcement of
`
`documents relating to any transaction proposed in a Qualified Bid.
`
`18.
`
`The Debtors (including the Special Committee, the board of directors, board of
`
`managers, or similar governing body of a Debtor) are authorized (subject to consultation with the
`
`Committee as set forth in the Bidding Procedures and the rights of the Ad Hoc Group and other
`
`creditors to raise objections with the Court, and in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties
`
`and applicable law) to: (i) determine which Qualified Bid at the Auction (if any) is the highest or
`
`best proposal; (ii) reject any Bid that is (a) inadequate or insufficient, (b) not in conformity with
`
`the requirements of the Bidding Procedures or the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or (c)
`
`contrary to the best interests of the Debtors and their estates; (iii) waive certain terms and
`
`conditions set forth herein with respect to all Potential Bidders and Qualified Bidders; provided,
`
`however, that the Debtors (including the Special Committee, the board of directors, board of
`
`managers, or similar governing body of a Debtor) shall not be authorized to waive any provisions
`
`in this Order or the Bidding Procedures regarding the prohibition on collusion, restrictions
`
`regarding insiders and affiliates, or notice requirements with respect to Bid Protections; (iv)
`
`impose additional terms and conditions at the Auction (if any) with respect to all Qualified Bidders;
`
`(v) extend the deadlines set forth herein; (vi) continue or cancel the Auction (if any) in open court
`
`without further notice; and (vii) modify the Bidding Procedures, if necessary, and implement

`
`additional procedural rules that the Debtors determine, in their business judgment, will better
`
`promote the goals of the bidding process and discharge their fiduciary duties and are not
`
`inconsistent with this or any other order of this Court.
`
`19.
`
`Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bidding Procedures, the Debtors
`
`and the Debtors’ Advisors will not consult with or provide copies of any Bids (as defined below)
`
`or other confidential information to (i) any insider or affiliate of the Debtors or (ii) any member of
`
`the Committee if such party is reasonably determined by the Special Committee to be a Potential
`
`Bidder. For the avoidance of any doubt, any insider or affiliate of the Debtors that is determined
`
`by the Special Committee to be a Potential Bidder shall be required to recuse itself from any board
`
`discussions or deliberations regarding any Proposed Transaction. If a member of the Committee
`
`is determined by the Special Committee to be a Potential Bidder, the Special Committee shall
`
`notify the Committee of such designation within one (1) business day. Thereafter, the Committee
`
`will maintain its consultation rights, provided that the Committee (i) excludes such Committee
`
`member from any discussions or deliberations regarding any Proposed Transaction and (ii) shall
`
`not provide such Committee member any confidential information with respect to any Proposed
`
`Transaction. For the avoidance of any doubt, to the extent an excluded Committee member is no
`
`longer considered a Potential Bidder by the Special Committee, then such Committee member
`
`may fully participate in the Committee’s exercise of its rights hereunder. In the event that each
`
`member of the Ad Hoc Group informs the Debtors and the Committee in writing that it no longer
`
`intends to participate as a Potential Bidder, the Ad Hoc Group shall from that point forward have
`
`the information rights provided herein and each member of the Ad Hoc Group shall no longer be
`
`considered a Potential Bidder unless otherwise determined by the Special Committee (in
`
`consultation with the Committee).

`
`such other date to be set based on the Court’s availability) or contemporaneously with confirmation
`
`of the Plan, as applicable if the Proposed Transaction is a Sale Transaction, or (ii)
`
`contemporaneously with confirmation of the Plan (which shall be scheduled and noticed for a
`

`

`
`Assumption and Assignment Procedures
`
`24.
`
`The procedures set forth below regarding notice of assumption and assignment of
`
`Potential Assumed/Assigned Contracts by the Debtors in connection with a proposed Sale
`
`Transaction (the “Assumption and Assignment Procedures”) are hereby approved:
`
`(a)
`
`(b)
`
`Assumption and Assignment Notice. No later than twenty-one (21) days
`before a hearing to approve a Sale Transaction, the Debtors, after consulting
`with the Committee, and following, if applicable pursuant to paragraph 19
`of this Order, the provision of notice to the Ad Hoc Group, shall file an
`Assumption and Assignment Notice, identifying executory contracts and
`unexpired leases that the Debtors may assume and assign and/or transfer in
`connection with a Sale Transaction to the Successful Bidder (the “Potential
`Assumed/Assigned Contracts”). The Assumption and Assignment Notice
`shall (i) identify Potential Assumed/Assigned Contracts; (ii) identify the
`Debtor counterparty to such Potential Assumed/Assigned Contracts; (iii)
`list the proposed cure amounts, if any, that the Debtors, in consultation with
`the Committee, believe must be paid to cure all defaults outstanding under
`each Potential Assumed/Assigned Contract (the “Cure Amounts”) as of
`such date; (iv) include a statement that assumption and assignment of such
`Potential Assumed/Assigned Contract is not required or guaranteed; and (v)
`inform such Contract Counterparty of the requirement to file any
`Cure/Assignment Objection by the Cure/Assignment Objection Deadline.
`Service of the Assumption and Assignment Notice, including the Cure
`Schedule, upon a Contract Counterparty does not constitute an admission
`that a particular Potential Assumed/Assigned Contract is an executory
`contract or unexpired lease, or confirm that the Debtors are required to
`assume and/or assign such contract or lease.
`
`Additional Assumption and Assignment Notice. If the Debtors (including
`in consultation with the Committee and following, if applicable pursuant to
`paragraph 19 of this Order, the provision of notice to the Ad Hoc Group),
`Successful Bidder, or Back-Up Bidder, as applicable, in accordance with
`the Bidding Procedures, identify additional executory contracts or
`unexpired leases that it wishes to add to or remove from to the Potential
`Assumed/Assigned Contracts and Cure Schedule (each an “Additional
`Contract”) the Debtors shall, as soon as practicable after making or being

`alleged to be due by such Contract Counterparty, and include complete
`contact information for such Contract Counterparty (including address,
`telephone number, and email address); (iii) comply with the Bankruptcy
`Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules; and (iv) be served on the

`and Assignment Notice (an “Additional Potential Assignment/Cure
`Objection”) must: (i) be made in writing and filed on the docket by the later
`of (a) the Cure/Assignment Objection Deadline and (b) fourteen (14)
`calendar days after the Debtors file and serve the Additional Assumption
`and Assignment Notice (as applicable, the “Additional Potential
`Assignment/Cure Objection Deadline”); (ii) state the basis of such
`objection with specificity, including, without limitation, any Cure Amount
`alleged by such Contract Counterparty, and include contact information for
