2. The Debtors seek to (i) retain Deloitte Tax pursuant to the terms and conditions

set forth in those certain engagement letters, (a) dated February 14, 2018, for tax return

and, (c) dated January 19, 2018 for tax advisory services related to federal, foreign, state and

local tax matters, including the related work order, dated on or about January 22, 2018, and any

other work orders issued thereunder (the “Tax Advisory Engagement Letter,” and, together

with the Tax Preparation Services Engagement Letter and the Global Employer Tax Engagement

Letter, the “Engagement Letters”), attached to the Application as Exhibits B1-B3, (ii) approve

the terms of Deloitte Tax’s employment, including the proposed compensation arrangements and

the indemnification provisions set forth in the Engagement Letters, and (iii) obtain related relief.

3. The statements set forth in this Declaration are based upon my personal

knowledge, upon information and belief, and/or upon client matter records kept in the ordinary

course of business that were reviewed by me or other personnel of Deloitte Tax or its affiliates.

Deloitte Tax’s Qualifications

4. Deloitte Tax is a tax services firm with offices across the United States. Deloitte

Tax has significant experience in providing tax services and has performed similar services in

large and complex chapter 11 cases on behalf of debtors throughout the United States, including

numerous cases in this district. Such experience renders Deloitte Tax well-qualified and able to

provide services to the Debtors during the pendency of these chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11

Cases”). Deloitte Tax’s services fulfill an important need and are not provided by any of the

Debtors’ other professionals.

2
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 4 of 20

5. In addition, since approximately October 2015, Deloitte Tax has provided some of

the services (as described below) to the Debtors. In providing such prepetition professional

services to the Debtors, Deloitte Tax has become familiar with the Debtors and their business,

including the Debtors’ financial affairs, debt structure, operations, and related matters. Having

worked with the Debtors’ management, Deloitte Tax has developed relevant experience and

knowledge regarding the Debtors that will assist it in providing effective and efficient services

during these Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, Deloitte Tax is both well-qualified and able to

provide the services for the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases in an efficient and timely manner.

Disinterestedness

6. Subject to the foregoing, to the best of my information, knowledge, and belief

based on reasonable inquiry: (a) neither I, Deloitte Tax, nor any partner, principal, or managing

director of Deloitte Tax that is anticipated to provide the services for which Deloitte Tax is to be

retained (the “Deloitte Tax Engagement Personnel”) holds any interest adverse to the Debtors

with respect to the matters on which Deloitte Tax is to be retained in these Chapter 11 Cases; and

(b) Deloitte Tax and the Deloitte Tax Engagement Personnel have no relationship to the Debtors,

their significant creditors, certain other parties-in-interest, or to the attorneys that are known to be

assisting the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases, except as stated herein or in any attachment

hereto.

7. In connection with Deloitte Tax’s retention by the Debtors in these Chapter 11

Cases, Deloitte Tax undertook a search to determine, and to disclose, whether it or its affiliates is

or has been employed by or has other relationships with the Debtors or their affiliates,

subsidiaries, directors, or officers, or any of the Debtors’ significant creditors, customers, equity

security holders, professionals, or other entities with significant relationships with the Debtors

3
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 5 of 20

(the “Potential Parties-in-Interest”), whose specific names were provided to Deloitte Tax by

the Debtors. To check upon and disclose possible relationships with significant Potential Parties-

in-Interest in these Chapter 11 Cases, Deloitte Tax researched its client databases and performed

reasonable due diligence to determine whether it or its affiliates had any relationships with the

Debtors or their affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, or officers, or any other significant Potential

Parties-in-Interest.

8. Deloitte Tax and/or its affiliates have relationships with thousands of clients,

some of which may be creditors of the Debtors or other Potential Parties-in-Interest.

Accordingly, Deloitte Tax and/or its affiliates have had, currently have and/or may have in the

future banking or other relationships with such parties, or provided, may currently provide,

and/or may provide in the future professional services in matters unrelated to these Chapter 11

Cases to certain of the Potential Parties-in-Interest. From time to time, Deloitte Tax and its

affiliates have provided or may currently provide services, and likely will continue to provide

services, to certain creditors of the Debtors and various other parties potentially adverse to the

Debtors in matters unrelated to these Chapter 11 Cases, except as set forth herein or in the

attachments hereto. Additionally, certain significant Potential Parties-in-Interest have or may

have provided goods or services, may currently provide goods or services, and/or may in the

future provide goods or services to Deloitte Tax and/or its affiliates and the Deloitte Tax

Engagement Personnel in matters unrelated to these Chapter 11 Cases. A listing of such parties

is attached to this Declaration as Schedule 1.

9. Despite the efforts described above to identify and disclose Deloitte Tax’s

connections with the significant Potential Parties-in-Interest in these Chapter 11 Cases, because

Deloitte Tax is a nationwide firm with thousands of personnel, and because the Debtors are a

4
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 6 of 20

large enterprise, Deloitte Tax is unable to state with certainty that every client relationship or

other connection has been disclosed. In this regard, if Deloitte Tax discovers additional material

information that it determines requires disclosure, it will file a supplemental disclosure promptly

with the Court.

10. To the best of my knowledge, based on the internal search discussed above,

Deloitte Tax has determined that certain relationships should be disclosed as follows:

a. Deloitte Tax and its affiliates provide services in matters unrelated to these
Chapter 11 Cases to certain of the Debtors’ largest unsecured and secured
creditors and other Potential Parties-in-Interest or their affiliates listed on
Schedule 1.

b. Law firms identified on Schedule 1, including Borden Ladner Gervais LLP;


Debevoise & Plimpton LLP; Dentons Canada LLP: Foley Hoag LLP;
Goodwin Procter LLP; Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP; Pepper Hamilton LLP;
Riemer & Braunstein LLP and Stikeman Elliott LLP, have provided, currently
provide and may in the future provide legal services to Deloitte Tax or its
affiliates in matters unrelated to these Chapter 11 Cases, and/or Deloitte Tax
or its affiliates have provided, currently provide and may in the future provide
services to such firms or their clients.

c. In the ordinary course of its business, Deloitte Tax and its affiliates have
business relationships in unrelated matters with its principal competitors,
which together with their affiliates may be Potential Parties-in-Interest in their
Chapter 11 Cases. For example, from time to time, Deloitte Tax and one or
more of such entities may work on assignments for the same client or may
otherwise engage each other for various purposes.

d. Certain financial institutions or their respective affiliates (including Aegon,


Inc.; American Express; Bank of America; Citibank; HSBC Bank Canada;
Lloyd’s Syndicate; National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.;
New York Life; Prudential Insurance Company of America and Wells Fargo)
listed on Schedule 1 (i) are lenders to an affiliate of Deloitte Tax (Deloitte
Tax is a guarantor of such indebtedness) and/or (ii) have financed a portion of
the capital and/or capital loan requirements of various partners and principals,
respectively, of Deloitte Tax and its affiliates.

e. Certain Potential Parties-in-Interest may be adverse to and/or involved in


litigation matters with Deloitte Tax or its affiliates in connection with matters
unrelated to these Chapter 11 Cases.

5
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 7 of 20

f. Certain firms around the world, including affiliates of Deloitte Tax, are
members of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (“DTTL”), a United
Kingdom company limited by guaranty. Certain of the non-US member firms
of DTTL or their affiliates (the “DTT Member Firms”) have provided,
currently provide or may in the future provide professional services to certain
of the non-debtor affiliates of the Debtors.2 In particular, the DTT Member
Firms located in the Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom have performed,
currently perform, or may in the future perform, tax services for certain of the
Debtors and/or their non-debtor affiliates.

g. Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”), an affiliate of Deloitte Tax,
has provided, currently provides, and will continue to provide audit services to
certain Potential Parties-in-Interest and/or their affiliates in matters unrelated
to these Chapter 11 Cases. In its capacity as independent auditor, Deloitte &
Touche also provides such clients with ordinary course auditing services and
conducts typical audit procedures that may arise from such Potential Parties-
in-Interests’ business arrangements with the Debtors.

h. Deloitte Consulting and certain of its affiliates, have provided, currently


provide, and will continue to provide services to the Executive Office of the
United States Trustee in matters unrelated to these cases.

11. Furthermore, through reasonable inquiry, I do not believe there is any connection

between the personnel of Deloitte Tax or its affiliates who are anticipated to provide services to

the Debtors and the United States Bankruptcy Judge presiding in these Chapter 11 Cases, the

U.S. Trustee for Region 3, the Assistant United States Trustee for the District of Delaware, and

the attorney therefor assigned to these Chapter 11 Cases.

12. Except as may be disclosed herein, to the best of my knowledge, information, and

belief, Deloitte Tax and the Deloitte Tax Engagement Personnel do not hold or represent any

interest adverse to the Debtors, and I believe that Deloitte Tax and the Deloitte Tax Engagement

Personnel are “disinterested persons” as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the

Bankruptcy Code, as modified by Section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

2
Each of the DTT Member firms is a separate and independent legal entity. It is not Deloitte Tax’s practice
to undertake conflicts checks with DTT Member Firms for the purpose of identifying relationships that they may
have with the Debtors and other parties-in-interest and Deloitte Tax does not maintain a database for the purpose of
identifying all such relationships.

Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 8 of 20

Scope of Services

13. As set forth more fully in the Engagement Letters, Deloitte Tax will provide

certain tax services for the Debtors in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the

Application and the Engagement Letters, and as requested by the Debtors and agreed to by

Deloitte Tax, as follows:

(a) Tax Preparation Services Engagement Letter: Deloitte Tax will


assist the Debtors in preparing the 2017 international, federal, state,
and local income tax returns, identified on Exhibit A to the Tax
Preparation Engagement Letter, and assist in calculating the
amount of extension payments and preparing the extension
requests for such federal, state, and local tax returns.

(b) Global Employer Tax Engagement Letter: Deloitte Tax will


assist personnel of the Debtors who have been assigned to foreign
locations with the preparation of their tax returns in the home and

(c) Tax Advisory Engagement Letter: Deloitte Tax will assist the
Debtors by providing services on federal, foreign, state, and local
tax matters on an as-requested basis, which may include, among
other things, assisting the Debtors with analysis of the tax impact

issued thereunder.

14. Subject to the Court’s approval of the Application, Deloitte Tax is willing to serve

as the Debtors’ tax services provider and to perform the services described above pursuant to the

terms of the Engagement Letters.

Professional Compensation

15. Deloitte Tax’s retention by the Debtors is conditioned upon its ability to be

retained in accordance with its terms and conditions of employment, including the proposed

compensation arrangements, set forth in the Engagement Letters.

7
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 9 of 20

16. Pursuant to the Tax Preparation Services Engagement Letter, Deloitte Tax will

bill the Debtors for tax return and extension request preparation services are outlined in Exhibit

A to the Tax Preparation Services Engagement Letter. Specifically, the fees for U.S. federal,

state and local tax returns are to be billed in the amount of $563,000, of which $295,575 was

invoiced prior to the Petition Date as an advance payment for services under such engagement

letter.

17. For services rendered pursuant to the Global Employer Tax Engagement Letter,

the fees will primarily be fixed fee pursuant to the fee schedule attached as Exhibit A thereto.

Certain other services under that engagement letter will be billed at the following hourly rates:

Professional Level Hourly Rates


Partner / Principal / Managing Director $650
Senior Manager $550
Manager $450
Senior $350
Consultant $250

18. For services rendered pursuant to the Tax Advisory Engagement Letter, Deloitte

Tax will bill the Debtors for tax consulting services based upon the amount of professional time

required at the following hourly rates:

Professional Level Hourly Rates


Partner / Principal / Managing Director $735
Senior Manager $657
Manager $553
Senior $462
Staff $371

19. In the event Deloitte Tax uses a DTT Member Firm as a subcontractor to perform

services under one or more of the Engagement Letters, Deloitte Tax will pay the applicable DTT

Member Firm a portion of the fees Deloitte Tax bills and receives from the Debtors for services

8
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 10 of 20

Deloitte Tax has subcontracted to such DTT Member Firm pursuant to the terms and conditions

of the applicable Engagement Letter(s).

20. In the normal course of business, Deloitte Tax revises its hourly rates to reflect

changes in responsibilities, increased experience, geographic differentials, and increased costs of

doing business. Changes in the foregoing rates will be noted on the statements for the first time

period in which the revised rates become effective.

21. In addition, reasonable expenses, including travel, report production, delivery

services, and other expenses incurred in providing Deloitte Tax’s services, will be included in the

total amount billed. The Engagement Letters also provide that Deloitte Tax is entitled to

administrative charges ranging from 4% to 5% of professional fees incurred under the applicable

Engagement Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Engagement Letters, with

respect to administrative and technology costs incurred, Deloitte Tax will only bill the Debtors

for actual expenses incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, Deloitte Tax shall seek compensation

and reimbursement of its actual and necessary fees and expenses incurred in connection with

performing the services contemplated in the Engagement Letters.

22. Deloitte Tax intends to apply to the Court for allowance of compensation and

reimbursement of expenses consistent with the terms of the Engagement Letters, the Application

and this Declaration, the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules,

the Bankruptcy Local Rules, the U.S. Trustee Guidelines, if applicable, and the orders of this

Court.

23. Deloitte Tax requests that it be permitted to submit monthly invoices for services

rendered and expenses incurred. Such invoices will contain reasonable detail consistent with any

rules, guidelines and/or administrative orders promulgated by the Court that apply to these

9
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 11 of 20

Chapter 11 Cases. Deloitte Tax requests that the invoices, after appropriate review, be paid in a

manner consistent with the payment of other retained professionals in this matter, consistent with

any administrative orders, if any, that would apply to interim payments. All payments rendered

pursuant to Deloitte Tax’s retention by the Debtors must be approved by an order of this Court

and based upon the filing by Deloitte Tax of appropriate interim and final applications for

allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

24. Deloitte Tax provided prepetition services to the Debtors. In the ninety (90) days

prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors paid Deloitte Tax approximately $322,000 for services

performed. As of the Petition Date, $301,000 was due under invoices issued by Deloitte Tax to

the Debtors prior to such date, including approximately $296,000 that was due under a

prepayment invoice for services to be performed under the Tax Preparation Services Engagement

Letter. This $296,000 invoice will be cancelled and fees for the post-petition services performed

under such engagement letter will be billed in accordance with the compensation protocols in

these Chapter 11 Cases. Subject to approval of the Application, Deloitte Tax agrees not to seek

any recovery against the Debtors will respect to the remaining $5,000 invoice. Accordingly,

subject to the Court’s approval of the Application, as of the Petition Date, the Debtors do not

owe Deloitte Tax any fees and/or expenses for prepetition services.

25. Some services incidental to the tasks to be performed by Deloitte Tax in these

Chapter 11 Cases may be performed by personnel now employed by or associated with these

affiliates of Deloitte Tax or their respective subsidiaries, including subsidiaries located outside

the United States. The fees and expenses with respect to such services by Deloitte Tax’s

affiliates will be included on the fee applications of Deloitte Tax.

10
RLF1 19493060v.2
Case 18-11145-LSS Doc 296-4 Filed 06/27/18 Page 12 of 20

26. In particular, Deloitte Tax may subcontract a portion of tax services performed

under one or more of the Engagement Letters to its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Deloitte

Tax India Private Limited (“Deloitte Tax India”). In such case, a specifically assigned team of

personnel from Deloitte Tax India assists in such services under the supervision, and with the

input, of personnel of Deloitte Tax. The connections of Deloitte Tax India (along with the

connections of Deloitte Tax and its other affiliates) to the parties in interest searched by Deloitte

Tax are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

27. Deloitte Tax has received no promises regarding compensation in these Chapter

11 Cases other than in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and as set forth in this Declaration.

Except as set forth above, Deloitte Tax has no agreement with any nonaffiliated or unrelated

entity to share any compensation paid by the Debtors.
