Case 12-13262-BLS Doc 2107 Filed 04/14/15 of 6

KiNkland &Ellis LLP as Special Counsel for the RestNucturing Committee (the "Motion").2 On

May 29, 2013, the Court entered an order granting the Motion and authorizing the employment

and retention of Kirkland [Docket No. 628] (the "Retention Order").

3. I submitted with the Motion a declaration of in support thereof

(the "Original Declaration"). On May 29, 2013, the Court entered an order granting the Motion

and authorizing the employment and retention of Kirkland [Docket No. 628]. On September 12,

2013, I submitted a supplemental declaration [Docket No. 1036] (the "First Supplemental

Declaration"); on October 30, 2013, I submitted a second supplemental declaration [Docket No.

1137] (the "Second Supplemental Declaration"); and on April 1, 2014, I submitted a third

supplemental declaration [Docket No. 1412] (the "Third Supplemental Declaration"), to provide

additional disclosures from those provided in the Original Declaration. In addition, on

June 2, 2014, I submitted a fourth supplemental declaration [Docket No. 1549]

(the "Fourth Supplemental Declaration") to provide additional disclosures as required under

Rules 2014(a) and 2016(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. On August 6, 2014, I

Declarations"), to provide additional disclosures as required under Rules 2014(a) and 2016(b) of

the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

4. I submit this Eighth Supplemental Declaration to provide additional disclosures

from those provided in the Prior Declarations and in support of the Motion. Except as otherwise

noted, I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein.

Additional Disclosures

5. As set forth in the Original Declaration, Kirkland and certain of its partners

and associates may have represented in the past, currently may represent, and may represent in

the future parties in interest in these chapter 11 cases in connection with matters unrelated

(except as otherwise disclosed) to the Debtors and these chapter 11 cases. Kirkland has searched

its electronic database of representations for connections to parties in interest in the chapter 11

cases. Certain connections were disclosed in the Prior Declarations.

6. Since the Petition Date, Kirkland has periodically updated its conflicts searches

and has searched additional parties as Kirkland has become aware of additional parties in interest

in these chapter 11 cases. Additionally, Kirkland has updated its conflicts searches with respect

to certain entities whose names had previously been the subject of a conflict search performed in

connection with the Prior Declarations.

7. Although not relevant in concluding that Kirkland is "disinterested," out of an

abundance of caution, I have included any new results of Kirkland's conflicts searches of the

entities searched in connection with the Prior Declarations on Schedule 1 attached hereto.3 All

As referenced in Schedule 1, a "current" client is a client to whom time was posted in the 12 months precedingthe Petition Date; a "former" client is a client to whom time was posted between 36 and 12 months precedingthe Petition Date; and a "closed" client is a client to whom time was posted in the 36 months preceding thePetition Date but for which the client representation has been closed. As a general matter, Kirkland disclosesconnections with former clients or closed clients for whom time was posted in the last 36 months but does notdisclose connections if time was billed more than 36 months before the Petition Date.

3

KF 35720758


current representations of the parties identified on Schedule 1 are in matters unrelated to the

Debtors and these chapter 11 cases. Additionally, the information included on Schedule 1 may

have changed without Kirkland's knowledge and may change during the pendency of these

chapter 11 cases. Accordingly, Kirkland will update its disclosures as necessary and when

Kirkland becomes aware of material information.

No Conflicts of Othei• Disqualifying Circumstances

8. Based on the conflicts searches conducted to date and described in this Eighth

Supplemental Declaration, as well as in the Prior Declarations, to the best of my knowledge and

insofar as I have been able to ascertain, neither Kirkland nor any of its partners or associates has

any connection with the Debtors or any party in interest in the chapter 11 cases except as

disclosed or otherwise described in the Prior Declarations and this Eighth Supplemental

Declaration.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true

and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Dated: April 14, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
