2 1. Waypoint Leasing Holdings Ltd. and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the Debtors ) in the abovecaptioned chapter 11 cases (collectively, the Chapter 11 Cases ), filed and served the Application of Debtors Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 327(a), Fed.

P and 2016, and Local Rules and for Authority to Retain and Employ Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as Attorneys for the Debtors Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date [ECF No. 162] (the Application ). 2. In accordance with the Case Management Order, the Debtors established a deadline (the Objection Deadline ) for parties to object or file responses to the Application. The Objection Deadline was set for January 3, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time). The Case Management Order provides that pleadings may be granted without a hearing, provided that no objections or other responsive pleadings have been filed on or prior to the relevant response deadline and the attorney for the entity who filed the pleading complies with the relevant procedural and notice requirements. 3. The Objection Deadline has now passed and, to the best of my knowledge, no responsive pleadings have been filed with the Court on the docket of these Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Case Management Order or served on counsel to the Debtors. The Debtors received informal comments to the proposed order from the Office of the United States Trustee and, in response thereto, made certain changes to the revised proposed order annexed hereto as Exhibit B. 4. Accordingly, the Debtors respectfully request that the proposed order granting the Application annexed hereto as Exhibit B be entered in accordance with the 2

3 procedures described in the Case Management Order. A redline of the proposed order marked against the order attached to the Application filed with the Court is annexed hereto as Exhibit C.
