The Court has jurisdiction over this matter 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. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and the Debtors confirm their consent, pursuant to Local Rule 9013-1(f), to the entry of a final order or judgment by the Court in connection with this Application if it is determined that the Court, absent consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments in connection herewith consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution. 4. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 5. The statutory and other bases for the relief requested in this Application are section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Rules 2014-1 and 2016-2.

A&M’S QUALIFICATIONS 9. In consideration of the size and complexity of their organization, as well as the exigencies of the circumstances, the Debtors have determined that the services of experienced financial advisors will substantially enhance their attempts to maximize the value of their estates. A&M is well qualified to provide these services in light of their extensive knowledge and expertise with respect to chapter 11 proceedings. 10. A&M specializes in interim management, crisis management, turnaround consulting, operational due diligence, creditor advisory services, and financial and operational restructuring. A&M also has a large public sector practice that specializes in advising non-profit and public sector organizations on performance improvement and financial and operational restructuring. A&M’s debtor advisory services have included a wide range of activities targeted at stabilizing and improving a company’s financial position, including developing or validating forecasts, business plans and related assessments of a business’s strategic position; monitoring and managing cash, cash flow and supplier relationships; assessing and recommending cost reduction strategies; and designing and negotiating financial restructuring packages.
