4 Pg 4 of 13 OBJECTION SUMMARY 1 Responses to Limited Objections to Macquarie Sale No. 1. Bank of Utah, as WAC6 Administrative Agent [ECF No. 330] A. Allocation Methodology The WAC6 Administrative Agent states that it supports the Macquarie Sale but objects to the net book value methodology for funding the Winddown Account, the Fee Reserve Account, and for payment of sale transaction fees and other expenses. The objection asserts that such expenses should be allocated based on Macquarie s purchase price allocations. Reply and the Emergency Motion. 2. Ed Washecka [ECF No. 336] 3. SunTrust Bank, as WAC7 Administrative Agent [ECF No. 337] A. Waypoint Services Assets Mr. Washecka does not object to the Macquarie Sale, but states that to the extent any or all of Waypoint Leasing Services LLC s ( Waypoint Services ) assets are being sold to Macquarie, (i) the allocation of sale proceeds to such assets should be fair, transparent and disclosed, and (ii) such proceeds should be segregated and remain in trust for creditors of Waypoint Leasing Services LLC until a plan of reorganization or liquidation is filed or, in the alternative, until after the Debtors have filed their schedules and statements of financial affairs. A. Assumption /Holdback SunTrust states that it is supportive of the Macquarie Sale but has identified certain issues regarding the Supplemental Cure Notice and the Macquarie Sale Order, including with respect to the Holdback Amount. A. As set forth in the Supplemental Niemann Declaration, 2 Macquarie has not allocated any portion of its cash Base Purchase Price to the assets it is purchasing from Waypoint Services. The amount of Waypoint Services liabilities being assumed by Macquarie far exceeds the value of that entity s assets that Macquarie is purchasing. The assets of Waypoint Services being transferred to Macquarie as well as the liabilities of Waypoint Services being assumed by Macquarie are detailed in the Supplemental Niemann Declaration. A. With respect to issues regarding the Supplemental Cure Notice, the objection is resolved pursuant to an agreement with Macquarie, whereby Macquarie has agreed to pay certain cure costs, as set forth in a revised proposed Macquarie Sale Order. The 1 Capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Reply. 2 See Supplemental Declaration of Matthew R. Niemann in Support of Proposed Order (I) Approving Purchase Agreement Among Debtors and Macquarie, (II) Authorizing Sale of Certain of Debtors Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Encumbrances, and Other Interests, (III) Authorizing Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in Connection Therewith, and (IV) Granting Related Relief, filed contemporaneously herewith (the Supplemental Niemann Declaration ). 1

AWM also notes that the Debtors owe AWM $256,500 for a support contract, but that the proposed cure amount of $298, is incorrect because it includes an amount that a third-party, Capstone, is responsible for paying under the amendments to the contract. A. CHC states that it does not object to the assumption and assignment of the CHC leases, but does object to the proposed cure amount for one of the storage contracts. CHC also objects to the extent the Debtors fail to satisfy any amounts that become due and owing prior to assumption, and to the extent the Debtors seek to assume CHC leases without assuming all related agreements and contracts. A. NHV states that the Debtors have listed a lease that NHV is a party to that will be assumed, as well as six PBH side letters that will be rejected and that have a cure amount set at $0.00. NHV argues that the lease and at least one of the side letters are a single integrated agreement, so that the Debtors must choose to assume both the lease and the side letter together, and so NHV objects to the attempt to assume only the lease without the accompanying PBH side letter.
