In support of this Fee Application, Fried Frank respectfully states as follows:

A copy of the Independent Committee Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. During the Fee Period, a number of important issues required the attention of

Fried Frank. Fried Frank devoted a significant amount of professional effort to (a) reviewing and drafting resolutions adopted by the Board at a Board meeting on October 19, 2010 (the Board Resolutions) establishing the Independent Committee; (b) reviewing, drafting, and communicating with the Independent Committee and the Debtors with respect to the plan process protocol (the Plan Process Protocol), which was developed by the Debtors and the Independent Committee, and presented to the Court, as a guideline for the Debtors restructuring efforts; (c) reviewing and evaluating information about the Debtors restructuring alternatives and communicating with the Independent Committee regarding these alternatives; (d) reviewing and evaluating stalking horse proposals received by the Debtors and communicating with the Debtors and the Independent Committee regarding these alternatives; (e) preparing for and attending Independent Committee meetings; (f) preparing for and attending Board meetings; (g) drafting the Independent Committee Motion; (h) preparing for and attending hearings and status conferences in the Chapter 11 Cases; and (i) communicating with creditors and interest holders of the Debtors. 2. The Interim Compensation Order provides that at four-month intervals or such

other intervals that the Court deems appropriate, each of the professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Cases shall serve and file with the Court an application for interim Court approval and allowance of the compensation and reimbursement of expenses sought by such professional in its monthly applications, including any holdbacks, filed during the interim fee period, pursuant to section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Independent Committee Order provides that Fried Frank shall apply for compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Independent Committee in compliance with the applicable provisions 3

of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the guidelines established by the U.S. Trustee, and any other applicable procedures and orders of the Court made applicable to professionals retained in accordance with section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code, including the Interim Compensation Order and such amounts shall be administrative expenses under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code to the same extent as professionals retained in accordance with section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with the Independent Committee Order and the Interim Compensation Order, Fried Frank submits this Fee Application. BACKGROUND 3. On July 19, 2010 (the Petition Date), each of the Debtors filed a petition with

the Court under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code commencing these Chapter 11 Cases. The Chapter 11 Cases have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). The Debtors are operating their business and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 4. On July 28, 2010, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York

(the U.S. Trustee) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the Creditors Committee). 5. On September 10, 2010, Fried Frank was retained by members of the Independent

Committee to advise, assist, and represent the Independent Committee and its members in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. 6. 7. On November 9, 2010, the Court entered the Independent Committee Order. Pursuant to the Independent Committee Order, the Debtors were authorized to

satisfy, pay, and reimburse on behalf of the Independent Committee all reasonable charges for professional services rendered and disbursements incurred by Fried Frank as counsel 4

representing and advising the Independent Committee in connection with the Independent Committee (i) reviewing and evaluating information concerning the Debtors restructuring alternatives, (ii) conducting a preliminary analysis of all indications of interest or proposals received relating to a chapter 11 plan or other restructuring alternative, (iii) making a recommendation with respect thereto to the Board, and (iv) addressing any conflicts of interest appropriately. 8. Pursuant to the Independent Committee Order and the Interim Compensation

Order, Fried Frank filed monthly applications for compensation for services and reimbursement of expenses as attorneys for the Independent Committee on November 24, 2010 (the First Monthly Application) and December 23, 2010 (the Second Monthly Application). [Dkt. Nos. 732 & 778, respectively]. The First Monthly Application requested payment of compensation in the amount of $194,607.20 (80% of $243,259.00) on account of actual and necessary professional services rendered to the Independent Committee by Fried Frank and reimbursement of actual and necessary costs and expenses in the amount of $3,458.29. The Second Monthly Application requested payment of compensation in the amount of $68,164.80 (80% of $85,206.00) on account of actual and necessary professional services rendered to the Independent Committee by Fried Frank and reimbursement of actual and necessary costs and expenses in the amount of $3,182.31. 9. On December 20, 2010, Midland Loan Services, Inc. (Midland) filed Midland's

Reservation Of Rights With Respect To The Monthly Application of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP for Compensation for Services and Reimbursement of Expenses as Attorneys for the Independent Committee for the Period from September 10, 2010 through October 31, 2010 (the Reservation of Rights) [Dkt. No. 774]. In the Reservation of Rights,

Midland did not object to the payment of Fried Franks fees and expenses requested in the First Monthly Application. Midland stated the holdback appears to be adequate to address issues that might arise in an objection to a future interim or final fee application to be submitted under 11 U.S.C. 330 or 331. No objections were received to the First Monthly Application. The objection deadline for the Second Monthly Application is January 20, 2010. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 10. This Court has jurisdiction over the Fee Application pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1409. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE ORDERS AND GUIDELINES 11. This Fee Application has been prepared in compliance with the Interim

Compensation Order, the Independent Committee Order, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Amended Guidelines, and the UST Guidelines. Pursuant to the Amended Guidelines, a certification regarding compliance is attached hereto as Exhibit B. SUMMARY OF APPLICATION 12.

FRIED FRANKS FEES AND EXPENSES ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE 25. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code,

Fried Frank believes that the total fees and expenses for the Fee Period are fair and reasonable in view of the time spent, the complexity and intricacy of the proceedings, and the problems and issues encountered. Fried Frank and the Independent Committee have continued to work diligently through the Fee Period to become fully versed with respect to the key issues in the Chapter 11 Cases as expeditiously and as effectively as possible. Notably, Fried Frank has avoided duplication of efforts and has spent its time economically and efficiently in these Chapter 11 Cases. Therefore, in accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Fried Frank believes that the compensation sought herein should be approved. APPLICABLE AUTHORITY 26. In awarding compensation pursuant to section 328 of the Bankruptcy

Code, this Court must take into account the reasonableness of the terms and conditions of employment. Section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides: (a) The trustee, or a committee appointed under section 1102 of this title, with the courts approval, may employ or authorize the employment of a professional person under section 327 or 1103 of this title, as the case may be, on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis. Notwithstanding such terms and conditions, the court may allow compensation different from the compensation provided under such terms and conditions after the conclusion of such employment, if such terms and conditions prove to have been improvident in light of developments not capable of being anticipated at the time of the fixing of such terms and conditions. 11 U.S.C. 328(a).

11

27.

In awarding compensation to professionals pursuant to section 330 of the

Bankruptcy Code, this court must take into account the cost of comparable non-bankruptcy services, among other factors. Section 330(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides in pertinent part: (a) (1) . . . [T]he court may award to a trustee, . . . an examiner, . . . or a professional person employed under section 327 or 1103 (A) reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered by the trustee, examiner, ombudsman, professional person, or attorney and by any paraprofessional person employed by any such person; and (B) reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses. .... (3) In determining the amount of reasonable compensation to be awarded to an examiner, trustee under chapter 11, or professional person, the court shall consider the nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into account all relevant factors, including (A) the time spent on such services; (B) the rates charged for such services; (C) whether the services were necessary to the administration of, or beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered toward the completion of, a case under this title; (D) whether the services were performed within a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed; (E) with respect to a professional person, whether the person is board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and experience in the bankruptcy field; and (F) whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under this title. 11 U.S.C. 330(a).

12

28.

In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code,

Fried Frank respectfully submits that the fees and expenses incurred in the course of rendering professional services are actual, necessary and reasonable, based upon the nature, extent and value of such services, the time spent thereon, and the costs of comparable services in nonbankruptcy cases, so as to best serve the needs of the Independent Committee and the Debtors estates. Fried Frank submits further that the legal services performed herein among partners, associates, and paraprofessionals have been executed in accordance with the principles outlined above, and moreover, in a manner consistent with the overall goal of Fried Frank to provide the highest quality of legal representation at a reasonable cost. Fried Frank has demonstrated by this Fee Application that the work it has done on behalf of the Independent Committee was necessary, reasonable and benefits the Debtors estates. 29. This Fee Application clearly reflects (a) the number of hours of recorded time

Fried Frank has devoted to the performance of legal services; (b) the number of hours worked by each of Fried Franks professionals and paraprofessionals and the hourly rate customarily charged by such persons; (c) a detailed description of the services provided by Fried Franks professionals and paraprofessionals during each of those hours; and (d) the quality and nature of the services provided by each of Fried Franks professionals and paraprofessionals. Fried Frank submits that its fees and expenses were actual, necessary, reasonable, justified and therefore, should be allowed in full. COMPENSATION REQUESTED 30. During the Fee Period, 435.40 recorded hours were expended by Fried Franks

partners, counsel, associates and paraprofessionals in the rendition of Fried Franks professional services.

13

31.

Fried Frank believes that its services were rendered in a highly efficient manner,

by attorneys with high levels of skill in the areas for which they rendered services. The core group of attorneys working on this matter has expended considerable time in connection with the Independent Committees general legal needs and in furtherance of the Independent Committees goal of advancing the interests of the Debtors. This experienced group of attorneys makes every effort to ensure that the Chapter 11 Cases progress in as efficient and expeditious a manner as possible and result in the successful reorganization of the Debtors. 32. For all the foregoing reasons, Fried Frank respectfully requests approval and

allowance of its compensation in the amount of $328,465.00, with an authorization for, and direction to, the Debtors to disburse such amounts to Fried Frank (to the extent not previously disbursed). This Fee Application is Fried Franks first interim fee application for allowance of fees and disbursements incurred by Fried Frank as counsel to the Independent Committee. An allowance of compensation in the amount sought in this Fee Application would result in a blended aggregate average billing rate of approximately $754.40 per hour and a blended rate (excluding paraprofessionals) of approximately $757.40 per hour (based on recorded hours). EXPENSES 33. As noted above, Fried Frank incurred and posted disbursements in the amount of

$6,640.60 for actual and necessary expenses incurred and recorded during the Fee Period. These disbursements are itemized in Exhibit D. 34. Fried Franks billing rates do not include components for duplicating, word

processing and other extraordinary charges that may be incurred by particular clients because of the exigencies of time and volume of demand. Fried Franks billing method, whereby only the clients who use copying, word processing and other office services are charged for such services, maximizes fairness to all clients. Fried Frank commenced a review to determine its actual costs 14

per page for duplicating. Such review determined that, at the present time, Fried Franks actual duplicating costs are $0.12 per page. 35. Fried Franks billing rates do not include a component for word processing as part

of overhead. Some time ago, Fried Frank analyzed its method of charging clients for word processing services and, specifically whether it was appropriate to charge clients for word processing as part of overhead or based on the extent to which word processing was used. After such analysis, Fried Frank elected to keep its charges for word processing as a disbursement. Fried Frank concluded that it was fairer to its clients not to increase its billing rates to account for word processing services that might or might not be used by the client. In this way, only clients who used such services would be charged for services. 36. Fried Franks attorneys and other employees who worked late into the evenings

were reimbursed for their reasonable meal costs and their transportation costs home. Such transportation costs are necessary expenses because it is a Fried Frank policy to ensure safe transportation for its attorneys and staff after the hours when public transportation cannot be deemed safe. Fried Franks regular practice is to charge its clients for these and other out-ofpocket disbursements incurred during the regular course of the rendition of services. 37. Fried Frank made every effort to minimize its disbursements in providing its legal

services to the Independent Committee. The expenses incurred in the rendition of professional services were necessary, reasonable and justified under the circumstances to serve the needs of the Independent Committee and were billed at rates and in accordance with practices customarily employed by Fried Frank and generally accepted by Fried Franks clients. NOTICE 38. Fried Frank has provided notice of this Fee Application to: (a) the Debtors and

counsel to the Debtors; (b) the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of 15

New York; (c) counsel to the Creditors Committee; (d) counsel to Midland Loan Services, Inc.; and (e) counsel to Certain Prepetition Lenders (each as defined in the Interim Compensation Order). In light of the nature of the relief requested, Fried Frank respectfully submits that no further notice is necessary. CONCLUSION 39. Although every effort has been made to include all Fees and Expenses incurred in

the Fee Period in this Fee Application, some Fees and Expenses might not be included in this Fee Application due to delays caused by accounting processing procedures. Fried Frank reserves the right to make further application to this Court for allowance of such Fees and Expenses not included herein. Subsequent fee applications will be filed in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Interim Compensation Order and the Independent Committee Order. 40. For the reasons set forth above, Fried Frank respectfully submits that the

professional services rendered and disbursements incurred and posted on behalf of the Independent Committee were of substantial benefit to the Independent Committee, the Debtors, equity holders and creditors. Fried Frank submits further that it provided such services in an economical and efficient manner. Accordingly, Fried Frank respectfully requests that the relief requested in this Fee Application be granted in full.

Chapter 11 Case No. 10-13800 (SCC) Jointly Administered

CERTIFICATION OF RESPONSIBLE PROFESSIONAL WITH RESPECT TO FIRST INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF FRIED, FRANK, HARRIS, SHRIVER & JACOBSON LLP FOR COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES AS ATTORNEYS FOR THE INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE FOR THE PERIOD FROM JULY 19, 2010 THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2010

Pursuant to the Amended Guidelines for Fees and Disbursements for Professionals in Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Cases, adopted by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on November 25, 2009 (the Amended Guidelines) and the United States Trustee Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11 U.S.C. 330 (the UST Guidelines), the undersigned, a member of the firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson

The list of Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases along with the last four digits of each Debtors federal tax identification number can be found by visiting the Debtors restructuring website at www.omnimgt.com/innkeepers or by contacting Omni Management Group, LLC at Innkeepers USA Trust c/o Omni Management Group, LLC, 16161 Ventura Boulevard, Suite C, PMB 606, Encino, California 91436. The location of the Debtors corporate headquarters and the service address for their affiliates is: c/o Innkeepers USA, 340 Royal Poinciana Way, Suite 306, Palm Beach, Florida 33480.

LLP (Fried Frank), counsel for the committee of independent trustees (the Independent Committee) of the Board of Trustees of Innkeepers USA Trust in the above-captioned cases (the Chapter 11 Cases) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, as the professional designated by Fried Frank with responsibility for compliance with the Amended Guidelines, hereby states, with respect to Fried Franks first interim fee application (the Fee Application) for (a) payment of compensation in the amount of $328,465.00 for the reasonable and necessary legal services rendered by Fried Frank on behalf of the Independent Committee during the period from July 19, 2010 through November 30, 2010 (the Fee Period), and (b) reimbursement in the amount of $6,640.60 for the actual and necessary expenses incurred and posted during the Fee Period,2 as follows: 1. In accordance with section A.1. of the Amended Guidelines, I certify that A. B. I have read the Fee Application; to the best of my knowledge, information and belief (formed after reasonable inquiry), the fees and disbursements sought by Fried Frank fall within the Amended Guidelines and the UST Guidelines and, except as may be specifically noted in this certification the fees and disbursements sought by Fried Frank are billed at rates and in accordance with practices customarily employed by Fried Frank and generally accepted by Fried Franks clients; and in providing a reimbursable service, Fried Frank does not make a profit on that service, whether the service is performed by Fried Frank in-house or through a third party.

In accordance with Section A.2 of the Amended Guidelines, I certify that Fried

Frank has provided monthly statements of Fried Franks fees and disbursements by serving monthly statements in compliance with this Courts Order Authorizing the Establishment of Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals and
2

Fried Frank reserves the right to make further application to this Court for allowance of fees and expenses not included in any prior fee statement or interim fee application as a result of delays caused by accounting processing procedures.

Official Committee Members, dated August 12, 2010 [Dkt. No. 189] (the Interim Compensation Order) and the order of the Court dated November 9, 2010 [Dkt. No. 701] approving the Debtors Motion for the Entry of an Order Pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (i) Approving the Debtors Undertaking to Compensate Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP as Counsel to the Independent Committee of the Board of Trustees of Innkeepers USA Trust and Authorizing the Payment of Such Compensation by the Debtors and (ii) Authorizing the Debtors to Compensate the Members of the Independent Committee [Dkt. No. 587]. 3. In accordance with Section A.3 of the Amended Guidelines, I certify that notice

of the Fee Application has been provided to: (a) the Debtors; (b) the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York; (c) counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors; (d) counsel to Midland Loan Services, Inc.; and (e) counsel to Certain Prepetition Lenders (each as defined in the Interim Compensation Order) so that each will have at least 14 days to review the Fee Application prior to the objection deadline with respect thereto. 4. Pursuant to the Amended Guidelines, Fried Frank does not charge for daytime

meals unless the individual is participating, during the meal, in a necessary meeting regarding the Chapter 11 Cases. Fried Frank expense reporting forms and computer categories do not put into separate categories meals that were chargeable because the Fried Frank professional was working overtime, on the one hand, or because the meal was consumed at a working meeting, on the other. While technically it would be possible to manually review every expense reporting form for every professional who had worked on the case during the Fee Period to ascertain the place, type of meal, and participants at each meal for which reimbursement is sought, this would be an extremely burdensome and expensive undertaking. Thus, Fried Frank cannot practicably

segregate the expense incurred with respect to overtime meals and meals consumed at a working meeting. 5. Consistent with the Amended Guidelines, Fried Frank has made every effort to

minimize its use of local transportation and relies on mass transit whenever possible. Fried Frank expense reporting forms and computer categories do not separately categorize expenses for radio car or taxi rides that were chargeable because the Fried Frank professional was working overtime, on the one hand, or because the professional was going to or coming from a meeting, on the other. While it would be technically possible (although very expensive) to manually review all of the radio car vouchers to ascertain the time, origin, and destination of the trip, even this would be especially impracticable with respect to trips in taxicabs for which the fare was paid in cash. Thus, Fried Frank cannot practicably segregate the expense incurred with respect to transportation after working overtime and with respect to local transportation. For this reason, all chargeable transportation expenses have been placed in the same category.
