Background

Bankruptcy Code.

Summary of Services Rendered and Expenses Incurred
6. Applicant has rendered services from June 1,2010 through June 30, 2010
in the amount of26.90 hours.
7. Applicant maintains contemporaneous records of the time expended for the
professional services and expenses related thereto performed in connection with this Chapter 11
case and such records are maintained in the ordinary course of its business. These records
provide a detailed description ofthe services rendered and expenses incurred during the period
for which this Application is being made. A summary of Applicant's time records in the sum of
$7,694.00 is attached hereto as Exhibit B. This summary is broken down according to specific
task categories relating specifically to this Chapter 11 case. In some cases, Applicant found a
situation where the task of a professional may fit into two or more categories. In these cases,
Applicant has tried to categorize the time expended into the most appropriate category. If the
Court requires any further descriptions on these time entries, Applicant will provide additional
information.
8. Applicant believes that the post-petition services for the period June 1,
2010 through June 30, 2010 are reasonably worth the sum of $7,694.00 as set forth in the
summary identified as Exhibit B. Applicant notes that these costs are customary charges made to
other firm clients in the ordinary course of its billing practice. To assist the Court in its review of
the fees sought by Applicant, Applicant has separated its time entries in Exhibit B into the
following categories:
a. Case Administration (Total hours: 1.90, total fees $224.00) This category
includes time spent by Applicant attending to coordination and compliance activities in
-3
#10922474 vl6
connection with the performance ofits duties as Delaware counsel for the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.

time spent by Applicant updating hearing calendar.
d. Fees (Total hours: 9.20, total fees $1,789.00) This category includes time
spent by Applicant drafting andfiling certificate ofno objection re previous fee application,
drafting, filing and serving ofMay 2010 monthly fee application, 5
th

category includes time spent by Applicant drafting certificates ofno objection re previous
application ofco-counsel and efiling ofco-counsel's monthly fee application.

biography of each of the primary attorneys, along with a description of their areas of expertise, is
set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit C.
-4
#10922474 vl6
10. As outlined above, the attorneys who worked on this case from June 1,
2010 through June 30, 2010 have various levels of expertise. From time to time these attorneys
consulted with each other and other attorneys on different aspects of the case. It is submitted that
this is a more efficient way to run a case than to expect a single attorney to be an expert in all
applicable areas oflaw. If a single attorney were to attempt to run a case such as this, the
attorney would have to learn through research what other attorneys know and can tell him based
on their years of knowledge and experience.
11. Applicant requires reimbursement of costs expended June 1, 2010 through
June 30, 2010 in the sum of $485.13 as set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit D.

$371.71 in expenses, as determined by the fee schedule set forth in Applicant's supplemental
application (Docket No. 1480).
13. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the
