330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101-1330 (the Bankruptcy Code), Rule 2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the Bankruptcy Rules), Rules 2016 -1 and 9014-1 of the Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the Local Rules), the Retention Order (as defined below), the United States Trustee Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed under 11 U.S.C. 330 (the Trustee Guidelines) and the Administrative Order Establishing Procedures for Monthly Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals and Official Committee Members [Docket No. 290] (the Interim Compensation Order). In support of this First Interim Fee Application, BHGL respectfully states as follows: Background 1. On May 17, 2005 (the Petition Date), the Debtors filed their voluntary petitions
for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their businesses and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these cases. On the Petition Date, the Court entered an order jointly administering these cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). 2. On May 24, 2005, the United States trustee appointed an official committee of
unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Committee). 3. The Debtors and their non-debtor affiliates are leading global suppliers of
automotive components, systems and modules to all of the worlds largest vehicle manufacturers, including DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, Honda Motor Company, Inc., Nissan Motor Company Unlimited, Porsche Cars GB, Renault Crateur DAutomobiles, Toyota SA and Volkswagen AG.
Retention of and Continuing Disinterestedness of Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione 4. Prior to the Interim Fee Period, BHGL was retained and paid as an ordinary
course professional pursuant to the order granting the application to employ and compensate certain professionals utilized in the ordinary course of the Debtors business [Docket No. 293]. 5. By this Courts order dated April 6, 2006, the Debtors were authorized to retain
BHGL as their special matters counsel, effective as of the Petition Date, with regard to the special counsel matters [Docket No. 2563] (the Retention Order). The Retention Order
authorizes the Debtors to compensate BHGL at BHGLs hourly rates charged for services of this type and to reimburse BHGL for BHGLs actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred, subject to application to this Court as set forth therein. The Retention Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6. As disclosed in the Affidavit of Steven L. Oberholtzer in Support of Application
for an Order Authorizing the Employment and Retention of Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione as Special Matter Attorneys for the Debtors filed on March 30, 2006 (as supplemented by supplemental affidavits, the Affidavits), BHGL does not hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtors estate, and is a disinterested person as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by Section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 7. BHGL performed the services for which it is seeking compensation on behalf of
or for the Debtors and their estates, and not on behalf of any committee, creditor or other entity. 8. BHGL has received no payment and no promises for payment from any source
other than the Debtors for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with the chapter 11 cases. 9. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2016(b), BHGL has not shared, nor has BHGL
agreed to share (a) any compensation it has received or may receive with another party or person
other than with the partners, counsel and associates of BHGL or (b) any compensation another person or party has received or may receive. Reasonable and Necessary Services Rendered by BHGL - Generally 10. During the Interim Fee Period, BHGL has advised and represented the Debtors in
connection with intellectual property matters of their businesses. The rates described above are BHGLs hourly rates for services of this type provided during the Interim Fee Period.

In accordance with the factors enumerated in Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the amount of fees requested is fair and reasonable given: (a) the complexity of the chapter 11 cases; (b) the time expended; (c) the nature and extent of the services rendered; (d) the value of such services; and (e) the costs of comparable services other than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. See, e.g., In re Moss, 320 B.R. 143, 156-57 (Bankr. E.D. Mich. 2005); In re Ray, 314 B.R. 643, 662-63 (Bankr. M.D. Tenn. 2004); In re Chary, 201 B.R. 783, 787-88 (Bankr. W.D. Tenn. 1996). 11.

Examples of such expenses are postage, overnight mail, courier delivery, computer assisted legal research, photocopying, out-going facsimile transmissions, airfare and lodging. 35. BHGL charges $0.21 per page for duplication. There is no charge for outgoing
facsimile transmissions other than long-distance charges associated with the outgoing transmission. BHGL does not charge its clients for incoming facsimile transmissions. Representations 36. This Interim Fee Application is BHGLs First Interim Fee application pursuant to
the Interim Compensation Order, covering the period from February 1, 2006 through April 30, 2006. Although every effort has been made to include all fees and expenses from the Interim Fee Period in this First Interim Fee Application, some fees and expenses might not be included due to delays caused by accounting and processing procedures. BHGL reserves the right to make further application to the Court for allowance of fees and expenses not included herein. As to fees and expenses incurred after April 30, 2006, BHGL will include such amounts in future monthly fee statements and interim fee applications. 37. The total time spent by BHGL during the period covered by this First Interim Fee
Application was 1,293.80 hours, including 1,192.50 attorney hours and 101.30 paraprofessional hours, which represents fees of $401,017.50. The average hourly rate for the services rendered is $309.95. The average hourly rate for time spent by attorneys is $324.44. BHGL has incurred out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $14,157.95 and requests reimbursement thereof. A summary of out-of-pocket expenses and an itemized list of each disbursement made are attached within Exhibit E. 38. In summary, by this First Interim Fee Application, BHGL requests allowance and
payment of any outstanding amounts of fees and expenses in the total amount of $415,175.45
consisting of: (a) $401,017.50 for the actual, reasonable and necessary professional services rendered by BHGL on behalf of the Debtors (representing 100% of fees for services rendered, including the 20% previously held back pursuant to the Interim Compensation Order); and (b) $14,157.95 for actual and necessary costs and expenses. Kirkland & Ellis LLP (K&E) has explained to the Office of the United States Trustee that it is requesting approval for payment of 100% of fees (including the 20% held back). The Office of the United States trustee had no objection and pointed K&E to certain cases where this procedure was followed. Moreover, as BHGL continues to represent the Debtors throughout these chapter 11 cases, there will continue to be certain earned fees for which BHGL has not been paid, including fees for which a Monthly Fee Statement has not been submitted and for the 20% holdback for those Monthly Fee Statements for which an Interim Fee Application has not been submitted or is still subject to objection. Accordingly, the estates will remain protected should the Court grant BHGLs request for payment of the holdback.

WHEREFORE, BHGL respectfully requests the entry of an order (a) allowing an administrative expense claim for BHGL compensation and reimbursement for its fees and expenses incurred during the Interim Fee Period, (b) authorizing and directing payment of such amounts and (c) granting such other and further relief as is just and proper.
