LIMITED OBJECTION OF MIDLAND LOAN SERVICES, INC. TO THE MONTHLY APPLICATION OF KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP FOR COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES AS ATTORNEYS FOR THE DEBTORS AND DEBTORS IN POSSESSION FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 1, 2010 THROUGH AUGUST 31, 2010 Midland Loan Services, Inc. (Midland)1 hereby files this Limited Objection of Midland Loan Services, Inc. to the Monthly Application of Kirkland & Ellis LLP for Compensation for Services and Reimbursement of Expenses as Attorneys for the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period from August 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010 (the Limited Objection), and in support thereof, respectfully represents as follows:
1

Midland is the special servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 13, 2007 (the Special Servicing Agreement) for that certain secured loan in the amount of not less than $825,402,542 plus interest, costs and fees (the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan) owed by certain of the above captioned Debtors. The Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan is secured by cross-collateralized and crossdefaulted first priority mortgages, liens and security interests on forty-five (45) hotel properties and their contents and assets related thereto (collectively, the Midland Properties) and the other collateral, including all cash collateral as such term has meaning under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, generated by the Midland Debtors hotel and business operations with respect to the Midland Properties (the Midland Cash Collateral), as set forth in the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Preliminary Statement2 1. The Fee Application cannot be approved as filed. While Midland appreciates that

Kirkland deferred its request for compensation related to the Plan Support Agreement dispute (by deferring a request for payment of items in the Plan and Disclosure Statement matter number), its deferral is inadequate and should be substantially greater. As will be demonstrated below, fees and expenses related to the Plan Support Agreement litigation were posted into matter numbers other than Plan and Disclosure Statement and should not be paid where they were posted.3 2. Also, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Debtors dispute with

Marriott International, Inc. (Marriott) regarding the Troy Central location (and generally included within number 15 Franchise Issues) were not reasonable and in any event, should not be charged against Midlands Cash Collateral. That dispute solely involved the Floating Rate Pool and was apparently supported by the Floating Rate lender Lehman ALI, Inc. (Lehman). Any fees and expenses that may be allowed in connection with that litigation should be borne by Lehmans cash collateral, without any allocation against Midlands Cash Collateral. Background 3. On August 12, 2010, the Court entered its Order Authorizing the Retention and

Employment of Kirkland & Ellis LLP as Attorneys for the Debtor and Debtors in Possession Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date (the Retention Order). Pursuant to the terms of the Retention Order, Kirkland & Ellis LLPs (Kirkland) retention was effective as of July 19, 2010.

Capitalized terms otherwise undefined in this Preliminary Statement have the meanings ascribed

below.

Alternatively, the amounts charged to the other matters are unreasonably large by at least 50%.

On August 31, 2010, the Court entered its Order Authorizing the Establishment of

Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals and Official Committee Members (the Fee Procedures Order). Pursuant to the Fee Procedures Order, Notice Parties, as defined in the Fee Procedures Order, must file objections to monthly applications for compensation within twenty (20) days after service of the monthly application for compensation.4 The Fee Procedures Order provides further that nothing in this Order shall affect in any way any special servicers right to object to the use of its cash collateral to fund all or part of the fees and expenses of professionals compensated from the Debtors bankruptcy estates in monthly, interim, or final fee requests nor rule on the appropriateness of such cash collateral use or any entities rights with respect thereto. Fee Procedures Order at p. 7, 10. 5. On October 13, 2010, Kirkland filed its Monthly Application of Kirkland & Ellis

LLP for Compensation for Services and Reimbursement of Expenses as Attorneys for the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period From August 1, 2010 Through August 31, 2010 (the Fee Application). The Fee Application indicated that during August 2010, Kirkland incurred fees of $2,851,240.50 and expenses of $153,021.48 for a total of $3,004,261.98. Kirkland deferred without explanation requesting payment of fees of $700,577.50 and $4,725.54 in expenses for a total of $705,303.04. Kirkland requested the payment of

$1,720,530.40 in fees and $148,295.94 in expenses, and corresponding payment of eighty percent (80%) of the fees and one hundred percent (100%) of the expenses. Pursuant to the Fee Procedures Order, objections to the Fee Application must be filed by November 5, 2010. 6. The use of Midlands Cash Collateral is governed by the Final Order Authorizing

the Debtors to (i) Use the Adequate Protection Parties Cash Collateral and (ii) Provide Adequate

Midland is a Notice Party under the Fee Procedures Order.

1905614_4.DOC

Protection to the Adequate Protection Parties Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 361, 362, and 363 dated September 2, 2010 [Docket Entry #402] (as amended) (the Final Cash Collateral Order). Objection A. Midland Objects to Payment of Plan Support Agreement Litigation Costs, including Fees and Expenses in Categories other than Plan and Disclosure Statement 7. Midland objects to the payment of any fees and expenses related to the Plan

Support Agreement litigation as unreasonable and not allowable. The Debtors caused parties to incur millions of dollars of litigation expense in their ultimately futile effort to obtain the assumption of the Plan Support Agreement. No compensation should be allowed for those efforts especially since the fees would be funded from lenders cash collateral. 8. Some of the fees and expenses related to the Plan Support Agreement litigation

are noted in the Plan and Disclosure Statement matter number (which Kirkland indicates are being deferred). However, a significant amount of fees and expenses related to that litigation may also be found in other matter numbers. These may have been placed in the other matter numbers either by mistake or perhaps to reduce the fees billed to the Plan and Disclosure Statement matter number. 9. As will be more fully outlined below, there are a substantial number of entries

where the allocation of time for any given day either skews toward other matters or was allocated away from Plan and Disclosure Statement in favor of matters that were substantially less controversial. Whether that time is determined to be related to the Plan Support Agreement or simply well in excess of the reasonable amount of fees for their assigned matters, at least 50% of fees for the highlighted items should be denied and the amounts adjusted accordingly. 10. By way of example, the Cash Collateral and Debtor in Possession financing issues

presented in these cases were substantially less contentious than the Plan Support Agreement and should have resulted in substantially lower charges. Instead, the fees and expenses charged for
1905614_4.DOC 4

those are comparable to the fees and expenses charged for Plan and Disclosure Statement as noted below:
Matter Number Matter Description Total Billed Hours Total Fees Requested Total Expenses Requested Total Compensation

12 7 11

Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization Issues Cash Collateral DIP and Exit Financing Issues

1,373.40 718.30 1,007.80

$700,577.50 $421,067.00 $551,474.50

$4,725.54 $1,818.48 $36,803.33

$705,303.04 $422,885.48 $588,277.83

A more appropriate allocation of time and charges indicates that additional amounts should be included in the Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization Issues matter and both deferred and disallowed. B. Payment of Fees and Expenses in Connection with Litigation with Marriott Regarding Troy Central Location Should not be Funded from Midlands Cash Collateral 11. Midland further objects to the use of Midlands Cash Collateral for payment of

any fees incurred by the Kirkland in connection with the Marriott Dispute (as defined below). Additionally, and in the alternative, Midland objects to the use of Midlands Cash Collateral for payment of any fees incurred by Kirkland in connection with the Marriott Dispute on the basis that the fees are unreasonable. 12. On August 26, 2010, the Court entered the Stipulation Between Innkeepers USA

Trust and Marriott International, Inc. and Order Approving Settlement of Marriotts Motion for Limited Modification of the Automatic Stay and Debtors Motion to Assume the Troy Central Franchising Agreement (the Marriott Stipulation) resolving certain disputes between the Debtors and Marriott International, Inc. (the Marriott Dispute) in which the Debtors agreed to pay the reasonable expenses, attorneys fees and costs incurred by Marriott (the Marriott Fees). The Marriott Stipulation expressly provides that the Debtors payment of the Marriott Fees shall

1905614_4.DOC

be paid out of Lehman ALI Inc.s cash collateral.

Marriott Stipulation, at 3, 6.

Accordingly, Midlands Cash Collateral was not the source of payment for the Marriott Fees. C. In the Alternative, Midland Objects to Payment of the Marriott Fees with the Cash Collateral Because the Fees are not Reasonable 13. Section 330(a)(1) of title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code)

permits the Court to award reasonable compensation to an applicant based on the actual and necessary services provided by the applicant and to reimburse the applicant for the actual and necessary expenses incurred by the applicant. See 11 U.S.C 330(a)(1). When determining the reasonableness of fees under section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, courts look to whether the services provided are reasonably likely to benefit the debtors estate. In re Angelika Films 57th Inc., 227 B.R. 29, 42 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1998); see also Stalnaker v. DLC, Ltd. and DLC Family Trust, Ltd. (In re DLC, Ltd.), 295 B.R. 593, 608-09 (B.A.P. 8th Cir. 2003) (fees may be awarded for services that are reasonably likely to benefit the debtors estate and beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered). 14. situations. Section 330(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code prohibits compensation in certain See 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(4). Section 330(a)(4) prohibits compensation for (i)

unnecessary duplication of services; and (ii) services that were not reasonably likely to benefit the debtors estate or necessary to the administration of the case. 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(4). To the extent a request for compensation is not per se prohibited under section 330(a)(4), section 330(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code provides six (6) non-exclusive factors for the courts consideration in evaluating requests for compensation. 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(3). These factors include: (i) the time spent on such services; (ii) the rates charged for such services; (iii) 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; (iv) whether the services were performed within a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance,
1905614_4.DOC 6

and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed; (v) with respect to a professional person, whether the person is board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and experience in the bankruptcy field; and (vi) 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)(3). 15. Further, the fee applicant bears the burden of proof on his claim for

compensation. Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital v. High River Ltd. P'ship, 369 B.R. 111, 115 (S.D.N.Y. 2007); see also Gardere & Wynn v. Turoff ( In re Hunt), 196 B.R. 356, 359 (N.D. Tex. 1996); In re Gillett Holdings, Inc., 137 B.R. 462, 471 (Bankr. D. Colo. 1992). Accordingly, an application for compensation and reimbursement of expenses must demonstrate that the professionals services were necessary and made a beneficial contribution to the estate or its creditors. In re Engel, 124 F.3d 567, 573 (3d Cir. 1997). 16. The ultimate outcome of the dispute with Marriott demonstrates that the litigation In essence, Marriott received everything it requested

should never have been initiated.

including the payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars of its legal fees and the termination of the franchise agreement upon that location. Just as it was not charged with the Marriott fees and expenses, Midlands Cash Collateral should not be used to fund the Debtors litigation folly. 17. As noted in Kirklands request, approximately $360,000 was charged in one

month for that litigation. It is not compensable and should not be funded from Midlands Cash Collateral. D. Certain Fees Related to Plan Support Agreement Litigation are Categorized Improperly and Should be Denied 18. Attached hereto is a table that lists specific entries by professional for certain

dates by matter number. The Application, as prepared, might lead one to conclude that the cash collateral, debtor in possession financing and generic hearings category each represented
1905614_4.DOC 7

significant matters in August. Those who participated in the litigation in August know (and the Court could easily see) that the main event was the litigation over the Plan Support Agreement. 19. At least 50% of the fees reflected in the highlighted entries should be categorized

correctly into the Plan and Disclosure Statement matter and denied.5 It is difficult to understand items such as (a) the senior partner on these cases charging time to the relatively lightly contested DIP Financing and Cash Collateral Matters on may days where no time was charged to the heavily litigated and outcome determinative Plan Support Agreement; (b) the litigation partner equally dividing his time between Cash Collateral and Plan Support Agreement matters for many dates; and (c) litigation attorneys (Bryan & King) charging their time to Cash Collateral and other matters with none charged to the Plan Support Agreement litigation as that dispute became white hot at the end of August. 20. Whether the highlighted entries were placed in those matters by mistake need not

be determined at this time. At least 50% of the fees reflected in the highlighted entries should either be included among the time related to the Plan Support Agreement litigation and denied therein or denied in the matters where they are posted. The total amount of fees reflected by the highlighted entries is $182,499.00 and the amount in issue in this portion of this Limited Objection is $91,249.50. Reservation of Rights 21. Midland reserves its right to submit additional objections to the compensation

requested by Kirkland when Kirkland submits interim and final fee applications. The failure to raise additional objections at this time is not a wavier of any additional objections thereto. Local Rule 9013-1(a)

Alternatively, the amounts charged to the other matters are unreasonably large by at least 50%.

This pleading includes citations to the applicable rules and statutory authorities

upon which relief requested herein is predicated and a discussion of their application to this pleading. Accordingly, Midland submits that this pleading satisfies Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1(a). WHEREFORE, Midland respectfully requests that the Court enter an order (i) sustaining this Limited Objection; (ii) substantially reducing the compensation requested under the Fee Application; and (iii) granting Midland such other and further relief as is equitable and just.
