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 of the 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 $16,609.50 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 July 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009 are reasonably worth the sum of$16,609.50 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.

The attorneys who primarily worked on this case occasionally found it necessary to consult with other attorneys in the firm on various aspects of the case. A brief biography of each of the primary attorneys, along with a description of their areas of expertise, are set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit C. 10. As outlined above, the attorneys who worked on this case from July 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009 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 of law. 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 July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 in the sum of$I,455.17 as set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit D. Applicant notes that these costs are customary charges made to other firm clients in the ordinary course of its billing practice. 12. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, it is respectfully submitted that the amount requested is fair and reasonable given (a) the complexity of the case, (b) the time expended, (c) the nature and the 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. Moreover, Applicant has reviewed the requirements of Del. Bankr. LR 2016 and the Administrative Order and believes that this Application complies with such Rule and Order. -5 #1 :1922474 v5 WHEREFORE, your Applicant respectfully requests, for the period July 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009, an interim allowance be made for compensation in the amount of $16,609.50 and actual and necessary expenses in the amount of $1,455.17 for a total allowance of $18,064.67 and payment of$13,287.60 (80% of the allowed fees) and reimbursement of $1,455.17 (100% ofthe allowed expenses) be authorized for a total payment of$14,742.77 for such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
