of Expenses for the Period from August 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010 (the "Application"). By this Application Rutan seeks a monthly interim allowance of compensation in the amount of $11,349.90, consisting of $11,345.50 in fees, $4.40 in costs and payment of $9,076.40 (80% of the allowed fees), $4.40 (100% of costs) for the period August 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010 (the "Interim Period"). In support of this Application, Rutan respectfully represents as follows:

Background
1. On March 9, 2009 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors filed voluntary

petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors continue in possession of their properties and continues to operate and manage their business as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. A Committee of Unsecured Creditors ("Committee") was appointed on or about March 19, 2009. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in the Debtors chapter 11 cases. 2. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157

and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). 3. On or about April 8, 2009, the Court entered the Administrative Order,

authorizing certain professionals ("Professionals") to submit monthly applications for interim compensation and reimbursement for expenses, pursuant to the procedures specified therein. The Administrative Order provides, among other things, that a Professional may submit monthly fee applications. If no objections are made within twenty (20) days after service of the monthly fee application the Debtors are authorized to pay the Professional eighty percent (80%) of the requested fees and one hundred

2532/023353-0031 111077001 aOOfISiIO

percent (100%) of the requested expenses. Beginning with the period ending May 31, 2009, at three-month intervals, each Professional shall file and serve an interim application for allowance of the amounts sought in its monthly fee applications for that period. All fees and expenses paid are on an interim basis until final allowance by the Court. 4. The retention of Rutan, as special corporate and litigation counsel to the

Debtors, was approved effective as of the Petition Date by this Courts "Order Granting Debtors Application Pursuant to Sections 105(A), 327, 328, and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code Authorizing Debtors to Retain, Employ and Compensate Rutan & Tucker, LLP as Special Corporation and Litigation Counsel," entered on or about May 1, 2009 (the "Retention Order"). The Retention Order authorized Rutan to he compensated on an hourly basis and to be reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses.

RUTANS APPLICATION FOR COMPENSATION AND FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES Compensation Paid and Its Source
5. All services for which Rutan requests compensation were performed for or

on behalf of the Debtors. 6. Rutan 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 matters covered by this Application. There is no agreement or understanding between Rutan and any other person other than the partners of Rutan for the sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in this case. 7. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors provided Rutan with a retainer to

secure payment of the fees owed to it by the Debtors and the expenses incurred by Rutan

After the Petition Date, Rutan obtained the Courts permission to draw on its pre-petition retainer to pay certain amounts owing to it as of the Petition Date. The balance of the prepetition retainer was credited to the Debtors and is being utilized as Rutans retainer against post-petition fees and expenses pursuant to the compensation procedures approved by this Court and the Bankruptcy Code. 8.

9. Rutans billing statements for August, 2010 are attached hereto as Exhibit A. These statements contain daily time logs describing the time spent by each attorney and paraprofessional during the Interim Period. To the best of Rutans knowledge, this Application complies with sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, this Courts Local Rules, and the Administrative Order. Rutans time reports are either (a) initially handwritten by the attorney or paralegal performing the described services and then entered into Rutans computerized billing program by an administrative assistant or (b) entered directly into Rutans computerized billing program by the attorney or paralegal performing the described services. The time reports are then organized on a daily basis. Rutan is sensitive to issues of "lumping" and, unless time was spent in one time frame on a variety of different matters for a particular client, separate time entries are set forth in the time reports. Rutans charges for its

2532/023353-003 I 1 119770 01 a09I5;I0

professional services are based upon the time, nature, extent and value of such services and the cost of comparable services other than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.

Actual and Necessary Expenses 10. A summary of actual and necessary expenses incurred by Rutan for the

Interim Period is attached hereto as part of Exhibit A. 11. Rutan charges $0.10 per page for photocopying expenses related to cases,

such as this one, arising in Delaware. Rutans photocopying machines automatically record the number of copies made when the person that is doing the copying enters the clients account number into a device attached to the photocopier. Rutan summarizes each clients photocopying charges on a daily basis. 12. Rutan charges $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each additional page

of out-going facsimile transmissions. There is no additional charge for long distance telephone calls on faxes. The charge for outgoing facsimile transmissions reflects Rutans calculation of the actual costs incurred by Rutan for the machines, supplies, and extra labor expenses associated with sending facsimile transmissions and is reasonable in relation to the amount charged by outside vendors who provide similar services. Rutan does not charge the Debtors for the receipt of faxes in this case. 13. With respect to providers of on-line legal research services LEXIS

and WESTLAW), Rutan charges the standard usage rates these providers charge for computerized legal research. Rutan bills its clients the actual amounts charged by such services, with no premium. Any volume discount received by Rutan is passed on to the client.

2532/03353-003 I 1 1 1977001 a09/15I0

14.

Rutan believes the foregoing rates are the market rates that the majority of

law firms charge clients for such services. In addition, Rutan believes that such charges are in accordance with the American Bar Associations ("ABA") guidelines, as set forth in the ABAs Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding billing for disbursements and other charges. Summary of Services Rendered 15. The names of the partners and associates of Rutan who have rendered

professional services in these cases during the Interim Period, and the paralegals and case management assistants of Rutan who provided services to these attorneys during the Interim Period, are set forth in the attached Exhibit A. 16. Rutan, by and through such persons, as special corporate and litigation

counsel, has advised the Debtors on a regular basis with respect to various corporate and litigation matters in connection with the Debtors bankruptcy cases, and performed all necessary professional services which are described and narrated in detail below. Rutans efforts have been extensive due to the size and complexity of the Debtors bankruptcy cases. Summary of Services by Project 17. The services rendered by Rutan during the Interim Period can be grouped

into the categories set forth below. Rutan attempted to place the services provided in the category that best relates to such services. However, because certain services may relate to one or more categories, services pertaining to one category may in fact be included in another category. These services performed, by categories, are generally described below, with a more detailed identification of the actual services provided set forth on the
