unpaid amounts. 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 was appointed on or about March 19, 2009. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in the Debtors chapter II cases. 2. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sS 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 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

Application.

2123/023353-003 115420001 a02/19/1

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 be compensated on an hourly basis and to be reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses. 5. On December 15, 2010, the Court entered an Order confirming the Debtors

liquidating chapter 11 plan. (Dkt. No. 2084). The Effective Date of Debtors liquidating plan was December 23, 2010. RUTANS APPLICATION FOR COMPENSATION AND FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES Compensation Paid and Its Source 6. All services for which compensation is requested by Rutan were performed for or

on behalf of the Debtors, and no other entity. 7. 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. 8. 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 on the Debtors behalf. Rutan received payments from the Debtors during the year prior to the Petition Date in the amount of $2,437,169.16. 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

2123/023353-0031 115420001 a02/1 9/11

procedures approved by this Court and the Bankruptcy Code. Monthly Fee Applications Covered By This Quarterly Application 9. Rutans Monthly and Quarterly Fee Applications for the periods March 9, 2009,

to December 23, 2010, have been filed with Court. Pursuant to the Administrative Order, twelve of Rutans Monthly Fee Applications have been approved through approval of a Quarterly Fee Application. Attached as Exhibits I through 8 are true and correct copies of Rutans Monthly Fee Applications that have not yet been approved by the Court. 10. The Monthly Fee Applications covered by this Final Fee Application contain

detailed daily time logs describing the actual and necessary services performed by Rutan for the Debtors during the Interim Period. The Monthly Fee Applications also contain other detailed information that is required to be included by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and this Courts Local Rules. Requested Relief 11. By this Final Application, Rutan requests that the Court approve payment of one

hundred percent (100%) of the fees and costs incurred by Rutan & Tucker during the Period of March 9, 2009, through December 23, 2010. 12. The professional services for which Rutan seeks allowance of compensation, and

the attendant costs for which Rutan seeks reimbursement, were rendered and incurred in connection with this case as Rutan discharged its duties as special corporate and litigation counsel for the Debtors. Rutans services have been necessary and beneficial to the Debtors, its estate, and the various parties in interest. 13. At all relevant times, Rutan has been a disinterested person as that term is defined

in 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and has not represented or held an interest adverse to the

2123/023353-0031 115420001 a02/19/1 1

interest of the Debtors. 14. Under 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, Rutan respectfully submits that the amount

requested by Rutan is fair and reasonable given (a) the complexity of these 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. Further, Rutan has reviewed Local Rule 2016-2 and the Administrative Order and believes that this Application complies with requirements of that Rule and Order. WHEREFORE, Rutan respectfully requests that the court enter an order (1) approving compensation to Rutan for the period from March 9, 2009, through December 23, 2010, in the sum of $1,561,625.27, as payment for necessary professional services rendered, and the sum of $16,456.74, as reimbursement for actual and necessary costs and expenses, for a total of $1,578,082.01 and (ii) authorizing and directing the Debtors to pay to Rutan the outstanding amount of such sums; and for such other and further relief as may be just and proper.

Expenses for the Period from March 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010 (the "Application"). By this Application Rutan seeks a monthly interim allowance of compensation in the amount of $18,383.00 and actual and necessary expenses in the amount

In support of this Application, Rutan respectfully represents as follows:
Background

I.

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 11 07(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 H 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

2123/0233 53-0031 iogiosg 01 a04/3J10

twenty (20) days afier service of the monthly fee application the Debtors are authorized to pay the Professional eighty percent (80%) of the requested fees and one hundred 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 I, 2009 (the "Retention Order"). The Retention Order authorized Rutan to be compensated on an hourly basis and to be reimbursed for actual and necessary out-ofpocket 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

21 23/02333.003 I 1 0833590 a041231I0

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 Rutari with a retainer to

secure payment of the fees owed to it by the Debtors and the expenses incurred by Rutan on the Debtors behalf. Rutan received payments from the Debtors during the year prior to the Petition Date in the amount of $2,437,169.16. 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. This is Rutans thirteenth monthly fee application. In its first monthly

Under the Administrative Order, Rutan received $32,196.40 in fees and

2123/0233530031 108335801 a04/2 _1/10

$631.09 in expenses. Under its twelfth fee application (for the period February 1, 2010 to February 28, 2010), Rutan sought approval of $39,018.00 in fees and $67.32 in expenses. Rutans twelfth fee application is pending. 9. Rutans billing statements for March, 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 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. 1 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

2123/023353-0031 108335$ (ii a04/23/10

-6-

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 S0.50 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. Ruta.n 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. 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

2 123/023 353-0031 108335801 a04/2 3f10

-7-

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.

Actual and Necessary Expenses 10. A summary of actual and necessary expenses incurred by Rutari 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 etra 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.
I

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. 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.

2123/023 353-0031 1 097466 01 307/07i10

By this Application Rutan seeks a monthly interim allowance of compensation in the amount of $3,110.00, consisting of $3,1 10.00 in fees and payment of $2,488.00 (80% of the allowed fees) for the period May 1, 2010 through May 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 II 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 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 be 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 on the Debtors behalf. Rutan received payments from the Debtors during the year prior to the Petition Date in the amount of $2,437,169.16. After the Petition Date, Rutan

-5-

sought approval of $10,060.00 in fees and ($. 10) in expenses. Under the Administrative Order, Rutan received $8,048.00 in fees and $(0.] 0) in expenses. 9. Rutans billing statements for May 2010 are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

These statements contain daily time logs describing the time spent by each attorney and paraprofessional during the Enterim 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 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 JO. 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

2123/023353.0031 109746(,.0I aOl/Ui/JO

-6-

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 Rutari is passed on to the client. 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 IS. 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.

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 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
.

ID.

A summary of actual and necessary expenses incurred by Rutan for the

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

7 I 2 310233 53-003 I 110421001 a08104/10

-6-

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. 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
