WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION

In re: Chapter 11

BESTWALL LLC,1 Case No. 17-31795 (LTB)

Debtor. Related Docket Nos. 189, 212, and 256

EX PARTE APPLICATION OF THE FUTURE CLAIMANTS’ REPRESENTATIVE FOR


AN ORDER AUTHORIZING THE FUTURE CLAIMANTS’ REPRESENTATIVE TO
CO-RETAIN FTI CONSULTING, INC. AS FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH THE
OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF ASBESTOS CLAIMANTS
NUNC PRO TUNC TO APRIL 4, 2018

Sander L. Esserman (the “Future Claimants’ Representative”), as the legal representative

for persons that have not yet asserted an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the above-

captioned debtor (the “Debtor”) but may in the future assert such a claim (the “Future

Claimants”), submits this application (this “Application”) for an order, pursuant to sections 328

and 1103 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), Rules 2014 and 2016 of

the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), and Rules 2014-1, 2016-1,

and 9013-1(f)(8) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court

for the Western District of North Carolina (the “Local Rules”), authorizing the Future Claimants’

Representative to co-retain and employ FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI” or the “Firm”) as his

financial advisor, effective as of April 4, 2018. In support of this Application, the Future

Claimants’ Representative relies upon the Declaration of Matthew Diaz Under Rules 2014 and

2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Section 328 of the U.S. Bankruptcy

Code in Support of the Ex Parte Application of the Future Claimants’ Representative to Co-

Retain FTI Consulting, Inc. as Financial Advisor with the Official Committee of Asbestos

Claimants (the “Diaz Declaration”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, and represents as follows:

JURISDICTION

1. The Court has jurisdiction over this Application pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and

1334. This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).

2. The statutory predicates for this Application are sections 328 and 1103 of the

Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Rules 2014-1, 2016-1, and 9013-

1(f)(8).

BACKGROUND

3. On November 2, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor commenced this

reorganization case by filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy

Code.

4. On November 16, 2017, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 97] appointing

the official committee of asbestos claimants (the “Committee”) in this chapter 11 case.

5. On January 24, 2018, the Committee filed an application [Docket No. 189]

seeking authorization to retain and employ FTI as its financial advisor (the “Committee’s

Application”). On February 5, 2018, the Committee filed a supplemental declaration of Matthew

Diaz [Docket No. 212] (the “Supplemental Diaz Declaration”), supplementing the services

requested to be provided under the Committee’s Application to include certain electronic data

hosting and processing. On February 14, 2018, the Court entered an order approving that

application [Docket No. 256] and authorizing FTI to be compensated for its services and

reimbursed for any related expenses in accordance with the applicable provisions of the

2
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 3 of 32

Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and pursuant to any procedures that

may be established by the Court.

6. On February 23, 2018, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 278] (the “FCR

Appointment Order”) appointing Sander L. Esserman as the Future Claimants’ Representative in

this chapter 11 case, effective as of January 10, 2018.

RELIEF REQUESTED AND BASIS THEREFOR

7. By this Application, the Future Claimants’ Representative respectfully requests

the entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, authorizing him to

co-retain FTI as his financial advisor with the Committee.

8. The Future Claimants’ Representative requires a consultant on financial matters

arising in this case, including, but not limited to, evaluating the financial condition of the Debtor

and New GP and negotiating the economic terms of a plan of reorganization containing an

injunction of the type authorized pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. FTI is well

qualified to fulfill that need and to render other necessary services to the Future Claimants’

Representative. The Future Claimants’ Representative is familiar with the professional standing

and reputation of FTI and understands and recognizes that FTI has a wealth of experience in

providing financial advisory services in restructurings and reorganizations and enjoys an

excellent reputation for services it has rendered in complex chapter 11 cases on behalf of debtors

and creditors throughout the United States.

9. The Future Claimants’ Representative, the Committee, and FTI have agreed that

FTI will jointly advise the Future Claimants’ Representative and the Committee on the same

terms and conditions as the Committee’s retention of FTI. Co-retention of FTI by the Future

Claimants’ Representative and the Committee is appropriate in this case because the interests of

3
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 4 of 32

the Future Claimants and the Committee’s constituency are aligned with respect to protecting the

rights of all asbestos-related personal injury claimants, preserving the assets of the estate and

maximizing the value of the Debtor’s assets. Further, co-retention of FTI will conserve estate

resources and minimize duplication of efforts among the Future Claimants’ Representative and

the Committee. The Debtor does not oppose to Future Claimants’ Representative and the

Committee co-retaining FTI.

10. The Future Claimants’ Representative, the Committee, and FTI further agree that

to the extent the Committee or the Future Claimants’ Representative determines that an actual or

perceived conflict has arisen with respect to co-retention of FTI, then upon notice to FTI, FTI

shall no longer represent the Future Claimants’ Representative, but shall continue to represent

the Committee.2 The Future Claimants’ Representative further requests that in such

circumstances, the Future Claimants’ Representative shall have the right to apply to this Court to

retain a separate financial advisor.

SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION

11. The Future Claimants’ Representative seeks to retain FTI on the same terms and

conditions as the Committee’s retention of FTI. Accordingly, the Future Claimants’

Representative anticipates that FTI will provide the same services to the Future Claimants’

Representative as FTI is currently providing to the Committee, as described in the Committee’s

Application, ¶ 8 (the “Services”) and under the same fees and expenses as described in the

Committee’s Application, ¶¶ 19-23. FTI understands that its fees and expenses in this chapter 11

case will be subject to the requirements of sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code and

2
The termination of FTI’s representation of the Future Claimants’ Representative due to such actual or
perceived conflict shall not affect the confidentiality of any work product or terminate any joint or common interest
privilege between the Future Claimants’ Representative and the Committee or affect the confidentiality of any work
performed by FTI on behalf of the Future Claimants’ Representative prior to the termination of the representation.

4
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 5 of 32

applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Compensation Guidelines

issued by the Court, the order [Docket No. 132] (the “Interim Compensation Order”) entered

with respect to the Motion of the Debtor for an Order Establishing Procedures for Interim

Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses of Retained Professionals, and any other

applicable procedures and orders of the Court. FTI will file consolidated fee applications with

the Court as required and use separate task codes to delineate work directed specifically for the

benefit of the Committee or the Future Claimants’ Representative.

12. The Services to be rendered by FTI will not duplicate the services to be rendered

by any other professionals retained by the Future Claimants’ Representative in this chapter 11

case. Rather, by authorizing the Future Claimants’ Representative to co-retain FTI with the

Committee, it will avoid the unnecessary duplication of services that would result if the Future

Claimants’ Representative was required to retain a separate financial advisor.

13. Parties with similarly-aligned interests in other asbestos bankruptcy cases have

been authorized to co-retain professionals, preserving valuable estate assets. See, e.g., In re:

Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 16-31602 (JCW) (Bankr. W.D.N.C. 2016)

[Docket No. 580] (approving the co-retention of a special insurance counsel by the future

claimants’ representative and the asbestos personal injury claimants committee); see also In re:

United Gilsonite Laboratories, Case No. 5:11-bk-02032 (RNO) (Bankr. M.D.Pa. 2011) [Docket

No. 250] (approving the co-retention of a valuation consultant by the future claimants

representative and the official committee of unsecured creditors).

INDEMNIFICATION

14. In addition to the foregoing, and as a material part of the consideration for the

agreement of FTI to furnish services to the Future Claimants’ Representative pursuant to the

5
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 6 of 32

terms of this Application, FTI believes that the following indemnification terms, which

indemnification terms were requested in the Committee’s Application and subsequently

approved by the Court, are customary and reasonable for financial advisors in chapter 11 cases:

(a) subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) below and approval
of the Court, the Debtor is authorized to indemnify, and shall indemnify,
FTI for any claims arising from, related to, or in connection with FTI’s
engagement under this Application, but not for any claim arising from,
related to, or in connection with FTI’s post-petition performance of any
other services other than those in connection with the engagement, unless
such post-petition services and indemnification therefor are approved by
the Court; and

(b) the Debtor shall have no obligation to indemnify FTI for any claim or
expense that is either (i) judicially determined (the determination having
become final) to have arisen primarily from FTI’s gross negligence,
willful misconduct or fraud unless the Court determines that
indemnification would be permissible pursuant to In re United Artists
Theatre Company, et al., 315 F.3d 217 (3d Cir. 2003), or (ii) settled prior
to a judicial determination as to FTI’s gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud, but determined by the Court, after notice and a
hearing, to be a claim or expense for which FTI is not entitled to receive
indemnity under the terms of this Application; and

(c) if, before the earlier of (i) the entry of an order confirming a plan in this
chapter 11 case (that order having become final and no longer subject to
appeal), and (ii) the entry of an order closing this chapter 11 case, FTI
believes it is entitled to the payment of any amounts by the Debtor on
account of the Debtor’s indemnification obligations under this
Application, including, without limitation, the advancement of defense
costs, FTI must file an application in the Court, and the Debtor may not
pay any such amounts to FTI before the entry of an order by the Court
approving the payment. This subparagraph (c) is intended only to specify
the period of time under which the Court shall have jurisdiction over any
request for fees and expenses by FTI for indemnification, and not as a
provision limiting the duration of the Debtor’s obligation to indemnify
FTI.

The Future Claimants’ Representative believes that indemnification is customary and reasonable

for financial advisors in chapter 11 proceedings. See In re Joan & David Halpern, Inc., 248 B.R.

43 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2000).

FTI’S CONNECTIONS WITH THIS CHAPTER 11 CASE

15. FTI has informed the Future Claimants’ Representative that, except as may be set

forth in the Diaz Declaration, it does not represent any other entity having an adverse interest in

connection with this chapter 11 case, and therefore believes it is eligible to represent the Future

Claimants’ Representative under section 1103(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

16. To the best of the Future Claimants’ Representative’s knowledge, and except as

disclosed in the Diaz Declaration: (i) both Mr. Diaz and FTI are “disinterested persons” within

the meaning of sections 101(14), 328(c) and 1103(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and hold no

interest adverse to the Future Claimants’ Representative or the Debtor’s asbestos creditors on the

matters for which they are to be employed; (ii) neither Mr. Diaz nor FTI has any connection to

the Debtor, its creditors, or related parties herein except as disclosed in the Diaz Declaration; and

(iii) the FTI professionals working on this matter are not relatives of the bankruptcy

administrator or of any known employee in the office thereof, or any United States Bankruptcy

Judge of the Western District of North Carolina.

17. In connection with this co-retention, all communications with and among FTI, the

Future Claimants’ Representative, and the Committee, as well as any attorney, agent or

employee acting on the Future Claimants’ Representative’s or the Committee’s behalf, will be

regarded as confidential and made solely for the purpose of assisting counsel in giving legal

advice to the Future Claimants’ Representative and/or the Committee. FTI will not disclose to

anyone, without prior written permission of the Future Claimants’ Representative and/or the

Committee, the nature or content of any oral or written communication, or any information

gained from inspection of any papers, records, or documents sent to the Future Claimants’

Representative and/or the Committee. Nor will FTI permit the inspection of any such papers,

7
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 8 of 32

records, or documents, without the prior written permission of the Future Claimants’

Representative or the Committee. Further, the Future Claimants’ Representative and the

Committee have agreed that neither party will request that FTI provide them with the work

product of the other party’s counsel or other professionals without first obtaining written consent

from such other party.

18. The Future Claimants’ Representative is satisfied that FTI does not represent an

interest adverse to the Future Claimants’ Representative with respect to the matters for which

FTI will be employed and is a disinterested person, as that term is defined in section 101(14) of

the Bankruptcy Code. Other than as set forth herein and in the Diaz Declaration, FTI has not

provided, and will not provide, any professional services to the Debtor, any of the creditors,

other parties-in-interest, or their respective attorneys and accountants with regard to any matter

related to this chapter 11 case. The employment of FTI would be in the best interests of the

Debtor’s estate and creditors, the Future Claimants’ Representative and the Future Claimants.

NOTICE

19. Pursuant to Local Rule 9013-1(f), the Future Claimants’ Representative seeks

approval of this Application on an ex parte basis. Upon entry of an order granting the relief

requested, the Future Claimants’ Representative will provide notice of entry of the order in

accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules, and any party in interest shall be

entitled to request that the Court reconsider the relief provided within fourteen days of service of

notice of the order.

NO PREVIOUS REQUEST

20. No previous request for the relief sought in this Application has been made to this

or any other Court.

proper.

deems appropriate and feasible in order to advise the Future Claimants’ Representative in the

Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 13 of 32

the Future Claimants’ Representative or its counsel may deem necessary;


and

(m) Rendering such other general business consulting or such other assistance
as the Future Claimants’ Representative or its counsel may deem
necessary that are consistent with the role of a financial advisor and not
duplicative of services provided by other professionals in this proceeding.

3. The Future Claimants’ Representative requires a consultant on financial matters

arising in this case. As noted in the Application, FTI has substantial experience and expertise in

matters of this nature. Accordingly, the Firm is well qualified to perform these services and

represent the interests of the Future Claimants’ Representative in this chapter 11 case. FTI is

prepared to work closely with the Future Claimants’ Representative and his counsel, as well as

the Committee and its counsel, to ensure that there is no duplication of effort or cost.

4. The Future Claimants’ Representative, the Committee, and FTI have agreed that

to the extent the Committee or the Future Claimants’ Representative determines that an actual or

perceived conflict has arisen with respect to the co-retention of FTI, then upon notice to FTI, FTI

shall no longer represent the Future Claimants’ Representative, but shall continue to represent

the Committee.4

5. In connection with the Future Claimants’ Representative’s and the Committee’s

co-retention of FTI, all communications with and among FTI, the Future Claimants’

Representative, and the Committee, as well as any attorney, agent or employee acting on the

and made solely for the purpose of assisting counsel in giving legal advice to the Future

4
The termination of FTI’s representation of the Future Claimants’ Representative due to such actual or

performed by FTI on behalf of the Future Claimants’ Representative prior to the termination of the representation.

3
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main

written permission of the Future Claimants’ Representative and/or the Committee, the nature or

content of any oral or written communication, or any information gained from inspection of any

papers, records, or documents sent to the Future Claimants’ Representative and/or the

Committee. Nor will FTI permit the inspection of any such papers, records, or documents,

without the prior written permission of the Future Claimants’ Representative or the Committee.

Further, the Future Claimants’ Representative and the Committee have agreed that neither party

will request that FTI provide them with the work product of the other party’s counsel or other

professionals without first obtaining written consent from such other party.

DISINTERESTEDNESS AND ELIGIBILITY

6. In connection with the Committee’s Application, FTI previously conducted a

conflicts check against the entities listed in Schedule 1 hereto.

7. Attached to the Committee’s Application as Exhibit B was a declaration in

support thereof, sworn to and subscribed by me (the “Prior Diaz Declaration”), disclosing any

and all “connections” to such entities identified by FTI during such conflicts check.

8. Other than as set forth in the Prior Diaz Declaration, or disclosed herein or in the

Application, to the best of my knowledge and information after due inquiry, FTI does not have

any connection with any of the parties listed on Schedule 1 in matters related to this chapter 11

case.

9. In addition, except as set forth in the Prior Diaz Declaration, or disclosed herein

or in the Application, neither FTI nor any of its professionals has any interest in or connection

with the Debtor, its creditors, the Office of the United States Bankruptcy Administrator for the

Western District of North Carolina or any person employed in that Office, the Judges for the

4
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 15 of 32

United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina, or any other known

party-in-interest.

10. FTI will supplement this declaration if it becomes aware of any other relationship

that requires disclosure in this chapter 11 case.

PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION

11. Subject to Court approval and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the

Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, the Compensation Guidelines, and the

Interim Compensation Order, FTI will seek payment for compensation on an hourly basis, plus

reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses incurred by FTI, including legal fees related to

the Application and future fee applications, as approved by the Court. FTI will file consolidated

fee applications with the Court and use separate task codes to delineate work directed

specifically for the benefit of the Committee or the Future Claimants’ Representative. FTI will

seek compensation solely from the Debtor and its estate and the Future Claimants’

Representative will have no personal liability for any obligation to FTI arising from this

Application. FTI’s customary hourly rates as charged in bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy matters

of this type by the professionals assigned to this engagement are outlined in the Committee’s

Application, the Prior Diaz Declaration, and the Supplemental Diaz Declaration. These hourly

rates are adjusted periodically.

12. According to FTI’s books and records, during the ninety-day period prior to the

commencement of this chapter 11 case, FTI performed no professional services and incurred no

reimbursable expenses on behalf of the Debtor.

13. To the best of my knowledge, (i) no commitments have been made or received by

FTI with respect to compensation or payment in connection with this case other than in

5
Case 17-31795 Doc 395 Filed 04/23/18 Entered 04/23/18 22:29:57 Desc Main
Document Page 16 of 32

accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) FTI has no agreement with any

other entity to share with such entity any compensation received by FTI in connection with this

chapter 11 case.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the facts and

statements set forth above are either (i) within my personal knowledge and are true and correct,

or (ii) based upon information supplied to me by others, including certain professionals at FTI,

and as such are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

this Court; and

(b) the Debtor shall have no obligation to indemnify FTI for any claim or
expense that is either (i) judicially determined (the determination having

amounts to FTI before the entry of an order by this Court approving the
payment. This subparagraph (c) is intended only to specify the period of
