provide a detailed description of the services rendered and expenses incurred during the period

task categories relating specifically to this Chapter 11 case. In some cases, Applicant found a

9. 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

2010 through October 31, 2010 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 oflaw. 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.
