Expenses for the Period from March I, 2010, through May 31, 2010 (the "Application"). By this Application Rutan seeks an interim allowance of compensation in the amount of $31,553.00 and actual and necessary expenses in the amount of $99.45 for a total allowance of $31,652.45 and payment of the unpaid portions of such amounts for the period March 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 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 percent (100%) of the requested expenses. Beginning with the period ending May 31,

-2-
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. 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 prepetition retainer to pay the amounts owing to it as of the
2)23023353-0031 1142429.01 a1228/10
Petition Date. The balance remaining from the prepetition retainer was credited to the Debtors and is being utilized as Rutans retainer to apply to postpetition fees and expenses pursuant to the compensation procedures approved by this Court and the Bankruptcy Code. Monthly Fee Applications Covered By This Quarterly Application 7. Rutans Monthly Fee Applications for the period March 1, 2010, through
May 31, 2010, have been filed and served pursuant to the Administrative Order. 8. On April 23, 2010, Rutan filed its Thirteenth Monthly Application for
Compensation and for Reimbursement of Expenses of Rutan & Tucker, LLP as Special Counsel to the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period from March 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010.

Compensation and for Reimbursement of Expenses of Rutan & Tucker, UP as Special
21231023353-0031 1 1421290I a12128/10
Counsel to the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period from May 1, 2010 through May 31, 2010. The Fifteenth Monthly Fee Application seeks approval of $3,110.00 in fees and $0.00 in expenses.

Rutan requests that the Court approve payment of one hundred percent
(100%) of the fees and costs incurred by Rutan during the Interim Period of March 1, 2010, through May 31, 2010. 13. The professional services for which Rutan seeks interim 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. 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.

Administrative Order and believes that this Application complies with requirements of that Rule and Order. WHEREFORE, Rutan respectfully requests that the Court enter and order (i) approving and allowing on an interim basis Rutans fees in the amount of $31,553.00 and costs in the amount of $99.45, for a total allowance of $31,652.45; (ii) directing the Debtors to pay Rutan the outstanding amount of such sums; and (iii) granting Rutan such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Expenses for the Period from March 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010 (the "Application").

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(b)(2).
157 and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 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
2123m23353-0031 1083359.0 a04123/I0
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-ofpocket expenses. RUTANS APPLICATION FOR COMPENSATION AND FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES Compensation Paid and Its Source 5. All servicesfor 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
123/023353-0031 0833580I a04123/I0
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.

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.

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.
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
2I23i23353-003I 1083358.01 a04123110
-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 $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 Rutan s 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.

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.
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 eura 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 (e.g,
LEXIS and WESTLAW), Rutan charges the standard usage rates these providers charge for computerized legal research. Rutan bills sits 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,
2123/023353-0031 1090639.01 a05/25/10
as set forth in the ABAs Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding billing for disbursements and other charges.
15.
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.

By this Application Rutan seeks a monthly interim allowance of compensation in the amount of $3,110.00, consisting of $3,110.00 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
i.
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 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
21231023353-0031 1097466.01 a07l07110
-2-
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
21231023353-0031 1097466.01 a07107/10

223/023353.003I 109746601 a07/07/10

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. 10) 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 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. 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 1097466.01 o07l07/I0
-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 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.
15.
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.
