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

Rutans billing statements for June, 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,
2123/023353-0031 lI042I.0I a08104/I0
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

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

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.

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

Rutans charges for its
7 532/023353-0031
1119770 01 a09i1510
-6-
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. II. 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.
25321023353-0031 1119770.01 a09/15/10

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.
