Description and Valuation of Services 11. Ropes & Gray attorneys, paralegals and paraprofessionals have expended a total
of 418.70 hours in connection with this matter during the First Period as set forth in Exhibit A. 12. The rates charged to these estates are Ropes & Gray's normal hourly rates for
work of this nature. The reasonable value of the services rendered by Ropes & Gray to the Committee during the First Period is $253,636.00. 13. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code,
it is respectfully submitted that the amount requested by Ropes & Gray is fair and reasonable given (a) the complexity of the 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 this title. Moreover, Ropes & Gray has reviewed the requirements of Local Rule 2016-2 and believes that this Application complies with such Local Rule. Actual and Necessary Expenses 14. Ropes & Gray incurred a total of $5,235.42 in actual and necessary expenses in
connection with representing the Committee during the First Period. Ropes & Gray incurred these disbursements and expenses in accordance with Ropes & Gray's normal practice of charging clients for expenses clearly related to and required by particular matters, and endeavored to minimize these expenses to the fullest extent possible. 15. Ropes & Gray's billing rates do not include charges for photocopying,
computerized research, travel, "working meals," secretarial overtime, postage, and certain other office services. Because the needs of each client for such services differ, Ropes & Gray believes that it is fairest to charge each client only for the services actually used in performing services for such client. In these proceedings, Ropes & Gray charges $.10 per page for internal duplicating. 7
Ropes & Gray does not charge for long distance telephone calls placed from Ropes & Gray's offices or incoming and outgoing facsimile transmissions. 16. Ropes & Gray has made every effort to minimize its disbursements in these cases
and respectfully submits that the actual expenses incurred in providing professional services to the Committee were necessary, reasonable and justified to serve the needs of the Committee.
WHEREFORE, Ropes & Gray respectfully requests that this Court (a) allow Ropes & Gray j) compensation in the amount of $253,636.00 for actual, reasonable and necessary professional services rendered on behalf of the Committee during the period of June 24, 2011 through July 31, 2011, and (ii) reimbursement in the amount of $5,235.42 for actual, reasonable and necessary expenses incurred during the same period; (b) authorize and direct the Debtors to pay Ropes & Gray the amount of $202,908,80, which is equal to the sum of 80% of Ropes & Gray's allowed monthly compensation, and $5,235.42, which is equal to 100% of Ropes & Gray's allowed expense reimbursement; and (c) grant such other and further relief as is just.
