which PSZJ attorneys have extensive experience. In the insolvency area, PSZJ represents debtors, creditors, equity holders, committees, trustees, landlords, potential acquirers of assets, and other parties with interests in financially distressed businesses. PSZJ has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Delaware and New York, and handles matters throughout the United States. 2. Pursuant to the Order Granting Application of Debtors and Debtors in Possession to
Employ Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as General Bankruptcy Counsel Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date (the Retention Order), entered on May 21, 2009, this Court authorized the Debtors to employ PSZJ as bankruptcy counsel in these proceedings. The terms and conditions of employment and compensation, source of compensation are all set forth in the engagement letter previously filed and approved by the Retention Order. 3. Except as otherwise set forth in this Application, no payments have been made or
11 12
promised to PSZJ for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with these cases other than as may be authorized upon application to and order of this Court. Neither PSZJ nor any shareholders or associates of the Firm has any agreement or any understanding of any kind or nature to divide, pay over, or share any portion of the fees to be awarded with any other person or attorney except among partners and associates of the Firm. 4. The PSZJ attorneys who have been principally responsible for rendering services to
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
the Debtors during this Interim Period have been James I. Stang, Shirley S. Cho, and Werner Disse. Other PSZJ attorneys and staff have rendered services as needed. In general, tasks have been allocated among PSZJs attorneys based upon the comparative expertise of a particular attorney in various aspects of these cases. Whenever feasible, work was allocated to attorneys with lower hourly rates. PSZJ believes that it provided services were provided in an efficient and economic manner. Nevertheless, in the exercise of it billing discretion, PSZJ has written off $12,606.33 in professionals fees and costs incurred by PSZJ during the Interim Period. 5. The following exhibits covering the Interim Period are annexed to this Application:
Exhibit 1 lists the billing rates for all PSZJ professionals who rendered services to the Debtors, and a summary of the hours billed and fees incurred on behalf of the Debtors by each of those persons.

11 12
Payment of Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses as Co-Counsel to the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period of March 31, 2009 through June 30, 2009 [Docket No. 608] (the First Interim Fee Application) seeking allowance of $903,777.76, consisting of services rendered in the amount of $865,249.50 and expenses incurred in the amount of $38,528.26. On August 28, 2009, the United States Trustee filed its objection to the First Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 448] (the UST Objection). The UST Objection was resolved by PSZJ further reducing its fees by $5,204.50. On October 20, 2009, the Court entered an order granting the First Interim Fee Application in the amount of $898,573.26 [Docket No. 612]. On account of such Order, PSZJ was paid the 15% holdback of fees in the amount of $124,500.63. III. SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION REQUEST 7. As set forth in Exhibit 5, during the Interim Period, PSZJ incurred $631,984.00 in
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
fees, representing 1,290.80 hours of service, and $26,521.55 in costs and expenses.

No party objected to the monthly fee statements, and the Debtors paid PSZJ eighty-five percent (85%) of the requested fees and one-hundred percent (100%) of the requested expenses in accordance with the Interim Compensation Order. The Debtors have also been provided the monthly fee statements and have approved the monthly fee statements.

PSZJ received advance payments from the Debtors prior to the Petition Date in the
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
amount of $1,159,8932 in connection with its prepetition representation of the Debtors (the Advance Payment Retainer). The payment on account of PSZJs July monthly fee statement was drawn against the retainer held by PSZJ by agreement with the Debtors. Currently, the remaining balance of PSZJs Advance Payment Retainer is $671,830.66. 10. By this Application, PSZJ is also requesting that the Debtors be authorized to pay
PSZJ $11,530.56 from the Advance Payment Retainer on account of prepetition expenses. Just before the Petition Date, PSZJ estimated its prepetition fees and expenses to be $234,978 and paid itself this estimated amount from the Advance Payment Retainer. Based on actual expenses posted after the Petition Date, the amount of prepetition fees and costs was $246,508.56 rather than $234,978.00. As a result, PSZJ underestimated its prepetition costs by $11,530.56 and has not been paid for this amount. Because PSZJ is holding a retainer in excess of the underestimated amount, or $671,830.66, PSZJ respectfully requests that it be allowed to draw down on the Advance Payment Retainer for this amount.
This amount was incorrectly listed as $1,149,893 in PSZJs Application of Debtors and Debtors in Possession to Employ Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as General Bankruptcy Counsel Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date [Docket Number 37] (the Employment Application).

IV. GENERAL BACKGROUND AND NARRATIVE HISTORY OF CASE A. General Background Rhodes Homes and its affiliated entities are engaged primarily in the business of
8 9 10
12.
home building and sales in Nevada and Arizona. Rhodes Homes is a leading Nevada home builder and has developed 40 communities since its founding in 1988, generating over $2.4 billion in total revenues. Rhodes Homes has built more than 6,000 homes in the Las Vegas Valley during the past two decades. In addition, the Debtors operate ancillary businesses. Tuscany Golf Country Club, LLC, one of the Debtors, owns and operates an 18-hole golf course, which is the center of the Tuscany Residential Village development. Pinnacle Grading, LLC, another Debtor, provides grading and excavation services to the Debtors and third parties. 13. Although the Debtors had made significant cost reductions in general overhead and
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
other areas, including employee layoffs, the severe downturn of the Las Vegas market, significant supply overhang, and general economic malaise have combined to create an environment where the Debtors were unable to meet their March 2009 debt and amortization payments. Despite several months of pre-petition negotiation efforts with senior secured lenders, a forbearance deal was not timely reached. 14. On March 31, 2009, the above-captioned Debtors (the Primary Filers) except
Tuscany Golf Country Club, LLC, Pinnacle Grading, LLC, and Rhodes Homes Arizona, LLC (the Secondary Filers) filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. On April 1, 2009, the Secondary Filers filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. All references to Petition Date herein shall mean March 31, 2009 for the Primary Filers or April 1, 2009 for the Secondary Filers, as applicable. The Debtors are continuing in possession of their property and are operating and managing their businesses, as debtors in possession, pursuant to
73203-002\DOCS_LA:210391.2
Case 09-14814-lbr
Doc 729
Entered 11/13/09 17:25:08
Page 7 of 100

sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have paid all invoices received to the United States Trustee and have filed all monthly operating reports for 32 entities. 15. On April 13, 2009, the Court granted the Debtors Motion for Joint Administration of
Related Chapter 11 Cases and Setting Single Bar Date and Meeting of Creditors (the Joint Administration Motion). Pursuant to the Joint Administration Motion, these cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only. 16. On May 26, 2009 the Court appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
(the Creditors Committee) pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Debtors jointly administered cases. B. Progress Towards Reorganization During the Interim Period, PSZJ spent the most time for work under the Plan and
11 12
17.
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Disclosure Statement category, or $254,333.00. In response to the Debtors request for an extension of their exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and solicit acceptances thereon, the First Lien Steering Committee objected. The exclusivity extension motion was resolved by the Debtors agreeing to terminate exclusivity in exchange for the First Lien Steering Committees agreement to mediate before a neutral third party. On July 21, 2009, this Court approved the stipulation by all key parties (the Creditors Committee, the First Lien Steering Committee, the First Lien Agent, the Second Lien Agent, and the non-Debtor Rhodes Entities) agreeing to mediate in exchange for the termination of exclusivity. [Docket No. 336] 18. Accordingly, during the Interim Period, PSZJ coordinated the format of the
mediation, prepared the Debtors mediation statement, and participated in a mediation preconference with Judge Neiter. PSZJ also responded to information requests from Judge Neiter and spent time preparing a mediation presentation for the mediation itself outlining the key issues at the suggestion of Judge Neiter. The mediation occurred on August 17, 2009, August 24, 2009 and August 25, 2009 before the Honorable Richard Neiter, Central District of California, in Los Angeles. PSZJ participated in the mediation on behalf of the Debtors.

Both prior to and after the mediation, the Debtors continued negotiations with the key
mediation parties regarding the structure of a consensual plan. PSZJ conducted analysis into various issues concerning the proposed plan structure. After the mediation, several rounds of term sheets were exchanged for several weeks, ultimately culminating in the final term sheet that was signed on September 25, 2009. 20. During the Interim Period, PSZJ also reviewed and commented on several drafts of
the consensual plan and disclosure statement, which were also filed on September 25, 2009. PSZJ also reviewed ancillary documents relating to the plan, such as the plan timeline, the solicitation motion, and solicitation order. C. Other Majority Activity During the Second Interim Fee Period PSZJ spent the second most amount of time during the Interim Period for work under
11 12
21.
the Claims Analysis and Objection category, or $113,291.00. PSZJ worked closely with the Debtors in reviewing and reconciling the over 460 claims filed in these cases. During the Interim Period, PSZJ sent out dozens of letters to creditors asking them to withdraw or amend their filed claims as appropriate, resulting in 88 claim withdrawal or amendment forms being filed totaling $1,465,650.43 in reduction of filed claims against the Debtors estates. PSZJ also filed 5 claim objections to filed claims, resulting in a disallowance of 8 claims totaling $1,037,327.90. 22. Additionally, the IRS filed over $2.8 million in claims during the Interim Period, of
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
which the Debtors were able to obtain a reduction of over $1.2 million in IRS claims. In total, PSZJ assisted the Debtors in obtaining a reduction of $8.7 million of claims during the Interim Period (including the amounts discussed in the next paragraph). 23. PSZJ spent the third most amount of time during the Interim Period for work under
the Stay Litigation category, or $61,442.50. PSZJ worked on six relief from stay requests during the Interim Period. In three cases, PSZJ coordinated the consensual lifting of the stay to allow various settlements to proceed and in connection therewith, negotiated the stipulations for lifting the stay resulting in the withdrawal of 41 claims associated with the litigation totaling more than $5 million, and drafted the corresponding motions to approve 9019 settlements. PSZJ also coordinated the lift stay of two other relief from stay requests where the claimant sought relief to pursue insurance

proceeds. Finally, PSZJ opposed a relief from stay request filed by Harsch Investments, which motion has been continued from time to time at the request of movants counsel. V. SUMMARY OF SERVICES RENDERED A. Project Billing and Narrative Statement of Services In accordance with the Fee Guidelines, PSZJ classified all services performed for
6 7 8 9 10
24.
which compensation is being sought into categories. PSZJ attempted to place the services performed for which compensation in the category that best relates to the service provided. However, because certain services may relate to one or more categories, services pertaining to one category may, in fact, be included in another category. PSZJ has established the following billing categories and used such categories in these cases: 25. B. Asset Analysis Avoidance Actions Asset Disposition Bankruptcy Litigation Case Administration Claims Analysis/Objection Compensation of Professionals Compensation of Professionals/Others Employee Benefit/Pension Executory Contracts Email Exchange Fee/Employment Applications Financial Filings Financing General Creditors Committee Hearings Insurance Coverage Litigation (Non-Bankruptcy) Operations Plan and Disclosure Statement Retention of Professionals/Other Stay Litigation Travel

A.
Factors in Evaluating Requests for Compensation
Pursuant to section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court may award to a professional person, reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered, and reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses incurred. 11 U.S.C. 330. As set forth above, the fees for which the Firm requests compensation and the costs incurred for which the Firm requests reimbursement are for actual and necessary services rendered and costs incurred. The professional services rendered by the Firm have required an expenditure of substantial time and effort. During the Interim Period, in excess of 1,290.80 hours have been recorded by members of the Firm, and additional hours of work were incurred and was written off. The Firms blended hourly rate in this case for the Interim Period, including paraprofessionals, is $489.61. Moreover, time and labor devoted is only one of many pertinent factors in determining an award of fees and costs. Based on the skills brought to bear in this case by the Firm and the results obtained and in light of the accepted lodestar approach, the Firm submits that the compensation requested herein is reasonable and appropriate. B. The Lodestar Award Should Be Calculated by Multiplying a Reasonable Hourly Rate by the Hours Expended
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
In determining the amount of allowable fees under section 330(a), courts are to be guided by the same general principles as are to be applied in determining awards under the federal feeshifting statutes, with some accommodation to the peculiarities of bankruptcy matters. Burgess v. Klenske (In re Manoa Finance Co.), 853 F.2d 687, 691 (9th Cir. 1988); see also In re Schaeffer, 71 B.R. 559, 563 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 1987). Twelve factors relevant to determining such fees were identified in Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714, 717-719 (5th Cir. 1974) (a Title VII class action case under the Civil Rights Act of 1964), and Kerr v. Screen Extras Guild, Inc., 526 F. 2d 67, 70 (9th Cir. 1975): (1) the time and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly, (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case, (5) the customary fee, (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent, (7) time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances, (8) the amount involved and the results obtained, (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, (10) the undesirability of the case, (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the

client, and (12) awards in similar cases. See American Benefit Life v. Baddock (In re First Colonial Corp.), 544 F.2d 1291 (5th Cir. 1977), (Johnson criteria applicable in bankruptcy cases). While the Johnson and Kerr courts only offered guidelines as to relevant factors, in 1984, the Supreme Court, in enunciating guidelines to determine reasonable fees under the Civil Rights Attorneys Fees Award Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. 1988, held: The initial estimate of a reasonable attorneys fee is properly calculated by multiplying the number of hours reasonably expended on the litigation times a reasonable hourly rate. Adjustments to that fee then may be made as necessary in the particular case. Blum vs. Stenson, 465 U.S. 886 (1984) (citation omitted). This is the so-called lodestar calculation. While the lodestar approach is the primary basis for determining fee awards under the federal fee-shifting statutes and under the Bankruptcy Code, the other factors still apply in calculating the appropriate hourly rate to use under the lodestar approach. For example, when, in Boddy v. Bankruptcy Court (In re Boddy), 950 F.2d 334, 337 (6th Cir. 1991), the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an approach to fees (in chapter 13 cases) that dictated only a normal and customary fee should be awarded absent exceptional results, the Sixth Circuit nonetheless acknowledged that: The court can legitimately take into account the typical compensation that is adequate for attorneys fees in Chapter 13 cases, as long as it expressly discusses these factors in light of the reasonable hours worked and a reasonable hourly rate. The bankruptcy court also may exercise its discretion to consider other factors such as the novelty and difficulty of the issues, the special skills of counsel, the results obtained, and whether the fee awarded is commensurate with fees for similar professional services in non-bankruptcy cases in the local area. 950 F.2d at 338. Thus, the twelve oft-cited Johnson and Kerr factors remain relevant: 1. The Time and Labor Required: The time for which compensation is sought is set
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
forth in detail in the exhibits hereto. In light of the scope of services rendered and the results achieved during the Interim Period, the Firms services and time expenditures are reasonable. 2. The Novelty and Difficulty of the Questions Involved: The case included a number
of matters and issues requiring a high degree of knowledge and skill.

3.
The Skill Requisite to Perform the Legal Services Properly: The Firm believes its
professionals have exhibited a high level of skill in representing the Debtors and dealing with issues and disputes regarding investigation of assets and claims, and litigation. 4. The Preclusion of Other Employment by the Attorney Due to the Acceptance of the
Case: The case involved a number of matters and issues that required substantial amounts of time clearly precluding the acceptance of alternative employment as to the many hours worked. 5. The Customary Fee: The compensation the Firm seeks by way of this Application is
the customary compensation sought by the Firm and other professionals representing trustees, committees, and debtors in similar circumstances. In addition to write offs of charges typically billed by the Firm to private clients but not typically permitted by this Court and in addition to time for which attorneys and paralegals of the Firm elected not to bill, the Firm has additionally voluntarily reduced its total fee request by $12,606.33. 6. Whether the Fee Is Fixed or Contingent: The Firm seeks fixed compensation based
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
on the lodestar formula, which it believes is appropriate in this case. 7. Time Limitations Imposed by the Circumstances: The time demands on the Firm
have varied during the Fee Period, and have included some periods of time where the Firms attorneys had to work very extensive hours for a number of the matters that arose during the Fee Period. 8. The Amount Involved and the Results Obtained: The Firm obtained demonstrable
results for its work and the amounts incurred were reasonable and appropriate. 9. The Experience, Reputation and Abilities of the Firm: The experience, reputation,
and abilities of the Firms attorneys are well known and respected in this community. 10. 11. The Undesirability of This Case: This case was not undesirable. The Nature and Length of the Professional Relationship with the Client: Applicant
has represented the Debtors since December 2008. 12. Awards in Similar Cases: The award Applicant seeks in this case is similar to
awards that counsel has received in similar cases. Exhibit 5 is a copy of the Firms time reports and records kept in the regular course of business reflecting the services rendered and the expenses

incurred by the Firm during the Interim Period. The time reports are organized on a daily basis. The Firm 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. The Firms charges for its professional services are based upon the time, nature, extent and value of such services, and the cost of comparable services in this area, other than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. The Firms charges for its professional services are based upon the time, nature, extent and value of such services, and the cost of comparable services in the Los Angeles area other than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. The Firm customarily charges its clients only for copying charges, facsimile transmissions, postage, and unusual expenses, i.e., travel, court costs, electronic research and special delivery services, including Federal Express. In-house photocopying for this case is charged at $.10 per copy; for voluminous photocopying projects, the Firm uses an outside service, and passes through the actual charge. Similarly, electronic research, court costs, and messenger, mail and other delivery charges are passed through at actual charge. Facsimile transmission for this case is charged at $1.00 per page for outgoing faxes, and $.10 cents per page for incoming faxes. The requested fees and expenses shall be paid from the estate only as and when available. As of the date of this Application, PSZJ is informed that the Debtors are holding in their trust accounts in excess of $5 million.

VIII. CONCLUSION PSZJ believes that the services rendered for which compensation is sought by this Application have been beneficial to the estates, that the costs incurred have been necessary and proper, and that the sums requested for the services rendered and costs incurred are fair and reasonable. The interim compensation sought in this Application is not final. Upon the conclusion of this case, PSZJ will seek final approval of fees and costs for the totality of the services rendered in this

case. Any interim fees approved by the Court and received by PSZJ will be credited against such final fees and costs as this Court may allow. WHEREFORE, PSZJ respectfully requests that this Court, issues an order: (i) allowing PSZJ interim compensation for services rendered and expenses incurred during the Interim Period in the amount of $658,505.55 representing services rendered in the amount of $631,984.00 and expenses incurred in the amount of $26,521.55 (ii) authorizing and directing the Debtors to pay the unpaid balance of that amount, $94,797.60 to PSZJ; (iii) authorizing and directing the Debtors to pay PSZJ the unpaid balance of $11,530.56 for PSZJs prepetition fees and costs; and (iv) granting any other relief that this Court deems necessary and appropriate.

which PSZJ attorneys have extensive experience. In the insolvency area, PSZJ represents debtors, creditors, equity holders, committees, trustees, landlords, potential acquirers of assets, and other parties with interests in financially distressed businesses. PSZJ has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Delaware and New York, and handles matters throughout the United States. 2. Pursuant to the Order Granting Application of Debtors and Debtors in Possession to
Employ Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as General Bankruptcy Counsel Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date (the Retention Order), entered on May 21, 2009, this Court authorized the Debtors to employ PSZJ as bankruptcy counsel in these proceedings. The terms and conditions of employment and compensation, source of compensation are all set forth in the engagement letter previously filed and approved by the Retention Order. 3. Except as otherwise set forth in this Application, no payments have been made or
11 12
promised to PSZJ for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with these cases other than as may be authorized upon application to and order of this Court. Neither PSZJ nor any shareholders or associates of the Firm has any agreement or any understanding of any kind or nature to divide, pay over, or share any portion of the fees to be awarded with any other person or attorney except among partners and associates of the Firm. 4. The PSZJ attorneys who have been principally responsible for rendering services to
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
the Debtors during this Interim Period have been James I. Stang, Shirley S. Cho, and Werner Disse. Other PSZJ attorneys and staff have rendered services as needed. In general, tasks have been allocated among PSZJs attorneys based upon the comparative expertise of a particular attorney in various aspects of these cases. Whenever feasible, work was allocated to attorneys with lower hourly rates. PSZJ believes that it provided services were provided in an efficient and economic manner. Nevertheless, in the exercise of it billing discretion, PSZJ has written off $12,606.33 in professionals fees and costs incurred by PSZJ during the Interim Period. 5. The following exhibits covering the Interim Period are annexed to this Application:
Exhibit 1 lists the billing rates for all PSZJ professionals who rendered services to the Debtors, and a summary of the hours billed and fees incurred on behalf of the Debtors by each of those persons.

On August 14, 2009, PSZJ filed its First Interim Application for Allowance and
11 12
Payment of Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses as Co-Counsel to the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period of March 31, 2009 through June 30, 2009 [Docket No. 608] (the First Interim Fee Application) seeking allowance of $903,777.76, consisting of services rendered in the amount of $865,249.50 and expenses incurred in the amount of $38,528.26. On August 28, 2009, the United States Trustee filed its objection to the First Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 448] (the UST Objection). The UST Objection was resolved by PSZJ further reducing its fees by $5,204.50. On October 20, 2009, the Court entered an order granting the First Interim Fee Application in the amount of $898,573.26 [Docket No. 612]. On account of such Order, PSZJ was paid the 15% holdback of fees in the amount of $124,500.63. III. SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION REQUEST 7. As set forth in Exhibit 5, during the Interim Period, PSZJ incurred $631,984.00 in
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
fees, representing 1,290.80 hours of service, and $26,521.55 in costs and expenses. PSZJ served monthly fee statements for the months of July, August and September, 2009 on all required parties pursuant to the Interim Compensation Order. No party objected to the monthly fee statements, and the Debtors paid PSZJ eighty-five percent (85%) of the requested fees and one-hundred percent (100%) of the requested expenses in accordance with the Interim Compensation Order. The Debtors have also been provided the monthly fee statements and have approved the monthly fee statements.

PSZJ received advance payments from the Debtors prior to the Petition Date in the
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
amount of $1,159,8932 in connection with its prepetition representation of the Debtors (the Advance Payment Retainer). The payment on account of PSZJs July monthly fee statement was drawn against the retainer held by PSZJ by agreement with the Debtors. Currently, the remaining balance of PSZJs Advance Payment Retainer is $671,830.66. 10. By this Application, PSZJ is also requesting that the Debtors be authorized to pay
PSZJ $11,530.56 from the Advance Payment Retainer on account of prepetition expenses. Just before the Petition Date, PSZJ estimated its prepetition fees and expenses to be $234,978 and paid itself this estimated amount from the Advance Payment Retainer. Based on actual expenses posted after the Petition Date, the amount of prepetition fees and costs was $246,508.56 rather than $234,978.00. As a result, PSZJ underestimated its prepetition costs by $11,530.56 and has not been paid for this amount. Because PSZJ is holding a retainer in excess of the underestimated amount, or $671,830.66, PSZJ respectfully requests that it be allowed to draw down on the Advance Payment Retainer for this amount.
This amount was incorrectly listed as $1,149,893 in PSZJs Application of Debtors and Debtors in Possession to Employ Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as General Bankruptcy Counsel Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date [Docket Number 37] (the Employment Application).

IV. GENERAL BACKGROUND AND NARRATIVE HISTORY OF CASE A. General Background Rhodes Homes and its affiliated entities are engaged primarily in the business of
8 9 10
12.
home building and sales in Nevada and Arizona. Rhodes Homes is a leading Nevada home builder and has developed 40 communities since its founding in 1988, generating over $2.4 billion in total revenues. Rhodes Homes has built more than 6,000 homes in the Las Vegas Valley during the past two decades. In addition, the Debtors operate ancillary businesses. Tuscany Golf Country Club, LLC, one of the Debtors, owns and operates an 18-hole golf course, which is the center of the Tuscany Residential Village development. Pinnacle Grading, LLC, another Debtor, provides grading and excavation services to the Debtors and third parties. 13. Although the Debtors had made significant cost reductions in general overhead and
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
other areas, including employee layoffs, the severe downturn of the Las Vegas market, significant supply overhang, and general economic malaise have combined to create an environment where the Debtors were unable to meet their March 2009 debt and amortization payments. Despite several months of pre-petition negotiation efforts with senior secured lenders, a forbearance deal was not timely reached. 14. On March 31, 2009, the above-captioned Debtors (the Primary Filers) except
Tuscany Golf Country Club, LLC, Pinnacle Grading, LLC, and Rhodes Homes Arizona, LLC (the Secondary Filers) filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. On April 1, 2009, the Secondary Filers filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. All references to Petition Date herein shall mean March 31, 2009 for the Primary Filers or April 1, 2009 for the Secondary Filers, as applicable. The Debtors are continuing in possession of their property and are operating and managing their businesses, as debtors in possession, pursuant to
73203-002\DOCS_LA:210391.2
Case 09-14814-lbr
Doc 729-2
Entered 11/13/09 17:25:08
Page 7 of 27

sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have paid all invoices received to the United States Trustee and have filed all monthly operating reports for 32 entities. 15. On April 13, 2009, the Court granted the Debtors Motion for Joint Administration of
Related Chapter 11 Cases and Setting Single Bar Date and Meeting of Creditors (the Joint Administration Motion). Pursuant to the Joint Administration Motion, these cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only. 16. On May 26, 2009 the Court appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
(the Creditors Committee) pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Debtors jointly administered cases. B. Progress Towards Reorganization During the Interim Period, PSZJ spent the most time for work under the Plan and
11 12
17.
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
Disclosure Statement category, or $254,333.00. In response to the Debtors request for an extension of their exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and solicit acceptances thereon, the First Lien Steering Committee objected. The exclusivity extension motion was resolved by the Debtors agreeing to terminate exclusivity in exchange for the First Lien Steering Committees agreement to mediate before a neutral third party. On July 21, 2009, this Court approved the stipulation by all key parties (the Creditors Committee, the First Lien Steering Committee, the First Lien Agent, the Second Lien Agent, and the non-Debtor Rhodes Entities) agreeing to mediate in exchange for the termination of exclusivity. [Docket No. 336] 18. Accordingly, during the Interim Period, PSZJ coordinated the format of the
mediation, prepared the Debtors mediation statement, and participated in a mediation preconference with Judge Neiter. PSZJ also responded to information requests from Judge Neiter and spent time preparing a mediation presentation for the mediation itself outlining the key issues at the suggestion of Judge Neiter. The mediation occurred on August 17, 2009, August 24, 2009 and August 25, 2009 before the Honorable Richard Neiter, Central District of California, in Los Angeles. PSZJ participated in the mediation on behalf of the Debtors.

Both prior to and after the mediation, the Debtors continued negotiations with the key
mediation parties regarding the structure of a consensual plan. PSZJ conducted analysis into various issues concerning the proposed plan structure. After the mediation, several rounds of term sheets were exchanged for several weeks, ultimately culminating in the final term sheet that was signed on September 25, 2009. 20. During the Interim Period, PSZJ also reviewed and commented on several drafts of
the consensual plan and disclosure statement, which were also filed on September 25, 2009. PSZJ also reviewed ancillary documents relating to the plan, such as the plan timeline, the solicitation motion, and solicitation order. C. Other Majority Activity During the Second Interim Fee Period PSZJ spent the second most amount of time during the Interim Period for work under
11 12
21.
the Claims Analysis and Objection category, or $113,291.00. PSZJ worked closely with the Debtors in reviewing and reconciling the over 460 claims filed in these cases. During the Interim Period, PSZJ sent out dozens of letters to creditors asking them to withdraw or amend their filed claims as appropriate, resulting in 88 claim withdrawal or amendment forms being filed totaling $1,465,650.43 in reduction of filed claims against the Debtors estates. PSZJ also filed 5 claim objections to filed claims, resulting in a disallowance of 8 claims totaling $1,037,327.90. 22. Additionally, the IRS filed over $2.8 million in claims during the Interim Period, of
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
which the Debtors were able to obtain a reduction of over $1.2 million in IRS claims. In total, PSZJ assisted the Debtors in obtaining a reduction of $8.7 million of claims during the Interim Period (including the amounts discussed in the next paragraph). 23. PSZJ spent the third most amount of time during the Interim Period for work under
the Stay Litigation category, or $61,442.50. PSZJ worked on six relief from stay requests during the Interim Period. In three cases, PSZJ coordinated the consensual lifting of the stay to allow various settlements to proceed and in connection therewith, negotiated the stipulations for lifting the stay resulting in the withdrawal of 41 claims associated with the litigation totaling more than $5 million, and drafted the corresponding motions to approve 9019 settlements. PSZJ also coordinated the lift stay of two other relief from stay requests where the claimant sought relief to pursue insurance

proceeds. Finally, PSZJ opposed a relief from stay request filed by Harsch Investments, which motion has been continued from time to time at the request of movants counsel. V. SUMMARY OF SERVICES RENDERED A. Project Billing and Narrative Statement of Services In accordance with the Fee Guidelines, PSZJ classified all services performed for
6 7 8 9 10
24.
which compensation is being sought into categories. PSZJ attempted to place the services performed for which compensation in the category that best relates to the service provided. However, because certain services may relate to one or more categories, services pertaining to one category may, in fact, be included in another category. PSZJ has established the following billing categories and used such categories in these cases: 25. B. Asset Analysis Avoidance Actions Asset Disposition Bankruptcy Litigation Case Administration Claims Analysis/Objection Compensation of Professionals Compensation of Professionals/Others Employee Benefit/Pension Executory Contracts Email Exchange Fee/Employment Applications Financial Filings Financing General Creditors Committee Hearings Insurance Coverage Litigation (Non-Bankruptcy) Operations Plan and Disclosure Statement Retention of Professionals/Other Stay Litigation Travel

A.
Factors in Evaluating Requests for Compensation
Pursuant to section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Court may award to a professional person, reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered, and reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses incurred. 11 U.S.C. 330. As set forth above, the fees for which the Firm requests compensation and the costs incurred for which the Firm requests reimbursement are for actual and necessary services rendered and costs incurred. The professional services rendered by the Firm have required an expenditure of substantial time and effort. During the Interim Period, in excess of 1,290.80 hours have been recorded by members of the Firm, and additional hours of work were incurred and was written off. The Firms blended hourly rate in this case for the Interim Period, including paraprofessionals, is $489.61. Moreover, time and labor devoted is only one of many pertinent factors in determining an award of fees and costs. Based on the skills brought to bear in this case by the Firm and the results obtained and in light of the accepted lodestar approach, the Firm submits that the compensation requested herein is reasonable and appropriate. B. The Lodestar Award Should Be Calculated by Multiplying a Reasonable Hourly Rate by the Hours Expended
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
In determining the amount of allowable fees under section 330(a), courts are to be guided by the same general principles as are to be applied in determining awards under the federal feeshifting statutes, with some accommodation to the peculiarities of bankruptcy matters. Burgess v. Klenske (In re Manoa Finance Co.), 853 F.2d 687, 691 (9th Cir. 1988); see also In re Schaeffer, 71 B.R. 559, 563 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 1987). Twelve factors relevant to determining such fees were identified in Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714, 717-719 (5th Cir. 1974) (a Title VII class action case under the Civil Rights Act of 1964), and Kerr v. Screen Extras Guild, Inc., 526 F. 2d 67, 70 (9th Cir. 1975): (1) the time and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly, (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case, (5) the customary fee, (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent, (7) time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances, (8) the amount involved and the results obtained, (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, (10) the undesirability of the case, (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the

client, and (12) awards in similar cases. See American Benefit Life v. Baddock (In re First Colonial Corp.), 544 F.2d 1291 (5th Cir. 1977), (Johnson criteria applicable in bankruptcy cases). While the Johnson and Kerr courts only offered guidelines as to relevant factors, in 1984, the Supreme Court, in enunciating guidelines to determine reasonable fees under the Civil Rights Attorneys Fees Award Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. 1988, held: The initial estimate of a reasonable attorneys fee is properly calculated by multiplying the number of hours reasonably expended on the litigation times a reasonable hourly rate. Adjustments to that fee then may be made as necessary in the particular case. Blum vs. Stenson, 465 U.S. 886 (1984) (citation omitted). This is the so-called lodestar calculation. While the lodestar approach is the primary basis for determining fee awards under the federal fee-shifting statutes and under the Bankruptcy Code, the other factors still apply in calculating the appropriate hourly rate to use under the lodestar approach. For example, when, in Boddy v. Bankruptcy Court (In re Boddy), 950 F.2d 334, 337 (6th Cir. 1991), the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an approach to fees (in chapter 13 cases) that dictated only a normal and customary fee should be awarded absent exceptional results, the Sixth Circuit nonetheless acknowledged that: The court can legitimately take into account the typical compensation that is adequate for attorneys fees in Chapter 13 cases, as long as it expressly discusses these factors in light of the reasonable hours worked and a reasonable hourly rate. The bankruptcy court also may exercise its discretion to consider other factors such as the novelty and difficulty of the issues, the special skills of counsel, the results obtained, and whether the fee awarded is commensurate with fees for similar professional services in non-bankruptcy cases in the local area. 950 F.2d at 338. Thus, the twelve oft-cited Johnson and Kerr factors remain relevant: 1. The Time and Labor Required: The time for which compensation is sought is set
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
forth in detail in the exhibits hereto. In light of the scope of services rendered and the results achieved during the Interim Period, the Firms services and time expenditures are reasonable. 2. The Novelty and Difficulty of the Questions Involved: The case included a number
of matters and issues requiring a high degree of knowledge and skill.

3.
The Skill Requisite to Perform the Legal Services Properly: The Firm believes its
professionals have exhibited a high level of skill in representing the Debtors and dealing with issues and disputes regarding investigation of assets and claims, and litigation. 4. The Preclusion of Other Employment by the Attorney Due to the Acceptance of the
Case: The case involved a number of matters and issues that required substantial amounts of time clearly precluding the acceptance of alternative employment as to the many hours worked. 5. The Customary Fee: The compensation the Firm seeks by way of this Application is
the customary compensation sought by the Firm and other professionals representing trustees, committees, and debtors in similar circumstances. In addition to write offs of charges typically billed by the Firm to private clients but not typically permitted by this Court and in addition to time for which attorneys and paralegals of the Firm elected not to bill, the Firm has additionally voluntarily reduced its total fee request by $12,606.33. 6. Whether the Fee Is Fixed or Contingent: The Firm seeks fixed compensation based
11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
on the lodestar formula, which it believes is appropriate in this case. 7. Time Limitations Imposed by the Circumstances: The time demands on the Firm
have varied during the Fee Period, and have included some periods of time where the Firms attorneys had to work very extensive hours for a number of the matters that arose during the Fee Period. 8. The Amount Involved and the Results Obtained: The Firm obtained demonstrable
results for its work and the amounts incurred were reasonable and appropriate. 9. The Experience, Reputation and Abilities of the Firm: The experience, reputation,
and abilities of the Firms attorneys are well known and respected in this community. 10. 11. The Undesirability of This Case: This case was not undesirable. The Nature and Length of the Professional Relationship with the Client: Applicant
has represented the Debtors since December 2008. 12. Awards in Similar Cases: The award Applicant seeks in this case is similar to
awards that counsel has received in similar cases. Exhibit 5 is a copy of the Firms time reports and records kept in the regular course of business reflecting the services rendered and the expenses

incurred by the Firm during the Interim Period. The time reports are organized on a daily basis. The Firm 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. The Firms charges for its professional services are based upon the time, nature, extent and value of such services, and the cost of comparable services in this area, other than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. The Firms charges for its professional services are based upon the time, nature, extent and value of such services, and the cost of comparable services in the Los Angeles area other than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. The Firm customarily charges its clients only for copying charges, facsimile transmissions, postage, and unusual expenses, i.e., travel, court costs, electronic research and special delivery services, including Federal Express. In-house photocopying for this case is charged at $.10 per copy; for voluminous photocopying projects, the Firm uses an outside service, and passes through the actual charge. Similarly, electronic research, court costs, and messenger, mail and other delivery charges are passed through at actual charge. Facsimile transmission for this case is charged at $1.00 per page for outgoing faxes, and $.10 cents per page for incoming faxes. The requested fees and expenses shall be paid from the estate only as and when available. As of the date of this Application, PSZJ is informed that the Debtors are holding in their trust accounts in excess of $5 million.

VIII. CONCLUSION PSZJ believes that the services rendered for which compensation is sought by this Application have been beneficial to the estates, that the costs incurred have been necessary and proper, and that the sums requested for the services rendered and costs incurred are fair and reasonable. The interim compensation sought in this Application is not final. Upon the conclusion of this case, PSZJ will seek final approval of fees and costs for the totality of the services rendered in this

case. Any interim fees approved by the Court and received by PSZJ will be credited against such final fees and costs as this Court may allow. WHEREFORE, PSZJ respectfully requests that this Court, issues an order: (i) allowing PSZJ interim compensation for services rendered and expenses incurred during the Interim Period in the amount of $658,505.55 representing services rendered in the amount of $631,984.00 and expenses incurred in the amount of $26,521.55 (ii) authorizing and directing the Debtors to pay the unpaid balance of that amount, $94,797.60 to PSZJ; (iii) authorizing and directing the Debtors to pay PSZJ the unpaid balance of $11,530.56 for PSZJs prepetition fees and costs; and (iv) granting any other relief that this Court deems necessary and appropriate.
