Bankruptcy Procedure, the Local Rules of Court for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee (the "Local Rules"), the United States Trustee's Guidelines for Fees and Disbursements issued by the Office of the United States Trustee, and such other procedures as may be fixed by order of this Court, for professional services rendered and expenses incurred by Baker Donelson. The current hourly rates charged by Baker Donelson for attorneys and paralegals are set forth in the Rowland Declaration. 8. Baker Donelson has conducted a conflicts check (the "Conflicts Check") based on

the filings in the case and information provided by the proposed counsel for CSHM and its affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the "Debtors"). The categories of interested parties on the list which Baker Donelson checked are the Debtors and their affiliates, the Debtors' officers and directors, the Debtors' secured creditors, and the Debtors' 20 largest unsecured creditors (the parties in interest so listed are referred to hereinafter collectively as the "Parties In Interest"). As set forth in the Rowland Declaration, to the best of his knowledge, Baker Donelson does not represent any of the Parties In Interest. 9. Baker Donelson employs non-attorney public policy professionals as part of its

business operations. In September of 2011, CSHM entered into a consulting agreement with Baker Donelson's public policy group seeking non-legal guidance and advisory services concerning matters wholly unrelated to any issues involved in the pending Chapter 11 proceedings. As set forth in the Rowland Declaration, such matters were limited to government lobbying and related advisory services within the State of Tennessee. The consulting

arrangement called for CSHM's payment of a recurring retainer of $1500 per month over the 1year term of the agreement. As of the Petition Date, no substantive work had been performed by Baker Donelson under the consulting arrangement. No legal services were provided to CSHM 7

under the consulting arrangement and no Baker Donelson attorneys had any involvement in the engagement by the Firm's public policy professionals. As of the Petition Date, the firm was owed approximately $3100 under the agreement. The public policy group's engagement has ceased. Further, Baker Donelson has obtained a waiver from CSHM acknowledging that no legal services were provided by the firm under the engagement, that CSHM consents to Baker Donelson's representation of the Committee in the case, and that CSHM waives any actual or potential conflict that would arise in connection with Baker Donelson's role as counsel to the Committee. Further, Baker Donelson has waived any claims under the consulting agreement, including any claim for amounts due as of the Petition Date. 10. To the best of the Committee's knowledge, information, and belief (and consistent

with the Rowland Declaration), Baker Donelson is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code in that Baker Donelson: (a) has waived any claim as described in paragraph 9 above, and is not an equity security holder, or an insider; is not and was not, within two years before the date of the filing of the petition, a director, officer, or employee of CSHM; does not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the estate or of any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, CSHM, or for any other reason; and pursuant to 11 U.S.C. section 1103(b) Baker Donelson does not and will not represent any party other than the Committee in connection with the Chapter 11 Case.

No member of Baker Donelson is related to any United States District Judge or

United States Bankruptcy Judge in the Middle District of Tennessee, or to the United States Trustee for such district or any employee in the office thereof.

It is the carefully considered view of the Committee that, taking into account the

facts of this case and the various interests involved, representation of the Committee by Baker Doneslon is appropriate and advisable. To the best of the Committee's knowledge, information, and belief (and consistent with the Rowland Declaration), Baker Donelson represents no interest adverse to the Committee or CSHM's estate which would preclude it from acting as counsel to the Committee in the matters upon which it is to be engaged. 13. Based on the foregoing, the employment of Baker Donelson by the Committee is

necessary, would be in the best interests of the Committee and CSHM's estate, and complies with sections 328 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code. 14. Baker Donelson commenced performing services for the Committee on March 1,

2012, the day Baker Donelson was selected to represent the Committee in CSHM's chapter 11 case. Accordingly, the Committee respectfully requests that the retention of Baker Donelson be authorized nunc pro tunc and/or retroactively, effective as of March 1, 2012. 15. No previous application for the relief requested herein has been made to this or

any other Court. NOTICE 16. In accordance with Local Rule 2014-1, notice of this Application has been given

to the following parties or, in lieu thereof, to their counsel, if known: (a) the Debtors; (b) the Debtors' counsel; (c) the United States Trustee for the Middle District of Tennessee; (d) the Debtors' 10 largest unsecured creditors; (e) the Tennessee Attorney General; (f) all of the known creditors of the Debtors asserting secured claims; and (g) all parties that have requested personal notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested herein, the Committee submits that no further notice of this Application is necessary or required. 9
