1, 2010 through May 31, 2010 (the "Interim Period"). In support of this Application, Pepper

Background

Summary of Services Rendered and Expenses Incurred
6. Applicant has rendered services from May 1, 2010 through May 31, 2010
in the amount of 15.20 hours.
7. Applicant maintains contemporaneous records of the time expended for the
professional services and expenses related thereto performed in connection with this Chapter 11
case and such records are maintained in the ordinary course of its business. These records
provide a detailed description of the services rendered and expenses incurred during the period
for which this Application is being made. A summary of Applicant's time records in the sum of
$3,669.50 is attached hereto as Exhibit B. This summary is broken down according to specific
task categories relating specifically to this Chapter 11 case. In some cases, Applicant found a
situation where the task of a professional may fit into two or more categories. In these cases,
Applicant has tried to categorize the time expended into the most appropriate category. If the
Court requires any further descriptions on these time entries, Applicant will provide additional
information.
8. Applicant believes that the post-petition services for the period May 1,
2010 through May 31, 2010 are reasonably worth the sum of $3,669.50 as set forth in the
summary identified as Exhibit B. Applicant notes that these costs are customary charges made to
other firm clients in the ordinary course of its billing practice. To assist the Court in its review of
the fees sought by Applicant, Applicant has separated its time entries in Exhibit B into the
following categories:
a. Case Administration (Total hours: 1.30, total fees $69.00) This category
includes time spent by Applicant attending to coordination and compliance activities in

#10922474 vl5
connection with the performance ofits duties as Delaware counsel for the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.
b. Court Hearings (Total hours: 2.00, total fees $741.00) This category includes
time spent by Applicant attending omnibus hearing andpreparingfor same, along with other
related tasks.

f. Contested Matters/Motions (Total hours: 1.40, total fees $553.00) This
category includes time spent by Applicant communicating with counsel various outstanding
motions.
g. Claims Administration - General (Total hours: .30, total fees $118.50) This
category includes time spent by Applicant reviewing claim settlement.
9. The attorneys who primarily worked on this case occasionally found it
necessary to consult with other attorneys in the firm on various aspects of the case. A brief
biography of each of the primary attorneys, along with a description of their areas of expertise, is
set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit C.
-4
#10922474 vl5
10. As outlined above, the attorneys who worked on this case from May 1,
2010 through May 31, 2010 have various levels of expertise. From time to time these attorneys
consulted with each other and other attorneys on different aspects of the case. It is submitted that
this is a more efficient way to run a case than to expect a single attorney to be an expert in all
applicable areas oflaw. If a single attorney were to attempt to run a case such as this, the
attorney would have to learn through research what other attorneys know and can tell him based
on their years of knowledge and experience.
11. Applicant requires reimbursement of costs expended May 1, 2010 through
May 31,2010 in the sum of$238.78 as set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit D.
Applicant notes that these costs are customary charges made to other firm clients in the ordinary
course of its billing practice.
12. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the
Bankruptcy Code, it is respectfully submitted that the amount requested is fair and reasonable
given (a) the complexity of the case, (b) the time expended, (c) the nature and the extent of the
rendered, (d) the value of such services, and (e) the costs of comparable services other
than in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, Applicant has reviewed the requirements
of Del. Bankr. LR 2016 and the Administrative Order and believes that this Application complies
with such Rule and Order.
WHEREFORE, your Applicant respectfully requests, for the period May 1, 2010
through May 31, 2010, an interim allowance be made for compensation in the amount of
$3669.50 and actual and necessary expenses in the amount of$238.78 for a total allowance of
$3,908.28 and payment of$2,935.60 (80% of the allowed fees) and reimbursement of$238.78
-5
#109224i4 vl5
(100% of the allowed expenses) be authorized for a total payment of$3,174.38 for such other and
further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
