On April 8, 2009, the Administrative Order Establishing Procedures for Allowance and Payment of Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses to Professionals was entered. -2 #10922474 vl8 Summary of Services Rendered and Expenses Incurred 6. Applicant has rendered services from August 1,2010 through August 31, 2010 in the amount of 27.40 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 $8,428.00 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 August 1, 2010 through August 31,2010 are reasonably worth the sum of$8,428.00 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: 2.80, total fees $454.00) This category includes time spent by Applicant attending to coordination and compliance activities in -3 #10922474 vl8 connection with the performance ofits duties as Delaware counsel for the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors. b.

As outlined above, the attorneys who worked on this case from August 1, 2010 through August 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 of law. 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 August 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010 in the sum of$171.05 as set forth in the summary identified as Exhibit D.
