#10922474 v21
Summary of Services Rendered and Expenses Incurred
6. Applicant has rendered services from November 1,2010 through
November 30,2010 in the amount of33.90 hours.
7. Applicant maintains contemporaneous records of the time expended for the
professional services and expenses related thereto performed in connection with this Cha:{'ter 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
$11,306.50 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 November
1, 2010 through November 30, 2010 are reasonably worth the sum of $11 ,306.50 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: 1.80, total fees $543.00) This category
includes time spent by Applicant attending to coordination and compliance activities in
-3
#10922474 v21
connection with the performance ofits duties as Delaware counsel for the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.
b. Court Hearings (Total hours: .70, total fees $188.50) This category includes
time spent by Applicant coordinating participation ofcounsel at hearing and communicating
with counsel re same.
c. Fees (Total hours: 8.60, total fees $1,859.00) This category includes time
spent by Applicant drafting andfiling certificates ofno objection re previous fee application,
drafting, filing and serving ofOctober 2010 monthly fee application, responding to fee auditor's

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.
10. As outlined above, the attorneys who worked on this case from November
1, 2010 through November 30, 2010 have various levels of expertise. From time to time these
-4
#10922474 v21
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 November 1,2010
through November 30, 2010 in the sum of$229.02 as set forth in the summary identified as
