1030293.01 308/06/09

Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from May 1, 2009 through May 31, 2009 (the
2
"Application").

By this Application Rutan seeks a monthly interim allowance of compensation in

the amount of $120,999.50 and actual and necessary expenses in the amount of $372.81

for a total allowance of $121,372.31, and payment of $96,799.60 (80% of the allowed
~ fees) and reimbursement of$372.81 (100% of

the allowed expenses) for a total payment

of$97,172.41 for the period May 1,2009 through May 31, 2009 (the "Interim Period").

In support of this Application, Rutan respectfully represents as follows:

Background

1. On March 9, 2009 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors fied voluntary


petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors continue in

possession of their properties and continues to operate and manage their business as
debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of

the Banruptcy Code. A

Committee of Unsecured Creditors ("Committee") was appointed on or about March 19,


2009. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases.
2. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157

and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 D.S.C. 157(b)(2).

3. On or about April 8, 2009, the Court entered the Administrative Order,

authorizing certain professionals ("Professionals") to submit monthly applications for

interim compensation and reimbursement for expenses, pursuant to the procedures


specified therein. The Administrative Order provides, among other things, that a

Professional may submit monthly fee applications. If no objections are made within

As state below, this amendment corrects an error relating to travel time billed

2123/023353-0031
1030293.01 008/06/09

-2-

twenty (20) days after service of the monthly fee application the Debtors are authorized

to pay the Professional eighty percent (80%) of the requested fees and one hundred
percent (100%) of the requested expenses. Beginning with the period ending May 31,

2009, at three-month intervals, each Professional shall file and serve an interim

application for allowance of the amounts sought in its monthly fee applications for that

period. All fees and expenses paid are on an interim basis until final allowance by the
Court.

4. The retention of Rutan, as special corporate and litigation counsel to the

Debtors, was approved effective as of the Petition Date by this Court's "Order Granting
Debtors' Application Pursuant to Sections 105(A), 327, 328, and 330 of the Bankruptcy

Code Authorizing Debtors to Retain, Employ and Compensate Rutan & Tucker, LLP as
Special Corporation and Litigation Counsel," entered on or about May 1, 2009 (the
"Retention Order"). The Retention Order authorized Rutan to be compensated on an

hourly basis and to be reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses.

RUTAN'S APPLICATION FOR COMPENSATION AND FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES

Compensation Paid and Its Source


5. All services for which Rutan requests compensation were performed for or

on behalf of the Debtors.


6. Rutan has received no payment and no promises for payment from any
source other than the Debtors for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity

whatsoever in connection with the matters covered by this Application. There is no

agreement or understanding between Rutan and any other person other than the parners

by Gregg Amber.

2123/023353-0031
1030293.01 a08106109

of Rutan for the sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in this case.
7. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors provided Rutan with a retainer to

secure payment of the fees owed to it by the Debtors and the expenses incurred by Rutan

on the Debtors' behalf. Rutan received payments from the Debtors during the year prior

to the Petition Date in the amount of $2,437,169.16. After the Petition Date, Rutan
obtained the Court's permission to draw on its pre-petition retainer to pay the amounts
owing to it as of the Petition Date. The balance of

the prepetition retainer was credited to

the Debtors and is being utilized as Rutan's retainer against postpetition fees and
expenses pursuant to the compensation procedures approved by this Court and the
Bankruptcy Code.
8. This is Rutan's third monthly fee application. In its first monthly fee

application (for the period of March 9, 2009, to March 3 i, 2009), Rutan sought approval
of $102,732.50 in fees and $1,389.62 in expenses. Under the Administrative Order,

Rutan received approval of$82,186.00 in fees and $1,389.62 in expenses with respect to

its first monthly fee application. In its second monthly fee application (for the period of
April 1, 2009, to April 30, 2009), Rutan sought approval of $124,537.50 in fees and

$10,542.35 in expenses. Under the Administrative Order, Rutan's received approval of

$96,224.80 in fees and $10,542.35 in expenses.

Fee Statements
"

Rutan's billing statements for the Interim Period are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
i

These statements contain daily time logs describing the time spent by each attorney and
paraprofessional during the Interim Period. To the best of Rutan's knowledge, this

Application complies with sections 330 and 331 of the Bankrptcy Code, the Federal

2 i 23/023353-003 i

1030293.0 I a08/06/09

-4-

Rules of Banruptcy Procedure, this Court's Local Rules, and the Administrative Order.3

Rutan's time reports are either (a) initially handwritten by the attorney or paralegal
performing the described services and then entered into Rutan's computerized biling
program by an administrative assistant or (b) entered directly into Rutan's computerized
billing program by the attorney or paralegal performing the described services. The time
reports are then organized on a daily basis. Rutan is sensitive to issues of "lumping" and,

unless time was spent in one time frame on a variety of different matters for a paricular

client, separate time entries are set forth in the time reports. Rutan's charges for its
professional services are based upon the time, nature, extent and value of such services
and the cost of comparable services other than in a case under the Bankuptcy Code.

Actual and Necessary Expenses

9. A summary of actual and necessary expenses incurred by Rutan for the

Interim Period is attached hereto as part of Exhibit A. Receipts for certain of the
expenses that Rutan incurred on Debtors' behalf and for which it seeks reimbursement
are attached hereto as Exhibit B.

10. Rutan charges $0.10 per page for photocopying expenses related to cases,

such as this one, arising in Delaware. Rutan's photocopying machines automatically

record the number of copies made when the person that is doing the copying enters the

client's account number into a device attached to the photocopier. Rutan summarizes

t
3 Rutan has amended this fee application to ensure such compliance. Rutan's
original application sought fees for the time Gregg Amber spent travelling to, and returning from, Hong Kong with certain of Debtor's officers and/or directors to, among other things, attend meeting with Polytec's representatives. Initially, Mr. Amber biled Debtor for approximately half of the time he spent travelling at his
normal hourly rate. In this application, Mr. Amber has biled Debtor for all of the time he spent travel at half of his normal rate.

each client's photocopying charges on a daily basis.


i 1. Rutan charges $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each additional page

of out-going facsimile transmissions. There is no additional charge for long distance


telephone calls on faxes. The charge for outgoing facsimile transmissions reflects

Rutan's calculation of the actual costs incurred by Rutan for the machines, supplies, and
extra labor expenses associated with sending facsimile transmissions and is reasonable in

relation to the amount charged by outside vendors who provide similar services. Rutan
does not charge the Debtors for the receipt of faxes in this case.

12. With respect to providers of on-line legal research services ~, LEXIS


and WESTLA W), Rutan charges the standard usage rates these providers charge for

computerized legal research. Rutan bils its clients the actual amounts charged by such
services, with no premium. Any volume discount received by Rutan is passed on to the
client.
13. Rutan believes the foregoing rates are the market rates that the majority of

law firms charge clients for such services. In addition, Rutan believes that such charges
are in accordance with the American Bar Association's ("ABA") guidelines, as set forth

in the ABA's Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding biling for
disbursements and other charges.

Summary of Services Rendered


i 4. The names of the partners and associates of Rutan who have rendered

professional services in these cases during the Interim Period, and the paralegals and case

management assistants of Rutan who provided services to these attorneys during the
Interim Period, are set forth in the attached Exhibit A.

2 i 23/023353-0031

counsel, has advised the Debtors on a regular basis with respect to various corporate and

litigation matters in connection with the Debtors' bankruptcy cases, and performed all
