Jurisdiction 1. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1334.

This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 157 (b)(2). 2. 3. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105(a),

327(a) and 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101-1330 (the Bankruptcy Code), Rules 2014, 2016 and 5002 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure

(the Bankruptcy Rules) and Rule 2014-1 of the Local Rules for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the Local Rules). Background 4. On May 17, 2005 (the Petition Date), the Debtors filed their voluntary

petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their businesses and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these cases. On the Petition Date, the Court entered an order jointly administering these cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). 5. On May 24, 2005, the United States Trustee appointed an official

committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Committee). 6. The Debtors and their non-debtor affiliates are leading global suppliers of

automotive components, systems and modules to all of the worlds largest vehicle manufacturers, including DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, Honda Motor Company, Inc., Nissan Motor Company Unlimited, Porsche Cars GB, Renault Crateur DAutomobiles, Toyota SA and Volkswagen AG. 2
K&E 10743643.8

7.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have begun to evaluate all of their

outstanding leases and property interests to determine the appropriate disposition of such leases. The Debtors have determined to restructure or renegotiate certain of these leases. For instance, for the Debtors headquarters in Troy, Michigan, the Debtors have determined to either restructure the underlying lease or reject the underlying lease and relocate such headquarters. In addition, the Debtors may decide to dispose of certain leases or property interests if it becomes apparent that such disposition is in the best interests of the estates. 8. As part of this process, the Debtors have determined that they require the

services of professional consultants in order to maximize the benefits of this process to the Debtors estates. As such, the Debtors entered into that certain Real Estate Retention Agreement with an effective date of August 8, 2005 (the Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) with the Consultants. Relief Requested 9. By this Application, the Debtors seek entry of an order pursuant to

sections 327(a) and 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2014(a), 2016 and 5002 and Local Rule 2014-1 authorizing the employment and retention of the Consultants as real estate consultants to the Debtors in these cases upon the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement and approving the terms of the Consultants employment nunc pro tunc to August 8, 2005, including the proposed fee structure, set forth in the Agreement. 10. The Consultants will work with the Debtors to: (a) restructure and

renegotiate the Debtors real estate leases; (b) restructure or replace the Debtors headquarters in Troy, Michigan; and (c) if the Debtors so request, dispose of the Debtors excess real property interests.

12.

The Debtors and the Office of the United States Trustee agreed that,

subject to the Courts approval, the Consultants would be compensated pursuant to the process set forth herein, notwithstanding the provisions of the Administrative Order Establishing Procedures for Monthly Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals and Official Committee Members entered on June 9, 2005 [Docket No. 290] (the Interim Compensation Order) and other applicable law.

The Consultants will file Interim Fee Statements (as defined in the Interim Compensation Order) and a final fee statement pursuant to the Interim Compensation Order and applicable law. The Interim Fee Statements will contain reasonably detailed descriptions of the services rendered and the work performed by the Consultants during the period for which compensation is sought. Additionally, the Consultants will be paid without having to separately seek approval of compensation if such compensation has already been approved by the Court in connection with the approval of a transaction that results in such commission. 13. The Consultants have formed a joint venture for the limited purpose of

providing services to the Debtors as described herein. Compensation earned by the Consultants

5
K&E 10743643.8

is being shared among the Consultants and their employees pursuant to the joint venture and is not being shared with any undisclosed entities. Disinterestedness 14. As required by Bankruptcy Rule 2014 and Local Rule 2014-1, each of the

Consultants has submitted an affidavit setting forth each Consultants connections with the Debtors, creditors, parties in interest, the U.S. Trustee and any person employed in the Office of the U.S. Trustee (collectively, the Affidavits, which are attached hereto as Exhibit C and Exhibit D). 15. To the best of each Consultants knowledge and except as disclosed in the

Affidavits, each of the Consultants: (a) does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors estates; and (b) is a disinterested person as that term is defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 16. To the best of the Debtors knowledge, the Consultants (a) do not have

any connection with any of the Debtors, their affiliates, their creditors or any other party in interest or their respective attorneys and accountants, (b) are disinterested persons as that term is defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and (c) do not hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtors or their estates, except as set forth in the Affidavits. Basis for Relief 17. Section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code governs a debtors employment of

professional persons to represent the debtor in possession in carrying out its duties under the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. 327(a). 18. The Debtors seek approval of the Agreement pursuant to section 328(a) of

the Bankruptcy Code, which provides, in relevant part, that the Debtors with the courts 6
K&E 10743643.8

approval, may employ or authorize the employment of a professional person under section 327 . . . on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment. . . . 11 U.S.C. 328(a). 19. Section 328 of the Bankruptcy Code permits the compensation of

professionals on flexible terms that reflect the nature of their services and market conditions. As the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recognized in In re National Gypsum Co., 123 F.3d 861, 862 (5th Cir. 1997) (citations omitted): Prior to 1978, the most able professionals were often unwilling to work for bankruptcy estates where their compensation would be subject to the uncertainties of what a judge thought the work was worth after it had been done. The uncertainty continues under the present 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that the court award to professional consultants reasonable compensation based on relevant factors of time and comparable costs, etc. Under present 328 the professionals may avoid that uncertainty by obtaining court approval of compensation agreed to with the trustee (or debtor or committee). Id. at 862. 20. Notwithstanding approval of their engagement under section 328 of the

Bankruptcy Code, the Consultants intend to apply to the Court for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the procedures described in paragraph 12 and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Rules. 21. The Consultants have significant experience negotiating and renegotiating

leases and disposing of property interests, in both distressed and non-distressed situations. The Debtors believe that the Consultants are well-qualified and able to provide the services to the Debtors in a cost-effective, efficient and timely manner. The Consultants have indicated a willingness to act on behalf of the Debtors with respect to the services and to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and supervision of the Court.

7
K&E 10743643.8

22.

The Agreement appropriately reflects the nature and scope of the services

and the Consultants substantial experience with respect to the services and is consistent with the fee structures typically utilized by the Consultants and other similar professionals, who do not bill their clients on an hourly basis. In addition, the Consultants have utilized similar fixed and contingency fee arrangements in other large chapter 11 cases in this circuit and in other circuits. See e.g., In re Organized Living, Inc., Case No. 05-57620 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio July 6, 2005); In re Amcast Industrial Corp., Case No. 04-40504 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio June 6, 2005); In re The Perfect Picture Corp., Case No. 05-11563 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. March 23, 2005); In re GGC, L.L.C., Case No. 05-21071 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. June 21, 2005); In re The Brown Schools, Inc., Case. No. 0510841 (Bankr. D. Del. May 27, 2005); In re Buehler Foods, Inc., Case No. 05-70961 (Bankr. S.D. Ind. June 13, 2005). 23. To maximize the cost savings to the Debtors that will result from the

services provided by the Consultants during the finalization of the Agreement and due to in part to the Debtors focus on negotiations with their Customers, the Debtors have requested, and the Consultants have agreed, that the Consultants begin work prior to the filing of this Application. Accordingly, the Debtors are requesting that the Court approve the Consultants employment and retention nunc pro tunc to August 8, 2005. Notice 24. Notice of this Application has been given to the Primary Service List as

required by the Case Management Procedures.3 In light of the nature of the relief requested, the Debtors submit that no further notice is required.

Capitalized terms used in this paragraph 24 not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the First Amended Notice, Case Management and Administrative Procedures filed on June 9, 2005 [Docket No. 294].
