January 1, 2016 through January 31, 2016 (the "Interim Period"). In support of this Application,

PSZ&J respectfully represents as follows:

Background

1. On August 9, 2015 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtor filed a voluntary

petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor continues in possession

of its property and continues to operate and manage its business as a debtor in possession

pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee or examiner has been

appointed in the Debtor's 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 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).

3. On August 25, 2015, the United States Trustee for Region 3 appointed the

Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") to represent the interests of all

unsecured creditors in this Case pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code.

4. On or about September 21, 2015, the Court signed the Administrative

Order, authorizing certain professionals and members of any official committee

("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 twenty-one (21) days after service of the monthly fee application the Debtor is

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 December 31,

2015, and at three-month intervals or such other intervals convenient to the Court, 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.

The retention of PSZ&J, as counsel to the Debtor, was approved effective

as of August 9, 2015 by this Court's Order Pursuant to Section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code,

Rule 2014 of the FedeNal Rules of Bankruptcy PNocedure and Local Rule 2014-1 AuthoNizing the

Employneent and Retention of Pachulski Stang Ziehl &Jones LLP as Counsel foN the Debtor and

PSZ&J'S APPLICATION FOR COMPENSATION AND

FOR REIMBUR~~MENT O~ ~~P~1°1~E~

Compensation Paid and Its Sou~•ce

6. All services for which PSZ&J requests compensation were performed for

or on behalf of the Debtors. PSZ&J 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 PSZ&J and any other person other than the partners of PSZ&J for the

sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in this case. PSZ&J has received

payments from the Debtors prior to the Petition Date in the amount of $250,000 in connection

with its prepetition representation of the Debtors. There is no balance remaining from the

Page 7: Case 15-11663-LSS Doc 338 Filed 02/25/16 Page 1 of 15 1N ... · appointed in the Debtor's chapter 11 cases. 2. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§

prepetition payments to apply to postpetition fees and expenses pursuant to the compensation

procedures approved by this Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Fee Statements

7. The fee statement for the Interim Period is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

These statements contain daily time logs describing the time spent by each attorney and

paraprofessional during the Interim Period. To the best of PSZ&J's knowledge, this Application

complies with sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and the

Administrative Order. PSZ&J's time reports are initially handwritten by the attorney or

paralegal performing the described services. The time reports are organized on a daily basis.

PSZ&J is particularly sensitive to issues of "lumping" and, unless time was spent in one time

frame on a variety of different matters for a particular client, separate time entries are set forth in

the time reports. PSZ&J'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 Bankruptcy Code. PSZ&J has agreed with the Debtor not to charge for any non-working

travel and out-of-town transportation, mileage, train or similar expenses, but will charge for

meals, lodging, and all other costs of any necessary out f-of-town travel by the Firm's personnel.

8. PSZ&J and the Debtor have agreed that PSZ&J will be compensated at a

blended rate not to exceed $700 per hour (the "Blended Rate") for all attorneys rendering

services in connection with the engagement.

Actual and Necessary Ext~enses

9. A summary of actual and necessary expenses incurred by PSZ&J for the

Interim Period is attached hereto as part of Exhibit A. PSZ&J customarily charges $0.10 per

page for photocopying expenses related to cases, such as this, arising in Delaware. PSZ&J'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.

PSZ&J summarizes each client's photocopying charges on a daily basis.

10. PSZ&J charges $1.00 per page for out-going facsimile transmissions.

There is no additional charge for long distance telephone calls on faxes. The charge for outgoing

facsimile transmissions reflects PSZ&J's calculation of the actual costs incurred by PSZ&J for

the machines, supplies and extra labor expenses associated with sending telecopies and is

reasonable in relation to the amount charged by outside vendors who provide similar services.

PSZ&J does not charge the Debtors for the receipt of faxes in this case.

11. With respect to providers of on-line legal research services (e.g., LEXIS

and WESTLAW), PSZ&J charges the standard usage rates these providers charge for

computerized legal research. PSZ&J bills its clients the actual amounts charged by such

services, with no premium. Any volume discount received by PSZ&J is passed onto the client.

12. PSZ&J believes the foregoing rates are the market rates that the majority

of law firms charge clients for such services. In addition, PSZ&J believes that such charges are

in accordance with the American Bar Association's ("ABA") guidelines, as set forth in the

DOCS LA297035.1 73845/002 5

Page 9: Case 15-11663-LSS Doc 338 Filed 02/25/16 Page 1 of 15 1N ... · appointed in the Debtor's chapter 11 cases. 2. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§

ABA's Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding billing for disbursements and

other charges.

Summa~-~~ of Services Rendered

13. The names of the timekeepers of PSZ&J who have rendered professional

services in this case during the Interim Period are set forth in the attached Exhibit A. PSZ&J, by

and through such persons, has prepared and assisted in the preparation of various motions and

orders submitted to the Court for consideration, advised the Debtor on a regular basis with

respect to various matters in connection with the Debtor's bankruptcy case, and performed all

necessary professional services which are described and narrated in detail below. PSZ&J's

efforts have been extensive due to the size and complexity of the Debtor's bankruptcy case.

Summary of Sei~vices by Proiect

14. The services rendered by PSZ&J during the Interim Period can be grouped

into the categories set forth below. PSZ&J attempted to place the services provided in the

category that best relates to such services. However, because certain services may relate to one

category. These services performed, by categories, are generally described below, with a more

detailed identification of the actual services provided set forth on the attached Exhibit A.

Exhibit A identifies the attorneys and paraprofessionals who rendered services relating to each
