Code in this Court. On June 10, 2012 (the “Voluntary Petition Date,” and together with the

Involuntary Petition Date, the “Petition Date,” as applicable to the particular Debtor), the

remaining Debtors filed voluntary petitions in this Court and, in connection therewith, Allied

Holdings and Allied Systems consented to the involuntary petitions filed against them.

Additional information regarding the Debtors’ business and the background relating to events

Macaulay in Support of First-Day Pleadings [Docket No. 80] which was filed on the Voluntary

Petition Date.

2. Ogletree Deakins was retained effective as of October 1, 2012, as special

labor and benefits counsel to the Debtors and Debtors in Possession, pursuant to this Court’s

Order, dated October 18, 2012 [Docket No. 537] (the “Retention Order”). The Retention Order

authorized Ogletree Deakins to be compensated on an hourly basis and to be reimbursed for

actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses.

Compensation Paid and Its Source

3. All services for which compensation is requested by Ogletree Deakins

were performed for or on behalf of the Debtors.
