9. Ruta's biling statements for the Interim Period are attched 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 Ruta's

knowledge, this Application complies with sections 330 and 331 of the Banptcy
Code, the Federal Rules of Banptcy Procedure, this Cour's Local Rules, and the

Administrative Order. Ruta's time reports are either (a) initially handwritten by the
attorney or paralegal performing the described services and then entered into Ruta's
computerized billng program by an administrative assistant or (b) entered directly into

Ruta's computerized billng 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 fort in

the time reports. Rutan's charges for its professional .services are based upon the time,

2123/023353-0031 10432 i 9.0 I .10/20/09

-5-

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

10. A summary of actual and necessary expenses incured by Ruta for the
Interim Period is attached hereto as par of Exhibit A.

1 i. 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 summarzes each client's photocopying charges on a daily basis.

12. Ruta 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 Ruta 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 ths case.

13. With respect to providers of on-line legal research services (~,


LEXIS and WESTLA W), Rutan charges the stadar.d usage rates these providers

charge for computerized legal research. Rutan bils its clients the actual amounts
charged by such services, with no premium. Any voj~rne discount received by Rutan
is passed on to the client.
14.

Ruta believes the foregoing rates are the market rates that the majority

2123/023353-0031
1043219.01 _10120/09

-6-

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

15. The names of the parners and associates of Rutan who have rendered
professional services in these cases during the Interim Period, and the paralegals and
