Debtor. Hearing Date: July 27, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. (ET) Objection Deadline: July 20, 2012 4:00 p.m. (ET)

DEBTOR'S MOTION FOR AN ORDER AUTHORIZING THE DEBTOR TO RETAIN, EMPLOY, AND COMPENSATE CERTAIN PROFESSIONALS

UTILIZED IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS

The above-captioned debtor and debtor in possession (the "Debtor") files this

motion (the "Motion") for entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

A (the "Proposed Order"), pursuant to sections 105(a), 327, 328, and 330 of title 11 of the United

States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the "Bankruptcy Code"), authorizing, but not directing, the

Debtor to retain, employ, and compensate certain professionals utilized in the ordinary course of

business. In support of this Motion, the Debtor respectfully states as follows:

JURISDICTION

1. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157

and 1334 and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court

for the District of Delaware, dated as of February 29, 2012. This is a core proceeding pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and the Court may enter a final order consistent with Article III of the

United States Constitution. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and

1 The Debtor in this chapter 11 case, and the last four digits of its employer tax identification number, is: XXXXX:l317. The corporate headquarters address for the Debtor is 97 Main Street, Suite E202, Edwards, CO 81632.

01:12261385.5

1409. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105(a), 327, 328, and 330

of the Bankruptcy Code, Rules 2014 and 2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the

"Bankruptcy Rules"), and Rule 2014-1 ofthe Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure

of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Local Rules").

BACKGROUND

2. On June 26, 2012 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtor filed a voluntary

petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor has continued in

possession of its properties and has continued to operate and maintain its business as a debtor in

possession pursuant to sections 11 07(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

3. On July 6, 2012, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of

Delaware (the "U.S. Trustee") appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the

"Committee") [Docket No. 86]. No request has been made for the appointment of a trustee or

examiner in this case.

4. A description of the Debtor's business, the reasons for commencing this

chapter 11 case, and the relief sought from the Court to allow for a smooth transition into chapter

11 are set forth in the Declaration of DanielL. Fitchett, Jr. in support of Chapter 11 Petitions

and First Day Relief[Docket No.2] (the "First Day Declaration"), filed on the Petition Date and

incorporated by reference herein.

RELIEF REQUESTED

5. The Debtor customarily retains the services of various attorneys and other

professionals in the ordinary course of its business operations (each an "Ordinary Course

Professional" or "OCP" and, collectively, the "OCPs")_2 The OCPs provide services to the

2 A listing of the OCPs is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Debtor reserves the right to supplement the list of OCPs. Gordon & Rees LLP ("Gordon Rees") is paid in the ordinary course by the Debtor's insurance provider and

2

Debtor in a variety of discrete matters unrelated to this chapter 11 case, including, but not limited

to, general corporate, litigation, water rights, tax, and other matters.

6. The Debtor seeks permission to continue to employ the OCPs post-petition

without each OCP having to file a formal application for employment and compensation

pursuant to sections 327 through 331 of the Bankruptcy Code. Due to the geographic diversity

of the OCPs regularly retained by the Debtor and the relatively modest amount of fees that the

OCPs bill to the Debtor, it would be inefficient and burdensome to the Debtor to request that

each OCP apply separately for approval of its employment and compensation. Additionally, the

Debtor does not believe that section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code requires court approval for

retention and employment of all of the OCPs. However, out of an abundance of caution, the

Debtor requests the relief sought herein.

7. The Debtor requests that it be permitted to employ and retain the OCPs,

effective as of the Petition Date, on terms substantially similar to those in effect prior to the

Petition Date, but subject to the terms described below. The Debtor represents that (a) it desires

to employ the OCPs as necessary for the day-to-day operations of the Debtor's business and

pending litigation, as applicable, (b) the expenses for the OCPs are anticipated to be kept to a

minimum, and (c) the OCPs will not perform substantial services relating to bankruptcy matters

without permission of this Court.

8. Although some of the OCPs may have an unsecured claim against the

Debtor in respect ofprepetition services rendered, the Debtor does not believe that any of the

OCPs have an interest materially adverse to the Debtor, its creditors, or other parties in interest.

By this Motion, the Debtor is not requesting authority to pay prepetition amounts owed to OCPs.

is included in this Motion out of an abundance of caution. The procedures in this Motion shall apply to Gordon & Rees in the event that the Debtor becomes directly obligated to Gordon Rees for any fees or expenses.

COMPENSATION PROCEDURES

9. The Debtor proposes the following procedures for the retention and

compensation of the OCPs (the "OCP Procedures")3:

(a) Prior to the receipt of payment for postpetition services rendered to the Debtor and expenses incurred, each OCP shall file, or caused to be filed, with the Court a declaration of disinterestedness (the "Declaration of Disinterestedness"), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Motion, stating that such OCP does not represent or hold an interest materially adverse to the Debtor or its estate regarding the matters upon which such OCP is to be retained.

(b) Each OCP shall serve, or cause to be served, a copy of the relevant Declaration of Disinterestedness on: (i) proposed counsel for the Debtor, Foley & Lardner LLP, 402 West Broadway, Suite 2100, San Diego, CA 92101, Attn: Christopher Celentino and Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, 1000 North King St., Rodney Square, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, Attn: Justin P. Duda; (ii) the U.S. Trustee, 844 King Street, Suite 2207, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn: Mark Kenney; and (iii) counsel for the Committee (collectively, the "Notice Parties").

(c) Any objections to the retention of any OCP by any party in interest in this chapter 11 case must be filed with the Court and at the same time served upon the affected OCP and the Notice Parties within fifteen (15) days of service of the relevant Declaration of Disinterestedness (the "OCP Objection Deadline"). If no objection is received on or before the applicable OCP Objection Deadline with respect to any particular OCP, the Debtor shall be authorized to retain and pay such OCP in the manner provided for in these OCP Procedures.

(d) The Debtor is authorized, but not directed, in its sole discretion, without formal applications being filed with the Court, to compensate and reimburse the OCPs for one-hundred (100%) percent oftheir postpetition fees and expenses incurred upon the submission to the Debtor of an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the services rendered and the disbursements actually incurred by the particular OCP without prejudice to the Debtor's right to dispute any such invoice; provided, however, that subject to further order of the Court, the Debtor shall not pay any individual OCP in excess of $25,000 per month, on average, over the prior rolling three-month period, for postpetition compensation and reimbursement ofpostpetition expenses (the "OCP

follows:

Cap"); provided, however, that the Debtor's rights to seek to increase the OCP Cap are reserved.

(e) In the event that an OCP seeks more than $25,000 per month, on average, over the prior rolling three-month period for its postpetition fees and expenses, such OCP shall be required to file with the Court a fee application for the amount of its fees and expenses in excess of the OCP Cap in accordance with sections 330 and 331 ofthe Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and any applicable orders of the Court.

(f) Within thirty (30) days of the close of each calendar quarter (each, a "Quarter") in this chapter 11 case prior to the entry of an order confirming any chapter 11 plan or plans, the Debtor shall file with the Court and serve on the Notice Parties a statement (an "OCP Fees and Expenses Statement") identifying the aggregate amounts paid to each OCP in the reported Quarter. The first Quarter for which the Debtors shall be required to file and serve an OCP Fees and Expenses Statement shall be the calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2012 and ending September 30, 2012; provided, however, that any compensation and reimbursement for postpetition fees and expenses paid by the Debtors to the OCPs from the Petition Date through and including June 30, 2012 shall be included in such report.

(g) In the event the Debtor supplements the OCP List, the Debtor shall file a supplemental list (a "Supplemental OCP List") with this Court and serve it on the Notice Parties. If no objections are filed to any Supplemental OCP List within ten (10) days after service thereof, such Supplemental OCP List shall be deemed approved by the Court without the need for a hearing or further notice or order of this Court.

BASIS FOR RELIEF

10. Section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, as

Except as otherwise provided in this section, the trustee, with the court's approval, may employ one or more attorneys, accountants, appraisers, auctioneers, or other professional persons, that do not hold or represent an interest adverse to the estates, and that are disinterested persons, to represent or assist the trustee in carrying out the trustee's duties under the title.

11 U.S.C. § 327(a).

5

follows:

11. Section 327(e) of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, as

The trustee, with the court's approval, may employ, for a specified special purpose ... an attorney that has represented the debtor, if in the best interest of the estate, and if such attorney does not represent or hold any interest adverse to the debtor or to the estate with respect to the matter on which such attorney is to be employed.

11 U.S.C. § 327(e).

follows:

12. Section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, as

The trustee ... with the court's approval, may employ or authorize the employment of a professional person under section 327 ... on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis.

11 U.S.C. § 328(a).

13. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, as follows:

After notice to the parties in interest and the United States Trustee and a hearing ... the court may award to a ... professional person employed under section 327 ... (A) reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered ... and ... (B) reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.

11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(l).

14. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, that

"[t]he court may issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry

out the provisions of this title." 11 U.S.C. § 105(a).

15. In the instant case, the Debtor expects that the need will arise to call upon

the OCPs to assist with corporate, litigation, and other matters in the ordinary course of the

Debtor's business. The Debtor's reorganization would be hindered if the Debtor was required to

6

submit to the Court an application, affidavit, and proposed retention order for each OCP, and if

each OCP were required to apply for approval of its employment and compensation. The costs

of preparing separate applications for each professional would substantially outweigh any benefit

to the bankruptcy estate. Further, most, if not all of the OCPs will be unfamiliar with the fee

application procedures employed in this chapter 11 case. Given the relatively small monthly fees

expected for each OCP, some of the OCPs may be unwilling to render services to the Debtor if

these requirements were imposed.

16. If the background knowledge, expertise, and familiarity that the OCPs

have with the Debtor and its operations are lost, the Debtor will undoubtedly incur additional and

unnecessary expenses in getting replacement professionals "up to speed." The Debtor relies on

the assistance of OCPs for essential functions which are not bankruptcy related and would be

unable to operate without the OCPs' services. The Debtor's estate and its creditors are best

served by avoiding any disruption in the professional services required in their day-to-day

operations and pending litigation.

17. Moreover, a requirement that the Ordinary Course Professionals each file

retention pleadings and follow the usual fee application process required of other bankruptcy

professionals would burden the Clerk of the Court's office, the Court, and the U.S. Trustee's

office with unnecessary fee applications. The OCP Procedures will alleviate such a burden.

18. Retention and payment plans similar to that proposed herein have been

approved by this Court in numerous other chapter 11 cases. See, e.g., In re Buffets Rests.

Holdings, Inc., Case No. 12-10237 (MFW) (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 14, 2012); In re Lee Enters.,

Inc., Case No. 11-13918 (KG) (Bankr. D. Del. Jan. 12, 2012); In re Pure Beauty Salons &

Boutiques, Inc., Case No. 11-13159 (MFW) (Bankr. D. Del. Oct. 28, 2011); In re Friendly Ice

7

Cream Corp., Case No. 11-13167 (KG) (Bankr. D. Del. Oct. 24, 2011); In re Neb. Book Co.,

Inc., Case No. 11-12005 (PJW) (Bankr. D. Del. July 21, 2011); In re Perkins & Marie

Callender's Inc., Case No. 11-11795 (KG) (Bankr. D. Del. July 12, 2011). The Debtor submits

that similar authorization is appropriate in this chapter 11 case.

19. The Debtor and its estate would be well served by the continued retention

of the OCPs because of their prior relationships with the Debtor and their understanding of the

Debtor and its operations and pending litigation. It is in the best interest of all creditors and

parties in interest to avoid any disruption in the OCPs' services.

NOTICE

20. Notice of this Motion has been provided to: (i) the Office of the United

States Trustee; (ii) the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Delaware; (iii)

counsel to the Official Committee ofUnsecured Creditors; (iv) counsel to prepetition secured

lenders; (v) counsel to proposed post-petition secured lender; and (vi) all parties requesting

notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested herein, the

Debtor submits that no other or further notice is necessary.

WHEREFORE, the Debtor respectfully request that this Court enter the Proposed

Order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, authorizing the Debtor to retain,

employ, and compensate certain professionals used in the ordinary course of business.
