The above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) file
this application (this “Application”) for the entry of an order, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, authorizing the Debtors to retain and employ Kirkland & Ellis LLP
(“K&E”) as their attorneys effective nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date (as defined herein). In
support of this Application, the Debtors submit the declaration of Paul M. Basta, a partner at
K&E (the “Basta Declaration”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. In further support of this
Application, the Debtors respectfully state as follows.
Jurisdiction
1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the “Court”) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. This
matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).
2. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
3. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are sections 327(a) and 330 of
title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), Rules 2014(a) and 2016 of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), and Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1
of the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the Southern District of New York (the “Local Bankruptcy
Rules”).
Background2
4. On May 3, 2012 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary
petition 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 section 1107(a) 2 A description of the Debtors’ businesses, the reasons for commencing the chapter 11 cases, and the relief sought
from the Court to allow for a smooth transition into chapter 11 are set forth in the Declaration of Robert S. Miller (I) in Support of Debtors’ Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Motions and (II) Pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule 1007-2, filed on May 4, 2012 [Docket No. 22], incorporated herein by reference.

and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On May 4, 2012, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 34]
authorizing the joint administration and procedural consolidation of the chapter 11 cases
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). No request for the appointment of a trustee or examiner
has been made in the chapter 11 cases. On May 11, 2012, the United States Trustee for the
Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of
unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee”)
[Docket No. 83].
Relief Requested
5. By this Application, the Debtors seek the entry of an order authorizing the
retention and employment of K&E as their attorneys in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in that certain engagement letter between the Debtors and K&E dated as of January 9,
2012 (the “Engagement Letter”), a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
K&E’s Qualifications

extensive experience and knowledge in the field of debtors’ protections, creditors’ rights, and
business reorganizations under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8. In preparing for its representation of the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, K&E
has become familiar with the Debtors’ businesses and many of the potential legal issues that may
arise in the context of these chapter 11 cases. The Debtors believe that K&E is both
well-qualified and uniquely able to represent the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases in an efficient
and timely manner.
Services to be Provided
9. Subject to further order of the Court and consistent with the Engagement Letter,
the Debtors request the retention and employment of K&E to render the following legal services:
3 Because of the voluminous nature of the orders cited herein, they are not attached to this Application. Copies of
these orders are available upon request of Debtors’ proposed counsel.

a. advising the Debtors with respect to their powers and duties as debtors in possession in the continued management and operation of their businesses and properties;
b. advising and consulting on the conduct of these chapter 11 cases, including all of the legal and administrative requirements of operating in chapter 11;
c. attending meetings and negotiating with representatives of creditors and other parties in interest;
d. taking all necessary actions to protect and preserve the Debtors’ estates, including prosecuting actions on the Debtors’ behalf, defending any action commenced against the Debtors, and representing the Debtors in negotiations concerning litigation in which the Debtors are involved, including objections to claims filed against the Debtors’ estates;
e. preparing pleadings in connection with these chapter 11 cases, including motions, applications, answers, orders, reports, and papers necessary or otherwise beneficial to the administration of the Debtors’ estates;
f. representing the Debtors in connection with obtaining authority to continue using cash collateral and postpetition financing;
g. advising the Debtors in connection with any potential sale of assets;
h. appearing before the Court and any appellate courts to represent the interests of the Debtors’ estates;
i. advising the Debtors regarding tax matters;
j. taking any necessary action on behalf of the Debtors to negotiate, prepare, and obtain approval of a disclosure statement and confirmation of a chapter 11 plan and all documents related thereto; and
k. performing all other necessary legal services for the Debtors in connection with the prosecution of these chapter 11 cases, including: (i) analyzing the Debtors’ leases and contracts and the assumption and assignment or rejection thereof; (ii) analyzing the validity of liens against the Debtors; and (iii) advising the Debtors on corporate and litigation matters.
Professional Compensation
10. K&E intends to apply for compensation for professional services rendered on an
hourly basis and reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with these chapter 11 cases,
subject to the Court’s approval and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 5 of 89
6
Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy Rules, the guidelines established by the
Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee
Guidelines”), and any other applicable procedures and orders of the Court. The hourly rates and
corresponding rate structure K&E will use in these chapter 11 cases are equivalent to the hourly
rates and corresponding rate structure that K&E predominantly uses for other restructuring
matters, as well as similar complex corporate, securities, and litigation matters whether in court
or otherwise, regardless of whether a fee application is required. These rates and the rate
structure reflect that such restructuring and other complex matters typically are national in scope
and involve great complexity, high stakes, and severe time pressures.
11. K&E operates in a national marketplace for legal services in which rates are
driven by multiple factors relating to the individual lawyer, his or her area of specialization, the
firm’s expertise, performance, and reputation, the nature of the work involved, and other factors.
Because the sub-markets for legal services are fragmented and are affected by a variety of
individualized and interdependent factors, K&E has no one rate for an individual biller that
applies to all matters for all clients. K&E’s rates for an individual biller may vary as a function
of the type of matter, geographic factors, the nature of certain long-term client relationships, and
various other factors, including those stated above.
12. K&E’s hourly rates are set at a level designed to compensate K&E fairly for the
work of its attorneys and paralegals and to cover fixed and routine overhead expenses. Hourly
rates vary with the experience and seniority of the individuals assigned. These hourly rates are
subject to periodic adjustments to reflect economic and other conditions and are consistent with
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 6 of 89
7
the rates charged elsewhere. In particular, K&E’s current hourly rates for matters related to
these chapter 11 cases range as follows:4
Billing Category U.S. Range Partners $670-$1,045
Of Counsel $560-$1,045 Associates $370-$750
Paraprofessionals $150-$320
13. The following professionals presently are expected to have primary responsibility
for providing services to the Debtors: James H.M. Sprayregen ($1,045), Paul M. Basta ($1,045),
Patrick J. Nash, Jr. ($975), and Ross M. Kwasteniet ($795). In addition, as necessary, other
K&E professionals and paraprofessionals will provide services to the Debtors.5
14. It is K&E’s policy to charge its clients in all areas of practice for identifiable,
non-overhead expenses incurred in connection with the client’s case that would not have been
incurred except for representation of that particular client. It is also K&E’s policy to charge its
clients only the amount actually incurred by K&E in connection with such items. Examples of
such expenses include postage, overnight mail, courier delivery, transportation, overtime
expenses, computer-assisted legal research, photocopying, outgoing facsimile transmissions,
airfare, meals, and lodging.
15. To ensure compliance with all applicable deadlines in these chapter 11 cases,
from time to time K&E utilizes the services of overtime secretaries. K&E charges fees for these
4 For professionals and paraprofessionals residing outside of the U.S., hourly rates are billed in the applicable
currency. When billing a U.S. entity, such foreign rates are converted into U.S. dollars at the then applicable conversion rate. After converting these foreign rates into U.S. dollars it is possible that certain rates may exceed the billing ranges listed in the chart herein.
5 Although K&E does not anticipate using contract attorneys during these chapter 11 cases, in the unlikely event that such employment becomes necessary, K&E will not charge a markup to the Debtors with respect to fees billed by contract attorneys. Moreover, any contract attorneys or non-attorneys who are employed by the Debtors in connection with work performed by K&E will be subject to conflict checks and disclosures in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 7 of 89
8
services pursuant to the Engagement Letter, which permits K&E to bill the Debtors for overtime
secretarial charges that arise out of business necessity. In addition, K&E professionals also may
charge their overtime meals and overtime transportation to the Debtors consistent with
prepetition practices.
16. K&E currently charges the Debtors $0.12 per page for standard duplication in its
offices in the United States. K&E does not charge its clients for facsimile transmissions. K&E
has negotiated a discounted rate for Westlaw computer-assisted legal research. Computer-
assisted legal research is used whenever the researcher determines that using Westlaw is more
cost effective than using traditional (non-computer-assisted legal research) techniques.
Compensation Received by K&E from the Debtors
17. As set forth in the Basta Declaration, on February 10, 2012, the Debtors paid
$500,000.00 to K&E as a classic retainer and the Debtors subsequently made additional classic
retainer payments to K&E totaling $5,650,000 in the aggregate. The foregoing retainers
constitute “classic retainer[s]” as defined in In re Prod. Assocs., Ltd., 264 B.R. 180, 184-85
(Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2001), and In re McDonald Bros. Contrs., Inc., 114 B.R. 989, 997-99 (Bankr.
N.D. Ill 1990). Moreover, pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the classic retainers are property
of K&E and are not held in a separate account. As such, K&E earned the classic retainers upon
receipt, and, consequently, K&E placed the amounts into its general cash account.
18. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2016(b), K&E has not shared nor agreed to share
(a) any compensation it has received or may receive with another party or person, other than with
the partners, associates, and contract attorneys associated with K&E or (b) any compensation
another person or party has received or may receive. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors did not
owe K&E any amounts for legal services rendered before the Petition Date.

K&E’s Disinterestedness
19. To the best of the Debtors’ knowledge and as disclosed herein and in the Basta
Declaration, (a) K&E is a “disinterested person” within the meaning of section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and does not hold or
represent an interest adverse to the Debtors’ estates and (b) K&E has no connection to the
Debtors, their creditors, or their related parties except as may be disclosed in the Basta
Declaration.
20. K&E will review its files periodically during the pendency of these chapter 11
cases to ensure that no conflicts or other disqualifying circumstances exist or arise. If any new
relevant facts or relationships are discovered or arise, K&E will use reasonable efforts to identify
such further developments and will file promptly a supplemental declaration, as required by
Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a).
Supporting Authority
21. The Debtors seek retention of K&E as their attorneys pursuant to section 327(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that a debtor, subject to Court approval:
[M]ay employ one or more attorneys, accountants, appraisers, auctioneers, or other professional persons, that do not hold or represent an interest adverse to the estate, and that are disinterested persons, to represent or assist the [debtor] in carrying out the [debtor]’s duties under this title.
11 U.S.C. § 327(a).
22. Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a) requires that an application for retention include:
[S]pecific facts showing the necessity for the employment, the name of the [firm] to be employed, the reasons for the selection, the professional services to be rendered, any proposed arrangement for compensation, and, to the best of the applicant’s knowledge, all of the [firm’s] connections with the debtor, creditors, any other party in interest, their respective attorneys and accountants, the

United States trustee, or any person employed in the office of the United States trustee.
Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2014.
23. The Debtors submit that for all the reasons stated above and in the Basta
Declaration, the retention of K&E as counsel to the Debtors is warranted. Further, as stated in
the Basta Declaration, K&E is a “disinterested person” within the meaning of section 101(14) of
the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and does not hold
or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors’ estates and has no connection to the Debtors,
their creditors or their related parties except as may be disclosed in the Basta Declaration.
Notice
24. The Debtors have provided notice of this Application to the following parties:
(a) the Office of the U.S. Trustee; (b) counsel for the Committee; (c) counsel to the
administrative agent under the Debtors’ prepetition secured credit agreement (the “Credit
Agreement”); (d) counsel to the ad hoc committee of lenders under the Credit Agreement;

procedures and orders of the Court.
5. Notwithstanding anything in the Engagement Letter to the contrary, K&E shall
apply any remaining amounts of its prepetition retainers as a credit toward postpetition fees and
expenses, after such postpetition fees and expenses are approved pursuant to an order of the
Court awarding fees and expenses to K&E. K&E may reserve and apply amounts from the
retainers that would otherwise be applied toward payment of postpetition fees and expenses as
are necessary and appropriate to reimburse K&E for prepetition expenses consistent with its
ordinary course billing practices. K&E is further authorized to apply fees or expenses incurred
on or prior to the Petition Date against its classic retainer in the ordinary course of business
without further order of the Court.
6. K&E shall not charge a markup to the Debtors with respect to fees billed by
contract attorneys who are hired by K&E to provide services to the Debtors and shall ensure that
any such contract attorneys are subject to conflict checks and disclosures in accordance with the
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules.
7. K&E shall provide ten business days’ notice to the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee and
any official committee before any increases in the rates set forth in the Application or the
Engagement Letter are implemented and shall file such notice with the Court. The U.S. Trustee
retains all rights to object to any rate increase on all grounds, including the reasonableness
standard set forth in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Court retains the right to
review any rate increase pursuant to section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(the “Application”).2 Except as otherwise noted, I have personal knowledge of the matters set

K&E’s Qualifications

5. In preparing for its representation of the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, K&E
has become familiar with the Debtors’ businesses and many of the potential legal issues that may
arise in the context of these chapter 11 cases. The Debtors believe that K&E is both
well-qualified and uniquely able to represent the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases in an efficient
and timely manner.
Services to Be Provided
6. Subject to further order of the Court and consistent with that certain engagement
letter dated January 9, 2012 (the “Engagement Letter”), a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit 1
to Exhibit A to the Application, the Debtors retained K&E to render, without limitation, the
following legal services:
a. advising the Debtors with respect to its powers and duties as debtor in possession in the continued management and operation of its businesses and properties;
b. advising and consulting on the conduct of these chapter 11 cases, including all of the legal and administrative requirements of operating in chapter 11;
c. attending meetings and negotiating with representatives of creditors and other parties in interest;
d. taking all necessary actions to protect and preserve the Debtors’ estates, including prosecuting actions on the Debtors’ behalf, defending any action commenced against the Debtors, and representing the Debtors in negotiations concerning litigation in which the Debtors are involved, including objections to claims filed against the Debtors’ estates;
3 Because of the voluminous nature of the orders cited herein, they are not attached to the Application. Copies of
these orders are available on request of Debtors’ proposed counsel.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 33 of 89
4
e. preparing pleadings in connection with these chapter 11 cases, including motions, applications, answers, orders, reports, and papers necessary or otherwise beneficial to the administration of the Debtors’ estates;
f. representing the Debtors in connection with obtaining authority to continue using cash collateral and postpetition financing;
g. advising the Debtors in connection with any potential sale of assets;
h. appearing before the Court and any appellate courts to represent the interests of the Debtors’ estates;
i. advising the Debtors regarding tax matters;
j. taking any necessary action on behalf of the Debtors to negotiate, prepare, and obtain approval of a disclosure statement and confirmation of a chapter 11 plan and all documents related thereto; and
k. performing all other necessary legal services for the Debtors in connection with the prosecution of these chapter 11 cases, including: (i) analyzing the Debtors’ leases and contracts and the assumption and assignment or rejection thereof; (ii) analyzing the validity of liens against the Debtors; and (iii) advising the Debtors on corporate and litigation matters.
Professional Compensation
7. K&E intends to apply for compensation for professional services rendered and
reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with these chapter 11 cases, subject to the
Court’s approval and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy Rules, the guidelines established by the Office of the
United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee Guidelines”), and
any other applicable procedures or orders of the Court, on an hourly basis. The hourly rates and
corresponding rate structure to be utilized by K&E in these chapter 11 cases are equivalent to
K&E’s hourly rates and corresponding rate structure for other restructuring matters, as well as
similar complex corporate, securities, and litigation matters whether in court or otherwise,
regardless of whether a fee application is required. These rates and the rate structure reflect that
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 34 of 89
5
such restructuring and other complex matters typically are national in scope and involve great
intricacy, high stakes, and severe time pressures.
8. K&E operates in a national marketplace for legal services in which rates are driven
by multiple factors relating to the individual lawyer, his or her area of specialization, the firm’s
expertise, performance, and reputation, the nature of the work involved, and other factors.
Because the sub-markets for legal services are fragmented and are affected by a variety of
individualized and interdependent factors, K&E has no one rate for an individual biller that
applies to all matters for all clients. K&E rates for an individual biller may vary as a function of
the type of matter, geographic factors, the nature of certain long-term client relationships, and
various other factors, including those stated above.
9. K&E’s hourly rates are set at a level designed to fairly compensate K&E for the
work of its attorneys and paralegals and to cover fixed and routine overhead expenses. Hourly
rates vary with the experience and seniority of the individuals assigned. These hourly rates are
subject to periodic adjustments to reflect economic and other conditions and are consistent with
the rates charged elsewhere. In particular, K&E’s hourly rates for matters related to these chapter
11 cases range as follows: 4
Billing Category U.S. Range Partners $670-$1,045
Of Counsel $560-$1,045 Associates $370-$750
Paraprofessionals $150-$320
10. James H.M. Sprayregen ($1,045), Patrick Nash ($975), Ross M. Kwasteniet
($795), and I ($1,045), presently are expected to have primary responsibility for providing 4 For professionals and paraprofessionals residing outside of the U.S., hourly rates are billed in the applicable
currency. When billing a U.S. entity, such foreign rates are converted into U.S. dollars at the then applicable conversion rate. After converting these foreign rates into U.S. dollars it is possible that certain rates may exceed the billing ranges listed in the chart herein.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 35 of 89
6
services to the Debtors. In addition, from time to time, other K&E professionals and
paraprofessionals will provide services to the Debtors.5
11. It is K&E’s policy to charge its clients in all areas of practice for identifiable,
non-overhead expenses incurred in connection with the client’s case that would not have been
incurred except for representation of that particular client. It is also K&E’s policy to charge its
clients only the amount actually incurred by K&E in connection with such items. Examples of
such expenses include postage, overnight mail, courier delivery, transportation, overtime
expenses, computer-assisted legal research, photocopying, outgoing facsimile transmissions,
airfare, meals, and lodging.
12. To ensure compliance with all applicable deadlines in these chapter 11 cases, K&E
utilizes the services of overtime secretaries. K&E charges fees for these services pursuant to the
Engagement Letter between K&E and the Debtors, which permits K&E to bill the Debtors for
overtime secretarial charges that arise out of business necessity. In addition, K&E professionals
also may charge their overtime meals and overtime transportation to the Debtors consistent with
prepetition practices.
13. K&E currently charges the Debtors $0.12 per page for standard duplication in its
offices in the United States. K&E does not charge its clients for facsimile transmissions. K&E
has negotiated a discounted rate for Westlaw computer-assisted legal research. Computer-
assisted legal research is used whenever the researcher determines that using Westlaw is more
cost effective than using traditional (non-computer-assisted legal research) techniques.
5 Although K&E does not anticipate using contract attorneys during these chapter 11 cases, in the unlikely event
that such employment becomes necessary, K&E will not charge a markup to the Debtors with respect to fees billed by contract attorneys. Moreover, any contract attorneys or non-attorneys who are employed by the Debtors in connection with work performed by K&E will be subject to conflict checks and disclosures in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

Compensation Received by K&E from the Debtors
14. K&E has provided and agrees to continue to provide assistance to the Debtors in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Application and Engagement Letter. As
set forth below, on February 10, 2012, the Debtors paid $500,000.00 to K&E as a classic retainer
and the Debtors subsequently made additional classic retainer payments to K&E totaling
$5,650,000 in the aggregate. The foregoing retainer payments constitute advance payment and
“classic retainer” payments as defined in In re Production Assocs. Ltd., 264 B.R. 180, 184-85
(Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2001) and In re McDonald Bros. Construction, Inc., 114 B.R. 989, 997-99
(Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1990). Moreover, pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the classic retainers are
property of K&E and are not held in a separate account. As such, K&E earned the classic
retainers upon receipt, and consequently, K&E placed the amounts into its general cash account.
15. During the 90-day period before the Petition Date, K&E invoiced the Debtors, and
the Debtors paid K&E, the following amounts:
Type of Transaction Billed Amount
Payment Date
Amount of Classic Retainer/Replenishment
Retainer Balance
Retainer Payment 2/10/2012 $500,000.00 $500,000.00Retainer Payment 2/23/2012 $400,000.00 $900,000.00Retainer Payment 2/28/2012 $1,000,000.00 $1,900,000.00Retainer Payment 3/7/2012 $400,000.00 $2,300,000.00Retainer Payment 3/15/2012 $400,000.00 $2,700,000.00Retainer Payment 3/22/2012 $500,000.00 $3,200,000.00Retainer Payment 3/29/2012 $750,000.00 $3,950,000.00
Invoice for services (1/5/2012 through 3/25/2012)
$2,215,375.67 $1,734,624.33
Retainer Payment 4/5/2012 $450,000.00 $2,184,624.33Retainer Payment 4/13/2012 $250,000.00 $2,434,624.33Retainer Payment 4/19/2012 $400,000.00 $2,834,624.33Retainer Payment 4/30/2012 $500,000.00 $3,334,624.33Retainer Payment 5/2/2012 $600,000.00 $3,934,624.33
After applying the classic retainer against prepetition fees and expenses, K&E projects that its
classic retainer balance will be approximately $1,000,000, but this estimate is subject to further
reconciliation.

16. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2016(b), K&E has not shared nor agreed to share
(a) any compensation it has received or may receive with another party or person, other than with
the partners, associates, and contract attorneys associated with K&E or (b) any compensation
another person or party has received or may receive. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors did not
owe K&E any amounts for legal services rendered before the Petition Date.
K&E’s Disinterestedness
17. In connection with its proposed retention by the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases,
K&E undertook to determine whether it had any conflicts or other relationships that might cause
it not to be disinterested or to hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors. Specifically,
K&E obtained from the Debtors and/or their representatives the names of individuals and entities
that may be parties in interest in these chapter 11 cases (the “Potential Parties in Interest”) and
such parties are listed on Schedule 1 hereto. K&E has searched on its electronic database for its
connections to the entities listed on Schedule 1 hereto. To the extent that I have been able to
ascertain that K&E has been retained within the last three years to represent any of the Potential
Parties in Interest (or their affiliates, as the case may be) in matters unrelated to these cases, such
facts are disclosed on Schedule 2 attached hereto.
18. K&E and certain of its partners and associates may have in the past represented,
may currently represent, and likely in the future will represent, parties in interest in these
chapter 11 cases in connection with matters unrelated (except as otherwise disclosed herein) to
the Debtors and these chapter 11 cases. K&E has searched on its electronic database for its
connection to the entities listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto. The information listed on
Schedule 1 may have changed without our knowledge and may change during the pendency of
these chapter 11 cases. Accordingly, K&E will update this Declaration as necessary and when
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 38 of 89
9
K&E becomes aware of additional material information. The following is a list of the categories
that K&E has searched:6
Schedule Category 1(a) Current and Recent Former Entities Affiliated with the Debtors 1(b) Current and Recent Former Directors and Officers 1(c) Banking Relationships 1(d) Indenture Trustees 1(e) Insurers 1(f) Investment Banker 1(g) Landlords 1(h) Largest Customers 1(i) Lenders 1(j) Litigants 1(k) Members of Ad Hoc Bondholder Group 1(l) Professionals 1(m) Purported Secured Creditors 1(n) Shareholders 1(o) Taxing Authorities 1(p) Top 20 Vendors 1(q) Top 50 Unsecured Creditors 1(r) Union 1(s) U.S. Trustee, Judges, and court contacts for the Southern District of New York
(and key staff members)
19. To the best of my knowledge, (a) K&E is a “disinterested person” within the
meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 327(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors’ estates and
(b) K&E has no connection to the Debtors, their creditors, or its related parties except as may be
disclosed in this Declaration.
6 K&E’s inclusion of parties in the following schedules is solely to illustrate K&E’s conflict search process and is
not an admission that any party has a valid claim against the Debtors or that any party properly belongs in the schedules or has a claim or legal relationship to the Debtors of the nature described in the schedules.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 39 of 89
10
20. Although not relevant in concluding that K&E is “disinterested,” out of an
abundance of caution, listed on Schedule 2 to this Declaration are the results of K&E’s conflicts
searches of the above-listed entities.7 For the avoidance of doubt, K&E will not commence a
cause of action in these chapter 11 cases against the parties listed on Schedule 2 that are current
or ongoing clients of K&E (including parties below-listed under the “Specific Disclosures”
section of this Declaration) unless K&E has an applicable waiver on file or first receives a waiver
from such party allowing K&E to commence such an action. To the extent that a waiver does not
exist or is not obtained from such client and it is necessary for the Debtors to commence an action
against that client, the Debtors will be represented in such particular matter by conflicts counsel.8
21. Of the clients listed on Schedule 2, only two represented more than one percent of
K&E’s fee receipts for the twelve-month period ending on April 30, 2012.9 IBM Corporation is
one of the Debtors’ top 50 unsecured creditors and represented more than one percent of K&E’s
fee receipts for the twelve-month period ending on April 30, 2012. Additionally, certain lenders
to the Debtors, including Sankaty Credit Opportunities (Offshore Master) IV, L.P., Sankaty
Credit Opportunities III, L.P., Sankaty Credit Opportunities IV, L.P., Avery Point CLO Ltd,
Prospect Harbor Credit Partners, L.P., and Race Point IV CLO, Ltd, are affiliates of K&E client
7 As referenced in Schedule 2, the term “current client” means a client to whom time was posted in the 12 months
preceding the Petition Date. As referenced in Schedule 2, the term “former client” means a client to whom time was posted between 12 and 36 months preceding the Petition Date. As referenced in Schedule 2, the term “closed client” means a client to whom time was posted in the 36 months preceding the Petition Date, but for which the client representation has been closed. As a general matter, K&E discloses connections with former clients or closed clients for whom time was posted in the last 36 months, but does not disclose connections if time was billed more than 36 months before the Petition Date.
8 Contemporaneously with the filing of the Application, the Debtors also are seeking to retain and employ Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP as conflicts counsel pursuant to the Debtors’ Application for the Entry of an Order Authorizing the Retention and Employment of Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP as Conflicts Counsel for the Debtors and Debtors in Possession Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date.
9 Specific percentages have been disclosed to the Office of the U.S. Trustee.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 40 of 89
11
Bain Capital, LLC, and are clients of K&E or are advised by clients of K&E. Bain Capital, LLC,
represented more than one percent of K&E’s fee receipts for the twelve-month period ending on
April 30, 2012.
22. K&E’s conflicts search of the parties in interest listed on Schedules 1(a) – 1(s)
(that K&E was able to locate using its reasonable efforts) reveals, to the best of K&E’s
knowledge, that those K&E attorneys and paraprofessionals who previously worked at other law
firms that represented certain potential parties in interest in these chapter 11 cases have not
worked on matters relating to the Debtors’ restructuring efforts while at K&E.
23. Based on the conflicts search conducted to date and described herein, to the best of
my knowledge, neither I, K&E, nor any partner or associate thereof, insofar as I have been able to
ascertain, have any connection with the Debtors, their creditors, or any other parties in interest,
their respective attorneys and accountants, the Office of the United States Trustee for the
Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee”), or any person employed in the Office of the
U.S. Trustee, any Bankruptcy Judge currently serving on the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York, except as disclosed or otherwise described herein.
24. K&E will review its files periodically during the pendency of these chapter 11
cases to ensure that no conflicts or other disqualifying circumstances exist or arise. If any new
relevant facts or relationships are discovered or arise, K&E will use reasonable efforts to identify
such further developments and will file promptly a supplemental declaration, as required by
Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a).
25. Generally, it is K&E’s policy to disclose clients in the capacity that they first
appear in a conflicts search. For example, if a client already has been disclosed in this
Declaration in one capacity (e.g., a customer), and the client appears in a subsequent conflicts
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 41 of 89
12
search in a different capacity (e.g., a vendor), K&E does not disclose the same client again in
supplemental declarations, unless the circumstances are such in the latter capacity that additional
disclosure is required.
26. From time to time, K&E has referred work to other professionals to be retained in
these chapter 11 cases. Likewise, certain such professionals have referred work to K&E.
27. Certain insurance companies pay the legal bills of K&E clients. Some of these
insurance companies may be involved in these chapter 11 cases. None of these insurance
companies, however, are K&E clients as a result of the fact that they pay legal fees on behalf of
K&E clients.
Specific Disclosures
28. As specifically set forth below and in the attached exhibits, K&E represents
certain of the Debtors’ creditors, equity security holders, or other parties in interest in ongoing
matters unrelated to the Debtors and these chapter 11 cases. None of the representations
described herein are materially adverse to the interests of the Debtors’ estates. Moreover,
pursuant to section 327(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, K&E is not disqualified from acting as the
Debtors’ counsel merely because it represents certain of the Debtors’ creditors, equity security
holders, or other parties in interest in matters unrelated to these chapter 11 cases.
A. Connections to Holders of Equity Interests in the Debtors.
29. As disclosed on Schedule 2, K&E currently represents, and in the past has
represented, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and its affiliated investment funds and portfolio
companies (collectively, “Goldman Sachs”) on a variety of matters unrelated to these chapter 11
cases. Goldman Sachs owns approximately 49% of the equity interests in Hawker Beechcraft,
Inc. (the Debtors’ ultimate “parent” company) and also owns certain equity interests in HWBCC
LP (an entity that holds certain of the Debtors’ Senior Notes and 9.750% senior subordinated
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 42 of 89
13
notes). All prior and current K&E representations of Goldman Sachs have been in matters
unrelated to the Debtors or these chapter 11 cases.
B. Connections to Officers and Directors.
30. K&E was retained by United Airlines, Inc. to represent it and other co-defendants,
including Robert S. Miller, Jr. (a director and the Chief Executive Officer of Hawker Beechcraft,
Inc., one of the Debtors), in connection with litigation concerning the termination of a pension
plan during the bankruptcy cases of United Airlines, Inc. This representation is unrelated to the
chapter 11 cases.
31. K&E was retained by Autocam Corporation to represent it in connection with
corporate and financing matters. One of Autocam Corporation’s directors was Jack Daly (a
director of Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., one of the Debtors). This representation is unrelated to the
chapter 11 cases.
32. In April 2011, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation hired Steven Hall, a former K&E
partner, as Senior Counsel. Mr. Hall’s work at K&E was not related to the Debtors or the chapter
11 cases.
C. Connections to Other Entities.
33. As disclosed on Schedule 2, K&E currently represents, and in the past has
represented Raytheon Company and various of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively,
“Raytheon”). Raytheon formerly owned the Debtors, and K&E represented Raytheon in
connection with the sale of its equity interests to the Debtors’ current equity owners in a
transaction that closed in March of 2007. The 2007 transaction established certain contractual
relationships between the parties, and Raytheon is the beneficiary of a letter of credit that was
issued to cover a contractual indemnity owed by the Debtors to Raytheon in connection with that
transaction. In addition, Raytheon is a co-defendant with certain of the Debtors in certain
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 43 of 89
14
pending product liability litigation. K&E’s previous and current representations of Raytheon are
unrelated to the chapter 11 cases.
D. Potential M&A Transaction Counterparties.
34. The Debtors are in discussions with certain parties (and may be in discussions
with other parties in the future) regarding potential M&A transactions regarding the Debtors and
their businesses. Due to the inherently competitive nature of this process, it is imperative that the
identities of these potential counterparties remain confidential. The Debtors have disclosed to the
U.S. Trustee the identities of the potential counterparties and K&E’s connections to such
potential counterparties, and K&E believes such disclosure is sufficient and reasonable under the
circumstances and at this time. However, should the Court request disclosure of the identities of
the potential counterparties, the Debtors are prepared to file with the Court under seal a version of
this Declaration that contains a schedule of the potential counterparties and K&E’s connections to
such potential counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, K&E will not represent any of the
potential counterparties in connection with any matter in these chapter 11 cases.
E. Other Chapter 11 Professionals.
35. As disclosed in Schedule 2 attached hereto, K&E currently represents, and
formerly has represented, certain affiliates, subsidiaries, and entities associated with various
professionals that the Debtors seeks to retain in connection with these chapter 11 cases. All prior
and current K&E representations of these professionals have been in matters unrelated to the
Debtors and these chapter 11 cases. K&E has not represented and will not represent any such
professionals in connection with any matter in these chapter 11 cases.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 44 of 89
15
36. On May 4, 2012, the Court approved Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions (“Epiq”) as the
Debtors’ notice and claims agent.10 A former K&E associate, Jason Horwitz, is currently Vice
President of Epiq. Mr. Horwitz’s work at K&E was not related to the Debtors or the chapter 11
cases.
37. The Debtors intend to seek approval of their retention of Alvarez and Marsal
North America, LLC and Alvarez & Marsal Private Equity Performance Improvement Group,
LLC (collectively, “A&M”) as restructuring advisor during the pendency of the chapter 11 cases.
Stephen Kotarba, a former K&E associate, is employed by A&M in the position of Managing
Director, and Holden Bixler, a former K&E associate/of counsel, is employed by A&M in the
position of consultant. While employed by K&E, Mr. Kotarba’s and Mr. Bixler’s work was
unrelated to the Debtors and the chapter 11 cases.
F. K&E Attorney and Employee Investments.
38. From time to time, K&E partners, of counsel, associates, and employees
personally invest in mutual funds, retirement funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds,
hedge funds, and other types of investment funds (the “Investment Funds”), through which such
individuals indirectly acquire a debt or equity security of many companies, one of which may be
one of the Debtors, often without K&E’s knowledge. The investing K&E persons generally own
substantially less than one percent of such Investment Fund, do not manage or otherwise control
such Investment Fund, and have no influence over the Investment Fund’s decision to buy, sell, or
vote any particular security. The Investment Fund is generally operated as a blind pool, meaning
that when the K&E persons make an investment in the Investment Fund, he, she, or they do not 10 See Order Authorizing the Employment and Retention of Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC as Notice and claims
Agent for Debtors [Docket No. 45].
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 45 of 89
16
know what securities the blind pool Investment Fund will purchase or sell, and have no control
over such purchases or sales.
39. From time to time one or more K&E partners and of counsel voluntarily choose to
form an entity (a “Passive-Intermediary Entity”) to invest in one or more Investment Funds.
Such Passive-Intermediary Entity is composed only of persons who were K&E partners and of
counsel at the time of the Passive-Intermediary Entity’s formation (although some are now
former K&E partners and of counsel). Participation in such a Passive-Intermediary Entity is
wholly voluntary and only a portion of K&E’s partners and of counsel choose to participate. The
Passive-Intermediary Entity generally owns substantially less than one percent of any such
Investment Fund, does not manage or otherwise control such Investment Fund, and has no
influence over the Investment Fund’s decision to buy, sell, or vote any particular security. Each
Investment Fund in which a Passive-Intermediary Entity invests is operated as a blind pool, so
that the Passive-Intermediary Entity does not know what securities the blind pool Investment
Funds will purchase or sell, and has no control over such purchases or sales. And, indeed, the
Passive-Intermediary Entity often arranges for statements and communications from the
Investment Funds to be sent solely to a blind administrator who edits out all information
regarding the identity of the Investment Fund’s underlying investments, so that the
Passive-Intermediary Entity does not learn (even after the fact) identity of the securities
purchased, sold, or held by the Investment Fund.
40. From time to time, K&E partners, of counsel, associates, and employees
personally directly acquire a debt or equity security of a company which may be one of the
Debtors. K&E has a long-standing policy prohibiting attorneys and employees from using
confidential information that may come to their attention in the course of their work. In this
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 46 of 89
17
regard, all K&E attorneys and employees are barred from trading in securities with respect to
which they possess confidential information.
G. Other Disclosures.
41. Finally, certain interrelationships exist among the Debtors. Nevertheless, the
Debtors have advised K&E that the Debtors’ relationships to each other do not pose any conflict
of interest because of the general unity of interest among the Debtors. Insofar as I have been able
to ascertain, I know of no conflict of interest that would preclude K&E’s joint representation of
the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases.
42. James H.M. Sprayregen, a partner at K&E, worked as an attorney at K&E from
July 1990 until June 2006 and rejoined the firm in December 2008. From June 2006 until
December 2008, prior to rejoining the firm, Mr. Sprayregen was co-head of the restructuring
group of Goldman Sachs Americas, where he advised U.S. and international clients in
restructuring and distressed situations. Certain affiliates of Goldman Sachs are holders of equity
interests in the Debtors and also own equity interests in HWBCC LP (an entity that holds certain
of the Debtors’ Senior Notes and 9.750% senior subordinated notes). As described above,
Goldman Sachs is a client of the firm and disclosed on Schedule 1(m) attached hereto. K&E does
not believe that Mr. Sprayregen’s prior employment at Goldman Sachs presents a conflict in these
chapter 11 cases, but has disclosed it out of an abundance of caution.
43. Prior to joining the firm, K&E partner Albert Cho represented numerous clients
adverse to K&E’s current and former restructuring clients, including debtors in chapter 11. Out
of an abundance of caution, Mr. Cho will not perform any legal services for the Debtors related to
these chapter 11 cases. K&E has instituted formal screening measures to screen Mr. Cho from all
aspects of K&E’s representation of the Debtors.
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 47 of 89
18
44. K&E currently represents, and formerly has represented, Bank of America, N.A.
(“Bank of America”) and certain of its affiliates, in matters unrelated to the Debtors and these
chapter 11 cases. The Debtors have a banking relationship with Bank of America. K&E’s
representations of Bank of America, in the aggregate, accounted for less than one percent of
K&E’s fee receipts for the twelve-month period ending on April 31, 2012. Bank of America is a
lender and has a banking relationship with the Debtors in these chapter 11 cases. K&E’s client
relationships with Bank of America do not prohibit K&E from representing other clients in
negotiations involving them in commercial transactions, nor would they prohibit K&E from
representing the Debtors in connection with claims resolution matters. To the extent that, in the
future, the Debtors were to discover occasion to commence formal litigation against any of these
parties, K&E would request that conflicts counsel pursue such litigation as a result of K&E’s
client relationships with the parties. K&E does not believe that its representation of these parties
presents a conflict but has disclosed it out of an abundance of caution.
45. Under the K&E’s screening procedures referenced above for Mr. Cho (the
“Screened K&E Attorney”), K&E’s conflicts department has distributed a memorandum to all
K&E attorneys and legal assistants directing them as follows: (a) not to discuss any aspects of
K&E’s representation of the Debtors with the Screened K&E Attorney; (b) to conduct meetings,
phone conferences, and other communications regarding K&E’s representation of the Debtors in
a manner that avoids contact with the Screened K&E Attorney; (c) to take all measures necessary
or appropriate to prevent access by the Screened K&E Attorney to the files or other information
related to K&E’s representation of the Debtors; and (d) to avoid contact between the Screened
K&E Attorney and all K&E personnel working on the representation of the Debtors unless there
is a clear understanding that there will be no discussion of any aspects of K&E’s representation of
12-11873-smb Doc 105 Filed 05/16/12 Entered 05/16/12 20:52:52 Main Document Pg 48 of 89
19
the Debtors. Furthermore, K&E already has implemented procedures to block the Screened K&E
Attorney from accessing files and documents related to the Debtors that are stored in K&E’s
electronic document managing system.
Affirmative Statement of Disinterestedness
46. Based on the conflicts search conducted to date and described herein, to the best of
my knowledge and insofar as I have been able to ascertain, (a) K&E is a “disinterested person”
within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as required by section 327(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, and does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors’ estates
and (b) K&E has no connection to the Debtors, their creditors or their related parties, except as
may be disclosed herein.
