Court, thereby commencing cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, The Debtors are

authorized to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in

possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1107(a) and 1108. On October 3, 2008, the

authorizing the joint administration of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.

2. On October 15, 2008, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware

(the "U.S. Trustee") appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors in these cases (the

"Creditors’ Committee"). On January ii, 2010, the U.S. Trustee appointed an official

committee of equity security holders in these cases (the "Equity Committee").

3. On November 14, 2008, the Court entered the Amended Administrative Order

Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses of

Professionals [ECF No. 302] (the "Administrative Order"). Pursuant to the Administrative

Order, KTBS and other professionals retained in these cases are authorized to file and serve on

the Debtors and the parties identified in the Administrative Order (the "Notice Parties") monthly

Plan [ECF No. 9179] (the "Disclosure Statement"). 2 The Seventh Amended Plan contains a

compromise and settlement among, and has the full support of, each of the Debtors, the

Creditors’ Committee, the Equity Committee and certain creditor constituencies. A hearing to

approve the Disclosure Statement took place on January 11, 2012. Except with respect to certain

modifications directed by the Court, the Court approved the Disclosure Statement as revised. A

hearing on confirmation of the Seventh Amended Plan took place on February 16, 2012, and the

Court entered an order confirming the Seventh Amended Plan on February 24, 2012 [ECF No.

9759].

SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES REQUESTED

6. By this Application, KTBS requests approval of $53,957.50 as compensation

for professional services rendered for WMI from February 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012

(the "Application Period") and $120.00 as reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses

incurred by KTBS for WMI during the Application Period. This does not include $60.00 for

0.10 hours of work that has been written off in the exercise of billing discretion. This

Application complies with Bankruptcy Code section 330, Rule 2016 of the Federal Rules of

Bankruptcy Procedure, the Court’s Local Rule 2016-2, the United States Trustee Guidelines for

2 The description of the Seventh Amended Plan and the Disclosure Statements contained in this application are supplemented and qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Seventh Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement themselves.

138501.1 6

Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11

U.S.C. § 330 issued by the Executive Office for United States Trustees (the "Guidelines") and

the Administrative Order.

7. Other than compensation approved by the Court, KTBS has received no

payment and no promise of payment from any source for services rendered or to be rendered in

any capacity whatsoever in connection with these cases. There is no agreement or understanding

between KTBS and any other person, other than members of the firm, for the sharing of

compensation to be received for services rendered in these cases.

8. The fees charged by KTBS in these cases are billed in accordance with its

existing billing rates and procedures in effect during the Application Period. The rates KTBS

charges for the services rendered by its attorneys and paralegal in these chapter 11 cases are the

same rates KTBS charges for attorney and paralegal services rendered in comparable bankruptcy

and non-bankruptcy related matters. Such fees are reasonable and based on the customary

compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in comparable bankruptcy and non-

bankruptcy cases in a competitive national legal market.

9. KTBS maintains computerized records of the time spent by all KTBS attorneys

and paraprofessionals in connection with its representation of WMI. Annexed hereto as Exhibit

A is a copy of KTBS’s itemized time records for attorneys who performed services for WMI for

the month of February 2012. The time records have been redacted where necessary to preserve

the attorney-client privilege and WMI’s confidential litigation strategy. All entries itemized in

KTBS’s time records comply with the requirements set forth in Local Rule 2016-2 and the

Guidelines, including the use of separate work codes for different project types, as hereinafter

described.

138501.1 7

10. Attached as Exhibit B are KTBS’s itemized records detailing expenses

incurred on behalf of WMI for the month of February 2012. All itemized expenses comply with

the requirements set forth in Local Rule 2016-2 and the Guidelines.

SUMMARY OF SERVICES

11. The following is a summary of the significant professional services rendered

by KTBS during the Application Period.

A. Category 040 - Fee and Employment Applications.

12. This category includes the preparation of the Seventh Monthly Application of

Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff & Stern LLP, Special Litigation Counsel to the Debtor, for

Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period January 1, 2012 Through January

31, 2012 and the declaration in support thereof [ECF No. 9717], which sought compensation and

expense reimbursements totaling $112,234.50.

B. Category 100 - Plan/Disclosure Statement.

13. This category includes the review, analysis, and revision of the draft order

confirming the Seventh Amended Plan. KTBS’ comments and edits were incorporated into the

Findings of Fact, and Conclusions of Law, and Order Confirming the Seventh Amended Joint

Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code [ECF

No. 9759], entered by the Court on February 24, 2012.

C. Category 120 - Litigation.

14. This category includes several discrete tasks that were specifically requested

by WMI. Although Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP continues to function as the Debtors’ primary

bankruptcy counsel, where it furthers the interest of economy and efficiency, KTBS has assisted

with litigation issues within its knowledge and experience. The tasks included, but were not

138501 1 8

limited to, (i) analyzing certain claims against WMI and its affiliates; (ii) investigating potential

claims held by WMI and advising WMI with respect to those claims; (iii) analyzing the Debtors’

insurance policies; (iv) performing extensive research regarding the effect of certain insurance

policy provisions, and advising WMI in connection with the insurance policies; (v) examining

tolling agreements to preserve potential claims of the Debtors; and (vi) preparing for and

analyzing depositions. As reflected in the billing entries attached as Exhibit A, KTBS’s services

have not been duplicative of the services of Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP or Quinn Emanuel

Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP.

15. The foregoing professional services performed by KTBS were (a) necessary

and appropriate to the administration of the Debtors’ chapter Ii cases, (b) in the best interests of

the Debtors and their estates, and (c) provided without unnecessary duplication of effort or

expense incurred by other professionals and paraprofessionals employed by the Debtors.

Compensation for the foregoing services, as requested, is commensurate with the complexity,

importance, and nature of the problems, issues, or tasks involved. The professional services

were performed with expedition and in an efficient manner.

REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES

16. During the Application Period, KTBS incurred certain necessary expenses in

rendering legal services to WMI. KTBS seeks reimbursement for its reasonable, necessary and

actual expenses incurred during the Application Period for the total amount of $120.00.

Attached as Exhibit B are KTBS’s itemized records detailing expenses incurred on behalf of

WMI for the month of February 2012. Pursuant to Local Rule 2016-2(e)(iv), receipts or other

support for the expense items are available on request.

138501.1 9

LEGAL STANDARD

17. Bankruptcy Code section 330(a) allows the payment of:

(A) reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered by the trustee, examiner, ombudsman, professional person, or attorney and by any paraprofessional person employed by any such person; and

(B) reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.

11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1). Reasonableness of compensation is evaluated by the "market-driven

approach" which considers the nature, extent and value of services provided by the professional

and cost of comparable services in the non-bankruptcy contexts. See Zolfo Cooper & Co. v.

Sunbeam-Oster Co., 50 F.3d 253, 258 (3d Cir. 1995); In re Busy Beaver Building Ctr., Inc., 19

F.3d 833, 849 (3d Cir. 1994). Thus, the "baseline rule is for firms to receive their customary

rates." Zolfo Cooper, 50 F.3d at 259.

18. In accordance with its practices in non-bankruptcy matters, KTBS has

calculated its compensation requested in its Application by applying its standard hourly rates,

which it charges to other bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy clients. KTBS’s hourly rates are

within the range of rates that are charged by comparable firms in similar bankruptcy cases.

Accordingly, KTBS’s rates should be determined to be reasonable under section 330 of the

Bankruptcy Code.

19. Other guideline factors to be considered in awarding attorneys’ fees were

enumerated in Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714, 717 (5th Cir. 1974), a

non-bankruptcy case. See also In re First Colonial Corp. of Am., 544 F.2d 1291, 1298-99 (5th

Cir. 1977) (applying the Johnson factors to a case under the Bankruptcy Act). The Third Circuit

has suggested that the Johnson guideline factors, which are set forth below, may be relevant to

determining attorneys’ fees under the Bankruptcy Code. See, e.g., In re Lan Assocs. XI, L.P.,

138501,1 10

192 F.3d 109, 123 & n.8 (3d Cir. 1999) (enumerating the Johnson factors and noting that "many

courts continue to employ the twelve factors set forth in Johnson ...."). KTBS respectfully

submits that, if necessary, a consideration of these factors would result in this Court’s allowance

of the full compensation sought.

(1) The Time and Labor Required. KTBS’s professional services on behalf of WMI have required 78.70 hours of attorney time in the Application Period. KTBS has staffed these cases efficiently. A significant amount of the services rendered required a high degree of professional competence and expertise. For those services KTBS used one or two senior attorneys in the interests of staffing the case efficiently.

(2) The Novelty and Difficulty of Questions. Novel and complex issues arose during the Application Period. KTBS has advised WMI with respect to these issues.

(3) The Skill Requisite to Perform the Legal Services Properly. These consolidated bankruptcy cases address issues with respect to which hundreds of millions or billions of dollars are at stake, and which raise novel questions of law. The cases require a high level of skill and expertise to perform the legal services properly.

(4) The Preclusion of Other Employment by Applicant Due to Acceptance of the Case. KTBS is not aware of any other employment precluded by acceptance of these cases. However, KTBS attorneys who were busy providing services to WMI were not available to service other clients at their customary rates.

(5) The Customary Fee. The compensation sought herein is based upon KTBS’s normal hourly rates for services of this kind and is competitive with other national bankruptcy firms.

(6) Whether the Fee is Fixed or Contingent. KTBS’s fees are fixed, not dependent on the outcome in these cases. However, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 330 and 331, all fees sought by professionals retained under sections 327 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code are contingent pending final approval by the Court.

(7) Time Limitation Imposed by Client or Other Circumstances. KTBS was retained recently and was required to become familiar with a case that has a long history and complex facts very quickly in order to attend to time-sensitive issues as they have arisen.

(8) The Amount Involved and Results Obtained. The amount of time spent on various tasks has been judicious, and KTBS believes that its efforts are benefiting WMI.

138501.1 11

(9) The Experience, Reputation and Ability of the Attorneys. KTBS’s attorneys involved in this representation have played a major role in several large bank bankruptcy cases and other complex bankruptcy litigation matters. KTBS currently represents the Chapter 7 Trustee of IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. and formerly represented the creditors committee of Fremont General Corp. KTBS served as litigation counsel to Enron Corp. in its mega claims litigation, and conflicts counsel to Adelphia Corporation. KTBS’s experience enables it to perform the services described herein expertly and efficiently.

(10) The "Undesirability" of the Case. Although not undesirable, these cases have required a significant commitment of time from several of KTBS’s most experienced attorneys.

(11) Nature and Length of Professional Relationship. KTBS was hired as special litigation counsel to WMI on June 24, 2011, and was retained nunc pro tunc to that date pursuant to an order of this Court entered July 27, 2011.

RESERVATION

20. To the extent time or disbursement charges for services rendered or

disbursements incurred relate to the Application Period but were not processed prior to the

preparation of this Application, or KTBS has for any other reason not sought compensation or

reimbursement of expenses herein with respect to any services rendered or expenses incurred

during the Application Period, KTBS reserves the right to request additional compensation for

such services and reimbursement of such expenses in a future application.

112011 V Lei 0

21. No trustee has been appointed in these chapter 11 cases. Notice of this

Application has been provided to (i) the U.S. Trustee; (ii) counsel for the Creditors’ Committee;

(iii) counsel for the Equity Committee; (iv) all other parties entitled to notice Administrative

Order; and (v) parties entitled to receive notice in these chapter 11 cases pursuant to Rule 2002

of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. In light of the nature of the relief requested, the

Debtors submit that no other or further notice need be provided.

138501.1 12

CONCLUSION

WHEREFORE, KTBS respectfully requests (i) allowance of compensation for

professional services rendered to WMI during the Application Period in the amount of

$53,957.50 and reimbursement for actual and necessary costs and expenses incurred by KTBS

during the Application Period in the amount of $120.00 for a total of $54,077.50; (ii) that, in

accordance with the Administrative Order, the Court direct the Debtors to pay $43,286.00,

representing 80% of the total amount of fees and 100% of the expenses allowed; (iii) that the

allowance of such compensation for professional services rendered and reimbursement of actual

and necessary expenses incurred be without prejudice to KTBS’s right to seek further

compensation for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred; and (iv) that the

Court grant KTBS such other and further relief as is just.
