In support of this Application, Gowlings respectfully represents as follows: Background 1. On May 17, 2012 (the "Involuntary Petition Date"), involuntary petitions were filed against Al1ied Systems Holdings, Inc. ("Allied Holdings") and its subsidiary Allied Systems, Ltd. (L.P.) ("Allied Systems") under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court On June 10, 2012 (the "Voluntary Petition Date," and together with the Involuntary Petition Date, the "Petition D a t e , ~ ' as applicable to the particular Debtor), the remaining Debtors filed voluntary petitions in this Court and, in connection therewith, AJlied Holdings and Allied Systems consented to the involuntary petitions filed against them. Additional information regarding the Debtors' business and the background relating to events leading up to the above- captioned chapter 11 cases can be found in the Declaration of Scott D. Macaulay in Support of First-Day Pleadings (Docket No. 80] which was filed on the Voluntary Petition Date. 2. Gowlings was retained effective as of the Voluntary Petition Date by this Court' s Order dated August 7, 2012 (the "Retention Order"). The Retention Order authorized Gowlings 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 Gowlings were performed for or on behalf of the Debtors. 4. Except to the extent of the retainer paid to Gowlings as described in the application seeking approval of Gowlings' employment by the Debtors during the period covered by this Application, Gowlings has received no payment and no promises for payment from any - 2- source for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with the matters covered by this Application. There is no agreement or understanding between Gowlings and any other person for the sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in these cases. Fee Statements 5. The fee statement for the Compensation Period is attached hereto as Exhibit B. This statement contains dai ly time logs describing the time spent by each professional and paraprofessional for this period. To the best of Gowlings' knowledge, this Application complies with sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Guidelines adopted by the Office of the United States Trustee, Del. Bankr. L.R. 2016-2, and the Administrative Order. Actual and Necessary Expenses 6. A summary of actual and necessary expenses and daily logs of expenses incurred by Gowlings during the Compensation Period is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Gowlings charges all of its bankruptcy clients $.10 per page for photocopying expenses and $.10 per page for printing. Actual long-distance carrier charges for outgoing facsimile transmissions are reflected in the long-distance telephone charges. 7. Regarding providers of on-line legal research ( ~ LEXIS and WESTLAW), Gowlings charges all of its clients the standard usage rates these providers charge, which, due to contractual flat fees, may not always equal Gowlings' actual cost. Gow)jngs currently is under contract to pay these providers a flat fee eyery month. Charging its clients the on-line providers' standard usage rates allows Gowlings to cover adequately the monthly flat fees it must pay to these types of providers. - 3 - 8.
