The foregoing professional services performed by Weil were necessary and
appropriate to the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases and were in the best interests of the
Debtors’ estates and their stakeholders. Compensation for the foregoing services as requested is
commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problems, issues, and tasks
involved. The professional services were performed skillfully and efficiently.
Actual and Necessary Disbursements
13.
Weil requests allowance of actual and necessary expenses incurred during
the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of $14,835.24. Annexed hereto as Exhibit B is a list of
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 600 Filed 03/03/23 Page 12 of 15

Weil’s itemized actual and necessary expenses. Weil’s disbursement policies pass through all out-
of-pocket expenses at actual cost or an estimated actual cost when the actual cost is difficult to
determine. For example, with respect to duplication charges, Weil charges $0.10 per black and
white page and $0.50 per color page because the actual cost is difficult to determine. Similarly,
as it relates to computerized research, Weil believes that it does not make a profit on that service
as a whole, although the cost of any particular search is difficult to ascertain. Other reimbursable
expenses (whether the service is performed by Weil in-house or through a third-party vendor)
include, but are not limited to, overtime meals, deliveries, travel, and local transportation.
Reservation of Rights
14.
To the extent time or disbursement charges for services rendered or
disbursements incurred relate to the Fee Period but were not processed prior to the preparation of
this Fee Statement, or Weil has for any other reason not sought compensation or reimbursement
of expenses herein with respect to any services rendered or expenses incurred during the Fee
Period, Weil reserves the right to request additional compensation for such services and
reimbursement of such expenses in a future fee statement.
Notice
15.
Notice of this Fee Statement will be provided in accordance with the Interim
Compensation Order on the Fee Notice Parties (as defined in the Interim Compensation Order).
No further notice is required.

no objections are timely filed and Weil files a certificate of no objection with the Court in
