A detailed description of the Debtors and their business, including the facts and

three-month intervals thereafter, each of the Professionals may file and serve on the Application
Recipients an interim fee application (each, an “Interim Fee Application”) for compensation and
reimbursement of expenses sought in the Monthly Fee Statements served during such period. See
Interim Compensation Order ¶ 2(e). Application Recipients will have twenty-one (21) days after

Fee Application Objection Deadline, the Court, in its discretion, may approve an uncontested
Interim Fee Application without the need for a hearing upon the Professional’s filing of a

Fee Application, the Debtors shall be authorized to promptly pay such Professional all allowed
fees (including the 20% holdback) and expenses not previously paid. Id.
