LIMITED OBJECTION OF MIDLAND LOAN SERVICES, INC. TO THE MONTHLY APPLICATION OF KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP FOR COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES AS ATTORNEYS FOR THE DEBTORS AND DEBTORS IN POSSESSION FOR THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Midland Loan Services, Inc. (Midland)1 hereby files this Limited Objection of Midland Loan Services, Inc. to the Monthly Application of Kirkland & Ellis LLP for Compensation for Services and Reimbursement of Expenses as Attorneys for the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period from September 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 (the Limited Objection), and in support thereof, respectfully represents as follows:
1
Midland is the special servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 13, 2007 (the Special Servicing Agreement) for that certain secured loan in the amount of not less than $825,402,542 plus interest, costs and fees (the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan) owed by certain of the above captioned Debtors. The Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan is secured by cross-collateralized and crossdefaulted first priority mortgages, liens and security interests on forty-five (45) hotel properties and their contents and assets related thereto (collectively, the Midland Properties) and the other collateral, including all cash collateral as such term has meaning under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, generated by the Midland Debtors hotel and business operations with respect to the Midland Properties (the Midland Cash Collateral), as set forth in the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement.
F-287227 1
Preliminary Statement2 1. The Monthly Application cannot be approved as filed. While Midland
appreciates that Kirkland deferred its request for compensation related to the Plan Support Agreement dispute (by deferring a request for payment of items in the Plan and Disclosure Statement matter number), its deferral is inadequate and should be substantially greater. As will be demonstrated below, fees and expenses related to the Plan Support Agreement litigation were posted into matter numbers other than Plan and Disclosure Statement and should not be paid where they were posted. In total, an additional $62,421.62 should be denied.3 This represents $44,433.00 in the Hearings and Court Issues matter as well as $6,677.40 in fees plus $11,31.22 in expenses for the thirteen (13) timekeepers that traveled to New York from other offices for the hearings on September 1, 2010. 2. Also, consideration of the fees charged in relation to the Independent
Committee of its Board is appropriate but is, at present, premature. Consideration of the fees charged to obtain counsel for the Independent Committee should be deferred until Fried Frank discloses and requests payment for its charges for the same time period. It is impossible to evaluate whether duplication of effort exists when only Kirklands charges are reflected. Duplication can only be evaluated when the fees charged by both have been disclosed. Doing otherwise would defeat the purpose of preventing duplication by possibly paying the first to file while allowing the latter to argue that its fees should not be disallowed simply because it filed later. The fees regarding the Independent Committee appear to be imbedded in the Corporate and Securities Issues matter, which has fees of $242,649.00.
2
Capitalized terms otherwise undefined in this Preliminary Statement have the meanings ascribed
below.
3
This is in addition to the deferred fees and expenses which should likewise be denied.
F-287227
3.
It appears that Kirkland charged over $285,000 to defend against the motions to
appoint an official equity committee and to appoint an examiner. These charges were scattered among the Adversary Proceedings and Contested Matters, Creditor and Interest Holder Communications, and Hearings and Court Issues matters. The Court should consider whether incurring such amounts (in addition to the fees and expenses incurred in August 2010) was reasonable. 4. Likewise, the Court should consider whether charging over $135,000.00
regarding exclusivity issues was reasonable for the month of September a month in which there was neither discovery nor litigation on the issue. 5. For clarity and to assist in disbursing undisputed amounts solely for the
purposes of the monthly payment, Midland objects to payments being made based upon $122,060.90 of the $1,507,916.50 charged for the month and $11,804.46 of the $125,798.63 in expenses charged for the month of September as reflected on the table below. The 20%
holdback related to the other fees identified in this Objection is a sufficient reservation pending an actual hearing upon a fee application. Issue Plan Support Agreement Troy Central TOTAL Fees $77,837.90 $44,223.00 $122,060.90 Expenses $11,804.46 0.00 $11,804.46
Background 6. On August 12, 2010, the Court entered its Order Authorizing the Retention and
Employment of Kirkland & Ellis LLP as Attorneys for the Debtor and Debtors in Possession Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date (the Retention Order). Pursuant to the terms of the Retention Order, Kirkland & Ellis LLPs (Kirkland) retention was effective as of July 19, 2010.
F-287227
7.
On August 31, 2010, the Court entered its Order Authorizing the Establishment of
Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals and Official Committee Members (the Fee Procedures Order). Pursuant to the Fee Procedures Order, Notice Parties, as defined in the Fee Procedures Order, must file objections to monthly applications for compensation within twenty (20) days after service of the monthly application for compensation.4 The Fee Procedures Order provides further that nothing in this Order shall affect in any way any special servicers right to object to the use of its cash collateral to fund all or part of the fees and expenses of professionals compensated from the Debtors bankruptcy estates in monthly, interim, or final fee requests nor rule on the appropriateness of such cash collateral use or any entities rights with respect thereto. Fee Procedures Order at p. 7, 10. 8. On October 29, 2010, Kirkland filed its Monthly Application of Kirkland & Ellis
LLP for Compensation for Services and Reimbursement of Expenses as Attorneys for the Debtors and Debtors in Possession for the Period From September 1, 2010 Through September 31, 2010 (the Monthly Application). The Monthly Application indicated that during
September 2010, Kirkland incurred fees of $1,507,916.50 and expenses of $125,798.63 for a total of $1,633,715.13. Kirkland deferred without explanation requesting payment of fees of $26,727.50 and $493.24 in expenses for a total of $27,220.74. Kirkland requested the payment of $1,184,951.20 in fees and $125,798.63 in expenses, and corresponding payment of eighty percent (80%) of the fees and one hundred percent (100%) of the expenses. Pursuant to the Fee Procedures Order, objections to the Fee Application must be filed by November 22, 2010. 9. The use of Midlands Cash Collateral is governed by the Final Order Authorizing
the Debtors to (i) Use the Adequate Protection Parties Cash Collateral and (ii) Provide Adequate
F-287227
Protection to the Adequate Protection Parties Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 361, 362, and 363 dated September 2, 2010 [Docket Entry #402] (as amended) (the Final Cash Collateral Order). Objection A. Midland Objects to Payment of Plan Support Agreement Litigation Costs, including Fees and Expenses in Categories other than Plan and Disclosure Statement 10. Midland objects to the payment of any fees and expenses related to the Plan
Support Agreement litigation as unreasonable and not allowable. The Debtors caused parties to incur millions of dollars of litigation expense in their ultimately futile effort to obtain the assumption of the Plan Support Agreement. No compensation should be allowed for those efforts especially since the fees would be funded from lenders cash collateral. 11. Some of the fees and expenses related to the Plan Support Agreement litigation
are noted in the Plan and Disclosure Statement matter number (which Kirkland indicates are being deferred). However, a significant amount of fees and expenses related to that litigation may also be found in other matter numbers, including those listed below. The fees and expenses are included in this Objection and should be disallowed accordingly are listed below. Matter Description Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorg. Hearings and Court Issues Travel Total Fees $26,727.50 $44,433.00 $6,677.40 $77,837.90 Expenses $493.24 $11,311.22 $11,804.46
12.
Contested Matters, Hearings and Court Issues, and Travel matters are included in Exhibit A.
F-287227
B. Consideration of Fees and Expenses Incurred in Connection with the Independent Committee of Trustees and Funding Professional Fees Should is Premature 13. Consideration of the fees charged in relation to the Independent Committee of
its Board is appropriate but is, at present, premature. Consideration of the fees charged to obtain counsel for the Independent Committee should be deferred until Fried Frank discloses and requests payment for its charges for the same time period. It is impossible to evaluate whether duplication of effort exists when only Kirklands charges are reflected. 14. Duplication can only be evaluated when the fees charged by both have been
disclosed. Doing otherwise would defeat the purpose of preventing duplication by possibly paying the first to file while allowing the latter to argue that its fees should not be disallowed simply because it filed later. The fees regarding the Independent Committee appear to be imbedded primarily within the Corporate and Securities Issues matter, which reflects fees of $242,649.00. 15. Midland and other parties objected to Fried Frank being paid from cash collateral
for work done on behalf of a subset of the Board of Trustees of the Debtors corporate parent (the Independent Committee). The objections included one issue of concern specified by the Court duplication of efforts and billing. 16. The Monthly Application includes a significant number of entries and charges in
the Corporate and Securities matter related to the Independent Committee and Fried Frank, with other Fried Frank charges being found in the Retention and Fee Application Issues matter. The September charges in the Corporate and Securities matter total $242,649.00 and the Retention and Fee Application Issues matter total almost $100,000. Midland is advised that Fried Franks charges for September are approximately $125,000 (with another $115,000 for
F-287227
October). However, Fried Frank has yet to provide that information to any of the parties to receive notice of its charges nor has it provided any detail regarding the services provided. 17. Midlands request for this information pre-dates the hearing on the approval of the
payment of Fried Frank and is included within its pleadings regarding the proposed authorization. As noted above, unless and until Fried Frank provides its billing information to Midland, there is no way to evaluate whether and to what extent the work performed by Fried Frank and the Kirkland may overlap. Accordingly, Midland specifically reserves its right to object to Kirklands charges related to the Independent Committee. C. Substantial Fees and Expenses Incurred in Connection with Requests for an Official Equity Committee and for an Examiner Should be Reviewed for Reasonableness 18. It appears that Kirkland charged over $285,000 in September 2010 to defend
against the motions to appoint an official equity committee and to appoint an examiner. The Court should consider whether incurring such amounts (in addition to the amounts incurred in August 2010) was reasonable. These charges were scattered among the Adversary Proceedings and Contested Matters, Creditor and Interest Holder Communications, and Hearings and Court Issues matters. The majority of the fees were posted to the matter for Creditor and Interest Holder Communications for reasons that are not readily apparent even though litigation can be a form of communication. 19. Tables identifying the specific entries in each of the separate matters are included
in Exhibit A and are summarized below: Matter Adversary Proceedings and Contested Matters Creditor and Interest Holder Communications Hearings and Court Issues TOTAL Fees $88,579.00 $182,881.00 17,337.50 $288,797.50
F-287227
D. Substantial Fees and Expenses Charged in Connection with Motions to Terminate Exclusivity Should be Reviewed for Reasonableness 20. The attached tables include a table listing all charges related to exclusivity issues
which indicates a total of $135,362.00 was charged. It should be noted that the motions to terminate the Debtors exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization was not the subject of a hearing or any discovery during September. In fact, by September 22, 2010, the Debtors were aware that the exclusivity motions would not be heard on September 30 since both motions were adjourned on that date. 21. The charges for three weeks where no discovery requests were propounded and
no depositions were either scheduled or taken were quite substantial by any measure. E. Fees Related to Troy Central Litigation with Marriott Must be Allocated to Floating Rate Pool 22. As noted in Midlands prior Objection, the litigation related to the Troy Central
location dispute with Marriott should be applied to the Floating Rate Pool rather than to the Fixed Rate Pool. Midland continues to object to the use of Midlands Cash Collateral for payment of any fees incurred by the Kirkland in connection with the Marriott Dispute (as defined in its prior Objection). Additionally, and in the alternative, Midland objects to the use of Midlands Cash Collateral for payment of any fees incurred by Kirkland in connection with the Marriott Dispute on the basis that the fees are unreasonable. 23. In September 2010, a total of $44,223.00 was charged regarding that dispute.
F. Kirkland is Only Entitled to Interim Payment for Reasonable Fees and Expenses 24. Section 330(a)(1) of title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code)
permits the Court to award reasonable compensation to an applicant based on the actual and necessary services provided by the applicant and to reimburse the applicant for the actual and necessary expenses incurred by the applicant. See 11 U.S.C 330(a)(1). When determining the
F-287227
reasonableness of fees under section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, courts look to whether the services provided are reasonably likely to benefit the debtors estate. In re Angelika Films 57th Inc., 227 B.R. 29, 42 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1998); see also Stalnaker v. DLC, Ltd. and DLC Family Trust, Ltd. (In re DLC, Ltd.), 295 B.R. 593, 608-09 (B.A.P. 8th Cir. 2003) (fees may be awarded for services that are reasonably likely to benefit the debtors estate and beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered). 25. situations. Section 330(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code prohibits compensation in certain See 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(4). Section 330(a)(4) prohibits compensation for (i)
unnecessary duplication of services; and (ii) services that were not reasonably likely to benefit the debtors estate or necessary to the administration of the case. 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(4). To the extent a request for compensation is not per se prohibited under section 330(a)(4), section 330(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code provides six (6) non-exclusive factors for the courts consideration in evaluating requests for compensation. 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(3). These factors include: (i) the time spent on such services; (ii) the rates charged for such services; (iii) whether the services were necessary to the administration of, or beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered toward the completion of, a case under this title; (iv) whether the services were performed within a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed; (v) with respect to a professional person, whether the person is board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and experience in the bankruptcy field; and (vi) whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under this title. 11 U.S.C. 330(a)(3). 26. Further, the fee applicant bears the burden of proof on his claim for
compensation. Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital v. High River Ltd. P'ship, 369 B.R.
F-287227
111, 115 (S.D.N.Y. 2007); see also Gardere & Wynn v. Turoff (In re Hunt), 196 B.R. 356, 359 (N.D. Tex. 1996); In re Gillett Holdings, Inc., 137 B.R. 462, 471 (Bankr. D. Colo. 1992). Accordingly, an application for compensation and reimbursement of expenses must demonstrate that the professionals services were necessary and made a beneficial contribution to the estate or its creditors. In re Engel, 124 F.3d 567, 573 (3d Cir. 1997). General Reservation of Rights 27. Midland reserves its right to submit additional objections to the compensation
requested by Kirkland when Kirkland submits interim and final fee applications. The failure to raise additional objections at this time is not a wavier of any additional objections thereto. Local Rule 9013-1(a) 28. This pleading includes citations to the applicable rules and statutory authorities
upon which relief requested herein is predicated and a discussion of their application to this pleading. Accordingly, Midland submits that this pleading satisfies Local Bankruptcy Rule 9013-1(a). WHEREFORE, Midland respectfully requests that the Court enter an order (i) sustaining this Limited Objection; (ii) substantially reducing the compensation requested under the Fee Application; and (iii) granting Midland such other and further relief as is equitable and just.
