<br />Hi Samantha,
<br />We did, thanks. I hope you did as well.
<br />At present, our A/R and WIP is about $35,000. Assuming that all we need to do in this case is finalize
<br />the direction letter and vote the ballot, Ill probably no more than $36,000 to $38,000. If we are
<br />going to have to chase the Debtors and the Committee for our fees, that number will go higher.
<br />Beyond voting the ballot, I am not sure what else will be left to do in the case, though assuming that
<br />we resolve the fee issue. I don't presently have authority, of course, to agree to cap our fees, but we
<br />have worked efficiently until now to keep the fees low, and well continue to do so.
<br />Best,
<br />Phil

<br />Hi Phil,
<br />Hope you had a good holiday.
<br />In the morning, can you please send me HK's current total amount incurred, and HK's estimated
<br />billings for the remainder of the case assuming no further issues?
<br />I'll be speaking with the Debtors and the lenders in the morning and it would be helpful to have this
<br />information by to a.m. if possible.
<br />Thanks,
<br />Samantha

<br />Hi Phil,
<br />We discussed the payment of your fees with the Debtors' counsel, and we received this response:
<br />Hi Samantha:
<br />Geoff and I spoke yesterday afternoon. After talking with him and reviewing the
<br />settlement and related documents, we think Cortland released these fees. A release of
<br />the fees was definitely an intent of the settlement from the Creditors' Committee and
<br />Debtors' perspectives. Based on our conversation yesterday, I let Geoff know that
<br />Cortland's total fee request is expected to be between $35,000 and $40,000. Under the
<br />Plan, administrative expense requests and final fee applications must be filed no later
<br />than 30 days after the Effective Date. We expect the Effective Date to occur on or
<br />around January 29, 2021. The estate has sufficient funds to pay all administrative
<br />expenses and allowed professional fees in full, including these Cortland fees if a timely
<br />administrative expense request is filed and the fees are allowed. As of yesterday, I
<br />know Geoff had not spoken to Phil. I'll follow up with Geoff about that. Let me know if
<br />you want to discuss further. Doug.
<br />Best,
<br />Samantha
