SUMMARY OF SERVICES
10. During the Fee Period, LAS continued reviewing and analyzing the Debtor’s
claims database and continued researching to help form an estimation of the Debtor’s current and
future asbestos liabilities. It started to prepare an estimation report. LAS also participated in
several meetings and calls with the Committee and counsel to advise on its progress and
findings.
11. The professional services performed by LAS were necessary and appropriate to the
administration of the Debtor’s chapter 11 case. These services were in the best interests of the
Debtor, its estate, and creditors. The compensation requested is commensurate with the
complexity and nature of the issues and tasks involved.
PROGRESS OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASE TO DATE
12. Since the Committee was appointed and engaged LAS, the Committee – with the
assistance of LAS – has engaged in the following work: reviewed and analyzed Bates White’s
5
asbestos claims data, reviewed and analyzed asbestos settlement and trial data, estimated the
Debtor’s current and future asbestos liabilities to assist in the possible settlement of the issues
surrounding this case without the need to commence substantial litigation, reviewed the
documents provided by the Debtor, and commenced work on an estimation report.
13. LAS has not previously applied for payment of any fees or reimbursement of any
disbursement during this Chapter 11 Case except as authorized pursuant to the Interim Fee Order
including: (i) monthly submissions of fee statements; (ii) interim applications as permitted
pursuant to the Interim Fee Order. LAS does not hold a retainer in respect of its services as an
asbestos consultant to the Committee.
LEGAL BASIS FOR REQUESTED RELIEF
14. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of
professionals and incorporates the substantive standards of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code
to govern the Court’s award of such compensation. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code
provides that a court may award a professional employed under section 1103 of the Bankruptcy
Code “reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered . . . and . . .
reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.” 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1)(A) and (B).
15. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code also sets forth the criteria for the award of
such compensation and reimbursement:
In determining the amount of reasonable compensation to be

awarded to . . . [a] professional person, the court shall consider the
nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into
account all relevant factors, including --
(A) the time spent on such services;
(B) the rates charged for such services;
(C) 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;
6
(D) 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;
(E) with respect to a professional person, whether the person is

board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and
experience in the bankruptcy field; and
(F) 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)(A)-(F).
16. The foregoing professional services performed by LAS were appropriate and
necessary to the effective administration of the Chapter 11 Case. The services were in the best
interests of the Committee. Compensation for the foregoing services as requested is
commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problems, as well as issues or
tasks involved. The professional services were performed in an appropriately expeditious and
efficient manner.
17. In accordance with section 504 of the Bankruptcy Code and Fed. R. Bankr. P.
2016(a), no agreement or understanding exists between LAS and any other person for the
sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with
this case.
18. No agreement or understanding prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 155 has been or will be
made by LAS.
THE REQUESTED COMPENSATION SHOULD BE ALLOWED
19. The services for which LAS seeks compensation in this Tenth Interim Fee
Application were, at the time rendered, necessary for, beneficial to, and in the best interests of,
the Committee, the Debtor, and the Debtor’s estate. The services rendered by LAS were
consistently performed in a timely manner commensurate with the complexity, importance, and
7
nature of the issues involved. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the
Bankruptcy Code, it is respectfully submitted that the amount requested by LAS is fair and
reasonable given (a) the complexity of this case, (b) the time expended, (c) the nature and extent
of the services rendered, (d) the value of such services, and (e) the costs of comparable services
other than in a case under this title.
NO PRIOR REQUEST
20. No prior request for the relief sought in this Eighth Interim Fee Application has
been made to this or any other court in connection with the Chapter 11 Case apart from the
delivery of the monthly fee statements.
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
21. The Committee expressly reserves all rights with respect to challenging the
validity, propriety, jurisdiction and venue of this Chapter 11 Case, including without limitation
seeking to dismiss the Chapter 11 Case pursuant 11 U.S.C. § 1112 and seeking to transfer the
Chapter 11 Case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1406, 1408 and 11 U.S.C. § 105.
NOTICE
22. Notice of this Tenth Interim Fee Application has been provided in accordance
with the Interim Compensation Order. LAS submits that no other or further notice need be
provided.
CONCLUSION
WHEREFORE, LAS respectfully requests that the Court: (i) enter the order attached as
Exhibit A granting the Tenth Interim Fee Application and authorizing interim allowance of
compensation in the amount of $461,069.50 for professional services rendered on behalf of the
Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of Bestwall LLC and reimbursement for actual and
necessary expenses in the amount of $1,516.32; (ii) directing payment by the Debtor of the
8
foregoing amounts less any amount already paid pursuant to the Interim Fee Order; and (iii)
granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Re: In re: Bestwall LLC (the "Debtor")

Case No. 17-31795
United States Bankruptcy Court
Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division
Pursuant to the Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and

Reimbursement of Expenses of Retained Professionals entered on December 7, 2017
[Docket No. 132] (the “Compensation Order”), Legal Analysis Systems, Inc. (“LAS”)
submits this monthly fee statement (the “Statement”) as asbestos consultants for The
Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of Bestwall LLC, for the period November 1,
2020 through November 30, 2020 (the “Fee Period”). During the Fee Period, LAS earned
fees of $65,301.00 and incurred expenses of $0.00.
The Compensation Order allows retained professionals such as LAS to request payment of
ninety percent (90%) of their fees and one hundred percent (100%) of their expenses on a
monthly basis. Accordingly, LAS requests payment from the Debtor of $58,770.90
calculated as follows.
$ 65,301.00 (100% of fees)

x .90
$ 58,770.90 (90% of fees)
+ 0.00 (100% of expenses)
$ 58,770.90
Attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Statement is LAS’s invoice describing
the services rendered and the expenses incurred for the Fee Period. A summary listing of the
LAS professionals providing services during the Fee Period as well as an itemized list of
expenses each appears in the invoice.
The amount of fees withheld from LAS at this time that will be sought in an interim fee
application in accordance with the Compensation Order is $6,530.10, which represents the
holdback from this Fee Period.
Objections, if any, to the Fee Statement are due on or before March 3, 2021 and are to be
served pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Order as amended by the Order Approving
the Ex Parte Application of the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of Bestwall LLC for
an Order to Retain Legal Analysis Systems, Inc. as Asbestos Consultants as of December 26,
2017 [Docket No. 176].
