The Supreme Court of Delaware issued the August 12, 2020 Order Regarding Certified Limited Practice Privilege
for 2020 Delaware Bar Applicants (the “Limited Practice Order”). Pursuant to the Limited Practice Order, the
Supreme Court of Delaware decreed that due to the ongoing public health emergency arising from the COVID-19
pandemic, the 2020 Delaware bar examination has been cancelled. The Supreme Court and the Board of Bar
Examiners for the State of Delaware have implemented a temporary limited practice rule to this year’s bar
candidates to perform legal work in Delaware, under the supervision of a Delaware lawyer, until the next
administration of the bar exam. Mr. Messina submitted his application and is acting pursuant to the Limited Practice
Order. A copy of the Limited Practice Order is available at:

The Compensation Order allows retained professionals such as RC to request payment of ninety
percent (90%) of their fees and one hundred percent (100%) of their expenses on a monthly
basis. Accordingly, RC requests payment from the Debtor of $393,320.71 calculated as follows:
$432,058.00 (100% of fees)
x .90
$388,852.20 (90% of fees)
+ $4,468.51 (100% of expenses)
$ 393,320.71
Attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Statement is RC’s invoice describing the
services rendered and the expenses incurred for the Fee Period. A summary listing of the RC
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 RC at this time that will be sought in an interim fee
application in accordance with the Compensation Order is $43,205.80, which represents the
holdback from this Fee Period.
Objections, if any, to the Fee Statement are due on or before March 2, 2021 and are to be
served pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Order as amended by the Amended Order
Granting Retention of Robinson & Cole LLP as Substitute Counsel to the Official Committee
of Asbestos Claimants [Docket No. 803].

The Compensation Order allows retained professionals such as RC to request payment of ninety
percent (90%) of their fees and one hundred percent (100%) of their expenses on a monthly
basis. Accordingly, RC requests payment from the Debtor of $723,810.04 calculated as follows:
$798,822.50 (100% of fees)
x .90
$718,940.25 (90% of fees)
+ $4,869.79 (100% of expenses)
$ 723,810.04
Attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Statement is RC’s invoice describing the
services rendered and the expenses incurred for the Fee Period. A summary listing of the RC
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 RC at this time that will be sought in an interim fee
application in accordance with the Compensation Order is $79,882.25, which represents the
holdback from this Fee Period.
Objections, if any, to the Fee Statement are due on or before March 2, 2021 and are to be
served pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Order as amended by the Amended Order
Granting Retention of Robinson & Cole LLP as Substitute Counsel to the Official Committee

The Compensation Order allows retained professionals such as RC to request payment of ninety
percent (90%) of their fees and one hundred percent (100%) of their expenses on a monthly
basis. Accordingly, RC requests payment from the Debtor of $114,686.18 calculated as follows:
$ 79,176.50 (100% of fees)
x .90
$ 71,258.85 (90% of fees)
+ $43,427.33 (100% of expenses)
$ 114,686.18
Attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Statement is RC’s invoice describing the
services rendered and the expenses incurred for the Fee Period. A summary listing of the RC
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 RC at this time that will be sought in an interim fee
application in accordance with the Compensation Order is $7,917.65, which represents the
holdback from this Fee Period.
Objections, if any, to the Fee Statement are due on or before March 2, 2021 and are to be
served pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Order as amended by the Amended Order
Granting Retention of Robinson & Cole LLP as Substitute Counsel to the Official Committee
