LEGAL BASIS FOR REQUESTED RELIEF

29. 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).

30. 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;

(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).

31. The foregoing professional services performed by Robinson+Cole 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. In addition, Robinson+Cole has made every effort to

minimize its disbursements in this case. The actual expenses incurred in providing professional

services were absolutely necessary, reasonable, and justified under the circumstances to serve the

needs of the Committee.

32. In accordance with section 504 of the Bankruptcy Code and Fed. R. Bankr. P.

2016(a), no agreement or understanding exists between Robinson+Cole and any other person for

the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection

with this case.

33. No agreement or understanding prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 155 has been or will be

made by Robinson+Cole.

Interim Fee Application were, at the time rendered, necessary for, beneficial to, and in the best

interests of, the Committee and the Debtor’s estate. The services rendered by Robinson+Cole

were consistently performed in a timely manner commensurate with the complexity, importance,

and 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 Robinson+Cole 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

34. No prior request for the relief sought in this Seventh 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.

MONTHLY FEE STATEMENT

To Notice Parties on Schedule 1, Attached (Via E-Mail)

From Robinson & Cole LLP

Date: December 18, 2020

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”), Robinson & Cole LLP (“RC”) submits this monthly
fee statement (the “Statement”) as counsel to 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, RC earned fees of $326,041.50 and incurred expenses of
$10,201.93.

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 $303,639.28 calculated as follows:
$326,041.50 (100% of fees)
x .90
$293,437.35 (90% of fees)
+ $10,201.93 (100% of expenses)
$ 303,639.28

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 $32,604.15, which represents the
holdback from this Fee Period.

Objections, if any, to the Fee Statement are due on or before January 4, 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].

MONTHLY FEE STATEMENT

To Notice Parties on Schedule 1, Attached (Via E-Mail)

From Robinson & Cole LLP

Date: February 16, 2021

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”), Robinson & Cole LLP (“RC”) submits this monthly
fee statement (the “Statement”) as counsel to The Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants
of Bestwall LLC, for the period December 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Fee
Period”). During the Fee Period, RC earned fees of $432,058.00 and incurred expenses of
$4,468.51.

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].

MONTHLY FEE STATEMENT

To Notice Parties on Schedule 1, Attached (Via E-Mail)

From Robinson & Cole LLP

Date: April 2, 2021

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”), Robinson & Cole LLP (“RC”) submits this monthly
fee statement (the “Statement”) as counsel to The Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants
of Bestwall LLC, for the period January 1, 2021 through January 31, 2021 (the “Fee
Period”). During the Fee Period, RC earned fees of $798,822.50 and incurred expenses of
$4,869.79.

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
of Asbestos Claimants [Docket No. 803].

MONTHLY FEE STATEMENT

To Notice Parties on Schedule 1, Attached (Via E-Mail)

From Robinson & Cole LLP

Date: April 2, 2021

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”), Robinson & Cole LLP (“RC”) submits this monthly
fee statement (the “Statement”) as counsel to The Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants
of Bestwall LLC, for the period February 1, 2021 through February 28, 2021 (the “Fee
Period”). During the Fee Period, RC earned fees of $79,176.50 and incurred expenses of
$43,427.33.

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
of Asbestos Claimants [Docket No. 803].
