3. Angeion shall be compensated for fees and reimbursed for reasonable and

the allowance of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred in 

accordance with sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local 

Rules, the order entered by this Court on February 28, 2019 establishing the procedures for interim

Bankruptcy Court Northern District of California Guidelines for Compensation and Expense 

Reimbursement of Professionals and Trustees, effective February 19, 2014, and the U.S. Trustee

contractual dispute in which the TCC alleges the breach of Angeion’s 

contractual obligations if the Court determines that indemnification, 

contribution, or reimbursement would not be permissible, or (iii) for any
