ANSWER: The fees sought in Baker’s Application fell in line with those budgeted as a 

whole. On occasion, fees associated with one particular task code may have exceeded the fees 

budgeted for that task code. For other task codes, however, Baker’s fees were less than the amount 

budgeted, bringing the total amount of fees sought by Baker in this Application in line to the fees 

budgeted for at the inception of this engagement. As such, the fees sought did not exceed the fees 

budgeted by 10% or more in the period covered by this Application.

ANSWER: Baker reviewed each time entry in the billing records submitted with this 

Application in connection with preparation of the required monthly fee statements for the TCC as 

necessary to confirm tasks were allocated to an appropriate task code by each timekeeper and that 

each task was adequately described as required by the Guidelines and as necessary to facilitate the 

Fee Examiner’s evaluation of the reasonableness of the fees requested by this Application. On 

occasion during this review, time entries may have been moved from one task code to another task 

code as appropriate or divided up and apportioned between two or more task codes†

 where the 

time entry clearly reflected work performed that impacted more than one area of Baker’s 

representation of the TCC, as necessary to adhere to the budget. Baker estimates that between eight 

[8] to twelve [12] hours each month for the period covered by this Application was spent 

performing such work. The Application does not include time or fees related to preparing, 

reviewing, or revising invoices.

Examiner’s evaluation of the reasonableness of the fees requested by this Application. Each of 

Applicant’s timekeepers have been instructed to consider issues of confidentiality 

contemporaneously with drafting his or her time entries so that a further subsequent review of time 

records in connection with an assessment of privilege or confidentiality is, for the most part, 

unnecessary. Baker’s billing records submitted with this Application contain very few redactions, 

and Baker has submitted unredacted invoices to the Fee Examiner and believes the Fee Examiner 

possesses sufficient information with which to evaluate the reasonableness of fees chargedBaker

estimates no more than three [3] hours were spent evaluating confidentiality of time entries for this 

Application Period.

ANSWER: The Application and proposed order accompanying the Application do not 

request any rate increases since Baker was retained as counsel to the TCC. However, there was an 

erroneous increase in the hourly rates of two timekeepers on Baker’s First Interim Fee Application 

due to a programming error for which Baker is filing an amendment reducing the hourly rates. 

Specifically, Elizabeth Green was reflected as having an hourly rate of $720, however, her standard 

hourly billing rate is $690. In addition, Andrew Layden was reflected as having an hourly rate of 

$550, however, his standard hourly billing rate is $410. As such, the amendment to Baker’s First 

Interim Fee Application being filed by Baker will reduce the fees attributed to the work performed 

by Elizabeth Green and Andrew Layden by $4,327 for the First Interim Application Period, and

the instant application is reducing the fees attributed to the work performed by Elizabeth Green 

and Andrew Layden by $9,773 for the Second Interim Application Period. 

Otherwise, prior to any decision to increase rates for the engagement as counsel to the 

TCC, Baker will discuss the matter with the TCC and will advise the TCC they need not agree to 

modified rates or terms in order for Baker to continue representing the TCC. Baker typically adjusts 

rates at the beginning of each calendar year, and this is routinely disclosed in Baker’s engagement 

letters to clients.
