The Committee believes thatengaging GCG is the most cost efficient manner for the Committee to comply with therequirements of section 1102(b)(3) in that the billing rates of GCG are considerably less thanthose of the attorneys for the Committee. Since the function served by GCG is administrative innature, the Committee believes there will be a significant cost savings which ultimately inures tothe benefit of the Debtors’ estates and their creditors, thereby eliminating the administrativeburden of maintaining the Committee Website from the attorneys for the Committee.8.As the fees and expenses to be incurred by GCG under the proposed engagementwill be administrative in nature, the Committee submits that (a) GCG should be exempt from theOrder Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses forProfessionals (Docket No. 112) and (b) this Court should authorize the Debtors to compensateGCG on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of the RetentionAgreement, upon GCG’s submission to the Committee, the Debtors and the United States81438535

HI.).3.The Committee selected GCG to serve as the Information Agent for thesecases, as set forth in more detail in the Application filed contemporaneously herewith. Inconnection with its proposed retention by the Committee in these cases, GCG undertookto determine whether it had any conflicts or other relationships that might cause it not tobe disinterested or hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors. In connectionwith this inquiry, GCG obtained the names of certain interested parties (the “Conflicts4

List”) from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP (“Akin Gump”), counsel to theCommittee, and conducted a thorough conflicts analysis based on that Conflicts List,which is attached hereto as Schedule 1.4.To the best of my knowledge, neither GCG, nor any of its professionalpersonnel, have any relationship with the Committee or the Debtors that would impairGCG’s ability to serve as the Information Agent. GCG does have relationships withsome of the Debtors’ creditors, but they are in matters completely unrelated to thesecases, either as vendors or in cases where GCG serves in a neutral capacity as a classaction settlement claims administrator. GCG’s assistance in cases where GCG acts as aclass action settlement claims administrator has been primarily related to the design anddissemination of legal notices and other administrative functions in class actions. GCGhas working relationships with certain of the professionals retained by the Committee orthe Debtors and other parties herein, but such relationships are completely unrelated tothese chapter 11 cases. I have been advised that Angela Ferrante, a Director at GCG, isan attorney formerly associated with Akin Gump. Ms. Ferrante was employed by AkinGump from May 2003 through December 2006. I have also been advised that, whileemployed at Akin Gump, Ms. Ferrante did not work on any matters involving the Debtors(in fact, Ms. Ferrante was no longer employed by Akin Gump when the Debtors filedtheir respective chapter 11 petitions). In addition, GCG personnel may have relationshipswith some of the Debtors’ creditors; however, such relationships are of a personalfinancial nature and completely unrelated to these chapter 11 cases. GCG has and willcontinue to represent clients in matters unrelated to th
