(the Interim Compensation Order). respectfully states as follows:
In support of this Sixth Interim Fee Application, K&E
Background 1. On May 17, 2005 (the Petition Date), the Debtors filed their voluntary petitions
for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their businesses and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Petition Date, the Court entered an order jointly administering these cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). 2. On May 24, 2005, the United States trustee appointed an official committee of
unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Committee). 3. On January 24, 2007, the Debtors filed the First Amended Joint Plan of Collins & On
Aikman Corporation and Its Debtor Subsidiaries [Docket No. 3976] (the Plan).
January 26, 2007, the Court entered an order approving the Debtors amended disclosure
The total expenses requested reflect a deduction in the amount of $3,068.62 for expenses included in the Monthly Fee Statements (as defined below) that K&E has voluntarily waived.
statement related to the Plan [Docket No. 3988]. Pursuant to this order, the Debtors commenced the solicitation process in connection with the Plan. The Plan is supported by the unofficial steering committee for the Debtors senior, secured prepetition lenders, the Committee and the Debtors customers. This Court has scheduled a hearing on confirmation of the Plan for July 12, 2007. 4. On June 12, 2007, the Court entered an order authorizing and approving the sale
of substantially all of the assets of the Debtors Carpet & Acoustics Business [Docket No. 7458]. Additionally, the Debtors are in the process of selling, among other things, their Interiors Plastics Group and Exterior Plastics Group as going concerns, winding down their non-salable businesses and liquidating their remaining assets. Retention of and Continuing Disinterestedness of Kirkland & Ellis LLP 5. By this Courts order dated May 26, 2005, the Debtors were authorized to retain
K&E as their counsel, effective as of the Petition Date, with regard to the filing and prosecution of the chapter 11 cases and all related matters [Docket No. 138] (the Retention Order). The Retention Order authorizes the Debtors to compensate K&E at K&Es hourly rates charged for services of this type and to reimburse K&E for K&Es actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred, subject to application to this Court as set forth therein. The Retention Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6. As disclosed in the Affidavit of Richard M. Cieri in Support of Application for an
Order Authorizing the Employment and Retention of Kirkland & Ellis LLP as Attorneys for the Debtors filed on May 17, 2005 (as supplemented by supplemental affidavits, the Affidavits), K&E does not hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtors estate, and is a disinterested person as that term is defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
7.
K&E may have in the past represented, may currently represent, and likely in the
future will represent parties-in-interest in connection with matters unrelated to the Debtors and the chapter 11 cases. K&E disclosed its connections to parties-in-interest that it has been able to ascertain using its reasonable efforts in the Affidavits. K&E has and will continue to update the Affidavits when necessary and as appropriate. 8. K&E performed the services for which it is seeking compensation on behalf of or
for the Debtors and their estates, and not on behalf of any committee, creditor or other entity. 9. Except to the extent of the advance payments paid to K&E that K&E previously
disclosed to this Court in the Affidavits, K&E has received no payment and no promises for payment from any source other than the Debtors for services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity whatsoever in connection with the chapter 11 cases. 10. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2016(b), K&E has not shared, nor has K&E agreed
to share (a) any compensation it has received or may receive with another party or person other than with the partners, counsel and associates of K&E or (b) any compensation another person or party has received or may receive. 11. This is the sixth interim fee application that K&E has submitted in the chapter 11
cases. K&E has served the following monthly fee statements covering the Interim Fee Period (collectively, the Monthly Fee Statements) on the United States trustee, counsel to the Committee, counsel to the prepetition secured lenders and counsel to the postpetition secured lenders: a. b. Monthly Fee Statement for the period January 1, 2007 through January 31, 2007; Monthly Fee Statement for the period February 1, 2007 through February 28, 2007;

Monthly Fee Statement for the period March 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007; and Monthly Fee Statement for the period April 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007.
The Monthly Fee Statement for January 2007 included a voluntary waiver of fees
in the amount of $34,353.00 and expenses in the amount of $5,300.19. The Monthly Fee Statement for February 2007 included a voluntary waiver of fees in the amount of $31,085.50 and expenses in the amount of $6,539.93. The Monthly Fee Statement for March 2007 included a voluntary waiver of fees in the amount of $47,101.00 and expenses in the amount of $9,213.44. The Monthly Fee Statement for April 2007 included a voluntary waiver of fees in the amount of $35,041.50 and expenses in the amount of $20,536.28. In total, the Monthly Fee Statements from January 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007 included a voluntary waiver of fees in the amount of $147,581.00 and expenses in the amount of $41,589.84 for a grand total of fees and expenses waived in the amount of $189,170.84 during the Interim Fee Period. Additionally, in preparing the Sixth Interim Fee Application, K&E voluntarily agreed to waive an additional $4,920.00 in fees and $3,068.62 in expenses that were originally requested in the Monthly Fee Statements. According, K&E has adjusted the total amount of payment of fees and reimbursements of expenses that it is requesting in the Sixth Interim Fee Application by such amounts. 13. As of the date herein, K&E has received $3,147,436.74 from the Debtors for fees
and expenses incurred by K&E during the Interim Fee Period. This represents 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses incurred and submitted by K&E for the January, February, and March 2007 Monthly Fee Statements. The objection deadline for the April 2007 Monthly Fee Statement expires on June 15, 2007. As of the date of this filing, K&E has not been paid for any fees or expenses for the April 2007 Monthly Fee Statement.

incurred by K&E for identifiable, non-overhead expenses incurred in connection with the representation of the relevant client that would not have been incurred except for representation of that particular client. Examples of such expenses are postage, overnight mail, courier
delivery, computer-assisted legal research, photocopying, printing, out-going facsimile transmissions, airfare and lodging. 54. K&E charges between $0.10 and $0.20 per page for duplication based on office

Order, covering the period from January 1, 2007 through April 30, 2007. Although every effort has been made to include all fees and expenses from the Interim Fee Period in this Sixth Interim Fee Application, some fees and expenses might not be included due to delays caused by accounting and processing procedures. K&E reserves the right to make further application to the Court for allowance of fees and expenses not included herein. As to fees and expenses incurred after April 30, 2007, K&E will include such amounts in future monthly fee statements and interim fee applications. 56. The total time spent by K&E during the period covered by this Fourth Interim Fee
Application was 11,764.70 hours, including 9,309.20 attorney hours and 2,455.50 paraprofessional hours, which represents fees of $212,053.50. The average hourly rate for the services rendered is $443.02. The average hourly rate for time spent by attorneys is $511.78. K&E has incurred out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $168,331.25 and requests reimbursement thereof. A summary of out-of-pocket expenses and an itemized list of each disbursement made are attached within Exhibit E. 57. In summary, by this Sixth Interim Fee Application, K&E requests allowance and
payment of any outstanding amounts of fees and expenses in the total amount of $5,380,384.75 consisting of: (a) $5,212,053.50 for the actual, reasonable and necessary professional services rendered by K&E on behalf of the Debtors (representing 100% of fees for services rendered during the Interim Fee Period, including the 20% previously held back during the Interim Fee Period pursuant to the Interim Compensation Order); and (b) $168,331.25 for actual and
22
necessary costs and expenses. As K&E continues to represent the Debtors throughout the chapter 11 cases, there will continue to be certain earned fees for which K&E has not been paid, including fees for which a monthly fee statement has not been submitted and for the 20% holdback for those monthly fee statements for which an interim fee application has not been submitted or is still subject to objection. At the time of filing the Sixth Interim Fee Application, K&E had not been paid any fees or expenses for April 2007. Accordingly, the estates will remain protected should the Court grant K&Es request for payment of the holdback. WHEREFORE, K&E respectfully requests the entry of an order (a) allowing an administrative expense claim for K&E compensation and reimbursement for its fees and expenses incurred during the Interim Fee Period, (b) authorizing and directing payment of such amounts and (c) granting such other and further relief as is just and proper.
