On November 10, 2009, the Court entered an Order Granting Receiver’s Motion for Approval of Interim Compensation Procedures for Receiver and Receiver’s Retained Professionals (“November 10 Order”). 4. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the November 10 Order, the Receiver and his counsel Paul, Johnson, Park & Niles (“PJPN”) filed their Monthly Statements (as that term is defined in the November 10 Order), reflecting ninety percent (90%) of the fees for services rendered, and one hundred percent (100%) of the costs incurred, if any, by the Receiver and PJPN, respectively, in this action as follows: • Statements for January, 2010 were filed on February 17, 2010; • Statements for February, 2010 were filed on March 24, 2010; • Statements for March, 2010 were filed on April 22, 2010; • Statements for April, 2010 were filed on June 3, 2010; • Statements for May, 2010 were filed on June 29, 2010; and • Statements for June, 2010 were filed on July 26, 2010. 5.

As reflected in the Monthly Statements filed by the Receiver, the total sum of $10,625.03 represents one hundred percent (100%) of the fees for 3 services rendered by the Receiver for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2010, and consists of the amount of $9,562.52 that the Receiver was previously authorized to receive under the procedures set forth in the November 10 Order and the unpaid balance of $1,062.51 (the remaining 10% of the fees not theretofore approved) for this period. 7. As reflected in the Monthly Statements filed by PJPN, the total sum of $7,389.51 represents one hundred percent (100 %) of the fees for services rendered and costs incurred by PJPN for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2010, and consists of the amount of $6,672.23 that PJPN was previously authorized to receive under the procedures set forth in the November 10 Order and the unpaid balance of $717.28 (the remaining 10% of the fees not theretofore approved) for this period.
