Jurisdiction 1. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1334.
This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). 2. 3. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105(a),
327(a) and 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101-1330 (the Bankruptcy Code), Rules 2014, 2016 and 5002 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
(the Bankruptcy Rules) and Rule 2014-1 of the Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the Local Rules). Background 4. 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. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these cases. On the Petition Date, the Court entered an order jointly administering these cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). 5. On May 24, 2005, the United States trustee appointed an official
committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code. 6. The Debtors and their non-debtor affiliates are leading global suppliers of
automotive components, systems and modules to all of the worlds largest vehicle manufacturers, including DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, Honda Motor Company, Inc., Nissan Motor Company Unlimited, Porsche Cars GB, Renault Crateur DAutomobiles, Toyota SA and Volkswagen AG.

leases and interests, the Debtors submitted to this Court their application for an order authorizing the employment and retention of the Appraiser nunc pro tunc to December 8, 2005 [Docket No. 1889] (the Retention Application). On January 6, 2006, this Court entered an order granting the relief requested in the Retention Application [Docket No. 2028]. Upon the conditions and terms set forth in the Retention Application and the accompanying order, the Appraiser has begun to physically appraise certain machinery and equipment which are the subject of leases the Debtors maintain with Textron, Inc. and General Electric Capital Corporation. 8. The Debtors continue to evaluate their outstanding personal property
leases and interests to determine the appropriate action regarding such leases and interests. In addition, the Debtors have begun to evaluate certain of their owned machinery and equipment. To maximize the benefits of this process for their estates, the Debtors have determined that they continue to require the services of the Appraiser. As such, the Debtors have specifically
requested that the Appraiser physically appraise certain machinery and equipment owned by the Debtors (the Assets), which are located at certain of the Debtors facilities in North Carolina. In connection with these services, the Appraiser will provide its opinion as to the fair market value and gross liquidation value the Debtors may receive upon a sale of the Assets under certain conditions described in the engagement letter, dated as of January 11, 2006, between the Appraiser and the Debtors (the Engagement Letter), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 9. To complete the appraisal of the Assets as expeditiously as possible, the
Debtors requested that the Appraiser immediately begin work to appraise the Assets. The
3
K&E 10940580.3
Appraiser has done its best to be responsive and to protect the Debtors interests and has performed the requested services for the Debtors since January 11, 2006, without payment. Nunc pro tunc retention will assure the Appraiser that it is not penalized for the delay in the filing of this Supplemental Application. 10. Moreover, as the Debtors continue to evaluate their machinery and
equipment along with their personal property leases and interests, the Debtors anticipate that they will require additional services of the Appraiser. Accordingly, the Debtors propose that to the extent they require additional services of the Appraiser, the Debtors will file with the Court and serve on the Core Group3 an amended engagement letter describing such services and the rate structure for such services (which the Debtors anticipate will be on substantially similar terms to those approved by the Court in connection with the Retention Application), and if there are no objections filed to the amended engagement letter within ten (10) days of such filing, the amended engagement letter and the terms and services set forth therein shall be submitted to the Court along with a draft order. Relief Requested 11. By this Supplemental Application, the Debtors seek entry of an order
pursuant to sections 327(a) and 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 2014(a), 2016 and 5002 and Local Rule 2014-1 (a) authorizing the Debtors to expand the scope of their retention of the Appraiser in these cases nunc pro tunc to January 11, 2006, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Engagement Letter, (b) approving the terms of the Appraisers employment, including the proposed fee structure, set forth in the Engagement Letter and

(c) approving the procedures set forth above to obtain additional services of the Appraiser. Terms of the Engagement Letter 12. (a) The material terms of the Engagement Letter are as follows:4 The Appraiser will review and physically appraise the Assets of the Debtors in order to determine the fair market value, gross liquidation value and remaining useful life of such Assets. The Appraiser will provide to the Debtors (i) a pictorial record of the Assets as of the date of appraisal, (ii) an opinion of the fair market value and gross liquidation value the Debtors may receive upon sale of the Assets appraised under certain conditions described in the Engagement Letter and (iii) a report, in letterform, of the total value of the Assets appraised with a statement of conditions and a signed certificate of appraisal. The Appraiser will be paid a fixed fee of $35,000 and reimbursed for any customary, travel expenses. Payment under the Engagement Letter is subject to the interim compensation procedures approved in these cases, as well as sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code. If the Appraiser is required to give expert witness testimony with respect to its appraisal services under the Engagement Letter, its fee will be (i) $300 per hour for research and client consultation, (ii) $2,500 per day for deposition and court testimony including travel days and (iii) reimbursement for all normal and customary administrative and travel expenses.

Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals and Official Committee Members entered on June 9, 2005 [Docket No. 290] (the Interim Compensation Order), applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules and any applicable orders of the Court. The interim fee statements will contain descriptions of the services rendered and the work performed by the Appraiser during the period for which compensation is sought. Disinterestedness 14. As required by Bankruptcy Rule 2014 and Local Rule 2014-1, the
Appraiser submitted, in connection with the Retention Application, an affidavit setting forth the Appraisers connections with the Debtors, creditors, parties in interest, the United States trustee and any person employed in the Office of the United States trustee (the Affidavit), a copy of which is attached to the Retention Application as Exhibit C. The disclosures in the Affidavit have not changed since its filing and are incorporated into this Supplemental Application by reference. 15. To the best of the Appraisers knowledge and except as disclosed in the
Affidavit, the Appraiser: (a) does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors estates and (b) 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. Furthermore, to the best of the Debtors knowledge, except as set forth in the Affidavit, the Appraiser (a) continues not to hold or represent an interest adverse to the Debtors estates and (b) remains 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.

K&E 10940580.3
Basis for Relief 16. Section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code governs a debtors employment of
professional persons to represent the debtor in possession in carrying out its duties under the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. 327(a). 17. The Debtors seek approval of the Engagement Letter pursuant to
section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides, in relevant part, that the Debtors with the courts approval, may employ or authorize the employment of a professional person under section 327 . . . on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment. . . . 11 U.S.C. 328(a). 18. Section 328 permits the compensation of professionals on flexible terms
that reflect the nature of their services and market conditions. As the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recognized in In re National Gypsum Co.: Prior to 1978, the most able professionals were often unwilling to work for bankruptcy estates where their compensation would be subject to the uncertainties of what a judge thought the work was worth after it had been done. The uncertainty continues under the present 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that the court award to professional consultants reasonable compensation based on relevant factors of time and comparable costs, etc. Under present 328 the professionals may avoid that uncertainty by obtaining court approval of compensation agreed to with the trustee (or debtor or committee). 123 F.3d 861, 862 (5th Cir. 1997) (citations omitted). 19. Notwithstanding approval of their engagement under section 328 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Appraiser intends to apply to the Court for allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the procedures described in paragraph 13 herein and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules and any applicable orders of the Court.

disposing of personal property interests, in both distressed and non-distressed situations. The Debtors believe that the Appraiser is well-qualified and able to provide the services to the Debtors in a cost-effective, efficient and timely manner. The Appraiser has indicated a
willingness to act on behalf of the Debtors with respect to the services and to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and supervision of the Court. 21. The Engagement Letter appropriately reflects the nature and scope of the
services and the Appraisers substantial experience with respect to the services and is consistent with the fee structures typically utilized by the Appraiser and other similar professionals who do not bill their clients on an hourly basis. 22. The Debtors seek to obtain the fair market value of their personal property
to determine whether to dispose of certain assets or take any other action to maximize the value of their estates. Accordingly, the Debtors are requesting that the Court allow the Debtors to expand the scope of their retention of the Appraiser. 23. Additionally, as the Debtors continue to evaluate their personal property
interests, the Debtors anticipate that they will require additional services of the Appraiser. To the extent the Debtors require additional services of the Appraiser, the Debtors submit that they will file with the Court and serve on the Core Group5 an amended engagement letter describing such services and the rate structure for such services and if there are no objections filed to the amended engagement letter, the amended engagement letter and the terms and services set forth therein shall be submitted to the Court for approval.
