Hastings, MovieStop and SPI are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of DAC. 11. As is further discussed in the Declaration of Duane A. Huesers in Support of Debtors First Day Pleadings (the First Day Declaration ) [Docket No. 18], filed on the Petition Date, the Debtors commenced these chapter 11 cases to (i) effectuate the sale of Hastings pursuant to a Court-approved bidding and auction process; (ii) complete the liquidation of the MovieStop business for the benefit of creditors; (iii) preserve SPI s business through a going concern sale process; and (iv) liquidate all of the Debtors remaining assets and discontinue all business lines that cannot be sold for value. 12.

The Debtors officers and management regularly call upon a variety of Ordinary Course Professionals to assist the Debtors in carrying out their assigned duties and responsibilities. These Ordinary Course Professionals provide valuable and often critical assistance in addressing a variety of issues of importance to the Debtors and their business. Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference is a nonexclusive list of the Ordinary Course Professionals identified by the Debtors as of the Petition Date (the OCP List ). RELIEF REQUESTED 14. It is essential that the employment of the Ordinary Course Professionals, many of whom are already familiar with the Debtors business and affairs, be continued in order 4
Case 16-11452-KJC Doc 364 Filed 07/13/16 Page 5 of 9 to avoid disruption of the Debtors normal business operations. The Debtors submit that the proposed employment of the Ordinary Course Professionals and the payment of monthly compensation on the basis set forth below are in the best interests of their estates and their creditors. The relief requested herein will save the Debtors estates the substantial expense associated with applying separately to retain each Ordinary Course Professional and later preparing and defending, if necessary, these professionals interim fee applications. Similarly, the procedures outlined below will relieve the Court, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the U.S. Trustee ), any official committee of unsecured creditors (the Committee ) Bank of America, N.A. ( BofA ) and Pathlight Capital LLC ( Pathlight and, together with the U.S. Trustee, the Committee, and BofA the Interested Parties ) of the burden of reviewing numerous fee applications involving relatively small amounts of fees and expenses. 15. The Debtors propose that they be permitted to pay each Ordinary Course Professional, without prior application to the Court, 100 percent of the fees and disbursements incurred by such professional, upon the submission to, and approval by, the Debtors of an appropriate invoice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the services rendered and disbursements actually incurred after the Petition Date, up to (i) $40,000 per month per Ordinary Course Professional on average over a rolling three-month period and (ii) $400,000, in the aggregate, per Ordinary Course Professional over the duration of these chapter 11 cases (collectively, the OCP Fee Limits ). 16. To the extent that an Ordinary Course Professional seeks compensation in excess of the OCP Fee Limits (the Excess Fees ), the Ordinary Course Professional shall file with the Court and serve on the Interested Parties, which service may be via email, a notice of 5
Case 16-11452-KJC Doc 364 Filed 07/13/16 Page 6 of 9 fees in excess of the OCP Fee Limits (the Notice of Excess Fees ) and an invoice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the services rendered and disbursements actually incurred. 17. Interested Parties shall then have fourteen (14) days to object to the Notice of Excess Fees. If after fourteen (14) days no objection is filed, the Excess Fees shall be deemed approved, and the Ordinary Course Professional may be paid 100 percent of its fees and 100 percent of its expenses without the need to file a fee application. 18. Moreover, beginning thirty (30) days after the end of the first calendar quarter following the Petition Date, and thirty (30) days after the end of each quarter thereafter (each, a Quarter ) in which these chapter 11 cases are pending, the Debtors will file with the Court and serve on the Interested Parties a statement with respect to the immediately preceding Quarter which shall include the following information with respect to each Ordinary Course Professional: (i) the name of the Ordinary Course Professional; (ii) the aggregate amounts of fees paid as compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred by such Ordinary Course Professional during the reported Quarter; and (iii) a general description of the services rendered by each Ordinary Course Professional during the reported Quarter. 19. Within thirty (30) days after the later of the entry of an order granting this Motion or the date on which the Ordinary Course Professional commences services for the Debtors, each Ordinary Course Professional shall provide a declaration to the Debtors attorneys (an Ordinary Course Professional Declaration ), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B, certifying that the Ordinary Course Professional does not represent or hold any 6
Case 16-11452-KJC Doc 364 Filed 07/13/16 Page 7 of 9 interest adverse to the Debtors or their estates with respect to the matter on which the professional is to be employed. 2 20. The Debtors attorneys shall then file the Ordinary Course Professional Declaration with the Court and serve it upon the Interested Parties, which service may be via email. The Interested Parties shall have fourteen (14) days following service of an Ordinary Course Professional Declaration to notify the Debtors in writing of any objection to the retention stemming from the contents of the Ordinary Course Professional Declaration. If fourteen (14) days no objection is filed, the retention of such Ordinary Course Professional shall be deemed approved without the need of a hearing or further order, and the Ordinary Course Professional may be paid 100 percent of its fees and 100 percent of its expenses without the need to file fee applications, based upon the submission of an appropriate invoice setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the services rendered and disbursements actually incurred. The Debtors will provide no payment to an Ordinary Course Professional until the required Ordinary Course Professional Declaration is filed with the Court or, if an objection is filed, the objection is resolved consensually or by order of the Court. 21. Other than Ordinary Course Professionals, all professionals employed by the Debtors to assist in the prosecution of these chapter 11 cases will be retained by the Debtors pursuant to separate retention applications. Such professionals will be compensated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules and other orders of this Court. 2 Although certain of the Ordinary Course Professionals may hold unsecured claims against the Debtors for prepetition services rendered to the Debtors, the Debtors do not believe that any of the Ordinary Course Professionals have an interest adverse to the Debtors, their creditors or other parties-in-interest on the matters for which they would be employed. 7
