Court's Order Appointing Receiver dated July 10, 2003 (the "Receivership Order"), and the Case

During the Application Period, H&W, TIG and the Receiver rendered extensive and

necessary services for and on behalf of the estates of the Receivership Entities , as set forth

below . The following categories describe the services rendered and summarize the fees

requested by H&W, TIG and the Receiver during the Application Period . Pursuant to Court

1 .Hunton & Williams . LLP

1 . Case Administratio n

During the Application Period, H&W continued to advise and confer with the Receiver

and interested parties in respect of the progress of the receivership case . H&W consulted with

the Steering Committee and various investor constituents about an effort to move the case toward

an interim distribution to investors, the possibilities of in kind distributions, and strategies for an

ultimate plan of distribution, including the possible substantive consolidation of the Funds 4

'This Application does not include fees and expenses incurred for Partners, which is not a ReceivershipEntity . All fees and expenses incurred for the exclusive benefit of Partners are being requested by separateapplication to the Bankruptcy Court . Insofar as the Receivership Entities and Partners have many common portfolioholdings, however, some of the services rendered for the benefit of the Receivership Entities also benefited Partners .The extent and value of the holdings in the various Funds and related entities remains unclear, in large part becausethe records of the Funds and related entities recovered by the Receiver were incomplete and in disarray. As a result,the Receiver has estimated the fees and costs attributed to each fund based upon each fund's ownership of thevarious positions in their respective portfolios and the work performed for the benefit of each portfolio .Nevertheless, the Receiver reserves the right to reallocate a portion of the fees and costs incurred by theReceivership Entities to Partners at the appropriate time in the future .

4 The Funds shall be defined herein to include Partners, Offshore, Omnifund, Partners LSPC and Offshore

LSPV .

and/or the Management Companies5 . H&W has also continued extensive dialogue with counsel

for the Group Plaintiffs in respect of the cases and various litigation components, as well as a

form of cooperation agreement to establish a formal framework for joint or common efforts and

sharing information .

During the Application Period, H&W prepared and filed a motion with the Court to

approve a protocol to be used for making an interim distribution . The motion had the desired

effect of opening up a formal dialogue with the investor constituents about distribution and claim

issues. H&W and counsel for the Group Plaintiffs and both bankruptcy committees negotiated

and agreed to the form of an order granting a portion of the relief requested in the motion and

withdrawing the remainder while the parties continue their dialogue . In particular, the parties

agreed that the Receiver should analyze claims based on the net invested capital of each of the

investors : that is, on a cash basis the amount of capital invested less the amount of funds

redeemed. The only parties to file formal opposition to the Receiver's motion were Michael

Lauer and his one-time counsel, Leonard Hecht. Lauer and Hecht oppose the use of net invested

capital for purposes of analyzing claims, and instead support analyzing claims based on the

number of shares held by each investor in the Funds . H&W has filed papers in reply to the

objections filed by Lauer and Hecht . The motion remains pending .

To further the efforts to conclude several pending matters, H&W filed certain requests for

status conferences before the court and advised the court of pending matters, including a

comprehensive litigation status report . H&W also worked on a comprehensive status report for

the Receiver and the SEC. During the Application Period, H&W participated in multipl e

belonging to Offshore to purchase a 1990 Mercedes -Benz C-11-05 racecar, potentially worth

millions of dollars, in the name of an entity called CLR Associates, LLC ("CLR") . As a result,

on February 1, 2005 the Receiver filed a motion to expand the receivership to include CLR so

that the racecar can be returned to the estate for liquidation . Lauer contested the motion . The

Receiver ' s motion remains pending before the Court.

During the Application Period, H&W analyzed the schedules of payments to

intermediaries and consultants, payee lists for the Receivership Entities, cash and redemption

reports, spreadsheets of restrictive legends, financial reports, custodial statements and

transactional details of executing brokers and spreadsheets for confirmation of holdings . In

addition, H&W and the Receiver analyzed certain data reflected on the "blue sheets" obtained by

the SEC which track activity for publicly traded securities . Specifically, the blue sheets reflect

trade data of certain of the holdings of the Funds . H&W, along with BDPB, met with the SEC to

better understand the blue sheets, which will ultimately suppo rt certain litigation to be brought

by the Receiver .

H&W is requesting $225 .61 in attorney's fees for .50 hour in connection with Data

Analysis .

13 . Department of Justice Investigation

Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the Receiver and H&W continued to cooperate and

meet with various federal law enforcement agencies and their representatives including the SEC,

FBI, U .S. Marshal's Office and the Department of Justice regarding this proceeding. The

Receiver and his professionals have had several formal and informal meetings and conference

efforts, H&W has received hundreds of thousands of documents . As documents are obtained and

recovered , they are imaged and scanned into a database that is full-text searchable .

H&W has implemented a comprehensive system to review and analyze the documents .

The Receiver ' s professionals have worked in tandem to establish a protocol for reviewing the

documents to ensure that the review is both thorough and efficient . The review has focused on

identification of assets ; location of documents confirming the debt and equity holdings in the

portfolio compan ies ; identification of potential litigation claims against th ird parties and insiders

of the Lancer Entities ; reconciliation of all accounts of the Lancer Entities ; and analysis of all

transfers from the Lancer Entities . H&W continues to update the current databases with new

fields to assist in th is review and continues to improve the comprehensive system to analyze

documents relating to the receivership . H&W also continues to work wi th its accountants to

refine the document management process, and to create efficiencies in the review of documents .

H&W prepares logs reflecting new documents that are obtained and the dates that these

documents are scanned onto the text searchable database so that the Receiver 's professionals c an

follow-through wi th the original intent of the document requests .

H&W is requesting $36,013 .38 in attorney ' s fees for 386 .50 hours in connection with

Document Management .

15 . Document Revie w

A continuing goal of the document review process has been to ascertain the specific

holdings of the Lancer Entities in the portfolio compan ies to enable the Receiver to administer

these positions for the benefit of investors and creditors . To determine the extent of the Lancer

Entities ' investment positions in the portfolio companies, as well as any additional rights or

responsibilities with respect to any security comprising an investment position , H&W has

17

Page 18: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case No . 03-80612 CIV -MARRA/VITUNAC

continued to review the documents seized from the offices of the Receivership Entities as well as

documents produced in response to subpoenas served by the Receiver . During the Application

Period, the Receiver's professionals have focused on reviewing documents produced by transfer

agents and portfolio companies in an effort to ascertain whether and to what extent the holdings

as reported on the prime broker's portfolio statements are accurate .

During the Application Period, H&W and the Receiver also refined a document review

protocol aimed at identifying documents to support causes of action against various third parties,

including insiders and service providers . Shortly after the Application Period, the Receiver filed

a 49-page, eight count complaint against Lauer and a number of other insiders, including Martin

Garvey, Eric Hauser, Milton Barbarosh, James Kelley and David Newman, among others . In

connection with preparing this complaint, H&W expended significant efforts reviewing the

online database of hundreds of thousands of documents by focusing searches on these

individuals and various companies with which they are affiliated .

During the Application Period , the Receiver also filed actions against certain po rtfolio

compan ies and serv ice providers , including the Offshore Funds ' administrator, Citco Fund

Serv ices (Curacao) and Citco Fund Serv ices (U.S.A.) (Collectively, "Citco") . In preparing the

complaints commencing these actions , H&W focused its effo rts on conduction specific searches

on the online database relating to Citco.

As H&W and the Receiver review incoming documents, they further refine their

understanding of the individuals who played a critical role in the depletion of the Receivership

Entities . This more refined review has assisted the Receiver in the preparation of complaints and

follow-up discovery .

that the Receiver and the Funds comply wi th applicable U .S . and Canadian securities laws .

H&W consulted with local counsel in Canada to assist with several issues relating to

Canadian securities laws and to prepare and file certain reports required thereby. H&W

continued to analyze the scope of the Receiver ' s repo rt ing obligations , and the dates that certain

security repo rts are due . Among o ther things , H&W performed extensive legal research and

prepared memoranda concern ing non-exchange , public-market sales; notices required by the

NASDAQ and Toronto Stock Exchange with respect to the sales of certain holdings; proper

methods for removing restrictive language on certain holdings to enable the sale of such

holdings ; amendment requirements under Section B of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ;

18 . Tax Issues

Lancer, Lancer II, GH Associates and Alpha Omega failed to file tax returns for the 2001

tax year as well as all subsequent tax years . Tax returns for 2003 for L ancer Partners, LP,

Lancer Management Group, LLC, Lancer Management Group II, LLC, Alpha Omega Group,

Inc . and GH were on extension until December 30, 2003 . H&W has assisted in the efforts of the

Receiver ' s accountants in preparing books and records for these entities from documents

produced by Harold Zoref CPA, B anc of America Securities , Fleet Bank and Chase Manhattan

Bank . The books and records re-created will be utilized to suppo rt the preparation of the 2003

returns as well as the 2001 and 2002 returns for the Receivership Entities (2001 and 2002 tax

returns for the Receivership Entities were delinquent prior to the receivership) . There are a

number of unresolved issues that must be rectified prior to the completion of the tax returns for

the Receivership Entities . The accountants have prepared open item lists for each entity by year

and are working to resolve these issues . The receivership returns will be filed as soon as the

remaining open issues are resolved . H&W is communicating regularly with the accountan ts

regarding these tax issues as well as resolution of the open items . H&W has corresponded with

the IRS wi th respect to the various tax returns due for the receivership entities as well as certain

investigations by the IRS into Lauer' s tax issues .

H&W is requesting $15,151 .72 in attorney ' s fees for 37 .40 hours in connection wi th Tax

Issues .

19 . Claims Adminis tration /Objections

During the Application Period , H&W and the Receiver have been working with the

accountants in the review of the claims and voluminous suppo rt ing documents. With the

assistance of the accountants, H&W has commenced the preparation of a comprehensive claims

report and omnibus objections to claims by category . H&W and the accountants have spent a

significant amount of time analyzing and confirming the net invested capital for each investor .

This process was delayed significantly by the absence of complete production of documents by

Citco evidencing individual investors ' contr ibutions and redemptions . It is made more di fficult

due to the large number of investors subscribing to the funds through nominal holders and the

massive volume of inter- investor and inter-nominee transfers .

During the Application Period , H&W has also continued to communicate wi th investors

regarding the status of their respective claims, objection to claims, the use of net invested capital,

and claims wi th insufficient documentation . H&W has also reviewed numerous investor replies

and conferred with numerous claimants in connection with the claims .

H&W is requesting $17,431 .72 in attorney's fees for 78 . 40 hours in connection wi th time

expended in the Claims Administration/Objections catego ry .

20 . Litigation - General

During the Application Period, H&W undertook substantial efforts researching law and

investigating facts relevant to potential litigation by the Receiver against numerous targets and

potential defenses to such litigation . Among other things , H&W updated its research on the

applicability of the in pari delicto defense to actions by Receiver ' s against third parties. H&W

21

Page 22: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case N ., . 03-80612 CIV-MARRA/VITUNAC

identified a case decided in 2005 out of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern

Dis tr ict of Florida in which the Court held that the in pari delicto defense does not apply to

bankruptcy trustees given the independent nature of trustees and their charge to pursue assets for

the benefit of creditors . The same analysis would apply to receivers . H&W also performed legal

research and drafted memoranda on other issues relevant to general litigation efforts of the

Receiver, including the potential liability of finders under federal securities laws ; the extent to

which monies received by investors in a Ponzi scheme are recoverable by a receiver ; and the

standards that gove rn hedge fund valuations .

In addition, on May 7, 2004, the Court entered an order compelling Citco to produce

documents to the Receiver . The May 7 Order provides that a protective order preventing the

Receiver from "sharing the documents and information contained therein with any entity covered

by the stay provisions of the PSLRA is appropriate , however , the Receiver is free to use the

documents and information on behalf of the Receivership Entities and may share same wi th the

SEC ." Citco filed a motion alleging that the Receiver should be sanctioned for attaching Citco-

produced documents to a complaint that the Receiver filed against PWC . The Receiver filed

pleadings opposing the position taken by Citco . Furthermore , as a result of Citco ' s allegations,

HW has been forced to prepare and file motions to allow the Receiver to file pleadings under

seal wherever documents or information obtained from Citco are included with the relevan t

pleading .

During the Application Period, H&W also assisted in the preparation of a request for

status conference to clarify the Court' s view of the litigation that has been brought by the

Receiver, as well as the litigation that has been brought by the Group and Class Plaintiffs . H&W

22

Page 23: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case No . 03-80612 CIV-MARRA /VITUNAC

also reviewed certain pleadings prepared in the Group and Class Actions as they relate to the

Receiver ' s actions , although H&W has limited its involvement in the Group and Class Actions .

During the Application Period, the Receiver and H&W also met with counsel for the

Group Plaintiffs in an effort to reach a cooperation agreement that would allow for sharing of

documents and an efficient and equitable method to pursue and distr ibute proceeds from certain

litigation . In connection with the negotiations , H&W and the Receiver have also consulted with

members of the Steering Commi ttee.

H&W also dispatched a number of proposed tolling agreements to pa rties with potential

liability to the Receiver , including net redeemers , brokers, finders, and serv ice providers. A

number of these potential defendants agreed to toll the statute of limitations for the Receiver to

bring suit in order to allow the Receiver to investigate causes of action more fully and procure

additional discove ry .

H&W finally investigated facts and researched law relev ant to potential suits against

portfolio compan ies and their management .

H&W is requesting $57,854 . 16 in attorney ' s fees for 251 . 70 hours in connection with

General Litigation .

21 . Litigation - Discovery Matters :

During the Application Period , H&W and the Receiver continued to undertake extensive

formal discovery . H&W issued subpoenas for production of documents to several hundred more

individuals and entities, including former officers and employees, executing brokers, transfer

agents, po rtfolio compan ies , accountants, insiders , intermediaries , and administrators. H&W

corresponded with many of the subpoenaed entities and individuals, and established a detailed

procedure to track responses, objections , and production .

23

Page 24: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case Nu . 03-80612 CIV -MARRA/VITUNAC

During the Application Period , H&W and the Receiver 's special counsel , Colson Hicks

& Eidson ("CHE") maintained consistent contact wi th each other to synchronize the discovery

process . H&W and CHE coordinated discovery to ensure production of documents from all

subpoenaed entities , to issue subpoenas , to locate entities sought to be subpoenaed, to add

entities to be subpoenaed, to serve subpoenas and to review produced documents . Additionally,

H&W and CHE employed a uniform discovery protocol , including the use of standstill

agreements, supplemental production requests , and essential follow-up wi th non-responsive

entities . To accomplish th is end, H&W and CHE corresponded consistently to remain apprised

of updated discovery issues .

During the Application Period, various entities served wi th subpoenas responded to those

subpoenas . The responses ranged from objections to the documents requested to asse rt ions that

the entity se rved did not have any documents responsive to the subpoenas. Before responding to

the subpoenas , many entities corresponded with H&W to clarify the scope of production, to

extend the time to reply to the subpoena, and to inquire about the production requests and the

Funds generally . In ce rtain instances where subpoenaed entities asse rted they had no responsive

documents , H&W instituted a protocol of verifying specific transactions which revealed that the

subpoenaed entity did in fact have responsive documents . In turn, H&W would correspond with

these entities to "refresh their recollection" to obtain the relevant documents . This procedure

proved important in identifying certain holdings of the Funds .

In instances where an entity objected to the subpoena, H&W would work with that entity

to resolve the objections amicably to avoid litigation . Often , H&W would enter into standstill

agreements pursuant to which subpoenaed part ies would produce a certain level of documents,

and H&W would rese rve the right to compel production of additional documents if the initia l

24

Page 25: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case Nu. 03-80612 CIV-MARRA/VITUNAC

production proved insufficient for any reason. The process of applying resources to the

subpoenas was and continues to be time -consuming , part icularly given the number of subpoenas

served, the size of the Funds, the number of transactions executed by the Funds, and the need to

follow-up and correspond wi th subpoenaed entities . Nevertheless , the standstill agreements

provide an efficient means to preserve resources .

During the Application Period, H&W continued to refine the procedures for identifying

subpoena targets and pertinent information and expended time with the accountants ascertaining

gaps in the discovery provided by the subpoenaed parties . H&W participated in weekly

conference calls wi th the accountants to discuss various discovery issues and methods for

tracking discove ry . These conference calls tracked the accountants ' discove ry priorities and

alerted H&W of any supplemental production required by the accountants , including any new

entities sought to be subpoenaed by the accountants .

During the Application Period , H&W also conducted research into discove ry related

matters, including the applicability of the Fifth Amendment privilege to the act of producing

documentation , whe ther a privilege log is required under the act of production doctrine , whe ther

an entity can assert such privilege on behalf of a corporation , and whether a Fifth Amendment

privilege shields the contents of any subpoenaed documents . H&W also researched issues

relating to protective orders and motions to compel, and the evidentiary value of deposition

testimony versus statements made during an informal witness interview . H&W also continued to

research issues relating to discove ry from offshore entities and issuance of subpoenas to entities

outside of the United States , including the issuance of le tters rogatory .

25

Page 26: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case N. , . 03-80612 CIV-MARRA /VITUNAC

During the Application Period, H&W continued to work closely with the SEC to recover

and analyze documents . H&W held weekly conference calls with the SEC to gauge the status of

documents produced .

In addition, H&W continued its extensive review and analysis of documents produced to,

among other th ings , determine claims against litigation targets, including, wi thout limitation,

suspicious payees, insiders , and entities who received potentially avoidable transfers . H&W also

reviewed documents for the purpose of drafting detailed deposition outlines and complaints .

H&W also reviewed and analyzed confidentiality agreements proposed by certain entities

responding to the document requests . H&W is requesting $82,725.33 in attorney ' s fees for

495 .80 hours in connection wi th Litigation -Discovery Matters .

22 . Litigation - Third Party :

The Receiver and H&W unde rtook effo rts in advancing the Receivership Entities'

interests in ancillary litigation , including the Group Action and the Class Action . Specifically,

the Receiver and H&W drafted briefs and motions designed to suppo rt the investors ' causes of

action and th is Court' s jurisdiction over same . H&W researched and prepared detailed

memoranda of law in opposition to certain defend ants ' motions to dismiss and/or transfer the

Class Action . The Receivership Order directs the Receiver to do so where he deems it necessary .

The Receiver and H&W also followed developments in the Group Action and the Class

Action to prepare for the Receiver ' s claims against identical defend ants . H&W reviewed and

analyzed the Group Action Complaint , the Class Action Complaint, and the motions to dismiss

and/or transfer those ancillary proceedings in order to frame his own complaints and to plead

around potential defenses by the Citco defend ants and the PwC defendants . As a result of these

efforts, the Receiver 's complaints against these parties will be less likely to be deemed legally

26

Case N . 03-80612 CIV-MARRA /VITUNA C

deficient or subject to jurisdictional and venue challenges .

In November 2004, the Court entered an order transferring the Group Action and the

Class Action to the Southern District of New York . The Receiver believes it is important that the

actions against the service providers proceed in one venue . Accordingly, the Receiver joined in

the Class Plaintiffs' motion to reconsider such order and provided independent grounds in

opposition to the transfer of venue. The Receiver also joined in a request for a status conference

so that the Court would have the benefit of oral argument on this important subject .

H&W finally researched relevant law and prepared a detailed memorandum in response

to an order to show cause why the Receiver' s cause of action against PwC should not be stayed

in favor of the ancillary actions initiated by investors .

H&W is requesting $49,613 .89 in attorney's fees for 166.40 hours in connection with

Litigation - Third Party .

23 . Litigation - Nephros :

During the Application Period, H&W continued to prosecute the Receiver' s litigation

against Nephros, one of the Funds' portfolio compan ies, to recover on a $1,500,000 matured loan

and obligation to deliver to Offshore certain warrants for Nephros stock . H&W has conducted

numerous depositions and served additional discovery on Nephros, responded to additional

discovery requests and addressed numerous motions to compel and for protective orders . H&W

also defended the Receiver' s deposition in this action . H&W has essentially concluded its

discovery in the proceeding and recently prepared and filed an extensive motion for summary

judgment on all counts in the Complaint . Finally, H&W continues its sett lement dialogue with

counsel for Nephros in the hopes of an amicable resolution .

27

Page 28: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

H&W is requesting $72,670.37 in attorney' s fees for 290 .00 hours in connection with

Litigation - Nephros :

24 . Litigation - SEC :

During the Application Period , H&W unde rtook efforts in support of the SEC's

enforcement action against Lauer . H&W provided the SEC wi th factual support and documents

suppo rt ing the SEC' s allegations against Lauer and undermining Lauer 's many spurious

allegations regarding the SEC. Lauer has violated countless discovery rules , orders and

obligations throughout the course of the enforcement action . During the Application Period, the

Receiver and H&W held a number of telephone conferences with the SEC regarding Lauer's

blatant failures , and reviewed pleadings relating to the SEC's motions to hold Lauer in contempt .

H&W also held conferences wi th the SEC regarding Lauer ' s blatant and extensive violations of

the asset freeze and possible ways to remedy Lauer ' s violations . H&W also reviewed and joined

in the SEC 's motion to strike Lauer' s motion to dismiss . Finally, H&W conferred with the SEC

on numerous occasions regarding securities compliance and portfolio company issues .

H&W is requesting $ 13,968 .82 in attorney 's fees for 34 .70 hours in connection with

Litigation - SEC .

25 . Litigation - Citco

During the Application Period , H&W undertook substantial efforts in pursuing litigation

against the Citco defendants . As noted in various repo rts and pleadings filed with the Court,

Citco produced approximately 60,000 documents to the Receiver in response to a subpoena

issued upon them. Citco produced these documents only after the Court granted a motion to

compel production filed by the Receiver .

28

Page 29: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case No . 03-80612 CIV - MARRAIVITUNA C

The Receiver requested Citco to produce the documents electronically to allow the

accountants to readily use and analyze the data produced. Citco initially refused to produce the

documents in an electronic format, and insisted that elec tronic production of the documentation

was not feasible . Accordingly, H&W filed a motion to compel electronic production . After the

Receiver filed the motion to compel , Citco finally agreed to produce documents elec tronically .

H&W worked closely and extensively wi th the accountants to develop a "spec" sheet which

described the format and nature in which the documents should be produced elec tronically .

Once the documents were produced elec tronically, H&W had numerous conferences with the

accountants to discuss the shortfalls in the production , and thereafter held discussions wi th

Citco' s counsel regarding same . H&W and Citco' s counsel continue to work towards a

satisfactory production .

During the Application Period , H&W continued to pour through the documents produced

by Citco with an eye towards pursuing the estate ' s rights against Citco . During the Application

Period , H&W drafted , finalized and ultimately filed a detailed and comprehensive complaint

against Citco and certain employees of Citco who se rved as directors of the Offshore Funds

alleging , among o ther things, professional negligence .

H&W filed the complaint under seal in light of Citco' s interpretation of the May 7 Order .

In connection with the complaint , H&W continued to perform extensive legal research into the

standards applicable to administrators of hedge funds and into the various causes of action that

the Receiver may have against Citco . H&W also consulted wi th ERISA counsel to discuss the

applicability of ERISA to the Funds and the ability to asse rt ERISA causes of action against

Citco. H&W also reviewed issues relating to the fiduciary obligations of Citco and certain of its

29

Page 30: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

directors . In addition , H&W reviewed and analyzed various repo rts and memoranda prepared

by Citco as they related to the Funds' holdings and the valuation of these holdings .

H&W is requesting $91,844 .83 in attorney ' s fees for 291 . 70 hours in connection wi th

Litigation - CITCO .

26. Litigation - Fraudulent Transfers

During the Application Period , H&W filed additional complaints against net redeemers,

finders, and o ther potential recipients of fraudulent transfers by the Funds . H&W worked closely

with the accountants' to analyze all transfers by the Receivership Entities . H&W carefully

reviewed the accountants analyses of transfers and insolvency to prepare detailed complaints

seeking to recover transfers from numerous part ies . In light of the aggressive position Citco has

taken wi th respect to the Receiver's use of information provided pursu ant to a protective order,

H&W has filed the exhibits to the recent complaints under seal . H&W has obtained extensions

of time to serve summonses on these numerous defendants until the exhibits are unsealed or an

agreement can be reached wi th Citco to allow for the serv ice of exhibits to the defendants. In the

meantime , H&W continues its investigation into the nature of certain transfers and is

communicating wi th many of the recipients about the transfers at issue and the allegations in the

complaints .

During the Application Period , H&W has continued its analysis and has identified

numerous transactions and defendants who should not be subject of these complaints . H&W has

amended several of the complaints and recently filed (after the Application Period) amended

complaints .

H&W is requesting $51,736.22 in attorney's fees for 237 . 10 hours in connection with

Litigation - Fraudulent Transfers

Case N,, . 03-80612 CIV-MARRA /VITUNAC

27 . Litigation - Insiders :

During the Application Period, H&W continued its investigation regarding Lauer and

other insiders whom the Receiver believes were responsible for the financial demise of the

Funds. H&W focused its efforts on identifying the key insider targets and reviewing all

documents pertaining to those insiders . Based on the information gathered, H&W began drafting

a detailed and extensive complaint against the insiders . H&W also consulted with the SEC

regarding the roles of insiders, and reviewed notes from interv iews taken of the insiders .

H&W is requesting $50,649 .61 in attorney's fees for 165.50 hours in connection with

Litigation - Insiders .

28 . Litigation - PWC ;

During the Application Period , H&W assisted special counsel in investigating the facts

surrounding PwC's role as auditor of the Funds . H&W attorneys also provided analyses of

international and U .S. auditing standards relevant to PwC's audit of the Offshore Funds . H&W

conferred with special counsel on numerous occasions regarding th is investigation and the claims

against the PwC for the Receiver's complaint .

In early December 2004 , special counsel filed a complaint against PwC. The Court

entered an order to show cause why the Receiver's action against PWC should not be stayed,

primarily on the basis that the Group and Class Plaintiffs were already pursuing PwC on behalf

of investors . The Receiver, through H&W, filed a detailed response to this order explaining that

the Receiver ' s causes of action are separate from the investors ' causes of action , even if the facts

giving rise to the causes of action are similar. Because the causes of action are distinct, the

papers during the period covered by th is application . H&W expended substantial efforts

responding to Lauer ' s numerous motions, replies, sur -replies, motions for reconsideration, and

other papers filed in opposition to the Receiver 's proposed sale of the Funds ' holdings in Zi

appealed the Court ' s rejection of his requests for a halt to the sale of Zi Corporation shares and

for reconsideration of the Receiver ' s authority to liquidate holdings on public exch anges .

H&W additionally attempted to procure Lauer ' s consent to a confidentiality order in

order to provide Lauer with advance notice of sales of holdings on public exch anges , as directed

by the Court . Unfortunately , Lauer refused to negotiate wi th H&W in good fai th. After

considerable discussions , Lauer refused to enter into the same confidentiality agreement

executed by o ther part ies entitled to advance notice of asset sales .

H&W further prep ared and filed pleadings in response to Lauer ' s opposition to the

Receiver ' s motion for approval of a protocol for interim distribution to investors .

H&W also assisted the SEC in seeking discove ry and depositions from Lauer and in

prosecuting motions for contempt and sanctions after Lauer failed to provide discove ry upon

allegations of contempt and by preparing and filing joinders in support of the SEC's requests for

sanctions against Lauer . H&W further prepared a motion to compel Lauer to respond to the

Receiver's discovery requests . H&W also assisted the SEC in preparing a motion to strike

Lauer's improper motion for summary judgment and prepared a joinder to the motion to strike .

H&W additionally continued its efforts to procure assets of the Receivership Entities held

by Lauer. H&W continued its efforts to repossess the Yukon Denali owned by G.H. Associates

and held by Lauer. Lauer continued filing pleadings in opposition to turnover of the vehicle

despite the Court's orders granting the relief sought by the Receiver . The Court eventually

overruled all of Lauer's objections to turnover, and the Receiver finally repossessed the Denali .

H&W further prepared and filed a motion to expend the receivership to include CLR, a

corporation whose existence Lauer failed to disclose until recently, and a valuable Mercedes race

car purchased by Lauer using the Funds' assets .

H&W finally expended substantial efforts responding to Lauer's spurious and groundless

objections to fee applications filed by the Receiver's professionals .

II .Turnstone Investigation Group

In addition to assisting with the control and security of books, records and various other

assets, during the Application Period, TIG continued to undertake efforts to discover additional

assets of the Receivership Entities and to assist H&W in seeking discovery of relevant facts .

and abroad. Turnstone also investigated CLR and Lauer's use of that company to purchase a

34

COMPENSATION

This Court has the power to appoint a receiver and to award the receiver fees for his

services and expenses incurred in the perform ance of his duties . See Donovan v. Robbins, 588 F.

Supp . 1268, 1272 (N .D. Ill . 1984) ("[T]he receiver diligently and successfully discharged the

responsibilities placed upon him by the Court and is entitled to reasonable compensation for his

efforts .") . See also Securities & Exchange Commission v. Elliott, 953 F. Supp . 1560 (11th Cir.

1992) (receiver is entitled to compensation for perform ance of his duties .) .

The determination of fees to be awarded is largely wi th in the discretion of the trial court .

Monaghan v. Hill, 140 F .2d 31 (9 th Cir. 1944) . Such discretion, however, is predicated upon the

assumption that careful consideration is given to all evidence pertaining to the value of the

attorneys ' services in the light of the factors relevant to a determination . These factors are set

forth in In re Norman v. Housing Authority of City of Montgomery, 836 F.2d 1292 (11 th Cir.

35

Page 36: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case No. 03-80612 CIV-MARRA/VITUNA C

1988), as follows : ( 1) the time and labor properly employed by the attorneys in processing the

case ; (2) the quality of serv ices rendered ; (3) the scope of the activity and conspiracy under

attack ; (4) the financial risk involved ; (5) the magnitude , complexity and novelty of the issues

involved; (6) the beneficial results obtained ; and (6) the degree to which , if any, efforts were

suppo rted by prior gove rnmental action . The Receiver requests the Court to consider these

factors in determining reasonable compensation for the serv ices rendered to date by the Receiver,

H&W and TIG as summarized below :

a . Time and Labor Required - The exhibits attached to this Notice and filed under

seal include Exhibit 1 , which contains a summary of professional and paraprofessional time, and

Exhibit 2, which is a summary of requested expenses . The exhibits and narrative descriptions in

th is Notice evidence the time and labor employed in processing th is case .

b . Novelty and Difficulty of the Issues and Questions Presented - Due to the nature

of th is case, it was necessary for the Receiver to employ professionals that are experienced and

familiar wi th securities, insolvency, hedge funds , bankruptcy, tax, general litigation , commercial

transactions , fraud , negligence , professional malpractice and a host of other practice areas .

Insofar as there have not been many SEC imposed receiverships involving hedge funds, m any of

the issues presented in th is proceeding are novel .

c . Skill Requisite to Perform the Legal Serv ices Properly - In order to perform the

services in connection wi th th is complex matter , the Receiver ' s and H&W ' s legal skill and

experience in the areas of negligence , fraud, securities , hedge funds , bankruptcy , insolvency,

federal receivership, litigation , tax, commercial transactions and malpractice were required .

36

Page 37: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case No . 03-80612 CIV-MARRA/VITUNAC

d . Preclusion From O ther Employment - Although this case has required an

extensive investment of professional and paraprofessional time , it has not been necessary for the

Receiver , TIG or H&W to turn away other work .

e . Hourly Rates - The hourly rates charged by the attorneys and investigators

providing se rv ices to the Receiver, as well as the Receiver 's hourly rate , are below the customary

rates charged by attorneys of comparable skills in the Southern District of Florida . H&W has

written off time valued at $112,041 .05

f. Whether the Fee is Fixed or Contingent - The Receiver and his professionals '

hourly compensation in this matter is subject to final Court approval . The Receiver, TIG and

H&W have not received any compensation for their services or unreimbursed costs incurred

during the Application Period .

g . The Limitations Imposed By The Client or the Circumstances - This case has

imposed significant time limitations on the Receiver, H&W and TIG because of the need to

resolve many issues rapidly, efficiently and economically . This effort has been hampered by the

number and frequency of securities transactions undertaken by the Lancer Entities prior to the

Receivership and the lack of adequate internal bookkeeping for said transactions . In addition,

the administrative tasks required to manage the Funds require almost daily monitoring and

attention . The Receiver's investigation has also been impeded by the decisions of certain third

parties not to respond to formal and informal discovery requests .

h . The Amount Involved and the Results Obtained - The above narrative, together

with the exhibits attached hereto, detail the time, nature and extent of the professional serv ices

rendered by the Receiver, H&W and TIG for the benefit of the investors and creditors . The

Receiver, H&W and TIG, without the necessity of litigation, have successfully collecte d

37

Page 38: FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION MAY 16 2005 · 2010-12-08 · united states district court southern district of florida fort lauderdale division case no. 03-80612 civ-marra/vitunac securities

Case No . 03-80612 CIV - MARRA /VITUNA C

approximately $30 million . The Receiver anticipates that he will collect and administe r

additional funds .

i . The Experience, Reputation and Ability of the Attorneys - The Receiver and

H&W are established, experienced attorneys with substantial experience in the substantive areas

of law required by this proceeding including fraud, securities, bankruptcy, insolvency, federal

receiverships , tax, hedge funds and litigation .

J . The Undesirability of the Case - The Receiver , TIG and H&W firmly believe th i s

case is complex , difficult and challenging, as well as extremely important to investors , creditors

and the SEC . Therefore, the Receiver, TIG and H&W do not believe the case is "undesirable . "

k . The Nature and Length of the Professional Relationship of the Client - Neither the

Receiver, TIG nor H&W had a professional relationship with the Receivership Entities, or any of

their principals, prior to the institution of this proceeding .

1 . Awards in Similar Cases - As set forth above, the Court has the ability and power

to award fees and costs to H&W, TIG and the Receiver. Other federal judges in the Southern

District of Florida and elsewhere have actually awarded higher fees at full hourly rates for the

same quantity and quality of work expended in receivership cases of similar complexity and

magnitude .

M. Government Support - Although the SEC investigated and filed the initial

pleadings in this case, the Receiver, TIG and H&W had to secure and protect the assets of the

Receivership Entities as well as investigate and analyze the Receivership Entities' business

operations . The Receiver has undertaken extensive discovery efforts in connection with th is

receivership and shared his findings with several federal agencies as required by the

Receivership Order.
