DISCLOSURE AFFIDAVIT OF ORDINARY COURSE PROFESSIONAL
COUNTY OF Los Angeles )
my
I, Peter J. Scribner, hereby declare that the following is true to the best of
knowledge, information and belief:
i. I am a parner of
Windes & McClaughr (the "Firm") which maintains
offices at i i 1 West Ocean Blvd, 22nd Floor, Long Beach, California 90802 and i 820 i Von
Karan Avenue, Suite i 060, Irvine, California 92612.
2. This Affidavit is submitted in connection with an order of
the United
States Banptcy Cour for the District of
Delaware dated March 9, 2009, authorizing the
above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession (the "Debtors") to retain certain professionals
in the ordinar course of business during the pendency of
the Debtors' chapter i i cases (the
"Chapter i 1 Cases").
the Debtor's federal tax identification number, are: Pacific Energy Resources Ltd. (3442); Petrocal Acquisition Corp. (6249); Pacific Energy Alaska
i The Debtors in these cases, along with the last four digits of each of
Holdings, LLC (tax LD. # not available); Cameros Acquisition Corp. (5866); Pacific Energy Alaska Operating LLC (7021); San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company (1234); Cameros Energy, Inc. (9487); and Gotland Oil, Inc. (5463). The mailng address for all ofthe Debtors is i i i W. Ocean Boulevard, Suite 1240, Long Beach, CA 90208.
3. The Firm, through me, and members of
the Firm, have represented and
advised the Debtors as accountants with respect to consulting services related to accounting and
financial reporting matters, and tax planning and tax compliance, since 2002.
4. The Debtors have requested, and the Firm has agreed, to continue to
provide services to the Debtors pursuant to section 327 of chapter 11 oftitle 11 of
the United
States Code (the "Bankrptcy Code") with respect to such matters. Additionally, the Debtors
have requested, and the Firm proposes to render, the following services to the Debtors:
consulting services related to accounting and financial reporting matters, tax planning and tax
compliance.
5. The Firm's current customar (hourly) rates, subject to change from time
to time, are $395 for parners, $300 to $225 for senior managers and managers, $200 to $150 for
senior accountats and $140 to $120 for staff accountants In the normal course of business, the
Firm revises its regular (hourly) rates on July 1 st of each year and requests that, effective July 1 st
of each year, the aforementioned rates be revised to the regular (hourly) rates which wil be in
effect at that time.
6. To the best of
my knowledge, formed after due inquiry, neither I, the
Firm, nor any employee thereof has any connection with the Debtors or currently represents any
of their creditors, other parties-in-interest, the Office of
the United States Trustee or any person
employed by the Offce of
the United States Trustee with respect to the matters upon which it is
to be engaged, and the Firm does not, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to,
connection with, or interest in the Debtors, hold or represent any interest adverse to the Debtors,
their estates or any class of creditors or equity interest holders, except (list in detail).
7. Thus, I believe that the Firm's representation of such entities in matters
entirely unelated to the Debtors is not adverse to the Debtors' interests, or the interests of
their
creditors or estates in respect of the matters for which the Firm wil be engaged, nor wil such
services impair the Firm's ability to represent the Debtors in the ordinary course in these
Chapter 11 Cases.
8. In addition, although unascertainable at this time after due inquiry, due to
the magnitude of
the Debtors' potential universe of creditors and the Firm's clients, the Firm
may have in the past represented, currently represent, and may in the future represent entities that
are claimants of
the Debtors in matters entirely unrelated to the Debtors and their estates. The
Firm does not and wil not represent any such entity in connection with these pending Chapter 11
Cases and does not have any relationship with any such entity, attorneys or accountants that
would be adverse to the Debtors or their estates.
9. In the past year, the Firm has rendered services that have not yet been
biled or that have been biled but with respect to which payment has not yet been received. The
Firm is currently owed none on account of such prepetition services.
10. In light of
the foregoing, I believe that the Firm does not hold or represent
any interest materially adverse to the Debtors, their estates, creditors, or equity interest holders,
as identified to the Firm, with respect to the matters in which the firm wil be engaged.
11. Except as set forth herein, no promises have been received by the Firm or
any parner, associate or other professional thereof as to compensation in connection with these
Chapter 11 Cases other than in accordance with the provisions of the Bankrptcy Code, the
Federal Rules of Bankptcy Procedure, the Local Rules of Banptcy Practice and Procedure
of the United States Banptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and orders of this Court.
12. The Firm furter states that it has not shared, nor agreed to share any
compensation received in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases with another party or person,
other than as permitted by section 504(b) of
the Banptcy Code and Bankrptcy Rule 2016.
13. To the extent that the Debtors and the Firm are part to an engagement
agreement and contemplate that the terms and conditions of that agreement wil govern this
engagement, a copy of the agreement is attached to this Affdavit.
The foregoing constitutes the statement of the Firm pursuant to sections 329 and
504 ofthe Banptcy Code and Federal Rules of
Banptcy Procedure 2014 and 2016(b).
the United States of America
I declare under penalty ofpeijury under the laws of
that the foregoing is true and correct.
