The Debtors are represented by Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession.
On October 1, 2010, the United States Trustee appointed the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") in the Debtors' bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Segal, Universal Studios Home Entertainment LLC, Integrated Process Technologies, AT&T Services, Inc., Weingarten Realty, Developers Diversified Realty Corp., and Centro Properties Group. The Committee has selected the Cooley LLP law firm as its counsel. Jay R. Indyke is the principal attorney responsible for this engagement.
