Analytical Summary
This declaration by Scott Freling, partner at Covington & Burling LLP, establishes legal fees totaling $207,347.50 for representing HII Mission Technologies Corp. in Cyberlux-related creditor matters from February 2025 through January 2026. The work encompasses five distinct legal fronts: an interpleader action ($49,832.50), Atlantic Wave garnishment ($18,221.25), Texas receivership proceedings ($22,011.25), the Curtin action ($752.50), ANPC garnishment ($1,666.25), and other creditor matters ($114,863.75). The firm employed a flat billing rate of $1,075 per hour (rising to $1,350 in January 2026) for all attorneys regardless of seniority, which Freling asserts resulted in lower costs than standard rates. The billing records reveal intensive legal activity around Cyberlux's solvency concerns, settlement payment complications, creditor indemnification demands, and coordination with a court-appointed receiver. The document demonstrates HII's defensive posture amid competing creditor claims following a settlement agreement with Cyberlux.
Key Points
  • Covington & Burling billed $207,347.50 for 11 months of creditor-related legal work across five distinct matters
  • Firm used flat-rate billing of $1,075/hour (later $1,350/hour) for all attorneys regardless of standard rates
  • Work centered on settlement payment complications arising from Cyberlux's financial distress and competing creditor claims
  • Major legal actions included federal interpleader ($49,832.50), Atlantic Wave garnishment ($18,221.25), and Texas receivership ($22,011.25)
  • Legal strategy involved confidentiality protection, indemnity demands, and coordination with court-appointed receiver

DECLARATION OF SCOTT FRELING
Declaration

I, Scott Freling, pursuant to 28 U.S. Code § 1746, declare as follows:

1.
I am over 21 years of age and otherwise competent to make this declaration. I have personal knowledge of the statements contained herein. The statements herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.
2.
I am a member of the District of Columbia Bar (#498547) and a partner with the law firm of Covington & Burling LLP ("Covington").
3.
True and correct copies of Covington's invoices for services rendered from February 26, 2025 through January 23, 2026 for matters arising out of or relating to Cyberlux's creditors and related proceedings, are attached hereto as Exhibit 1. These invoices have been redacted to omit privileged or confidential information. The persons listed therein worked the hours stated in Exhibit 1.
4.
The record of time and expense reflected on the attached documents was made at or near the time of the work performed and expenses incurred by Covington attorneys and staff with knowledge of the events described therein.
5.
The attached documents are records which were created and kept by Covington in its regular practice and its ordinary course of business. Making and keeping the attached records was and is a regular practice of Covington.
6.
Covington's practice is to record contemporaneous time records on a daily basis, recording time spent on any given matter to the tenth of the hour (.1) and to avoid block billing. Exhibit 1 reflects those contemporaneous time records.
7.
The invoices attached as Exhibit 1 reflect that on these matters, Covington billed its time using a single flat hourly rate for all attorneys, regardless of those attorneys' standard hourly rates. The use of a flat rate on these matters resulted in significantly lower total expenses than if Covington would have billed for its services at its standard hourly rates, as it regularly does on similar matters for other similarly-situated clients. In addition, the hours spent were reasonable and necessary in proportion to each task.
8.
All of the fees listed in Exhibit 1 were actually and reasonably incurred in the course of Covington's representation of HII in connection with Cyberlux's creditor issues. Covington tracked this time using a separate matter number to ensure it would not be co-mingled with time that Covington attorneys spent representing or advising HII on other matters unrelated to Cyberlux or Cyberlux creditor matters. The invoices in Exhibit 1 reflect Covington's fees for representing and advising HII in connection with government contracts, creditor rights and similar issues in relation to this interpleader action, the Atlantic Wave garnishment case, the Texas receivership and related proceedings, the Curtin action, the ANPC garnishment case, as well as other general Cyberlux creditor-related matters.
9.
Set forth below is a summary of the fees listed in Covington's invoices, sub- categorized by the creditor-related matter to which they relate. The figures associated with each

sub-category represent Covington's best estimate based on a review of the time entries listed in the invoices.
