STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR PAYMENT OF ATTORNEYS' FEES FOR 2010 AND THE FIRST AND
SECOND QUARTERS OF 2011, PURSUANT TO THE COURT'S SEPTEMBER 14, 2011 ORDER
On September 14, 2011, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion to compel compensation at their counsel's reasonable 2010 hourly rates (Docket No. 653). THE PARTIES THEREFORE STIPULATE:
Pursuant to the Court's September 14, 2011 Order, Defendants agree to pay the following amounts, based on the difference between plaintiffs' counsel's 2010 and Judge Karlton's 2008 rates on hours incurred:
• $279,110.33 in principal for fees incurred during 2010 and the First and Second Quarters of 2011, for monitoring and fee collection activities in this matter, plus interest accrued through the date of this order pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Court's February 11, 2009 Order. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a chart setting forth the fees payable to Plaintiffs for the hours incurred in these six quarters.
• Remaining in dispute is the difference between Plaintiffs' 2010 and 2011 rates for the hours incurred in Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 of 2011, which will be resolved consistent with the order of June 16, 2011 (Docket No. 634).
IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED that the amounts set forth above are due and collectable as of forty-five days from the date of entry of this Order. Interest on these fees and costs will continue to run from the dates set forth in the chart attached as Exhibit A hereto, accruing at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1961. IT IS SO STIPULATED:
