STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR PERIODIC COLLECTION OF ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS

On April 10, 2007, this Court established a procedure by which plaintiffs are to collect attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the Amended Stipulation and Order. This procedure requires plaintiffs' counsel to submit to defendants a quarterly statement of fees incurred in monitoring work, and permits defendants thirty (30) days from the receipt of plaintiffs' statement to notify plaintiffs of any disputed items. After the parties meet and confer on any of defendant's objections, counsel shall then prepare a stipulated order for payment of the fees not subject to defendants' objections. The Order also states that defendants shall have thirty (30) days from the entry of the order to pay the undisputed fees and that interest on any undisputed fees will run from the thirty-first day after the Order is filed, accruing at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1961.

Pursuant to this procedure, plaintiffs' counsel served their first and second quarter billing statement demanding $30,719 for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011. After meeting and conferring, the parties agreed to payment of $30,349.

WHEREFORE, defendants agree to pay plaintiffs' counsel $30,349 within 30 days of the signing of this Order. On the 31st day following the entry of this Order, interest on any unpaid amount will begin to accrue at the rate provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1961 (i.e., the weekly average 1 year constant maturity Treasury yield for the calendar week preceding the date of the Order.) AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES:
