The rates charged by Paul Hastings for services rendered to the Committee are the same rates that Paul Hastings charges generally for professional services rendered to its non-bankruptcy clients, except that the Trustee's hourly rate has been reduced to \$1,975.00 (compared to his standard hourly rate of \$2,225.00).4
