Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a timekeeper summary that includes the name, title, department, bar admission, hourly billing rate, aggregate hours, and amount of fees earned for each Paul Hastings individual who provided services during the Fee Period. 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

<sup>4</sup> At the fee application stage, Paul Hastings will also consider not seeking allowance and payment for fees of timekeepers, who, during the relevant fee application period, billed less than a certain number of hours (as it has done in prior fee applications)
