Apt 08 09 10:03a ALANDERSHOWITZ p.' 51r I 5Y-3C " W JAN re“d Av EFTA00722396 April 3, 2008 Dear Harry Beller, Here Is an accounting of my hours. They fall into several categories The original rotainor was $1,050,000 paid in 2005, In addition, Jcffrcy sent me $350,000 in 2006 —which I did not request or bill him for — as "a war chest". (He told me to "use $100,000 of that to get Finkelstein", which I did not do.) Between Oct. 4, 2005 and July 31, 2006 I devoted approximately 930 hours to the case (this averages about 93 hours a month, or 3 hours a day.) IN sure I actually spent considerably more time during this intensive period in which we talked and worked virtually every single day, and all hours of the day. These hours fell into three categories. 1. Between Oct. 4 and Dec. 31, 2005 I billed at S850 per hour. During that time I spent 175.25 hours, which comes to $155,096.25. 2. Between Jan. 1, 2006 and July 31, 2006 I billed at the rate of $1,150 dollars for hours spent in Cambridge, and $1,500 for hours spent out of Cambridge. The total number of hours were 754.75, of which approximately 100 were out of Cambridge. (This is an approximation; I can probably get a more precise breakdown if I check my travel records.) The 654.75 hours billed at $1150 come to $742,612.50. 3 . The approximately 100 hours out of Cambridge come to 5150,000 dollars. The total amount due from these three categories is $1,047,709.50, without expenses • - or approximately $1,050,000 with expenses, which was covered by the initial retainer. If you would like a further breakdown of these hours they are as follows: Jan. 3, 2006 — Feb. 20, 2006: 160.75 hours Feb. 21— March 2, 2006: 40 hours March 3 — March 12: 26.5 hours March 13 — March 30: 78.5 hours March 31—April 30: 117 hours May 1— May 31: 98.75 hours June 1 —June 30: 115.5 hours July 1 —July 31: 117.5 hours On Oct. 27, 2006, I submitted my first bill for 225 hours, for work between Aug. 1 and Oct. 27, 2006 (3 months). The bill for $258,750 was paid. • LLIMOHSH3ONV1V ec0:Ot 60 80 JciV EFTA00722397 On Oct. 27, 2006, Jeffrey agreed to guarantee me a minimum of $100,000 per month until the end of the case. This guarantee lasted for 21 months. During the period of the guarantee I billed as follows: Oct. 28, 2006 —Jan.2, 2007 (2 months): $178,000 paid. Additional amount owed on guarantee is $22,000. Sanitary 2. 711t17 - Fah A, 70117• S77,9:1.2.50 paid. Additional amount owcd on guorontcc b I:922,007.50. February 8, 2007 — April 2, 2007 (approximately 2 months): $136,850 paid. Additional amount owed on guarantee Is $63,150. April 3, 2007 — June 1, 2007 (2 months): $174,512.50 paid. Additional amount owed is $25,487.50. June 2, 2007 - July 2, 2007: $169,337.50 paid. No money is owed on the guarantee. July 3 — Sept. 4, 2007: (We cannot locate this bill, but the amount paid on Sept. 4 was $139,720, representing 2 months of work.): The additional amount due on the guarantee for these two months was 360,280. in sept. 5 — Oct. 10: $125,938 paid. No money is owed on the guarantee. Oct. 11, 2007 — Nov. 10, 2007: $89,125 paid. Amount due on guarantee $10,875. Nov. 11— Dec. 10, 2007: $138,825 paid. Nothing due on guarantee. Dec. 10—Jan. 6, 2008: 115,449.90 paid. Nothing due on guarantee. Jan. 7, 2008 —Feb. 13, 2008: $34,212.50 paid. Amount due on guarantee is $65,787.50. Feb. 13 — March 8, 2008: $59,512.50 paid. Amount due on guarantee Is $40,487.50. March 9 —April 18, 2008: $48,587.50 paid. Amount due on guarantee $51,412.50. April 19 —June 16, 2008 (two months): $135,412.50 — only $50,000 paid. Amount due on guarantee is $64,578.50. July 17 —Aug. 4 (1 > months) $69,287.50 - unpaid. Amount due on guarantee is $80,712.50. Persuant to the minimum monthly guarantee I am owed: $506,858.50 above the amounts billed for. Moreover the bill for June 16, 2008 was paid only in part (550,000) leaving a balance due of $85,412.50 and the bill of Aug. 4 for $69,28750 was unpaid. Since Dec. 11, 2008, I have devoted a total of 23 hours, which comes to $26, 450 dollars, which has also not been paid. As of Dec. 11, 2008 I was owed $181,150 for unpaid billed hours and $506,858.50 owed me on the guarantee for a total of $688,008.50. As a credit against the amount I am now owed is $285,965 consisting of the $35,965 dollars that Jeffrey authorized me to take from the lolta account plus the $250,000 ($150,000 in June and $200,000 in July) that remained in the war chest Jeffrey sent me in June and Aug. of 2006. 5100,000 of that was o.d ZJJMOHSHRONV1V eco:OL 60 90 JcIV EFTA00722398 critnerpiently sent to Dershowit2 and Eiger. I am checking os to whether any other payments were made from this amount. I am also checking expenses I did not charge. Thus the amount I am currently owed comes to: $402,043.50. As I explained to Jeffrey, I keep my hours in a little pocket calendar that I carry with me and change every few months. I am enclosing pages from several of those notebooks. z_umoNsesannnv eE0;04 60 80 AV EFTA00722399 Apr 08 09 10:04a ALANDERSHOWITZ 6175761353 p.5 EFTA00722400 Apr 08 09 10:04a ALANDERSHOWITZ p.6 EFTA00722401 Apr 08 09 10:04a ALANDERSHOWITZ p.7 EFTA00722402 EFTA00722403
