Calculation of rates.

Fees awarded to appointed counsel for time expended prior to June 13, 1984 in the preparation of such cases shall be calculated at the rates in effect prior to such date; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed so as to prevent court appointed counsel from receiving fees calculated at the rates prescribed in this article for time expended after June 13, 1984 in the preparation of such cases. Any claim which is submitted after June 13, 1984 which is based upon hours expended both prior to and subsequent to June 13, 1984 shall be subject to the maximum fee and expense amounts prescribed herein.
