unusual or significant out of pocket expenditures, such as the retention of a technical consultant,
expert witness fees, deposition transcripts, other outside vendor charges, or travel expenses, we
would seek reimbursement for such charges. I will speak to you in advance of such expenses to
obtain approval of same.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Professional fees will be billed to you on a monthly basis. Unless you direct otherwise,
we will send our statements to the attention of you, Les Olds and Matt Worthley. We request
payment within thirty-five(35)days of receipt of our statement. Please let me know right away
if you have questions or concerns regarding any of our statements.
TERMINATION AND WITHDRAWAL
You may terminate our representation at any time. Termination will not, however,
relieve you of responsibility for payment of professional fees and expenses incurred before
notice is given us, or for those incurred in connection with the orderly transition of your
representation to a successor attorney or to you.
We may withdraw from this representation under certain circumstances. For instance,the
Rules of Professional Conduct require that we withdraw from representing a client where we
discover that a client seeks our assistance to engage in criminal or fraudulent conduct, continued
representation of the client will result in violation of the Rules, the client insists on pursuing an
• objective that we consider repugnant or imprudent, the client fails substantially to fulfill an
obligation to us regarding our services (including prompt payment of professional fees and
expenses), or where the continued representation of the client will result in an unreasonable
financial burden on us or has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client. I am not aware
of any conflict of interest regarding this matter with clients of the firm. If in the event we
become aware of a conflict of interest, we will notify you and may withdraw our representation.
I greatly appreciate that you have asked us to assist you in the scope of services set forth
above. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding this matter please do not hesitate to
contact me. If the matters in this letter are agreeable to you, please sign below and return a copy
of this letter.
