Haney City of Carmel Carmel City Hall One Civic Square Carmel, Indiana 46032 RE: Engagement Letter Dear Mr. Haney: We are pleased you are considering engaging Ogletree Deakins to assist you and the City of Carmel. We hope to work with you and will do our best to provide the highest quality legal services in a responsive, efficient manner. Fundamental to a good relationship is a clear understanding of the terms and conditions upon which we will be providing legal services. Accordingly, the purpose of this letter is to clarify and confirm these terms and conditions. Scope of Services You asked us to represent the City of Carmel in connection with general legal services. Staffing I will be the attorney primarily responsible for the representation. When questions or comments arise about our services, staffing, billings, or other aspects of our representation, please contact me. My direct telephone number is 317-916-2157. It is important that you are satisfied with our services and responsiveness at all times. We intend to provide quality legal services in an efficient, economical manner. This likely will necessitate involving other attorneys from the Indianapolis office or other Ogletree Deakins offices who have expertise in certain areas, and paralegals, who are not attorneys but are experienced in the preparation of documents and the completion of various tasks. Atlanta • Austin • Birmingham • Bloomfield Hills • Boston • Charleston • Charlotte • Chicago • Cleveland • Coltunbia • Dallas • Denver • Greensboro Greenville • Houston • Indianapolis • Jackson • Kansas City • Las Vegas • Los Angles • Memphis • Miami • Minneapolis • Morristown • Nashville • New Orleans Orange County• Philadelphia•Phoenix•Pittsburgh •Portland•Raleigh•St Louis• St.Thomas•San Antonio•San Francisco•Tampa•Torrance•Tucson•Washington Douglas C. Haney Ogletree July 19, 2011 Deakins Page 2 From time to time, internal conferences will take place among our personnel, and two or more may attend meetings or proceedings on your behalf. Although this approach might seem to result in duplication of effort, it is our experience that this practice facilitates communication, improves the quality of the work, and ultimately is more economical for the client. However, we would charge only for the most senior attorney in those circumstances. Responsibilities In reliance upon information and guidance provided by you, we will provide legal counsel and assistance to you in accordance with this letter, keep you informed of progress and developments, and respond to your inquiries. To enable us effectively to render these services, you agree to fully and accurately disclose to us all facts that may be relevant to the matter or that we may otherwise request, and to keep us apprised of developments relating to the matter. You also will assist and cooperate with us as appropriate in dealing with the matter. Opinions and Beliefs Either at the beginning or during the course of our representation, we may express our opinions or beliefs concerning the matter or various courses of action and the results that might be anticipated. Any such statement made by any member or employee of our firm is intended to be an expression of opinion only, based on information available to us at the time, and must not be construed by you as a promise or guarantee of any particular result. Fees, Disbursements, and Other Charges Our fees will be based on the amount of time spent by attorneys and paralegals on your matter unless we discuss and agree in advance to an alternative fee arrangement. Each lawyer and paralegal has an hourly billing rate based generally on his or her experience and any special expertise. The rate multiplied by the time spent on your behalf, measured in tenths of an hour, will be evaluated by the billing attorney as the basis for determining the fee. Our billing rates currently range from $185.00 an hour for new associates to $450.00 an hour for senior shareholders. My billing rate currently is $375 an hour. However, because we would appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to work with you and the City of Cannel, I am willing to offer a 10% discount on my rate and that of any other legal professionals working on City of Carmel matters. Thus my rate would be only $340. These rates are adjusted from time to time generally to reflect increased experience and special expertise of the attorneys and paralegals and inflationary cost increases affecting our practice, and the adjusted rates will apply to all services performed thereafter. We however will not adjust any rates without first notifying you of our intent to do so. Douglas C. Haney Ogletree July 19, 2011 Deakins Page 3 Deakins Other factors may be considered in determining our fees, including the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved; the skill requisite to perform the services properly; the experience, reputation, and ability of those performing the services; the time limitations imposed by you or the circumstances; the amount involved and results obtained; and any other factors that may be relevant under applicable rules of professional conduct. In addition to our fees, we will expect payment for disbursements and other charges as described in the General Provisions attached with this letter. Each month we will furnish you with a statement describing our services and separately showing disbursements and other charges in a format and with such detail as you and we may agree. All of the fees and expenses for Ogletree Deakins lawyers will appear on a single bill which will be sent to your attention. There often is an unavoidable delay in reporting disbursements and other charges, and therefore not all disbursements and charges may be billed at the same time as the related legal services. If this letter correctly reflects your understanding of the terms and conditions of our representation, please confirm your acceptance by signing the enclosed copy in the space provided below and return it to me. Upon your acceptance, these terms and conditions will apply retroactively to the date we first performed services on your behalf. Of course if you have questions or desire to discuss revisions or additions to the provisions in this letter, please call or email me. Doug, we are pleased to have this opportunity to be of service and to work with you. incerely, Miche JM/ab Attachment Douglas C. Haney Ogletree July 19, 2011 iW Deakns Page 4 Deakins I read and understand the terms and conditions set forth in this letter and agree to them. Douglas C.
