The Firm may withdraw from the representation of the Client in the above

referenced Matter at any time if:

(1)

The Client renders it unreasonably difficult for the Firm to carry out its

employment;

(2)

The Client insists that the Firm engage in conduct that is contrary to the judgment

or advice of the Firm;

(3)

The Client deliberately disregards an agreement or obligation to the Firm as to

expenses or fees, or for services rendered, including not paying bills upon

presentation or in advance, such as when a retainer is requested or required by the

Firm;

(4)

The Firm determines that a conflict of interest has arisen as a result of the

representation of the Client and Firm and Client agree that the conflict requires

new counsel; or

(5)

The Client refuses to indemnify the Firm prior to any actions that the Client has

requested the Firm to undertake and that the Firm believes and has advised the

Client might result in possible sanctions for alleged groundless or bad faith

actions or defenses.

In the event that the Firm’s financial arrangements are not met by the Client or in

the event that any of the above events in subparagraph V.A. occur, or any other matter or

issue presents itself during the representation that makes it difficult for the Firm to

continue the representation, the Firm may withdraw as counsel. The Client specifically

agrees to the Firm’s withdrawal if the Firm’s fees and expenses are not timely paid by the

Client as set forth herein or any of the events in subparagraph V.A. above occur. By

execution hereof, the Client authorizes the Firm to represent to any Court, should any

litigation then be pending, the fact of and the Client’s acquiescence in the Firm’s

withdrawal. The Firm’s withdrawal in such circumstances would not relieve the Client

from the legal obligation to pay the balance due the Firm’s fees and expenses incurred

before the date of withdrawal.

The legal fees agreed upon herein are for representation of the Client in the above

referenced Matter and do not include Firm’s legal services in any other Matter. For

instance, if the Client is charged in a new grievance a new engagement agreement shall

be prepared. In the event that representation is required in any other court or an appeal or

regarding any other matter, not related to the above referenced Matter, a new agreement

may be made between the Firm and the Client, after the parties have discussed the

situation.

The Client has the right to terminate the relationship with the Firm at any time

and upon written notification. The Client’s termination of the Firm does relinquish any

of the financial obligations or other obligations set forth herein. If the Client terminates

the Firm’s representation, the Firm will promptly return to the Client any and all papers

and property, as well as the balance of the Retainer not previously applied against

outstanding invoices or the last month’s fees and expenses.
