WITNESSETH WHEREAS, City finds it necessary to employ outside legal counsel to perform professional legal services regarding issuance of bonds and other debt obligations (the "Bonds") for the City of Denton. WHEREAS, Consultant is willing to perform such services in a professional manner as an independent contractor; and WHEREAS, City desires to engage Consultant to render the professional services in connection therewith, and Consultant is willing to provide such services; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual obligations herein, the parties hereto do hereby mutually AGREE as follows: SCOPE OF ENGAGEMENT Generally, Cvnsultant will perform all usual and necessary legal services as Bond Counsel in connection with the authorization, issuance, and delivery of the Bonds as authorized and requested by City. Specifically, Consultant will prepare and direct the legal proceedings and perform the other necessary legal services with reference to the authorization, issuance and delivery of the Bonds, including the following: 1. Prepare all resolutions, ordinances, and other instruments pursuant to which the Bonds will be authorized, issued, delivered and secured, including election proceedings, if necessary, in cooperation and upon consultation with the City Council, their cansultants, and other legal and fmancial advisors and consultants of City. 2. Attend meetings of the City Council with reference to the authorization and issuance ofthe Bonds to the extent required or requested. 2of14 3, Cooperate with the City Council and aIl other interested parties in the sale of the Bonds to the purchasers, and review bond purchase agreements. 4. Review those sections of any official staiement to be disseminated in connection with the sale of the Bonds which describe the Bonds, the resolution or ordinance pursuant to which they will be issued and the tax-exempt treatment ofthe interest on the Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation. 5. If requested, assist City in presenting information to bond rating organizations and providers of credit enhancement relating to tegai issues affecting the issuance of the Bonds. 6. Submit the Bond transcript to the Public Finance Division ofthe Attorney General's office and obtain all necessary approvals, 7. Supervise the execution of the Bonds and the delivery thereof to the purchasers. 8, When so delivered, give Consultant's approving opinion covering the validity of the Bonds and the exemption of interest thereon from federal income taxes, it being understood that the approving opinion will be fully acceptable nationally in regular commercial investment banking bond marketing channels. Consultant services as Bond Counsel do not include any responsibility for investigating the fmancial condition and affairs of City. Consultant's approving legal opinion as Bond Counsel will contain a paragraph substantially to the effect that ConsuItant has acted as Bond Counsel for City for the sole purpose of rendering an opinion with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exemption of the interest on the Bonds from federal income taxes, and for no other reason or purpose. The paragraph will also disclose that Consultant has not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not investigated or verified, any records, data, or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of City, and has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto. ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP Upon execution of this engagement letter, City will be Consultant's client and an attarney- client relationship will exist between City and Consultant. Consultant further assume that all other parties in a Bond transaction understand that Consultant represents only City in the transaction, Consultant is not counsel to any other party, and Consultant is not acting as an intermediary among the parties. Consvltant services as Bond Counsel are limited to those contracted for in this Contract; City's execution of this Contract will constitute an acknowledgment of those limitations. Consultant's representation of City wilI not affect, however, Consultant's responsibility to render an objective bond approving opinion described in paragraph 7 above. 3of14 INDEMNITY AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP Consultant shalt perform all services as an independent contractor not under the direct supervision and control of City. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating a relationship of employer and employee between the parties. City and Consultant agree to cooperate in the defense of any claims, actions, suits, or proceedings of any kind braught by a third party which may result from or directly or indirectly arise from any negligence andlor errors or omissions on the part of Consultant, or from any breach of Consultant's obligations under this Contract. In the event any litigation or claim is brought under this Contract in which City is joined as a party, Consultant shall provide suitable counsel to defend City and Consultant against such claim; provided however, that City shalI have the right to proceed with competent connsel of its own choosing. Consultant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless City and all of its officers, attorneys, agents, servants, and employees against any and all such claims to the extent not otherwise covered by Consultant's professional liability policy. Consultant agrees to pay alI expenses, including but not Iimited to attorney fees, and satisfy al) judgments that arise under such third party claims, but are not otherwise satisfied by Consultant's professional liability insurance policy. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver of any rights or remedies City may have to pursue under either law or equity, including, without limitation, a cause ofaction for specific performance or for damages, a loss to City resulting from Consultant's negligent errors or omissions, or breach of contract, and all such rights and remedies are expressIy reserved. Consultant shall maintain and shall be caused to be in force at all times during the term of this Contract, a legally binding policy of professional liability insurance, issued by an insurance carrier approved to do business in the State of Texas by the State Insurance Commission, which carrier must be rated by Best Rated Carriers, with a rating of "A" or higher. Such coverage shall cover any claim hereunder occasioned by Consultant's negligent professional act and/or error or omission, in an amount not less than $500,000 combined singie limit coverage occurrence. In the event of change or cancellation of the policy by the insurer, Consultant hereby covenants to immediately advise City thereo� and in such event, Consultant shall, prior to the effective date of change or cancellation, serve a substitute pvlicy furnishing the same coverage to City. Consultant shall provide a copy of such policy and the declazations page of the existing policy to City through its City Attorney, simultaneausly with the execution of this Contract. FIRM NOT A MUNICIPAL ADVISOR As a consequence of the adoption of Rule 15Ba1-1 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Municipal Advisor Rule"), which has been promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), Consultant hereby informs City that Consultant is not a"Municipal Advisor" within the meaning ofthe Municipal Advisor Rule or the Dodd-Frank Act (collectively, the "MA Rule"). In the course of performing Consultant's services as Bond Counsel in a transaction, Consultant may engage in analysis, discussion, negotiation, and advice to City regarding the legai ramifications of the structure, timing, terms, and other provisions of the financial transaction that culminates with the planned issuance ofthe Bonds, and such services and 4of14 advice may be essential to the development of the plan of finance for the issuance of the Bonds. In turn, these services become, among other things, the basis for the transaction's basic legal documents, the preparation and delivery of the official statement or any other disclosure document that describes the material terms and provisions of the transaction, if an offering document is used in the offering of the Bonds, the preparation of the various closing Bonds that embody the ternls and provisions of this transaction and the preparation and delivery of Consultant's ]egal opinion. Moreover, legaI advice and services of a traditional legal nature in the area of municipal finance inherently involve a financial advice component, but Consultant hereby advises City that while Consultant has expertise with respect to the legal aspects relating to the issuance of municipal securities, Consultant is not a"financial advisor" or "financial expert" in a manner that would subject us to the provisions of the MA Rule. As Bond Counsel, Consultant provides only legal advice, not purely financial advice that is not inherent in Consultant's legal advice to City. The City should seek the advice of its financial advisor with respect to the financial aspects of the issuance of the Bonds. By signing this Contract, City acknowledges receipt of this information, and evidences its understanding of the limitations of Consultant's role to City as Bond Counsel with respect to the MA Rule, as discussed in this paragraph. CONFLICTS As City is aware, Consultant represents many political subdivisions and investment banking firms, among others, who do business with political subdivisions. It is possible that during the time that Consuhant is representing City, one or more of Consultant's present or future clients will have transactions with City. It is also possible that Consultant may be asked to represent, in an unrelated matter, one or more of the entities involved in the issuance of the Bonds. Consultant does not believe such representation, if it occurs, will adversely affect Consultant's ability to represent City as provided in this letter, either because such matters will be sufficiently different from the issuance of the Bonds so as to make such representations not adverse to Consultant's representation of City, or because the potential for such adversity is remote or minor and outweighed by the consideration that it is unlikely that advice given to the other client will be relevant to any aspect of the issuance ofthe Bonds. Execution ofthis Contract will signify City's consent to Consultant's representation of others consistent with the circumstances described in this paragraph. FEES AND OTHER SERVICES The fee covering the legal services of Consultant, as Bond Counsel, for the issuance of traditional Bonds of City, such as general obligation bonds, certificates of obligation and utility system revenue bonds, in one or more installments, is as follows: $5,000 for the first 51,000,000 of Bonds; $1.00 per 51,000 of Bonds for the next 59,000,000 of Bonds; 50.95 per 51,000 of Bonds for the next $30,000,000 of Bonds; �0.90 per S1,000 of Sonds for the next �60,000,000 of Bonds; and 50.50 per $1,000 of Bonds thereafter. Sof14 For special Bond issuances, such as special assessment revenue bonds, fees for legal services will be set at an amount agreed upon by Consultant and City at such time the bond issuance is contemplated. Also, Consultant would expect to be reimbursed for Consultant's actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred in connection with the authorization, issuance, and delivery of such Bonds, i.e. travel, photocopies, courier, Form 8Q38G filing, Texas Bond Review Board filing and the Attorney General's filing fee. Consultant's fees and expenses will be payable within 30 days after the delivery of and payment for such Bonds, but Consultant's fees are whoily contingent upon actual delivery of such Bonds. The foregoing legal services as Bond Counsel do not include any direct responsibility for any kind of litigatian. However, if during the issuance of Bonds any litigation should develop regarding the issuance of the Bonds or the grovisions made for their payment or security, Consultant will consult, advise, and cooperate with City and its atto3rneys concerning any such litigation. Consultant's fees for such services would be based upon the customary hourly biiling rates of the attorneys providing such additional services. The firm will undertake upon the request of City such services as may be necessary to assist City in satisfying the continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any necessary disclosure obligations of City in connection with the issuance of Bonds. Consultant's fees for such services would be based upon hourly billing rates of the attorneys providing such services, and such rates shalt be $375.00 per hour for partners and $275 per hour for associates. Should it be necessary for Consultant to render a written opinion with respect to such matters, such fee for legal services provided in connection with the delivery of the opinion will be set at an amount agreed upon by us and City. The parties anticipate invoices or statements for services billed at hourly rates will be generated on a monthly basis and that said invoices or statements will be sent on or about the 15` day of each month. City shall make payment to Bond Counsel within 30 days of the satisfactory completion of services and receipt of an itemized invoice or statement. All reimbursable expenses, including, but not necessarily limited to travel, lodging, and meals shall be paid at the actual cost, pursuant to the terms, conditions, and limitations hereinabove set forth.
