charges on your behalf or charge for such <br />ancillary support services, we bill them to <br />you separately or arrange for them to be <br />billed to you directly. We may also require <br />an advance payment from you for such <br />charges. These charges typically relate to <br />long- distance telephone calls; messenger, <br />courier, and express delivery services; <br />facsimile and similar communications; <br />document printing, reproduction, scanning, <br />imaging and related expenses; translations <br />and related charges; filing fees; depositions <br />and transcripts; witness fees; travel <br />expenses; computer research; and charges <br />made by third parties (such as outside <br />experts and consultants, printers, <br />appraisers, local and foreign counsel, <br />government agencies, airlines, hotels and <br />the like). Other charges will generally be <br />itemized on your bill, and will also be <br />subject to VAT where applicable. Any bank <br />charges which we incur when making check <br />payments or telegraphic transfers of money <br />will be charged to you inclusive of a <br />handling fee. Our charges for these <br />ancillary support services generally reflect <br />our direct and indirect costs, but charges for <br />certain items exceed our actual costs. For <br />some services, particularly those that <br />involve significant technology and /or <br />support services provided by the Firm (such <br />as imaging documents and computer <br />research), we attempt from time to time to <br />reduce costs by contracting with vendors to <br />purchase a minimum volume of service that <br />is beyond the needs of any single client. In <br />those cases, we may bill you at a per unit <br />rate that may not reflect the quantity <br />discounts we obtain. In many cases the <br />total quantity that will be used by all clients <br />of the Firm over a year or other period of <br />time is not certain. Our charge for fax <br />services is typically based on a charge per <br />page rather than the cost of the telephone <br />usage. In the event any of our statements <br />for such services are not paid by their due <br />dates, you agree that we have the right not <br />to advance any further amounts on your <br />behalf. <br />When you send us a letter at the request of <br />your auditors asking us for a response on <br />any loss contingencies, we will charge you a <br />fixed fee for our response that varies with <br />the level of difficulty of the response. <br />Letter Type <br />Description <br />Rate <br />Clean <br />No litigation <br />reported <br />US $550 <br />Normal <br />1 -3 cases <br />US $850 <br />Extraordinary <br />>3 cases <br />US $1,350 <br />Update of <br />Update <br />prior <br />US $400 <br />response <br />Verifying no <br />No- Services <br />work for client <br />US $75 <br />during fiscal <br />year <br />Where we engage others to act on your <br />behalf we do so as your agent and we will <br />not be responsible for any act or omission of <br />those parties. Notwithstanding our advance <br />payments of any charges, you will be solely <br />responsible for all invoices issued by third <br />parties. It is our policy to arrange for <br />outside providers of services involving <br />relatively substantial charges (such as the <br />fees of outside consultants, expert <br />witnesses, appraisers, and court reporters) <br />to bill you directly. <br />Prompt payment by you of invoices <br />generated by third -party vendors is often <br />essential to our ability to deliver legal <br />services to you. Accordingly, you agree that <br />we have the right to treat any failure by you <br />to pay such invoices in a timely manner to <br />be a material breach of your obligation to <br />cooperate with us. <br />
