agreements with a number of our other <br />clients, we have asked for similar <br />agreements to preserve our ability to <br />represent you. <br />TERMINATION OF <br />REPRESENTATION <br />You may terminate our representation at <br />any time, with or without cause, upon <br />written notice to us. After receiving such <br />notice, we will cease to render services to <br />you as soon as allowed by applicable law <br />and ethical and /or court rules, which may <br />include court approval of our withdrawal <br />from litigation. Your termination of our <br />services will not affect your responsibility for <br />payment of legal services rendered and <br />other charges incurred both before <br />termination and afterwards in connection <br />with an orderly transition of the matter, <br />including fees and other charges arising in <br />connection with any transfer of files to you <br />or to other counsel, and you agree to pay all <br />such amounts in advance upon request. <br />You agree that the Firm has the right to <br />withdraw from its representation of you if <br />continuing the representation might <br />preclude its continuing representation of <br />existing clients on matters adverse to you or <br />if there are any circumstances even <br />arguably raising a question implicating <br />professional ethics, for example, because a <br />question arises about the effectiveness or <br />enforceability of this engagement <br />agreement, or a question arises about <br />conduct addressed by it, or an apparent <br />conflict is thrust upon Squire by <br />circumstances beyond its reasonable <br />control, such as by a corporate merger or a <br />decision to seek to join litigation that is <br />already in progress, or there is an attempt to <br />withdraw consent. <br />In any of these circumstances, you agree <br />that Squire would have the right to withdraw <br />from the representation. Regardless of <br />whether you or we terminate the <br />representation, we would (with your <br />agreement) assist in the transition to <br />4 <br />replacement counsel by taking reasonable <br />steps in accordance with applicable ethical <br />rules designed to avoid foreseeable <br />prejudice to your interests as a <br />consequence of the termination. You agree <br />that regardless of whether you or we <br />terminate the representation (A) we would <br />be paid by you for the work performed prior <br />to termination; (B) our representation of you <br />prior to any termination would not preclude <br />Squire from undertaking or continuing any <br />representation of another party; and (C) as <br />a result of Squire's representation of <br />another party you would not argue or <br />otherwise use our representation of you <br />prior to any termination to contend that <br />Squire should be disqualified. <br />When we complete the specific services you <br />have retained us to perform, our attorney - <br />client relationship for that matter will be <br />terminated at that time regardless of any <br />later billing period. To eliminate uncertainty, <br />our representation of you ends in any event <br />whenever there is no outstanding request <br />from you for our legal services that requires <br />our immediate action and more than six (6) <br />months (180 days) have passed since our <br />last recorded time for you in the <br />representation, unless there is clear and <br />convincing evidence of our mutual <br />understanding that the representation has <br />not come to an end. After termination, if we <br />choose to perform administrative or limited <br />filing services on your behalf, including but <br />not limited to receiving and advising you of <br />a notice under a contract, lease, consent <br />order, or other document with continuing <br />effect, or filing routine or repeated <br />submissions or renewals in intellectual <br />property or other matters, or advising you to <br />take action, our representation of you lasts <br />only for the brief period in which our task is <br />performed, unless you retain us in writing at <br />that time to perform further or additional <br />services. After termination, if you later <br />retain us to perform further or additional <br />services, our attorney - client relationship will <br />commence again subject to these terms of <br />engagement unless we both change the <br />terms in writing at that time.
