NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and provisions contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. THE CLIENT The Client is the COUNTY,acting by and through its duly elected and appointed officers and its employees. 2. THE ATTORNEY ATTORNEY is a Limited Liability Partnership named above and whose legally authorized signature appears at the bottom of this Agreement.ATTORNEY is licensed to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court,most federal appellate and many federal district courts,as well the highest court in many states. ATTORNEY is not licensed to practice in the State of Florida, and COUNTY acknowledges that the COUNTY is engaging ATTORNEY to advise it on aspects of federal law relating to rates and charges and development of new facilities at a federally-obligated airport("the Matter"). 3. TERM OF AGREEMENT This Agreement and representation by ATTORNEY is effective upon execution by ATTORNEY and acceptance and approval by COUNTY in accordance with COUNTY'S policies, ordinances, or governing statutes. The representation shall continue until terminated by either the COUNTY,or by the ATTORNEY in accordance with ethical requirements and/or the terms of this Agreement. 4. SCOPE OF THE WORK The COUNTY is engaging ATTORNEY to advise on the Matter and any other matters which are jointly agreed to in writing. 1 5399 4.1 Professional ability to perform work appointment of contract manager ATTORNEY warrants that he or she is authorized by law to engage in the performance of the activities herein described, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these contract documents.

REVIEW OF ETHICAL OBLIGATIONS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BEFORE INITIATING REPRESENTATION ATTORNEY has conducted a thorough investigation and determined that neither ATTORNEY nor his or her firm has any ethical impediment,real or potential, including but not limited to conflicts of interest, to representing COUNTY. To the extent that any ethical impediment, real or potential, is discovered or ever arises, ATTORNEY shall immediately inform COUNTY in writing of the impediment (regardless of whether ATTORNEY believes he or she has taken all steps necessary to avoid the impediment and regardless of whether ATTORNEY believes that the impediment is insubstantial or questionable), make full disclosure of the situation to COUNTY, obtain COUNTY'S express, written consent to continue the representation of the other client, and take all other reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate the impediment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, COUNTY understands and agrees that ATTORNEY may in the future—after this agreement has terminated-represent clients before COUNTY in unrelated matters. 6. PAYMENTS TO ATTORNEY ATTORNEY shall submit to COUNTY invoices with supporting documentation acceptable to the Clerk on a schedule as set forth in the contract.Acceptability to the Clerk is based on generally accepted accounting principles and such laws, rules and regulations as may govern the Clerk's disbursal of funds. All services provided with respect to this agreement will be billed on a current basis with monthly invoices sent to COUNTY that will contain full detail as to the specific effort, hourly rates, and reimbursable expenses incurred by ATTORNEY on COUNTY'S behalf. 6.1 Attorney Fee (Hourly) ATTORNEY will be paid for his or her services based on the number of hours expended on behalf of COUNTY(rounded to the nearest tenth hour for each time entry),not to include time billable to or compensated by other clients, multiplied by the ATTORNEY'S hourly rate. The following minimum billing documentation and time-keeper requirements are a condition precedent to payment by the COUNTY. 2 5400 6.2.Non-billable time ATTORNEY will bill COUNTY only for time reasonably and necessarily incurred to render professional services on COUNTY'S behalf in accordance with this Agreement. Time attributable to billing questions is not billable. Time expended by time-keepers who have not been approved by COUNTY is also not billable. 6.3. Hourly Rates, and Changes to hourly The ATTORNEY has agreed to rates as more fully set forth below: Approved Time Keepers: Name: Hourly Rate: David Bannard $525.00 Peter Kirsch $525.00 Eric Smith $500.00 Nick Clabbers $395.00 Shanita Asante $295.00 With the written approval of the County Attorney, additional time keepers may be utilized by the ATTORNEY and billed at the following rates: Partners/Associates $295-$795 Paralegals $160 ATTORNEY will charge no more than the hourly rate quoted above throughout the duration of the matter, unless otherwise agreed in writing and approved by COUNTY in the same manner as Agreement.

Time keepers As used in this Agreement, the term "time keeper" shall include ATTORNEY and other ATTORNEYS and individuals identified in paragraph 6.3 of.this Agreement who will be providing services under this Agreement and who will bill the COUNTY for their services in accordance with this Agreement. 6.4.1. Duplication of effort So long as ATTORNEY determines,in its reasonable discretion,that there is no duplication of effort among multiple timekeepers, or otherwise with advance COUNTY approval, ATTORNEY may have more than one timekeeper bill for attendance at meetings, including the meetings with COUNTY representatives and internal conferences, and each timekeeper shall be paid at their rate established in paragraph number 6.3. In all other circumstances, ATTORNEY will not have more than one timekeeper bill for attendance at meetings, including the meetings 3 5401 with COUNTY representatives and internal conferences, and in the event that more than one person attends, only the time of the person with the highest rate will be billable. Approval for action on the part of the ATTORNEY may be accomplished by letter, email, or verbally by the County Attorney or his/her designee, if verbal approval is given the attorney may verify that approval by email to ATTORNEY or CLERK(as necessary for billing purposes). 6.4.2. Time-keeper changes Time-keepers approved by the COUNTY are listed in paragraph 6.3 of this Agreement, and may be amended from time to time,upon mutual agreement of the COUNTY and the ATTORNEY,to evidence the then-current circumstances. Additional time-keepers may be added by amendment to this agreement and approval by the Board of County Commissioners. In the event that additional time- keepers providing services,which are to be billed to COUNTY, are to be added,then their hourly rates shall be provided to COUNTY in advance, and, upon written approval by the COUNTY, their rates and billing practices shall comply with the requirements of this Agreement. COUNTY expects to receive discounts or other concessions so that any increases or changes in time-keepers will not result in unnecessary or unreasonable charges to COUNTY, e.g., for training, internal conferences, and management. 6.5. Existing work product To the extent the ATTORNEY makes use of existing work product, e.g., in the form of research previously performed for another client, then ATTORNEY shall bill only that time expended in using that work product for COUNTY. In other words,no premium,markup, or other adjustment shall be made to COUNTY bill for time spent on work already performed. 7. BILLING OF FEES AND EXPENSES ATTORNEY shall comply with the following requirements as to billing fees and expenses as a condition precedent to COUNTY'S obligation to pay each bill: 7.L Monthly Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the COUNTY,bills shall be issued monthly by ATTORNEY within fifteen(15) days after the close of each month. ATTORNEY understands that COUNTY requires prompt bills in part to facilitate effective management of the representation and fees. 7.2. Bill format ATTORNEY shall provide detailed, itemized bills which shall, at a minimum: 7.2.1 Description Provide a general description of the matter, to include the name of the COUNTY department or constitutional officer, if not indicated in the title of the matter, for which legal services are being performed (e.g. Richard Roe v. Monroe County—EEO Claim); a description of the work performed in enough detail so that each item is distinguishable from other listed items and sufficient to allow COUNTY to determine the necessity for and reasonableness of the time 4 5402 expended, the services performed, the project or task each service relates to, the subject and purpose of each service, and the names of others who were present or communicated with in the course of performing the.service. For example, simply the word"research"is not acceptable,more detail about the type of research and what was determined by the research is necessary. 7.2.2 Personnel Clearly identify each timekeeper performing services in conjunction with each entry. Clearly identify all persons who are not full-time lawyers employed by the ATTORNEY'S firm (including paralegals, employees of ATTORNEY with their titles, subcontractors, independent contractors, temporary employees, and outsourcing providers). Personnel who are not listed as additional timekeepers will not be paid unless approved in writing under the requirements of this Agreement. 7.2.3 Time Records Record the time expended by each time-keeper separately. In those situations where the minimum billing increment exceeds the actual time spent on a task and several of these "minor" tasks are performed, it is expected that the services will be aggregated until the total actual time spent meets the minimum billing increment. 7.2.4 Totals and By Task State the amount of time expended by each time-keeper broken down for each task. 7.2.5 Summary of Rates It is understood that the billing rate is a per hour as set forth in paragraph number 6.3. In a summary at the beginning or end of the bill, provide the current hourly rate for each time-keeper, the total time billed by each time-keeper in that bill, the product of the total time and hourly rate for each time-keeper, the total fees charged, and are reconciliation between the amount charged and any applicable estimated or budgeted amount, by task. In addition, each monthly statement should show the aggregate billing for that matter from the commencement of the matter through the currently-billed month. 7.3. Expenses COUNTY will pay the actual, reasonable cost of the following expense items if incurred in accordance with the guidelines below(a copy of the form used by the County may be provided for your convenience) and promptly itemized in ATTORNEY'S monthly bill: 7.3.1 Reimbursable expenses Actual cost for necessary long distance telephone calls, tele copying at $.25 per outgoing page,overnight or expedited delivery,couriers,photocopying at$.15 per page,postage,court fees, and other expenses approved in advance by COUNTY.

Expedited or emergency services ATTORNEY is expected to avoid using expedited or emergency services, such as express delivery services, couriers, tele copying, overtime, and so on, unless necessary because of unexpected developments or extremely short deadlines. COUNTY may refuse to pay for any such expenses when incurred routinely or because of ATTORNEY'S failure to manage the matter efficiently. 7.3.1.2. Computerized research ATTORNEY is expected to use computerized research services cost-effectively to reduce time spent on research,for example,while closely-monitoring computerized research to insure that the charges are reasonable and necessary. ATTORNEY is expected to pass through to COUNTY any discounts or other arrangements that reduce the cost of computerized services. All charges shall be reasonably documented on invoices to demonstrate that the charge is related to this agreement. 7.3.1.3.

Expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Florida Statute 112.061 for "approved travelers" and of the Monroe County Code Article XXVI and shall be summarized on the Monroe County Travel Form by ATTORNEY with all applicable receipts attached thereto. 6 5404 7.3.1.6 Travel Time Time spent in transit outside Attorney's local area may be billed only if ATTORNEY or time-keeper is unable to avoid traveling by using other forms of communication or it is determined by the County Attorney that travel is in the County's best interest.

Experts, consultants, support services, outsourced services, etc. ATTORNEY is not authorized to retain experts, additional counsel, consultants, support services, or the like, outside ATTORNEY'S law firm, without approval by County Attorney.
