DocuSign Envelope ID: E788C2EB-13F2-4F6E-82FF-8D8A4368FF78 Closing We will conduct the closing on the purchase of the Property. The closing can occur in my offices or another location that works better for the parties. The County agrees to wire the closing funds into my trust account prior to the closing. We will make every effort to provide the County with a draft of the settlement statement no less than 24 hours prior to the closing date. Following the closing, we will update title and record the new plat and Deed in the office of the Register of Deeds and prepare a final title opinion and deliver the same to Investors Title for issuance of the title insurance policy, if any. Legal Fees & Expenses This engagement is specifically limited to: (1) performing the title search; (2) preparing the title opinion; (3) procuring title insurance, if any; (4) disusing any title issues discovered during the title search with you; (5) negotiating with the current owners for the purchase of the Property based on direction from the County on essential terms; (6) prepare a Purchase Agreement for the County's purchase of the Property assuming a mutually agreeable deal is reached with seller(s); (7) recording the documents listed above, if requested; and (8) conducting the closing, if requested. Please be aware that additional work necessary to complete the closing, such as attempting to resolve significant title defects, may require work beyond the scope of this letter and in excess of the "not to exceed" amount listed below. In the event the County requires representation prior to closing or additional legal work not referenced in this letter becomes necessary(such as work associated with clearing any title defects), then I will perform such work at the County's specific request under an amendment to this agreement at our normal hourly rates. Our fees for performing the legal work outlined herein are as follows: (1) $85.00 dollars per hour for the services of my firm's real estate paralegal who will collect the necessary documents from the office of the Register of Deeds and otherwise assist me with this matter; and (2) $225.00 per hour for all work performed by Kennon Craver attorneys which represents a discount of 10% of the standard hourly rate for Brian Ferrell. The fees due under this agreement will not exceed$5,000.00. We will begin work on this transaction as soon as I received an executed copy of the associated Services Agreement from the County. Please understand that we must charge for all work performed even if this transaction fails for any reason.
