Board level.

The engagement shall be deemed completed and shall automatically be terminated upon the
issuance of a Decision by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board Arbiter disposing of
the case in its level, whether favorable to the client or not. However, should the handling of
the case become impracticable for any reason not attributable to the herein attorneys, the
engagement shall likewise be deemed completed.

the case and periodic follow-ups of the progress of the case shall be billed at the rate of

reserved for the firm.

representation expenses, gasoline, transportation and/or travel expenses, airline tickets,

VI. HANDLING BY OTHER LAWYERS. The case herein covered shall not be handled
nor co-managed by any other lawyer. Should other lawyers be hired without the consent of
the herein attorneys, the latter may exercise the option of withdrawing from the case. In
such case, the engagement shall be deemed terminated for cause not attributable to firm.
Other lawyers may, however, be hired in an assisting capacity, with the undersigned
attorneys as the lead counsels.
