Federal Tax ID Number
This Legal Services Agreement between your firm and the Legal Division of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in all capacities governs all legal services rendered to the FDIC. This is not a
referral or engagement for legal services. Referrals are made pursuant to this agreement by Legal Division
attorneys with delegated authority and may be accompanied by supplemental requests or instructions.
Our relationship also will be governed by and subject to the policies, requirements, practices and
procedures set forth in the FDIC's "Outside Counsel Deskbook" previously provided to you and incorporated
herein by reference, as from time to time amended (the "Deskbook"). You represent, warrant and covenant
that (i) your firm has no conflict with the interests of the FDIC or the former Resolution Trust Corporation that
has not been disclosed in writing to the FDIC; (ii) you will advise us immediately of all conflicts that develop in
the future; (iii) each of the attorneys and paraprofessionals in your firm who provides services to the FDIC has
reviewed, understands and agrees to act strictly in compliance with all provisions, requirements and policies
(including statutory and regulatory provisions) identified in the Deskbook; and (iv) all information submitted in
connection with your registration with the Legal Division is and remains accurate and complete, and that you
will advise us promptly in writing of all changes affecting such submission.
Your firm agrees to provide legal services in accordance with the fee or hourly rate structure (for each
attorney and paraprofessional assigned to work on FDIC matters) set forth on the attached schedule(s), which
may be amended only by written consent of the Legal Division. We agree to process for payment all
undisputed invoices submitted by the firm in proper order promptly upon receipt. Absent extraordinary
circumstances, the FDIC will not pay invoices submitted over one year from the date that services are
rendered.
In addition, your firm agrees to provide and/or participate in training, seminars or other presentations in
your firm’s areas of expertise, as needed, for the benefit of the FDIC Legal Division. Your firm further agrees
that the FDIC will reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses only with regard to these activities
.
This agreement shall remain in effect for two years from the effective date set forth below subject,
however, to earlier termination by the Legal Division without cause or advance notice. In the event your firm is
providing services under any referrals as of the expiration date of this agreement, this agreement shall continue
for the sole purpose of completing such referrals under these same terms and conditions until the earliest date:
(i) all such referrals are completed; (ii) your firm and the FDIC execute a new Legal Services Agreement; or (iii)
the FDIC exercises its right to terminate this agreement. Upon termination, you agree to comply with the
provisions set forth in the Deskbook and to forward upon demand of the Legal Division all files and documents
concerning all FDIC engagements, including all work products of your firm.
All notices to you pursuant to this agreement shall be sent to the address indicated above, and all
notices to the Legal Division shall be sent to the Legal Division, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
Attn: Legal Services Group, at VS-E-6066, 550 17
