In i mp lementing this policy we ad here t o t he follow i ng practices: • It is our standard prac tice to e-mail invoices to our clients , although hard copies of invoices can be sent to clients on request . • We round to the nearest one-quarter hour (e.g ., if two hours and 55 m i nutes are spent on a task, it is recorded as three hours, if two hours and 5 minutes are spent on a task, it is recorded as two hours). A minimum charge of one -quarter hour is charged for any client work performed in a day. • We do not markup out-of-pocket expense s, however, we may charge adm i nistrative or profess i onal time re lated to t he provis ion of the goods and services associated w ith t h ese charges. • Mileage fees are based on the round-tr i p distance from the point of origin . • If a client's change to a previously scheduled meeting resu lts in penaltie s being assessed by a third party (e.g ., airline cance ll ation fee), then the client will bear the co st of these pena lt ies. 1 Litigation Support and Expert Witness Services are not covered by this sc hedule of f ees and expenses . HF&H Consultants, LLC Page C-2 November 1, 2017 Exhibit C: Rate Schedule While no m ini mum fee for a consulting engagement has been estab l ished, it is unlikely (given the nature of our serv ice s) that we can gain an understandi ng of a client's particular requirement , identify alternatives , and recommend a solution in less than t wenty-four hours .

Invoices and Payment for Services Our time reporting and billing system has certain standard formats that are de signe d to provide our clients with a detailed invoice of the time and charges associated with their engagement. (We typically discuss these with our clients at our kick-off meeting.) We are also pleased to provide our clients with a custom invoice format but we will have to bill the client for any additional costs associated with their unique req ui reme nts . Billings for pro f essional services and charges are submitted every month, in order that our clients can more closely monitor our serv ices . 2 HF&H Co nsul tants does n ot own any comp any automobi les HF&H Consultants, LLC Pag e C-3 Nov ember 1, 2017 EXHIBIT D INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.
