STEPHENS REGIONAL SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT NOTICE OF CONTINGENT FEE ENGAGEMENT OF BOND COUNSEL Pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 2254.1036, notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of Stephens Regional Special Utility District (the “District”), at the public meeting described in the Notice of Public Meeting to which this Exhibit is attached, shall consider the engagement of McLean & Howard, LLP (the “Firm”) to provide bond counsel services for a contingent fee. In support thereof, the Firm offers the following: 1. The reason for pursuing issuance of bonds (the matter that is the subject of the legal services for which the Firm would be retained) is to finance public infrastructure improvements required for development of lands within the District. The desired outcome of the matter is to issue bonds in accordance with state, federal tax and securities law. 2. The Firm is a nationally recognized in the field of municipal securities law, and currently serves as bond counsel for multiple municipal utility districts. 3. The District does not have attorneys and/or supporting personnel who can perform bond counsel services. 4. The District cannot reasonably engage attorneys for bond counsel services under hourly fee contracts without contingency because then the District would have to pay such attorneys their fees from the District’s unrestricted general funds, regardless of whether bonds are successfully issued, and such amounts are limited and needed for other uses. 5. The Firm's compensation is contingent upon the issuance and from proceeds of the sale of the bonds. It is customary for legal and financial counsel services associated with an offering of municipal securities to be provided on a contingent basis. 6. This contingent fee contract is in the best interest of the District's residents because the arrangement allows the District to have certainty of its costs prior to the issuance of such bonds, which allows it to size its bonds with greater certainty. This arrangement also allows the District to preserve its right to discontinue the issuance of such bonds for any reason without expending any costs. Further, the fees are fixed and only become due and payable when bonds are successfully issued. 7. The Firm has no relationship with the District or its Board members other than its position as provider of bond counsel services. STEPHENS REGIONAL SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT NOTICE OF CONTINGENT FEE ENGAGEMENT OF SPECIAL TAX COUNSEL Pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 2254.1036, notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of Stephens Regional Special Utility District (the "District"), at the public meeting described in the Notice of Public Meeting to which this Exhibit is attached, shall consider the engagement of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. (the “Firm”) to provide Tax Preparation Services for a contingent fee. In support thereof, the Firm offers the following: (A) The Firm is proposing to perform tax preparation services (“Tax Preparation Services”) for the purpose of assisting the District in the areas of federal tax law relating to the exemption of interest from federal income taxation on governmental public securities in the form of bonds. (B) The Firm is a well-qualified law firm with more than 100 years of experience and has represented numerous entities similar to the District in matters related to the issuance of municipal bonds. (C) The Firm has no relationship with the District or its Board members other than its position as provider of Tax Preparation Services. (D) Tax Preparation Services are highly specialized services involving complex regulatory guidance. While the District's Bond Counsel effectuates the issuance of District bonds, the Firm possesses expertise with the intricacies of federal tax law which are outside the scope of Bond Counsel’s engagement, necessitating the engagement of Firm. (E) The Firm's compensation is contingent upon the issuance and from proceeds of the sale of the bonds. Tax Preparation Services, and many other types of legal and financial counsel associated with an offering of municipal securities, are often provided on a contingent basis. (F) This contingent fee contract is in the best interest of the District's residents because the arrangement allows the District to have certainty of its costs prior to the issuance of such bonds, which allows it to size its bonds with greater certainty. This arrangement also allows the District to preserve its right to discontinue the issuance of such bonds for any reason without expending any costs incurred by the Firm's for its Tax Preparation Services. |
