Re: Adjustment to District Counsel Fee Structure Pentathlon Community Development District Our File: 506.02196

Dear Ms. Nguyen:

This firm's current fee structure has been in place since2017_ Although we are certainly mindful of the necessity to keep increases in the District's expenses, including the cost of legal services, to a minimum it has become necessary for us to adjust our hourly rates effective April 1, 2023, as follows:

Attomeys/Partners:
Attomeys/Associates:

$275.00 per hour
$225.00 per hour

This hourly fee structure will be adjusted on a periodic basis in connection with the District's budget process no later than.every third Fiscal Year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index published by the U. S. Department of Labor. The CPI has reflected a 20.7% increase since the year 2017 and we have not raised our fees during that time.

Ms. Nancy Nguyen January 31, 2023
Page 2

Naturally, should you feel you have any questions or require any further information in support of this adjustment you should feel free to contact me at your convenience. As I think you are aware, we very much appreciate the opportunity to serve as District Counsel as well as your courtesy and cooperation with regard to the necessity of what we believe to be both infrequent and reasonable adjustments to our schedule of professional fees.

Very truly yours,

GEW/jmp
