This agreement between Tax STAAR L.L.C. (Consultant) and the undersigned (Client) is for the
purpose of identifying and/or assisting the Client in obtaining refunds of Taxes that have not
been filed and/or decreasing Audit Assessments. Consultant's procedure is to prepare refund

reductions, including penalty and interest paid to the client within 10 days of receipt or reduction

requests an audit reduction on which was filed by the Client before Consultant begins its review
(the examination of the audit and/or Clients records to obtain refunds, credits, or audit
reductions). No fee shall be due Consultant if no refund, credit, or audit reduction is obtained
for Client.
Both parties agree not to disclose any information acquired as a result of this engagement to a
third -party except as may be required in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant
requires that all information provided by Client will be true and correct to the best of Client's
knowledge. Contract will be interpreted according to Texas law.
