Billing Based on Staff Time |

A record of staff time is maintained and billing is done in quarter-hour increments based on hourly rates by level of staff providers. |

|
Project Fee |
| |
|
A total fee by project is quoted in advance. |

|
Annual Retainer |
| |
|
A predetermined annual fee is payable monthly, based on a projection of the average minimum time required at a discounted rate for all staff
levels. The actual staff time is audited annually and renegotiated once a year. |

Media Commissions |
| |
|
If a client is primarily involved in media placement
and the commissions earned are sufficient to cover
the planning, management and staff time required,
Clayton Davis will handle the account strictly on a
commission basis. |

|
External Charges |
| |
|
Media charges, production costs, and out-of-pocket
expenses are billed separately from agency fees. |
