D.            Lender is currently the owner and holder of the right to receive payments due under the Note and the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the Note, and the owner of the liens, security interests, terms, and provisions granted by the Deed of Trust.

E.             Lender and Borrower now propose to modify certain terms and provisions of the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined).  This Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, and any and all other documents executed in connection therewith, or relating in any way thereto, each as amended or modified from time to time, are referred to hereinafter either individually or collectively as the “Loan Documents.”

22.          Effectiveness of the Loan Documents.  Except as expressly modified by the terms and provisions hereof, each of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are hereby

11

ratified and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that any reference in any of the Loan Documents to the Loan, the terms of the Loan, any defined terms, or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Date, to refer to the Loan, the terms of the Loan, defined terms, and to such other Loan Documents, as modified hereby.

23.          Governing Law.  THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS HEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

24.          Waiver of Jury Trial.  Due to the complexity of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that a trial before a judge is more appropriate than a trial before a jury.  Borrower hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in any suit involving the enforcement of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, and grants the judge presiding over any such suit full power and authority to determine all questions of fact.

25.          Time.  Time is of the essence in the performance of the covenants contained herein and in the Loan Documents.

26.          Binding Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to (i) permit, sanction, authorize, or condone the assignment of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or any of Borrower’s rights, titles, or interests in and to the Mortgaged Property, except as expressly authorized in the Loan Documents, or (ii) confer any right, title, benefit, cause of action, or remedy upon any person or entity not a party hereto, which such party would not or did not otherwise possess.

27.          Headings.  The section headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, amend, define, or be used in the construction or interpretation of the text of such section.

28.          Construction.  Whenever the context hereof so requires, reference to the singular shall include the plural and likewise, the plural shall include the singular; words denoting gender shall be construed to mean the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as appropriate; and specific enumeration shall not exclude the general, but shall be construed as cumulative of the general recitation.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.  Unless otherwise indicated, any reference in this Agreement to a Section or Exhibit shall be a reference to such Section herein or Exhibit hereto.

29.          Severability.  If any clause or provision of this Agreement is or should ever be held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law applicable to the terms hereof, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and that in lieu of each such clause or provision of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be judicially construed and interpreted to be as similar in substance and content to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision, as the context thereof would reasonably suggest, so as to thereafter be legal, valid, and enforceable.
