A final accounting of unpaid fees (if any) due to Manager under the Contracts shall be made by Manager or Lender at Manager's expense within 60 days after the effective date of termination, but Lender shall not have any liability or obligation to Manager for unpaid fees or other amounts payable under the Contracts which accrue before Lender (or its nominee) acquires title to said Property. ( e) Lender shall not be liable for any action or omission of any prior owner of the Properties that are the subject of the Contracts, bound by any amendment or modification of the Contracts made without Lender's prior written consent or subject to any counterclaim or claims which Manager might or is entitled to assert against Borrowers.

In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion, at any time during the term of the assignment of the Contracts, determines that any Property is not being managed in accordance with generally accepted management practices for property similarly situated, Lender shall deliver written notice thereof to Borrowers and Manager, which notice shall specify with particularity the grounds for Lender's determination. If Lender reasonably determines that the conditions specified in Lender's notice are not remedied to Lender's reasonable satisfaction by Borrowers or Manager within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice or that Borrowers or Manager have failed to diligently undertake correcting such conditions within such thirty (30) day period, Borrowers shall, upon Lender's written request, terminate the Contracts and replace Manager with a management company selected by Borrowers and acceptable to Lender in Lender's sole discretion. 5. Manager hereby certifies to Lender that (i) Manager has delivered to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of the Contracts, including all modifications and amendments thereto, if any, (ii) the Contracts have been executed by the duly authorized officers of Manager and are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Manager in full force and effect and (iii) no party is in default in performing any of its obligations under the Contracts, and no event has occurred or condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under the Contracts. 6. Manager expressly acknowledges that by accepting the assignment of the Contracts or by exercising any of its rights by reason thereof, Lender assumes no obligations or liabilities of Borrowers under the Contracts and that Lender shall have no obligation to Manager to exercise its rights under, or to declare a default under, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, but that the right and option to exercise such rights or declare a default rests in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. 7. Manager acknowledges that it has no interest whatsoever enforceable against Lender in proceeds of the Loan or any right of action under the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents to garnish, require or compel payment of proceeds of the Loan to be applied toward payment of Borrowers' liabilities or obligations under the Contracts. 8.

Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon Lender any duty to advance funds except to Borrowers upon and subject to the terms of the Loan Documents or to see to the application of the proceeds of the loan contemplated by the Loan Documents. Manager acknowledges that no person or entity other than Borrowers shall have any right or action on the Loan Documents or any rights to advances under the Loan Documents at any time. The advances contemplated by the Loan Documents shall not constitute a trust fund for the benefit of any person or entity, and no person or entity shall under any circumstances have or be entitled to any lien or any trust impressed on any undisbursed advances or loan proceeds. 11. Manager agrees that it will not terminate the Contracts and will not cease to perform its services thereunder for any reason, including, but not limited to, Borrowers' failure to make any payments to Manager or other breach or default, without giving written notice to Lender of such intention to terminate or cease performing its work at least thirty (30) days prior thereto in order to afford Lender the opportunity to cure such breach or default and/or to exercise its rights as described in the Loan Documents and this Agreement. 12. Manager and Borrowers agree that until such time as the Loans have been repaid in full, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be superior to the terms and provisions of the Contracts, and to the extent there are any inconsistencies or conflicts between the Contracts and this Agreement, the terms, provisions and conditions in this Agreement shall govern in all respects. 13. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original.

Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrowers and Manager hereunder. 15. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY AND THE INTERPRETATION OR CONSTRUCTION OF ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL ISSUES HEREUNDER. 16.

WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY LENDER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VO LUNT ARIL Y BY MANAGER AND BORROWERS, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

Lender's address for notice may be changed at any time and from time to time, but only after ten (10) days' advance written notice to Manager and shall be the most recent such address furnished in writing by Lender to Manager. Actual notice, however and from whomever given or received, shall always be effective when received. 18. Lender's exercise of any right, benefit or privilege under the Loan Documents or any other papers or instruments or at law or in equity shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of Lender's other present or future rights, benefits or privileges. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law, the Loan Documents or any related papers or instruments. No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under the Loan Documents or any related papers or instruments shall operate as a waiver of any right under the Loan Documents. 19. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be binding upon any successors and assigns of Manager, but any attempted assignment of any rights of Manager under the Contracts or hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender shall be null and void. 20. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be liberally construed so as to carry out the intent of the parties to it. 21. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between Manager and Lender with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior conflicting or inconsistent agreements, consents and understandings relating to such subject matter.
