of such Project; (iv) insurance proceeds received by Owner as a result
of any insured loss (except proceeds for rent loss insurance); (v)
condemnation proceeds (except proceeds for lost rent); (vi) capital
contributions made by any partner of the Partnership; (vii) loans by

other transactions not in the ordinary course of operation of such
Project. The Monthly Management Fee for each Project shall be payable
monthly in arrears in installments following calculation thereof upon
submission of a monthly statement for such Project from the Rental
Agency Account. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 26 hereof, it
is agreed between Owner and Agent that if the Gross Receipts of any
Project are insufficient to pay all disbursements, including the
Monthly Management Fee, or any portion thereof, then Owner shall use
the Partnership reserves to make such disbursements. It is further
agreed between Owner and Agent that in no event will any disbursement
be made to Owner from any Project Account, until all accrued and
unpaid fees to Agent and repayments, if any, to Agent for Agent's
advancement of funds to cover any insufficiencies in the such
Project's Rental or Payroll Account have been paid in fall. Upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 26, the parties
will prorate the Monthly Management Fee for each Project on a per diem
basis to the effective date of such cancellation or termination.

Project, including the planning and provision of tenant meals (the

to Owner upon reasonable notice sufficient records pertaining to food
service costs, including but not limited to invoices, delivery
receipts and payroll records.
25. Term. This Agreement shall become effective the day and year
first written above and shall continue in full force and effect until December

reimbursable expenses or any compensation due Agent pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and such failure continues for a period of 60
days after Agent's written notice thereof to Owner, Agent may
terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon expiration of such
60-day period without further notice to Owner; provided, however, that
this Agreement shall not be so terminated if Owner pays Agent all such
expenses and compensation then due and payable on or before the
expiration of said 60-day period; provided, further, however, that

fails to advance funds to cover an insufficiency in any Payroll

notice that such insufficiency exists, as provided in Paragraph 11(b)
above.
(c) In the event that a petition in bankruptcy is filed
by Agent or its assignee or in the event Agent or its assignee makes
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes advantage of any
insolvency act, Owner may terminate this Agreement with notice to the
Agent.
(d) With regard to a Project, in the event that such
Project is sold by Owner, unless Owner sells such Project to an
affiliate of the Partnership.

material covenant, agreement or provision of this Agreement to be

such failure, in which case such period shall be extended for two
years).
(f) Misappropriation of funds held by Agent in trust for
Owner or any other fraudulent act committed by Agent and related to
the performance of Agent's obligations hereunder, but only if (i)
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are active participants in such
misappropriation or fraudulent act, or (ii) with respect to
misappropriation of funds, such funds are not reimbursed to Owner

such acts within 45 days after notice from Owner to Agent.
(g) In the event that Agent fails in a material way to
operate, lease and maintain the Projects as required under the terms
of this Agreement, the Management Plans and/or the Marketing Plans,
such failure continues for 60 days after Owner's written notice
thereof to Agent and Agent does not cure such failure during such
60-day period (unless Agent is in good faith using commercially
reasonable efforts to cure such failure, in which case such period
shall be extended for two years) and such failure is the result of
Agent's willful misconduct, gross negligence or unlawful act as
finally determined by a court having jurisdiction regarding such
matter.

dissolved (ii) Agent's real estate brokerage license, if such license

officer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

in breach of Paragraph 27(h).
Upon termination, Agent will submit to Owner any financial statements required,
and after the Principal Parties have accounted to each other with respect to
all matters outstanding as of the date of termination, Owner will furnish Agent
security, in the form and principal amount satisfactory to Agent, against any
obligations or liabilities which the Agent may properly have incurred on behalf
of Owner hereunder.
All notices required under this Paragraph 26 shall be in accordance with
Subparagraph 27(b) below.

The date of receipt of notice shall be the date delivered if personally
delivered or five days after the date of mailing if mailed.
(c) The rights and remedies of either of the parties
hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, i.e., the exercise of one
or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of
any other provisions hereof. Each of the parties confirms that
damages at law will be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened
breach of this Agreement and agrees that, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of any provision hereof, the respective rights and
obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance,
injunction, or other equitable remedy, but nothing herein contained is
intended to, nor shall it, limit or affect any rights at law or by
statute or otherwise of any party aggrieved as against the other for a
breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the
intention of this Subparagraph 27(c) to make clear the agreement of
the parties that the respective rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or
otherwise.
(d) All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether
used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all
other genders; and the singular shall include the plural and vice
versa. Titles of Articles, Subparagraphs and Paragraphs are for
convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this
Agreement itself. The use herein of the word "including," when
following any general statement, term or matter, shall not be
construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific
items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to
similar terms or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such
as without limitation, or, but not limited to, or words of similar
import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to
refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within
the broadest possible scope of such general statement term or matter.
(e) Each party hereto agrees, without any additional
consideration, to do all acts and things and to make, execute and
deliver such written instruments, as shall from time to time be
reasonably required to carry out the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.
(f) Should any litigation be commenced between the
parties hereto or their representatives or should any party institute
any proceeding in bankruptcy or similar court which has jurisdiction
over any party hereto or any or all of his or its property or assets
concerning any provision of this Agreement or the rights and duties of
any person or entity in relation thereof, the party or parties
prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled in addition to such
other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum as and for his or
its or their attorneys' fees and court costs in such litigation which
shall be determined by the court in such litigation or in a separate
action brought for that purpose.
(g) In the event that any provision of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect in any respect whatsoever the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement.
16
17
(h) Except as provided herein to the contrary, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties signatory hereto, their respective heirs, executors, legal
representatives and permitted successors and assigns. Neither this
Agreement nor any portion thereof including, but not limited to, any
money due or to become due under this Agreement, may be assigned by
either party except upon written consent of all the Principal Parties
hereto. This Agreement is a personal service contract; except as
specifically provided herein, Agent's duties may not be delegated to
another party, except for delegation of nominal duties in the ordinary
course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder, without in
each instance the prior written consent of Owner, which may or may not
be given in Owner's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Owner consents to the sale, assignment, contribution or similar
transfer of all or a portion of this Agreement to an Affiliate of
Agent.
(i) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of Texas.
(j) No consent or waiver, express or implied, by a party
to or of any breach or default by the other party in the performance
by such other party of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or
construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or
default in the performance by such other party of the same or any
other obligations of such other party hereunder. Failure on the part
of a party to complain of any other party in default, irrespective of
how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such
party of its rights hereunder. The giving of consent by a party in
any one instance shall not limit or waive the necessity to obtain such
party consent in any future instance.
28. Indemnifications.
(a) Agent's Indemnity: Owner shall indemnity and hold
Agent harmless from all claims, actions, liabilities, expenses and
attorney's fees not covered by insurance in connection with, arising
from, or incurred as a result of Agent performing its duties under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, damage to property and
injury or death of any employee, tenant, guest, invitee, trespasser or
other person whatsoever, alleged or actual defective construction of a
Project or any equipment thereon, and the failure of Agent to pay any
expenses and costs of a Project as required by this Agreement if
necessary funds are not made available to Agent by Owner; provided,
however, that Owner shall not indemnify Agent from and against any of
the foregoing claims, actions, liabilities, expenses or attorney's
fees, arising from or incurred as a result of Agent's gross
negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful act.
(b) Owner's Indemnity: Agent shall indemnify and hold
Owner harmless from all claims, actions, liabilities, expenses and
attorney's fees not covered by insurance arising from or incurred as a
result of any gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful act
performed by Agent in regard to the management of a Project, including
the acts of Agent's employees, servants and agents, and violation of
any statute, ordinance,
17
18
law or regulation of any governmental body, public authority or
official thereof having jurisdiction.
29. No Partner Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Owner shall not have any personal
liability for the payment of any fee, compensation or reimbursement under this
Agreement, including any interest thereon. Agent (a) shall look solely to the
assets of the Partnership for the payment of such fee, compensation or
reimbursement, and (b) shall not seek a deficiency or other personal judgment
against the Owner for such payment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Principal Parties, by their duly authorized officers,
have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
