REINSTATEMENT INSTRUMENT
     THIS REINSTATEMENT INSTRUMENT (the “Instrument”) is made and entered into
on September 4, 2009, but effective as of July 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”)
among Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IOT”),
Syntek West, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SWI”), and Prime Income Asset
Management LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Prime”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
     WHEREAS, IOT and SWI are parties to that certain Advisory Agreement dated
effective July 1, 2003 (the “SWI Advisory Agreement”) covering SWI’s service as
a contractual advisor to IOT and its Board of Directors to, among other things,
locate, investigate, evaluate and recommend real estate mortgage note investment
and sales opportunities as well as financing and refinancing sources and to
serve as a consultant to the Board of Directors in connection with the business
plans and investment decisions by the Board;
     WHEREAS, on July 17, 2009, but effective as of July 1, 2009, IOT and SWI
entered into that certain Termination Agreement dated July 17, 2009, but
effective July 1, 2009 (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which, among
other things, the SWI Advisory Agreement was terminated by mutual agreement;
     WHEREAS, unknown to IOT, SWI made an accommodation pledge of such SWI
Advisory Agreement to another entity as partial collateral for a judgement
indebtedness of another entity which, if the SWI Advisory Agreement were
ultimately terminated, would inadvertently create potential damage to such other
entity;
     WHEREAS, in connection with and as a result of the Termination Agreement,
IOT entered into an Advisory Agreement with Prime on substantially the same
terms and conditions as the SWI Advisory Agreement, except for the replacement
of SWI with Prime;
     WHEREAS, all of the parties to this Instrument now desire to (i) terminate
in full the Advisory Agreement dated July 17, 2009, effective July 1, 2009
between IOT and Prime, (ii) reinstate in full the SWI Advisory Agreement as if
same had never been terminated pursuant to the Termination Agreement and
(iii) excerpt for the reinstatement of the SWI Advisory Agreement, continue the
other matters under the Termination Agreement.
     ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual
promises, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, and on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and for other good and
valuable consideration, including the payment by SWI to IOT of $1,000 and the
corresponding payment by IOT to Prime of $1,000, the receipt, sufficiency and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned do hereby
