foregoing, any investment in Assets by the Company or the Operating Partnership
(as well as any financing acquired by the Company or the Operating Partnership
in connection with the investment), will require the prior approval of the
Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors).


 


(c)                                  The prior approval of a
majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of the Board not otherwise
interested in the transaction will be required for each transaction with the
Advisor or its Affiliates.


 


(d)                                 If a transaction requires
approval by the Board, the Advisor will deliver to the Directors all documents
required by them to properly evaluate the proposed transaction.


 


The Board may, at any time upon the giving of
notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the authority set forth in this Section 2.03.
If and to the extent the Board so modifies or revokes the authority contained
herein, the Advisor shall henceforth submit to the Board for prior approval the
proposed transactions involving investments in Assets as thereafter require
prior approval, provided however, that the modification or revocation shall be
effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment
transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company prior to the date
of receipt by the Advisor of the notification.


 


2.04                          Bank Accounts.  The Advisor may establish and maintain one or
more bank accounts in its own name for the account of the Company or in the
name of the Company and may collect and deposit into any account or accounts,
and disburse from any account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company,
under the terms and conditions as the Board may approve, provided that no funds
of the Company or the Operating Partnership shall be commingled nor shall any
of such funds be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor
shall from time to time render accountings of the collections and payments to
the Board, its Audit Committee and the auditors of the Company.


 


2.05                          Records; Access.  The Advisor shall maintain records of all its

The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and
records of the Company.


 


11

















 


2.06                          Limitations on Activities.  Anything else in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action
which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect
the status of the Company as a REIT, (b) subject the Company to regulation
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any
law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency
having jurisdiction over the Company, the Shares or any of the Company’s
securities, or otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws, except if the action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the
Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the
potential impact of the action and shall refrain from taking the action until
it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board.  In such event the Advisor shall have no
liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board
so given.  The Advisor, its directors,
officers, employees and stockholders, and the directors, officers, employees
and stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company
or to the Board or Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its
directors, officers, employees or stockholders, or for any act or omission of
any Affiliate of the Advisor, its directors, officers or employees or
stockholders except as provided in Section 5.02 of this Agreement.


 


2.07                          Relationship with Directors.  Directors, officers and employees of the
Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor may serve as Directors, officers or
employees of the Company, except that no director, officer or employee of the
Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director shall receive any compensation
from the Company for serving as a Director other than reasonable reimbursement
for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board.


 


2.08                          Other Activities of the Advisor.  Nothing herein contained shall prevent the
Advisor or its Affiliates from engaging in other activities, including, without
limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs)
and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the
Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right
of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its
Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to
any other Person.  The Advisor may, with
respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render
advice and service to each and every other participant therein.  The Advisor shall report to the Board the
existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which
it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between
the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest
in any other Person.  The Advisor or its
Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or
circumstance.  The Advisor shall inform
the Board at least quarterly of the investment opportunities that have been
offered to other programs with similar investment objectives sponsored by the
Sponsor, Advisor, Director or their Affiliates. 
If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored
other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have
investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the
duty of the Board (including the Independent Directors) to adopt the method set
forth in the Company’s most recent Prospectus for its Shares or another
reasonable method by which investments are to be allocated to the competing
investment entities and to use their best efforts to apply such method fairly
to the Company.


 


2.09                          Payment of
Certain Organization and Offering Expenses.  The Company shall pay directly all
Organization and Offering Expenses considered underwriting compensation by the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA.  Such payments, other than Selling Commissions
and the dealer manager fee, shall apply towards the limit on Organization and
Offering Expenses reimbursable by the Company to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i) below.

ARTICLE III


 


COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF SPECIFIED COSTS


 


3.01                          Fees.


 


(a)                                  Asset
Management Fee.  The Company
shall pay the Advisor a monthly Asset Management Fee on the 15th day of each month in an amount equal to 1/12th of 0.75% of the sum of, for each and every
Asset, the higher of the Cost of Investment or the Value of Investment.  The Advisor, in its sole discretion, may
waive, reduce or defer all or any portion of the Asset Management Fee to which
it would otherwise be entitled.


 


(b)                                 Acquisition and
Advisory Fees.  The Company
shall pay the Advisor a fee in the amount of 1.75% of the Contract Purchase
Price of each Asset as Acquisition and Advisory Fees.  The total of all Acquisition
Fees and any Acquisition Expenses shall be limited in accordance with the
Articles of Incorporation.  Acquisition
and Advisory Fees shall be paid as follows: (1) for real property
(including properties where development/redevelopment is expected), at the time
of acquisition, (2) for development/redevelopment projects (other than the
initial acquisition of the real property), at the time a final budget is
approved, and (3) for loans and similar assets (including without
limitation mezzanine loans), quarterly based on the value of loans made or
acquired.  In the case of a
development/redevelopment project subject to clause (2) above, upon
completion of the development/redevelopment project, the Advisor shall
determine the actual amounts paid.  To
the extent the amounts actually paid vary from the budgeted amounts on which
the Acquisition and Advisory Fee was initially based, the Advisor will pay or
invoice the Company for 1.75% of the budget variance such
that the Acquisition and Advisory Fee is ultimately 1.75% of amounts
expended on such development/redevelopment project.  The Advisor, in its sole discretion, may
waive, reduce or defer all or any portion of the Acquisition and Advisory Fees
to which it would otherwise be entitled.


 


(c)                                  [Intentionally Omitted]


 


(d)                                 Debt Financing Fee.  In the event of any debt financing obtained
by or for the Company (including any refinancing of debt), the Company will pay
to the Advisor a debt financing fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount
available under the financing.  The Debt
Financing Fee includes the reimbursement of the specified cost incurred by the
Advisor of engaging third parties to source debt financing, and nothing herein
shall prevent the Advisor from entering fee-splitting arrangements with third
parties with respect to the Debt Financing Fee. 
The Advisor, in its sole discretion, may waive, reduce or defer all or
any portion of the Debt Financing Fee to which it would otherwise be entitled.


 


(e)                                  Development Fee.  If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides the
development services, the Company shall pay the Advisor Development Fees in
amounts that are usual and customary for comparable services rendered to
similar projects in the geographic market; provided, however, that a majority
of the Independent Directors must determine that such Development Fees are fair
and reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable than those
available from unaffiliated third parties. 
Development Fees will include the reimbursement of the specified cost
incurred by the Advisor of engaging third parties for such services.  The Advisor, in its sole discretion, may
waive, reduce or defer all or any portion of the Development Fee to which it
would otherwise be entitled. 
Notwithstanding the above, the Advisor may engage (on behalf of the
Company) third parties to provide development services pursuant to its authority
under Section 2.03 and pay such third parties all applicable Development
Fees.

3.02                          Expenses.


 


(a)                                  In addition to the
compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof and
except as noted in Section 2.09 above, the Company shall pay directly or
reimburse the Advisor for all of the costs and expenses paid or incurred by the
Advisor that are in any way related to the operations of the Company or the
business of the Company or the services the Advisor provides to the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

Expenses, together with organization and offering expenses previously advanced
by the Advisor related to a prior offering of the Company’s shares, to the
extent not reimbursed out of proceeds from the prior offering (“Prior  Offering Additional
Reimbursement”); provided, however, that, within 60 days after the
end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse
the Company to the extent that Organization and Offering Expenses (other than
Selling Commissions and the dealer manager fee) together with the Prior
Offering Additional Reimbursement incurred by the Company exceed 1.5% of the
Gross Proceeds raised in the completed Offering, unless the terms of this
Agreement are amended upon renewal to provide otherwise in connection with
subsequent Offerings.


 


(ii)                                  Acquisition Fees and

income or property and taxes as an expense of doing business;


 


(vi)                              costs associated with
insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the

(ix)                                except as otherwise limited
by the Articles of Incorporation, expenses associated with Listing or with the
issuance and distribution of Shares and other securities of the Company, such
as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and
accounting fees and Listing and registration fees, but excluding Organization
and Offering Expenses;


 


(x)                                   expenses connected with

or amending the Articles of Incorporation;


 


(xii)                             expenses of any third party
transfer agent for the Shares and of maintaining communications with
Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual
reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports
required by governmental entities;


 


(xiii)                          personnel and related
employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the
services described herein, including but not limited to reasonable salaries and
wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in the
performance of such services; provided, that no reimbursement shall be made for
costs of such employees of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that
such employees perform services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee
other than in connection with the Advisor directly providing the Additional
Services; and


 


(xiv)                         audit, accounting and legal
fees.


 


(b)                                 Expenses incurred by the
Advisor on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant to this Section 3.02
shall be reimbursed no less than quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days
after the end of each quarter.  The
Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company
during each quarter, and shall deliver the statement to the Company within 45
days after the end of each quarter.


 


(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 3.02, (i) the Advisor will be
responsible for paying all of the investment-related expenses that the Company
or the Advisor incurs that are due to third parties or in connection with
providing the Additional Services with respect to investments the Company does
not make other than Non-Refundable Payments and (ii) the Company shall be
responsible for paying directly or reimbursing the Advisor for all
Non-Refundable Payments.


 


3.03                          Other Services.  Should the Board request that the Advisor or
any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other
than set forth in Section 2.02, the services shall be separately
compensated at the rates and in the amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and
the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles
of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement.


 


3.04                          Reimbursement to the Advisor. The Company shall not
reimburse the Advisor for Total Operating Expenses to the extent that Total
Operating Expenses (including the Asset Management Fee), in the four
consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense
Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”)
the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income for that
period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. Any Excess Amount paid to the
Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. Reimbursement
of all or any portion of the Total Operating Expenses that exceed the
limitation set forth in the preceding sentence may, at the option of the
Advisor, be deferred without interest and may be reimbursed in any subsequent
Expense Year where such limitation would permit such reimbursement if the Total
Operating Expense were incurred during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if there is an Excess Amount in any Expense Year and the Independent Directors
determine that all or a portion of such excess was justified, based on unusual
and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the Excess Amount may be
reimbursed to the Advisor.  If the
Independent Directors determine such excess was justified, then, after the end
of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which there is an Excess Amount for
the 12 months then ended paid to the Advisor, the Advisor, at the direction of
the 


 


15

















 


Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed in the
next quarterly report of the Company or in a separate writing and sent to the
Stockholders within 60 days of such quarter end, together with an explanation
of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such
Excess Amount was justified. Such determination shall be reflected in the
minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Company will not reimburse the
Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates
are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. All figures used in
any computation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis.

by the Company.


 


(a)                                  The Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including
their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, from all
liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties
hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the
extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not
fully reimbursed by insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws
of the State of Maryland, the Articles of Incorporation and the NASAA REIT
Guidelines.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Advisor or its Affiliates,
including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, for any
liability or loss suffered by the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their
respective officers, directors, partners and employees, nor shall it provide
that the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers,
directors, partners and employees, be held harmless for any loss or liability
suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) the
Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors,
partners and employees, have determined, in good faith, that the course of
conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the
Company; (ii) the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective
officers, directors, partners and employees, were acting on behalf of or
performing services of the Company; (iii) the liability or loss was not
the result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or its Affiliates,
including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees; and (iv) the

liability or expenses arising from or out of 


 


17

are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of
each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular
indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the
merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee;
and (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the
claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the
request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities
regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as
to indemnification for violations of securities laws.


 


(b)                                 The Company may
advance funds to the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective
officers, directors, partners and employees, for legal expenses and other costs
incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being
sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the
legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of
duties or services on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is
initiated by a third-party who is not a stockholder or the legal action is
initiated by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of
competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; (iii) the
Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors,
partners and employees, undertake to repay the advanced funds to the Company
together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which
the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors,
partners and employees, are found not to be entitled to indemnification.


 


(c)                                  Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 5.01, the Advisor shall not be entitled to
indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any
activity which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the
Company pursuant to Section 5.02.

the Company from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses
and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that the liability,
claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed
by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud,
misfeasance, misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties,
but the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in
following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the
Advisor.

6.01                          Assignment
to an Affiliate.  This
Agreement and any rights, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder and the
fees and compensation related thereto may be assigned by the Advisor, in whole
or in part, to a duly qualified and licensed Affiliate of the Advisor without
obtaining the approval of the Board.  Any
other assignment shall be made only with the approval of a majority of the
Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors).  The Advisor may assign any rights to receive
fees or other

payments
under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by the
Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment
by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to
all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case the
successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said
assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding on successors
to the Company resulting from a Change of Control or sale of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company or the Operating Partnership, and
shall likewise be binding upon any successor to the Advisor.


 


6.02                          Non-Solicitation.  During the period commencing on September 2,
2008 and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, the
Company shall not, without the Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or
indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or
other service of the Advisor or any of its affiliates, or (ii) hire, on
behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has left
the employment of the Advisor or any of its affiliates within the one-year
period following the termination of that person’s employment with the Advisor
or any of its affiliates.  During the
period commencing on September 2, 2008 and ending one year following the
termination of this Agreement, the Company will not, whether for its own
account or for the account of any other person, firm, corporation or other
business organization, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the
Advisor or any of its affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the
Advisor or any of its affiliates, any person who during the term of this
Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period was, a tenant,
co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other customer of the Advisor or
any of its affiliates.


 


6.03                          Relationship of Advisor and
Company.  The Company
and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or
joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.


 


6.04                          Notices.  Any notice, report or other communication required
or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method
of giving such notice, report or other communication is required by the
Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is
given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or

19

















 


6.06                          Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are
independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be
affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for
any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole
or in part.


 


6.07                          Choice of Law; Venue.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas,
and venue for any action brought with respect to any claims arising out of this
Agreement shall be brought exclusively in Dallas County, Texas.


 


6.08                          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement
and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or
written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The express terms hereof control and
supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with
any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended other
than by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.


 


6.09                          Waiver.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor
shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of the right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any other occurrence.  No
waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party
asserted to have granted the waiver.


 


6.10                          Gender; Number.  Words used herein regardless of the number
and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any
other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or
neuter, as the context requires.


 


6.11                          Headings.  The titles and headings of sections and
subsections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and they
neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the
construction or interpretation hereof.


 


6.12                          Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any
party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument. 
This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts
hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the
parties reflected hereon as the signatories.


 


6.13                           Initial
Investment.  The Advisor
or one of its Affiliates has contributed $200,001.69 (the “Initial
Investment”) in exchange for Shares of the Company. The Advisor or
its Affiliates may not sell any of the Shares purchased with the Initial
Investment while the Advisor acts in an advisory capacity to the Company. The
restrictions included above shall not apply to any Shares acquired by the
Advisor or its Affiliates other than the Shares acquired through the Initial
Investment.  Before becoming a
stockholder, Behringer Harvard Holdings, an affiliate of the Advisor, the
Advisor, the Company’s directors and officers and their affiliates must agree
not to vote their shares regarding (1) the removal of any of these
affiliates and (2) any transaction between them and the Company.


 


6.14                          Ownership
of Proprietary Property.  The Advisor retains ownership of and reserves
all Intellectual Property Rights in the Proprietary Property.  To the extent that the
Company has or obtains any claim to any right, title or interest in the
Proprietary Property, including without limitation in any suggestions,
enhancements or contributions that Company may provide regarding the
Proprietary 


 


20

















 


Property, the Company hereby assigns and transfers exclusively to the
Advisor all right, title and interest, including without limitation all
Intellectual Property Rights, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or
licenses in favor of the Company or any other party, in and to the Proprietary
Property.  In addition, at the Advisor’s
expense, the Company will perform any acts that may be deemed desirable by the
Advisor to evidence more fully the transfer of ownership of right, title and
interest in the Proprietary Property to the Advisor, including but not limited
to the execution of any instruments or documents now or hereafter requested by
the Advisor to perfect, defend or confirm the assignment described herein, in a
form determined by the Advisor.


 


6.15                          Treatment Under Texas Margin Tax. For purposes
of the Texas margin tax, the Advisor’s performance of the services specified in
this Agreement will cause the Advisor to conduct part of the active trade or
business of the Company, and the compensation specified in Article III
includes both the payment of management fees and the reimbursement of specified
costs incurred in the Advisor’s conduct of the active trade or business of the
Company.  Therefore, the Advisor and
Company intend Advisor to be, and shall treat Advisor as, a “management company”
within the meaning of Section 171.0001(11) of the Texas Tax Code.  The Company and the Advisor will apply
Sections 171.1011(m-1) and 171.1013(f)-(g) of the Texas Tax Code to the
Company’s reimbursements paid to the Advisor pursuant to this Agreement of
specified costs and wages and compensation. 
The Advisor and the Company further recognize and intend that (i) as
a result of the fiduciary relationship created by this Agreement and
acknowledged in Section 2.02, reimbursements paid to the Advisor pursuant
to this Agreement are “flow-though funds” that the Advisor is mandated by law
or fiduciary duty to distribute, within the meaning of Section 171.1011(f) of
the Texas Tax Code, and (ii) as a result of Advisor’s contractual duties
under this Agreement, certain reimbursements under this Agreement are “flow-through
funds” mandated by contract to be distributed within the meaning of Section 171.1011(g) of
the Texas Tax Code.  The terms of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the characterization
of the Advisor as a “management company” as defined in Section 171.0001(11),
and with the characterization of the reimbursements as “flow-though funds”
within the meaning of Section 171.1011(f)-(g) of the Texas Tax Code.


 


6.16                          Savings Clause.  If any
provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, then such provision will be
modified to reflect the parties’ intention.  All remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
