          reserved,  charged  or  received  under law and any  interest  in
          excess of said maximum  shall be credited to the principal of the
          debt or, if that has been paid, refunded.

     incorporated into each of the Notes for all purposes, and said Modification
     Agreement shall be controlling in the event of a conflict with the language

10.  MAC hereby  absolutely  and  unconditionally  guarantees  full and punctual
     payment no later than  October 1, 2008 of all  obligations  of the  Company
     owing to MAP pursuant to the Notes,  now existing or hereafter  arising and
     howsoever evidenced or acquired (all such obligations and liabilities being
     collectively  referred to as the "Liabilities"),  together with any and all
     Costs (as defined below). If MAP employs counsel (i) to represent it in any
     litigation,  contest, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to this Guaranty
     or any of the  Liabilities  after October 1, 2008; or (ii) to enforce MAC's
     obligations to MAP, then, all reasonable attorneys' fees plus all expenses,
     costs and charges  arising in  connection  therewith  or  relating  thereto
     (collectively,  the  "Costs")  shall be paid by MAC to MAP,  whether or not
     suit is filed or arbitration is initiated within 30 calendar days after MAC
     receives a written statement of said Costs.

     Prior to receipt of, or as a condition to,  payment or  performance  by MAC
     hereunder,  MAP shall not be required to  prosecute  collection  or seek to
     enforce or resort to any  remedies  against  the  Company or  exercise  any
     diligence  whatsoever  in  collecting  or  attempting to collect any of the
     Liabilities  by any  means.  To the  extent  not  prohibited  by  law,  MAC
     unconditionally waives (i) presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand
     for  payment  and all  notices of any kind  (including  without  limitation
     notice of  acceptance  and  notice of any action  taken to collect  upon or
     enforce any of the  Liabilities),  (ii) any claim for contribution  against
     any  co-guarantor,  and (iii) any now  existing  setoffs  or  counterclaims
     against MAP which would  otherwise  impair MAP's  rights  against MAC under
     this Modification Agreement.

     If at any  time  payment,  or any part  thereof,  of any part of any of the
     Liabilities  is rescinded or must  otherwise be restored or returned by MAP
     upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy or reorganization of the MAC, this Section
     of the  Modification  Agreement  shall continue to be effective or shall be
     reinstated,  as the case may be, all as though  such  payment  had not been
     made.

                                                                               3

11.  For purposes of this Modification  Agreement,  "Tax Related Expenses" means
     all applicable  taxes,  penalties or interest due (i) on or with respect to
     any real property  securing loans  included in the Loan  Portfolios or (ii)
     any other tax due and owing on any real property owned by the Company. MAC,
     using its own resources,  shall advance funds to the Company, no later than
     30 days after completion of a full analysis and projected  determination by
     MAP/MAC which shall be concluded  within 30 days after the Effective  Date,
     to pay for any and all Tax Related Expenses determined necessary to be paid
     as of the  Effective  Date and,  until the entire  principal  and  interest
     balance  on each of the Notes is paid in full,  and MAC shall  subsequently
     advance  funds to the Company in an amount equal to any and all Tax Related
     Expenses  that  become  due  after  the  Effective   Date  with  each  such
     subsequence advance being made before the respective Tax Related Expense is
     delinquent  or  otherwise  begins to accrue  interest  or  penalties.  Upon
     receipt of those advances,  the Company shall use the funds advanced by MAC
     to pay for the  aforementioned  Tax Related  Expenses  and MAC shall not be
     entitled to receive any interest on its aforementioned advances.

12.  MAC, as the Manager of the Company,  is  authorized to cause the Company to
     incur,  and pay for, (i) any and all  customary  and  reasonable  costs and
     expenses (such as maintenance costs, repairs,  cleanup,  insurance,  legal,
     title or other similar  costs) that are directly  related to the management
     of the loans provided such costs and expenses are incurred by a third party
     and  not by MAC or any  affiliate  of  MAC  (the  "Authorized  Third  Party
     Expenses"),  (ii) any Tax Related  Expenses,  (iii) the Commission Fees (as
     defined below and satisfying the limitations imposed in the definition) and
     (iv) any fee or reimbursement  due to MAC under the Servicing  Agreement as
     amended on the  Effective  Date (items (i) through  (iv) are referred to as
     "Approved Expenses").

13.  Beginning on the  Effective  Date,  except as may agreed upon in writing by
     MAP from time to time,  without the prior  written  consent of MAP, (i) MAC
     shall not  incur  any  expense  on  behalf  of the  Company  that is not an
     Approved Expense, and (ii) MAC shall be solely liable and responsible,  and
     shall not seek reimbursement from the Company, for any cost or expense that
     it incurs that is not an Approved Expense.

14.  Section 6.3 in the  Regulations  is hereby amended by deleting said Section
     6.3 in its  entirety  and by  inserting a new Section 6.3 in lieu  thereof,
     which shall read as follows:

          6.3. Reimbursement and Distributions.
               --------------------------------

               (a)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein,  cash flow
          from  proceeds of the sale of the  Company's  assets  and/or  services
          shall,  to the  extent  permitted  by law,  (i)  first be  applied  to
          reimburse  MAC for any Tax Related  Expenses as applicable to the note
          sold,  (ii)  second to pay any  Authorized  Third  Party  Expenses  or

                                                                               4

          MAC by the Company  under the terms of the  Servicing  Agreement  (iv)
          fourth  to repay or  prepay  the  entire  outstanding  balance  of the
          Initial  MAP Loan and each  Additional  MAP Loan,  including,  without
          limitation,  the Notes,  and (v) fifth to any other  creditors  of the
          Company other than MAC or its  affiliates  in an amount  sufficient to
          cover sums then due and owing.

               (b)   Notwithstanding   anything  herein  to  the  contrary,   no
          distribution  shall be made to any of the Members  until all principal
          and  interest of the Initial  MAP Loan and each  Additional  MAP Loan,
          including,  without  limitation,  the  Notes,  have  been paid in full
          regardless if then due and owing.

               Upon  satisfaction  of the  foregoing,  the  Company  shall  make
          distributions pursuant to Sections 6.3(c), 6.3(d), 6.4 and 9.2.

          Members,  in  proportion  to the Members'  respective  Percentages  of
          Interest,  on the last day of March,  June,  September and December of

               (d) Except as provided in Section 6.4,  the Company  shall make a

          amount  sufficient to defray federal,  state and local tax liabilities
          of such Member with respect to such excess for the Fiscal Year,  based
          upon the  then-current  highest  marginal  federal  tax rate  plus the
          then-current highest marginal state tax rate for the State of Texas.

     amended by deleting  said  Section 2 in its entirety and by inserting a new
     Section in lieu thereof, which shall read as follows:

      business.  If the Company deems it necessary for the Consultant to

      ethics.  Except to perform the consulting services hereunder,
      Consultant shall not use time, materials, or equipment of the Company without
      the prior written consent of the Company.  In no event shall
      Consultant take any action or accept any assistance or engage in any activity
      that would result in any university, governmental body, research institute

      entity or organization, no information regarding the services to be performed
      under this Agreement shall be disclosed to that person, entity or organization
      until such person, entity or organization has executed an agreement to protect
      the confidentiality of the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below)

      prepared for and submitted to the Company by Consultant in connection with
      the
      services rendered under this Agreement shall belong exclusively to the Company

      the Company shall have the right to obtain and hold in its own name any
      trademark, copyright, or mask work registration, and any other registrations

      - Consultant covenants and agrees that during the term of this
      Agreement, Consultant will not, directly or indirectly, through an existing
      corporation, unincorporated business, affiliated party, successor employer,
      or
      otherwise, solicit, hire for employment or work with, on a part-time,
      consulting, advising or any other basis, other than on behalf of the Company
      any
      employee or independent contractor employed by the Company while Consultant
      is

    ARTICLE
      8 - RIGHT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

    

    Consultant
      acknowledges that the terms of Articles 5, 6, and 7 of this Agreement are
      reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, are
      reasonable in scope and duration, and are not unduly
      restrictive.  Consultant further acknowledges that a breach of any of
      the terms of Articles 5, 6, or 7 of this Agreement will render irreparable
      harm
      to the Company, and that a remedy at law for breach of the Agreement is
      inadequate, and that the Company shall therefore be entitled to seek any and
      all
      equitable relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, and to
      any
      other remedy that may be available under any applicable law or agreement between
      the parties.  Consultant acknowledges that an award of damages to the
      Company does not preclude a court from ordering injunctive
      relief.  Both damages and injunctive relief shall be proper modes of
      relief and are not to be considered as alternative remedies.

      of Breach

      binding upon and inure to the parties hereto, their successors and
      assigns.
