        Re:      Cause No. 2014-2357-A; Hill v. Shaw, et al; 188'h District Cami, Gregg County,
                 Texas

Dear Jonathan:

       Please allow this letter to confirm our agreement made pursuant to Rule 11 of the Texas
Rules of Civil Procedure. This agreement will pertain specifically to the following:

   1) Defendants each agree to provide a net-worth statement in response to Plaintiffs' second
      set of interrogatories and request for production. Plaintiffs' concede that defendants'
      agreement to produce the requested information to plaintiffs renders the underlying
      mandamus concerning the trial judge's rnling on the 'non-discoverability' of this
      infonnation 'moot.'

   2) h1·espective of the above, Defendant Engines Unlimited intends to assert a cross-claim for
      contribution and indemnity against the seller of the subject vehicle. Defendant will
      contend, through information and belief, that the seller who was in a superior bargaining
      position, knowingly concealed a defect with the vehicle - namely that the engine of the
      vehicle was a 'lemon' or strncturally impaired to the point of worthlessness.

   3) Defendant further agrees that the filed and pending 'mechanic's lien' filed in Gregg
        County will be removed.

   4)    In exchange for the above concessions and agreements, plaintiff agrees to voluntarily
        dismiss the pending mandamus filed with the Twelfth Court of Appeals, styled In re
        Christy and K01y Hill, filed on May I, 2015.

   5)    Plaintiff also agrees that he will dismiss the pending motion( s) to remove invalid lien
        currently pending and set for hearing. In conjunction with this agreement, plaintiffs agree
        to relieve Mr. Andrew Shaw of his responsibility to appear pursuant to a subpoena

                     HOUSTON        •       TYLER          •       DALLAS

                                www.WhiteShaverLaw.com
       requiring him to appear for hearing on plaintiffs' motion(s) to declare mechanic's lien
       invalid.

        If the above accurately sets forth our agreements on the stated issues, please sign in the
space provided below. If you'd like to discuss the language of the parties' agreement, please feel
free to contact me at 903-533-9447, or on my cell at 903-312-6219.

                                                     Yours ve1y truly,

                                                     WHITE /. . l   SHAVER
