    SECOND JOINT AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
             TO FILE MOTION(S) FOR REHEARING

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

      Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 49.8,

Appellees/Cross-Appellants UP Austin Holdings, LP and UP Austin Land

Holdings, LP (collectively, “UP Austin”), Appellee/Cross-Appellant East Avenue

Property Owners’ Association, Inc. (“POA”), and Appellants/Cross-Appellees

Central Austin Apartments, LLC, UP-32nd Street, LLC, and UP-32nd Street
Hospitality, LLC (collectively, “Cypress Defendants”) file this Second Joint

Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion(s) for Rehearing and

respectfully request that this Honorable Court grant each party a 7-day extension of

time to file a Motion for Rehearing, to and including January 29, 2015.

      In support thereof, the parties would respectfully show the Court as follows:

      1. This Court issued its 44-page opinion and judgment in Central Austin

Apartments, LLC, et al. v. UP Austin Holdings, LP, et al., No. 03-13-00080-CV, on

December 8, 2014.

      2. On December 19, 2014, the parties jointly filed a motion requesting a 30-

day extension of time to file motion(s) for rehearing. The Court granted that

motion on December 22, 2014.

      3. The parties’ respective Motion(s) for Rehearing currently are due on

January 22, 2015.

      4. The parties request an extension of time of 7 days, to and including,

January 29, 2015. This is each party’s second request for an extension on any

motion for rehearing.

      4. Good cause supports this request. The parties actively have pursued

settlement discussions since the Court issued its opinion and currently are working

on finalizing the language of a settlement agreement. The parties are optimistic

SECOND JOINT AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE MOTION(S) FOR REHEARING – PAGE 2
that a settlement, which would allow the trial court to dismiss the action on

remand, will be reached.

      5. This extension is not sought for delay, but rather to allow the parties and

counsel to finalize a settlement agreement, which would obviate the need for

further proceedings on the merits in this Court and any other.

                                     PRAYER

      For the foregoing reasons, the parties pray that the Court grant this Second

Joint Agreed Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion(s) for Rehearing, and

grant each party an additional 7 days, to and including January 29, 2015, in which

to file a Motion for Rehearing. The parties pray for such other and further relief to

which they may be entitled.
