including but not limited to, debt secured by the Asset.

Proinvest shall be reimbursed for the administrative services provided by Proinvest or its affiliates and necessary to the prudent operation of the Owner; provided that the reimbursement shall be at the lower of Proinvest’s actual cost or the amount the Owner would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location.

Except as provided for in the LLC Agreement, Proinvest’s in-house expenses shall in no event be reimbursable expenditures.

(e) Time Reimbursement Due. Owner shall pay to Proinvest the amount of reimbursable expenses incurred by Proinvest during the preceding calendar month that are reimbursable pursuant to this Section 8.2 provided that Owner has received from Proinvest an itemized statement of such reimbursable costs; such expenses shall be paid by Owner within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of such itemized statement.

(B) unless such act or omission is a breach of any of Proinvest’s covenants or representation in this Agreement, in which event the Proinvest Indemnitees will not be indemnified under this Agreement; or

(C) unless such Losses are covered by insurance, in which event the Proinvest Indemnitees will be indemnified only to the extent of any deductible and any uninsured Losses, and provided that the indemnity under this subparagraph (i) of Section 10.1.2 shall be void if Proinvest fails to carry and/or maintain the insurance as required under this Agreement (unless such failure is due to Owner’s failure to provide Proinvest with funds to pay the premium for the insurance after Proinvest has requested such funds from Owner in writing); or

provided that the indemnity under this subparagraph (iii) of Section 10.1.2 shall be void if Proinvest fails to carry and/or maintain the insurance as required under this Agreement (unless such failure is due to Owner’s failure to provide Proinvest with funds to pay the premium for the

insurance after Proinvest has requested such funds from Owner in writing); or

(iv) which arise solely from the fact of Proinvest’s status as a party to this Agreement, and not from any act or omission of Proinvest or those acting on its behalf, unless such losses are covered by insurance, in which event the Proinvest Indemnitees will be indemnified only to the extent of any deductible and any uninsured Losses, provided that the indemnity under this subparagraph (iv) of Section 10.1.2 shall be void if Proinvest fails to carry and/or maintain the insurance as required under this Agreement (unless such failure is due to owner’s failure to provide Proinvest with funds to pay the premium for the insurance after Proinvest has requested such funds from Owner in writing).

10.2. Indemnity Procedures. If any claim shall be asserted, or any action, suit or other proceeding shall be instituted, by a third party against (i) any Owner Indemnitee or (ii) any Proinvest Indemnitee (each an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any occurrence as to which the other party (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall have any indemnity obligation under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Indemnifying Party of the assertion of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and shall tender the defense and, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, settlement or compromise of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding to Indemnifying Party for conduct thereof by Indemnifying Party. Indemnifying Party shall timely commence and diligently continue such defense, settlement or compromise at Indemnifying Party’s sole expense. Indemnifying Party shall have the right to select counsel, subject to Indemnified Party’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for such defense. Should any such claim, action, suit or proceeding result in a final and unappealable judgment, Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the same. Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with Indemnifying Party to the extent Indemnifying Party may reasonably request such cooperation but at the sole expense of Indemnifying Party. Indemnifying Party shall succeed to and have the benefit of all the defenses, claims and other rights of each Indemnified Party relating to or affecting any obligation or liability of Indemnifying Party under this indemnity, and each Indemnified Party agrees to fully disclose any and all such defenses, claims and other rights to Indemnifying Party and upon request to promptly execute any documents and take any other action (at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party) necessary or desirable to further assure Indemnifying Party the right to the benefit of such defenses, claims or other rights. Indemnified Party shall have the right (but shall not have the obligation) upon notice to Indemnifying Party, at any time and at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, to be represented by counsel of its choice (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this subparagraph for the fees and expenses of more than one set of counsel for all Indemnified Parties unless a conflict of interest exists between or among Indemnified Parties) and to assert in any such action, suit or proceeding any counterclaims or cross claims Indemnified Party may have. In the event Indemnifying Party fails to timely commence the defense, settlement or compromise thereof, Indemnified Party shall have the right (but shall not have the obligation) upon notice to Indemnifying Party and failure of

Indemnifying Party to act, to defend, settle, compromise or take such other action as Indemnified Party shall deem necessary in connection with any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and, in the event it is determined that Indemnified Party was entitled to be indemnified under this Article X by Indemnifying Party, shall have the right to be indemnified by Indemnifying Party for the entire cost of defense, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and experts’ fees and expenses (including those incurred in connection with appellate proceedings). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any party making such claim, or any party to any such action, suit or proceeding, shall take any action to create or impose any lien or encumbrance on any of the assets of Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, action, suit or proceeding or if any judgment shall be entered which would result in Indemnified Party being obligated to pay the same, Indemnifying Party shall provide such bond, deposit or take such other action as shall be required to prevent the creation or imposition of any such lien, and to stay the execution of such judgment pending any appeal or other proceeding prior to final entry thereof. Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of Indemnified Party provided that, at the time of such settlement or compromise, Indemnifying Party shall satisfy and discharge any and all liability of Indemnified Party resulting therefrom or shall post security reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assure the ultimate satisfaction and discharge of such liability and provided that such settlement or compromise shall not require an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure or delay of Indemnified Party to promptly notify Indemnifying Party of the institution of any claim, action, suit or other proceeding shall not release or otherwise limit the indemnification obligation of Indemnifying Party except to the extent that Indemnifying Party shall be prejudiced by the failure or delay of Indemnified Party to give Indemnifying Party notice of such action, suit or proceeding.

10.3. Recovery of Litigation Costs. In the event any dispute between the parties to this Agreement shall result in litigation, arbitration or other proceeding, the court shall have the discretion to award to the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation or other proceeding and any appeal thereof.

ARTICLE XII.
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT; PROCEDURES UPON
TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF AGREEMENT

12.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time upon the mutual written agreement of Owner and Proinvest. Each party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default and the failure to cure such Event of Default within the grace periods provided pursuant to Section 12.2. As used herein, the term “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the followings

(a) the failure by any party to pay or transfer monies when and as payment shall be required pursuant to the terms of this Agreements

(b) the failure by any party to perform any of’ its non-monetary obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(c) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or for an arrangement or for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar law, Federal or state by any party, or the adjudication by decree of a court of competent jurisdiction that any party is a bankrupt, or is declared insolvent, or if any party shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of all or any part of its property; or

(d) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against any party or for reorganization of a party to this Agreement pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar law, federal or state, if such petition shall not be discharged or dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date on which such petition was filed; or

(e) the termination or dissolution of either party.

12.2 Notice of Default and Right to Cure. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting party shall provide the other party (the “Defaulting Party”) written notice setting forth the nature of such Event of Default, and the Defaulting Party shall have thirty (30) days to cure any Event of Default other than the failure of Proinvest to maintain insurance in

accordance with this Agreement, and Proinvest shall have ten (10) days to cure any failure to maintain insurance in accordance with this Agreement, provided, however, that if the nature of the Event of Default (other than the failure of Proinvest to maintain insurance in accordance with this Agreement) is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the Defaulting Party may cure such Event of Default by commencing in good faith to cure the default promptly after its receipt of such written notice and prosecuting the cure of such default to completion with diligence and continuity within a reasonable time thereafter, but in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter.

12.3. Failure to Cure. If the Defaulting Party fails to cure the Event of Default within the foregoing time periods, the other party may terminate this Agreement by written notice, which termination shall be effective upon receipt of the notice or upon the date specified in the notice.

12.4 Termination by Proinvest. Proinvest may resign as Manager only after two years following the effective date of the Registration Statement filed on behalf of the Owner with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and only if it has identified a successor person to serve as Manager, and such successor has been approved as successor Manager by a majority vote of the Board after being given ninety (90) days notice. Any such resignation by Proinvest shall automatically terminate this Agreement, effective as of the date of such resignation, unless otherwise agreed in writing between Owner and Proinvest. Proinvest may not otherwise resign, withdraw from or terminate its service as Manager of the Owner.

12.5 Payment to Withdrawn or Removed Manager. Upon the resignation, withdrawal or removal of Proinvest as Manager or termination of this Agreement, the Owner shall be required to pay Proinvest any amounts then accrued and owing to Proinvest under this Agreement. The method of payment to Proinvest must be fair and must protect the solvency and liquidity of the Owner. In addition, the Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate Proinvest’s interest in Owner’s income, losses, distributions and capital upon payment to Proinvest of an amount equal to the value of its interest in Owner’s income, losses, distributions and capital on the date of such resignation, withdrawal, removal or termination of this Agreement. Such interest shall be computed taking into account Proinvest’s economic interest in the Owner under the LLC Agreement. In the event Proinvest (or its representative) and the Owner cannot mutually agree upon such value within ninety (90) days following such resignation, withdrawal, removal or termination, such value shall be determined by arbitration before a panel of three appraisers, one of whom shall be selected by Proinvest (or its representative) and one by the Owner, and the third of whom shall be selected by the two appraisers so selected by the parties. Such arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas and shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association then in force and effect. The expense of arbitration shall be borne equally by Proinvest and the Owner. Payment to Proinvest of the value of its interest in Owner’s income, losses, distributions and

capital shall be made, if the termination was voluntary, by the delivery of an unsecured promissory note, bearing no interest and having principal payable, if at all, from distributions which Proinvest would have otherwise received under this Agreement. Payment to Proinvest of the value of its interest in Owner’s income, losses, distributions and capital shall be made, if the termination was involuntary, at the option of Proinvest, by the delivery of a promissory note, secured by a letter of credit issued by Texas Capital Bank, N.A. or other bank acceptable to Proinvest, coming due in five years from the date of termination, and bearing interest at the rate of the greater of nine percent (9%) per annum or the rate of interest most recently announced by Texas Capital Bank, N.A. as its “prime rate” as of the date of the termination plus one percent (1%) per annum, with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments.

12.6. Termination of Executory Contracts. Upon the removal or occurrence of an Event of Dissociation of Proinvest, this Agreement and all other executory contracts between the Owner and Proinvest or any affiliate thereof (unless such affiliate is also an affiliate of any remaining or new Manager) may be terminated and canceled by the Owner without prior notice or penalty, excluding any executory contract or agreement regarding the compensation, rights to indemnification or similar rights of Proinvest. Proinvest or any affiliate thereof (unless such affiliate is also an affiliate of a remaining or new Manager or Manager) may also terminate and cancel any such executory contract effective upon sixty (60) days prior written notice of such termination and cancellation to the remaining or new Manager or Managers, if any, or to the Owner. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Owner’s appointment of Proinvest as Manager shall terminate, but the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not affect any right, obligation or liability that has accrued under this Agreement, including specifically, but without limitation Proinvest’s rights to fees and other compensation payable under this Agreement and the LLC Agreement, except as provided herein and in the LLC Agreement.

12.7. Procedures upon Expiration or Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Proinvest, as directed by Owner, either will immediately deliver all documents, files, books, paper and accounts relating to the Assets (the “Records”) that are in Proinvest’s possession or control to the control of Owner or will hold the Records for up to a twelve (12) month period until Owner directs Proinvest to deliver the records. Proinvest may make and maintain copies of the Records for its files.

12.8. Duty of Cooperation. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the parties will cooperate with each other to effect an efficient and smooth transition of responsibility with respect to the Assets.

12.9. Default Interest. If Owner shall fail to pay any Proinvest Fee within ten (10) days following the receipt by Owner of notice of such failure, Owner shall pay interest to Proinvest on the delinquent amount from the tenth day following the due date at an annual rate equal to five (5) percentage points in excess of the prime rate of Texas Capital Bank, N.A. or such other bank

as shall hold the Operating Account, but in no event in excess of the highest rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

12.10. Late Payments. If the late payment by Proinvest of any expense payable by it on Owner’s behalf shall result in Owner incurring late charges or default interest, Proinvest shall itself pay if possible, or shall reimburse Owner promptly for the payment of, such charges and interest unless such late payment is due to Owner’s failure to provide funds to Proinvest to timely make such payments after being requested in writing by Proinvest to provide the funds required.
