We do not anticipate that you will have any problems in making payment for our

services. The Firm reserves the right to use the services of a collection agency to collect

unpaid balances owed by you. Therefore, you consent and agree that the Firm may

disclose confidential information to a collection agency to enable the agency to collect

the fees, which might be due to the Firm from you, pursuant to Tex. Comm. on

Professional Ethics, Opinion 495.

You should have separate counsel review this

confidential information.

______ (Initial)

XII.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

As of the date of this agreement, Attorney has conducted an extensive search of his other

client relationships in order to determine whether representation of Client would create a conflict

of interest in connection with other attorney-client relationships of the Attorney. The Attorney’s

search for relationships will be a continuing one. The Attorney has discovered no existing

attorney-client relationships that create a present conflict of interest. Notwithstanding that fact,

issues involving the legal affairs of other clients of the Attorney, while not present now, may

raise an adverse interest of such other Attorney clients and Client may be adversed at a future

date. In the event such circumstance occurs, the Attorney would not represent Client in matters

adverse to another Attorney’s client. Client would be required to retain counsel other than the

Attorney to represent its interest in such matter. In addition, if such adverse representation

pertains to an Attorney’s client, with whom the Attorney has an attorney-client relationship as of

the date of this agreement, to the extent the Attorney’s representation of such existing Attorney’s

client is acceptable by that client as being permitted under applicable ethical standards, and to the

extent permitted by law, Client consents to the Attorney’s continued representation of such

existing Attorney’s client and Client will not object to any disqualification of Attorney as the

legal representation of such other Attorney’s client.
