In the event of such uncured default, or in the event of a default which cannot by its very nature be cured, then Stellar may at its option, immediately declare Cavanaughs' rights under this Management Agreement terminated, and reenter the Property using such force as may be necessary, and repossess itself thereof, as of its former estate, and remove all persons and property.

19. MISCELLANEOUS
