During the period commencing with the Effective Date to and including the Funding Termination Date, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender will make Advances under the Line of Credit (the “Loans”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day in such amounts as the Borrower may request up to and including the Line of Credit Amount, and Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow under this Line of Credit; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under the Line of Credit plus any Advances reserved for Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount. To evidence the Loans to be made by Lender under this Line of Credit pursuant to this Section, Borrower will issue, execute and deliver the Note in the original principal amount of $25,000,000.00.

Each Co-Borrower shall have joint and several liability for all Advances made under the Line of Credit and for all obligations under the Loan Agreement.

27
Section 7.12 Binding Effect: Governing Law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, Guarantor and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender. This Agreement, the Note and the Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.

Section 7.14 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder.

Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice of an assignment of all of Lender’s interest in the Note and Loan Documents. Lender and any assignee, participant or other holder of all or any portion of any loan made pursuant to this Agreement shall be jointly entitled to all of the benefits of Lender under this Agreement, including the right to enforce all provisions of this Agreement binding upon Borrower and Guarantor. None of the rights, privileges or benefits of Borrower may be assigned to any person or entity, nor may any of the duties or obligations of Borrower and Guarantor be delegated to any person or entity, without the prior express written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lender shall not sell the Note and the Loan Documents except to a lender experienced in servicing loans of a similar nature.
Section 7.16 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Dispute Resolution. This section contains a jury waiver, arbitration clause, and a class action waiver. READ IT CAREFULLY.
|
|
(a) |
Jury Trial Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, each party waives their respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any Dispute (as “Dispute” is hereinafter defined), and Disputes shall be resolved by a judge sitting without a jury. If a court determines that this provision is not enforceable for any reason and at any time prior to trial of the Dispute, but not later than 30 days after entry of the order determining this provision is unenforceable, any party shall be entitled to move the court for an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing such litigation pending arbitration (“Arbitration Order”). |
28
|
|
(b) |
Arbitration. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between us with respect to this Agreement, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of us whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a “Dispute”), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of us may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal. |
|
|
|
Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or National Arbitration Forum (“Administrator”) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations we have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or (iii) involving any of the employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. However, Disputes do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, each party hereto will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in the city and state where Lender is headquartered. |
|
|
|
After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration. The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment; (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the Agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration. |
29
|
|
|
Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney’s fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply. |
|
|
|
Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrator’s rules, this arbitration provision shall control. |
|
|
(c) |
Class Action Waiver. Each party waives the right to litigate in court or arbitrate any claim or Dispute as a class action, either as a member of a class or as a representative, or to act as a private attorney general. |
|
|
(d) |
Reliance. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this section. |
30
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed in multiple originals, this 23rd day of December, 2009, to be effective December 23rd, 2009.
