Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may without notice terminate its commitment to lend hereunder and declare the Obligations or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.01(d) or Section 11.01(e), the commitment of Lender to lend hereunder shall automatically terminate, and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

Section 12.01 Expenses of Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay Lender on demand (i) all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any and all amendments, modifications, renewals, extensions, and supplements thereof and thereto, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Lender's legal counsel, (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Lender's legal counsel, and (iii) all other costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments, filing fees, and other charges levied by an governmental authority or otherwise payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in obtaining any mortgagee title insurance policy, survey, audit, or appraisal in respect of the Collateral.

Section 12.02. Indemnification. Borrowers hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold harmless Lender, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an "Indemnified Person") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, the "Claims") which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person (whether or not caused by any Indemnified Person's sole, concurrent or contributory negligence) arising in connection with the Loan Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral (including without limitation, the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the defense of any Indemnified Person's actions and/or inactions in connection with the Loan Documents), except to the limited extent the Claims against an Indemnified Person are proximately caused by such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any Borrower or any third party ever alleges such gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Indemnified Person, the indemnification provided for in this Section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall extend and continue to benefit each individual or entity who is or has at any time been an Indemnified Person hereunder.

-22-

Section 12.03 Limitation of Liability. Neither Lender nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrowers hereby waive, release, and agree not to xxx any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damage suffered or incurred by Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby waive, release, and agree not to xxx Lender or any of Lender's Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.04. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrowers or any of Borrowers’ shareholders, partners, or representatives or any other Person.

Section 12.05. Lender Not Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrowers and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrowers, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrowers and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 12.06. Equitable Relief. Borrowers recognize that in the event Borrowers fail to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender. Borrowers therefore agree that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Section 12.07. Restatement. The delivery of each statement, report, and certificate to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and each request by Borrowers for an Advance hereunder (whether by Advance Request Form or otherwise) shall by virtue of such delivery or request alone constitute a restatement of the representations and warranties contained in Article VII hereof on and as of the date of delivery or the date requested for the Advance, except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.02 shall in each instance be deemed to be made with respect to the financial statements most recently furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 7.02 or 8.01, as the case may be. Each such delivery or request shall also constitute a representation and warranty at the time of said delivery or on the date requested for the Advance that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that no event or condition has occurred and is continuing that with notice or lapse of time or both would bean Event of Default.

Section 12.08. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

Section 12.09. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

Section 12.10. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation by Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them.

Section 12.11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE Of PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

-23-

Section 12.12. Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and, if the principal of the Notes has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrowers and Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non‑principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

Section 12.13. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party shall be given or made by telex, telegraph, telecopy, cable, or in writing and telexed, telecopied, telegraphed, cabled, mailed by certified mail return receipt requested, or delivered to the intended recipient at then "Address for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or, as to any party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other party given in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telex or telecopy, subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or delivered to the telegraph or cable office, subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, when duly deposited in the mails, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid; provided, however, notices to Lender pursuant to Articles II and III shall not be effective until received by Lender. The Guarantors shall be copied on all default notices from Lender to Borrowers.

Section 12.14. Applicable Law; Venue; and Service of Process. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America. This Agreement has been entered into in Dallas County, Texas, and it shall be performable for all purposes in Dallas County, Texas. Any action or proceeding against Borrowers under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. Borrowers hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (ii) waive any objection they may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Each Borrowers agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.13. Nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Borrowers or with respect to any of the Collateral in any state or federal court in any other jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding by Borrowers against Lender shall be brought only in a court located in Dallas County, Texas.

Section 12.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision held to be invalid or illegal.

Section 12.17. Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.18. Non‑Application of Section 346 of Texas Finance Code. The provisions of Section 346 of the Texas Finance Code are specifically declared by the parties hereto not to be applicable to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to the transactions contemplated hereby.

-24-

Section 12.19. Assignment Participations. Lender shall have the right at any time to sell and assign all of its interests in the Notes and the other loan documents; provided, in the absence of an Event of Default, Lender shall obtain the prior written consent of Borrowers to any such sale or assignment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Lender shall also have the right at any time and from time to time to grant participations in the Notes and any other Loan Documents; provided, however, that Lender shall maintain a majority voting interest in any outstanding interests in the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Each actual or proposed participant shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender regarding the creditworthiness of Borrower, including, without limitation, information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency (whether the actual or proposed participant is subject to the circular or not).

Section 12.20. Construction. Borrowers and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrowers and Lender.

Section 12.21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWERS AND GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
