In this Agreement, the terms "security entitlement," "financial asset" and "investment property" have the meanings used in the Texas Business and Commerce Code.

 

2.     OBLIGATIONS SECURED. The obligations secured by this Agreement are the payment and performance of: (a) all present and future Indebtedness under, relating to, or in connection with, that certain Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the amount of $1,306,000.00 dated September 30, 2019 of SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (each and collectively being the "Obligor") to Bank and all extensions, renewals or modifications thereof, and restatements or substitutions therefor; and (b) all obligations of Debtor to Bank under this Agreement.

Bank may, at its sole discretion and at any time upon written notice to Debtor, release Bank's security interest in any WF Securities in the Collateral or Proceeds and exclude WF Securities from the determination of value requirements to which the Collateral is subject under this Agreement.

not be used to satisfy value requirements unless and until they have been owned by Debtor for a period greater than thirty (30) days. Whenever applicable, the credit limits of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board (12 U.S.C. § 221 et seq) shall also be satisfied as prescribed therein. Collateral satisfying value requirements in this Agreement cannot also satisfy other value requirements in favor of Bank, if any.

 

4.2     Maintenance of Value. Whenever value requirements in this Agreement are not met Debtor shall, within three (3) business days, take all remedial action necessary to restore the required value. Remedial action may include the following in any combination or amount: (a) delivery of additional Collateral acceptable to Bank; (b) substitution of assets providing little or no support to value requirements for assets providing greater support; (c) payoff of the Indebtedness (or if applicable, reduction thereof); or (d) conversion of assets to cash. Bank has no duty to act to: (a) prevent any decline in market value of Collateral or Proceeds; (b) preserve any Debtor rights against prior parties relating to Collateral or Proceeds; or (c) assure that Proceeds of any Collateral are deposited into interest bearing account(s).

 

4.3     Breach of Value Requirements. Bank is not obligated to permit an advance when value requirements are not met or if permitted would not then be met. Failure to timely meet value requirements is an Event of Default, and allows Bank, in its sole option, to accelerate the Indebtedness and exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

 

4.4     Excess Collateral. Unless an Event of Default occurs, Collateral in excess of the value requirements is available for withdrawal at Debtor's request to Bank, free and clear of its lien. Debtor will provide reasonable time, information and cooperation for Debtor withdrawal requests. No Intermediary is authorized to release Collateral, or allow excess Collateral withdrawals, without written consent of an authorized employee of Bank's applicable credit department.

 

4.5     Trading of Collateral Permitted. Unless j:)n Event of Default occurs, and provided all value requirements would continue to be met, Debtor, or any party authorized by Debtor to act with respect to the Collateral, may receive payments of interest and/or cash dividends earned on the Collateral in the Securities Account, and may trade Collateral in the Securities Account. Except as provided in this Agreement, Bank is not obligated to permit any withdrawal or distribution of Collateral or Proceeds,

 

4.6     Rule 144/145 Collateral. For so long as any of the Collateral may be subject to Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144 or Rule 145, Debtor will not sell or otherwise transfer shares of securities of the issuer of such Collateral (whether or not such shares are Collateral) without Bank's prior written consent, which consent shall be given in Bank's sole discretion.

 

4.7     Hedge Fund Collateral . Hedge fund interests credited, maintained or recorded in the Securities Account (each and collectively a "Hedge Fund") are Collateral under this Agreement even if the issuer's books and records may not reflect Bank's lien and even if Bank has not agreed the Hedge Fund contributes to value requirements in this Agreement.

 

4.8     Determination of Value; Collateral Eligibility; Definitions. Collateral subject to assignment, pledge or similar consent requirements of a third party is not eligible to satisfy value requirements in this Agreement until the required consent is furnished to Bank in writing.

Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Debtor shall have no right of subrogation, and Debtor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Bank now has or may hereafter have against any of the Obligors or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Bank. Debtor further waives all rights and defenses Debtor may have arising out of (i) any election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Indebtedness, destroys Debtor's rights of subrogation or Debtor's rights to proceed against any of the Obligors for reimbursement, or (ii) any loss of rights Debtor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any of the Obligors in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging Obligors' Indebtedness, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights Debtor may have to a FMV hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Indebtedness.

11.     AUTHORIZATIONS TO BANK. Each of Debtor who is not an Obligor authorizes Bank either before or after revocation hereof, without notice to or demand on such Debtor, and without affecting such Debtor's liability under this Agreement, from time to time to: (a) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for

("ESIGN Act")). An "Electronic Signature" (as defined in ESIGN) will constitute an original and binding signature of Bank and Debtor. The fact that a document is in the form of an Electronic Record and/or is signed using an Electronic Signature will not, in and of itself, be grounds for invalidating such document. When information (such as a disclosure, notice, permission, waiver, demand or amendment) is to be provided in writing under this Agreement, that writing may be provided by electronic means and in an electronic format.

 

This election for electronic communications and signatures is subject to the following conditions: (a) the prior consent of Debtor, and if Debtor is a "Consumer" (as defined by ESIGN Act) such consent must be obtained in accordance with the ESIGN Act, (b) the prior consent of Bank and (c) utilization of an electronic transmission process with audit, security and authentication controls satisfactory to Bank.

Exhibit 10.11

 

	WELLS FARGO	AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTINUING GUARANTY

 

TO: WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

 

This Guaranty amends, modifies, restates and replaces, but does not satisfy nor act as a novation of the obligations under, relating to, or in connection with, that certain Amended and Restated Continuing Guaranty dated as of August 31, 2018 executed and delivered by Guarantor hereunder in favor of Bank.

 

1.     GUARANTY; DEFINITIONS. In consideration of any credit or other financial accommodation heretofore, now or hereafter extended or made to SPINE INJURY SOLUTIONS, INC. ("Borrowers"), or any of them, by WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank"), and for other valuable consideration, the undersigned PETER L. DALRYMPLE ("Guarantor"), jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Bank or order, on demand in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, any and all Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers to Bank. The term "Indebtedness" is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of Borrowers, or any of them, heretofore, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, including under any swap, derivative, foreign exchange, hedge, deposit, treasury management or other similar transaction or arrangement, and whether Borrowers may be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon such Indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not collection.

 

2.     MAXIMUM LIABILITY; SUCCESSIVE TRANSACTIONS; REVOCATION; OBLIGATION UNDER OTHER GUARANTIES. This is a continuing guaranty and all rights, powers and remedies hereunder shall apply to all past, present and future Indebtedness of each of the Borrowers to Bank, including that arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Indebtedness, increase or decrease it, or from time to time create new Indebtedness after all or any prior Indebtedness has been satisfied, and notwithstanding the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of any of the Borrowers or Guarantor or any other event or proceeding affecting any of the Borrowers or Guarantor. This Guaranty shall not apply to any new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by Bank of written notice of its revocation as to such new Indebtedness; provided however, that loans or advances made by Bank to any of the Borrowers after revocation under commitments existing prior to receipt by Bank of such revocation, and extensions, renewals or modifications, of any kind, of Indebtedness incurred by any of the Borrowers or committed by Bank prior to receipt by Bank of such revocation, shall not be considered new Indebtedness. Any such notice must be sent to Bank by registered U.S. mail, postage prepaid, addressed to its office at Private Banking - Houston, 1000 Louisiana St 7th Floor, Houston, TX 77002, or at such other address as Bank shall from time to time designate. Any payment by Guarantor with respect to the Indebtedness shall not reduce Guarantor's maximum obligation hereunder unless written notice to that effect is actually received by Bank at or prior to the time of such payment. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be in addition to any obligations of Guarantor under any other guaranties of any liabilities or obligations of any of the Borrowers or any other persons heretofore or hereafter given to Bank unless said other guaranties are expressly modified or revoked in writing; and this Guaranty shall not, unless expressly herein provided, affect or invalidate any such other guaranties.

 

3.     OBLIGATIONS JOINT AND SEVERAL; SEPARATE ACTIONS; WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; REINSTATEMENT OF LIABILITY. The obligations hereunder are joint and several and independent of the obligations of Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against any of the Borrowers or any other person, or whether any of the Borrowers or any other person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty is absolute and unconditional there are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty, and this Guaranty is in full force and effect and is binding on Guarantor as of the date written below, regardless of whether Bank obtains collateral or any guaranties from others or takes any other action contemplated by Guarantor. Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and Guarantor agrees that any payment of any Indebtedness or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of Bank shall continue if and to the extent that for any reason any amount at any time paid on account of any Indebtedness guaranteed hereby is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Bank, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise,

all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any amount so paid must be rescinded or restored shall be made by Bank in its sole discretion; provided however, that if Bank chooses to contest any such matter at the request of Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expended or incurred by Bank in connection therewith, including without limitation, in any litigation with respect thereto.

 

4.     AUTHORIZATIONS TO BANK. Guarantor authorizes Bank either before or after revocation hereof], without notice to or demand on, or consent of Guarantor, and without affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time to: (a) alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) do any and all of the following with respect to any document or instrument now or hereafter entered into with respect to the Indebtedness or otherwise evidencing any portion of the Indebtedness (collectively, the "Loan Documents"): (i) amend, amend and restate, supplement, replace, or otherwise modify any Loan document; (ii) waive compliance with any provision of any Loan Document on any number of occasions; (iii) consent to departure from any provision of any Loan Document on any number of occasions; and/or (iv) forbear from exercising any rights of remedies of Bank in connection with a breach of any provision of any Loan Document for any duration of time and on any number of occasions; (c) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate or release any such security; (d) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, including without limitation, a non-judicial sale permitted by the terms of the controlling security agreement, mortgage or deed of trust, as Bank in its discretion may determine; (e) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or any other guarantors of the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, or any other party thereto; and (f) apply payments received by Bank from any of the Borrowers to any Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers to Bank, in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion, whether or not such Indebtedness is covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law regarding application of payments which specifies otherwise. Bank may without notice assign this Guaranty in whole or in part. Upon Bank's request, Guarantor agrees to provide to Bank copies of Guarantor's financial statements.

 

5.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor represents and warrants to Bank that: (a) this Guaranty is executed at Borrowers' request; (b) Guarantor shall not, without Bank's prior written consent, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial or material part of Guarantor's assets other than in the ordinary course of Guarantor's business, nor accomplish any of the above by virtue of a division or similar transaction; (c) Bank has made no representation to Guarantor as to the creditworthiness of any of the Borrowers; and (d) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each of the Borrowers on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to Borrowers' financial condition.

6.     GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS.

 

6.1     Guarantor waives any right to require Bank to: (a) proceed against any of the Borrowers or any other person; (b) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security held from any of the Borrowers or any other person; (c) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale or other disposition of personal property security held from any of the Borrowers or any other person; (d) take any action or pursue any other remedy in Bank's power; or (e) make any presentment or demand for performance, or give any notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by Bank as security for or which constitute in whole or in part the Indebtedness guaranteed hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional Indebtedness.

 

6.2     Guarantor waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (a) any disability or other defense of any of the Borrowers or any other person; (b) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers or any other person; (c) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of the Borrowers which is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any such

Borrower; (d) the application by any of the Borrowers of the proceeds of any Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrowers to, or intended or understood by, Bank or Guarantor; (e) any act or omission by Bank which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any of the Borrowers or any portion of the Indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of Bank against any of the Borrowers; (f) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, and/or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (g) any modification of the Indebtedness, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any indebtedness incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the Indebtedness or any portion thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; or (h) any requirement that Bank give any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which Bank now has or may hereafter have against any of the Borrowers or any other person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Bank. Guarantor further waives all rights and defenses Guarantor may have arising out of (i) any election of remedies by Bank, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Indebtedness, destroys Guarantor's rights of subrogation or Guarantor's rights to proceed against any of the Borrowers for reimbursement, or (ii) any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any of the Borrowers in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging Borrowers' Indebtedness, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights Guarantor may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Indebtedness.

 

7.     BANK'S RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO GUARANTOR'S PROPERTY IN BANK'S POSSESSION. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the monies, securities or other property of Guarantor given to Bank by law, Bank shall have a lien upon and a right of setoff against all monies, securities and other property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with Bank, whether held in a general or special account or deposit or for safekeeping or otherwise, and every such lien and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to Guarantor. No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Bank, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing, and every right of setoff and lien shall continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or released by Bank in writing.

 

8.     SUBORDINATION. Any Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Indebtedness of Borrowers to Bank. Such Indebtedness of Borrowers to Guarantor is assigned to Bank as security for this Guaranty and the Indebtedness and, if Bank requests, shall be collected and received by Guarantor as trustee for Bank and paid over to Bank on account of the Indebtedness of Borrowers to Bank but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Any notes or other instruments now or hereafter evidencing such Indebtedness of any of the Borrowers to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and, if Bank so requests, shall be delivered to Bank. Bank is hereby authorized in the name of Guarantor from time to time to file financing statements and continuation statements and execute such other documents and take such other action as Bank deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights hereunder.

 

9.     REMEDIES; NO WAIVER. All rights, powers and remedies of Bank hereunder are cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by bank of any breach of this Guaranty, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing.

 

10.     COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. Guarantor shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of Bank's in-house counsel), expended or incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of any of Bank's rights, powers or remedies and/or the collection of any amounts which become

due to Bank under this Guaranty, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Guaranty, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Guarantor or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, reasonable attorneys' fees shall not exceed the amount permitted by law, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Del. Code Ann. tit. 10, §3912 (2009). All of the foregoing shall be paid by Guarantor with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) or Bank's Prime Rate in effect from time to time.

 

11.     SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNMENT. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties; provided however, that Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its interests or rights hereunder without Bank's prior written consent. Guarantor acknowledges that Bank has the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, any Indebtedness of Borrowers to Bank and any obligations with respect thereto, including this Guaranty. In connection therewith, Bank may disclose all documents and information which Bank now has or hereafter acquires relating to Guarantor and/or this Guaranty, whether furnished by. Borrowers, Guarantor or otherwise. Guarantor further agrees that Bank may disclose such documents and information to Borrowers.

 

12.     AMENDMENT. This Guaranty may be amended or modified only in writing signed by Bank and Guarantor that states it is intended to amend or modify this Guaranty.

 

13.     APPLICATION OF SINGULAR AND PLURAL. In all cases where there is but a single Borrower, then all words used herein in the plural shall be deemed to have been used in the singular where the context and construction so require; and when there is more than one Borrower named herein, or when this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the word "Borrowers'' and the word "Guarantor" respectively shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires.

 

14.     UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS; SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth herein is made with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and that under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any waiver or other provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable public policy or law, such waiver or other provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such waiver or other provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

15.     COUNTERPARTS; GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required to reflect all parties assent; all counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

16.     ARBITRATION.

 

16.1     Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise, in any way arising out of or relating to this Guaranty and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude or limit the Bank's right to confess judgment pursuant to a warrant of attorney provision set forth in any document related to the Indebtedness; and provided, further, that no party shall have the right to demand binding arbitration of any claim, dispute or controversy seeking to (a) strike-off or open a judgment obtained by confession pursuant to a warrant of attorney contained in any document related to the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, this Agreement, or (b) challenge the waiver of a right to prior notice and a hearing before judgment is entered, or after judgment is entered, but before execution upon the judgment. In the event of a court ordered arbitration, the party requesting arbitration shall be responsible for timely filing the demand for arbitration and paying the appropriate filing fee within 30 days of the abatement order or the time specified by the court. Failure to timely file the demand for arbitration as ordered by the court will result in that party's right to demand arbitration being automatically terminated.

 

16.2     Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (a) proceed in a location in Delaware selected by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"); (b) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States

 

 

	
			GUARANTY.DE (03116)

			0007204, #7829235617

				1521303 / Page 4	 

 

 

 

 

Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (c) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA's commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA's optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the "Rules"). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

 

16.3     No Waiver of Provisional Remedies. Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (a) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (b) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (c) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding . This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph.

 

16.4     Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Delaware or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Delaware, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Delaware and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Delaware Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction . The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

 

16.5     Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

 

16.6     Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed this Guaranty or any other contract, instrument or document relating to any Indebtedness, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

 

16.7     Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

 

16.8     Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or regulation,

or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the documents between the parties or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the documents or any relationship between the parties.

 

16.9     Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court's jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys' fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

 

17.     WARRANT OF ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT. GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE PROTHONOTARY, ANY ATTORNEY OR ANY CLERK OF ANY COURT OF RECORD, FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR FOR SUCH SUMS AS ARE DUE AND/OR MAY BECOME DUE UNDER THIS GUARANTY, WITH OR WITHOUT DECLARATION, WITH COSTS OF SUIT, WITHOUT STAY OF EXECUTION AND WITH AN AMOUNT ADDED FOR ATTORNEYS' COLLECTION FEES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS GUARANTY TO THE CONTRARY, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PROVISIONS OF DEL. CODE ANN. TIT. 10, §3912 (2009). TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OTHER THAN MANIFEST ERROR, GUARANTOR RELEASES ALL ERRORS IN SUCH PROCEEDINGS. IF A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY, VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER OF THIS GUARANTY SHALL HAVE BEEN FILED IN SUCH ACTION, IT SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY TO FILE THE ORIGINAL GUARANTY AS A WARRANT OF ATTORNEY. THE AUTHORITY AND POWER TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY THE INITIAL EXERCISE THEREOF AND MAY BE EXERCISED AS OFTEN AS THE HOLDER SHALL FIND IT NECESSARY AND DESIRABLE AND THIS GUARANTY OR A COPY THEREOF SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT THEREFOR. THE HOLDER HEREOF MAY CONFESS ONE OR MORE JUDGMENTS IN THE SAME OR DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS FOR ALL OR ANY PART OF THE AMOUNT OWING HEREUNDER, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER JUDGMENT HAS THERETOFORE BEEN CONFESSED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION FOR THE SAME AMOUNT. IN THE EVENT ANY JUDGMENT CONFESSED AGAINST GUARANTOR HEREUNDER IS STRICKEN OR OPENED UPON APPLICATION BY OR ON GUARANTOR'S BEHALF FOR ANY REASON, THE HOLDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND EMPOWERED TO AGAIN APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST GUARANTOR FOR ANY PART OR ALL OF THE AMOUNTS OWING HEREUNDER, AS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, IF DOING SO WILL CURE ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS IN SUCH PRIOR PROCEEDINGS.

 

18.     ELECTION FOR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND SIGNATURES. To facilitate execution of this Guaranty, this Guaranty and each promissory note, contract, instrument and other document required by this Guaranty or at any time delivered to Bank in connection with the Indebtedness secured by this Guaranty, or as a condition to the execution of this Guaranty, may be executed by one or more of Guarantor or Bank in the form of an "Electronic Record" (as such term is defined in the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act at 15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq. ("ESIGN Act")). An "Electronic Signature" (as defined in ESIGN) will constitute an original and binding signature of Bank and Guarantor. The fact that a document is in the form of an Electronic Record and/or is signed using an Electronic Signature will not, in and of itself, be grounds for invalidating such document. When information (such as a disclosure, notice other than a notice to terminate this Guaranty, permission, waiver, demand or amendment) is to be provided in writing under this Guaranty, that writing may be provided by electronic means and in an electronic format.

 

This election for electronic communications and signatures is subject to the following conditions: (i) the prior consent of Guarantor, and if Guarantor is a "Consumer" (as defined by ESIGN Act) such consent must be obtained in accordance with the ESIGN Act, (ii) the prior consent of Bank and (iii) utilization of an electronic transmission process with audit, security and authentication controls satisfactory to Bank. Notwithstanding any election for electronic communication, Bank may always in its sole discretion provide to Guarantor or require from Guarantor information in writing in a paper format.

 

Any writing (whether on paper or in electronic format) prepared by Guarantor and delivered to Bank will be deemed materially true, correct and complete by Guarantor and each officer or employee of Guarantor who prepared and authenticated same, and may be legally relied upon by Bank without regard to the medium in which the record is maintained or the method of delivery or transmission.
