ISSUES PRESENTED ......................................................................................................xvi

STATEMENT OF FACTS ................................................................................................1

       I.       Introduction: overview of the conduct which led to the injunction........1

       II.      Ameripro’s creation of the Lakeway branch office, and
                the Individual Appellants’ fiduciary roles for Ameripro ........................4

       III.     The non-solicitation clauses and ownership
                provisions in the Ameripro contracts ......................................................4

                A.      Ameripro’s confidential information includes each
                        category outlined in the Temporary Injunction..............................5

                B.      Brohn, Clark Wilson, and Seaholm were Ameripro
                        customers under the contractual non-solicitation clauses..............5

                C.      Oak Mortgage’s actual knowledge of the contract provisions ......7

       IV.      The Individual Appellants admitted that they took Ameripro’s
                confidential information and provided it to Ameripro’s
                competitor. They began doing so months before they resigned ............7

                                                           iv
                A.      Appellants also downloaded and copied Ameripro’s
                        financial and customer data from its office and computers ...........8

                B.      The confidential information that Appellants took from
                        Ameripro enabled them to jumpstart a competing office ............12

       V.       Appellants began soliciting Ameripro’s customers for
                Oak Mortgage, even before the Individual Appellants
                had resigned from Ameripro..................................................................13

                A.      One month before the Individual Appellants resigned as
                        fiduciaries, Oak Mortgage agreed to indemnify them against
                        Ameripro, and told them they could solicit its customers ...........13

                B.      While they were Ameripro’s fiduciaries, the Individual
                        Appellants began soliciting Ameripro customers for a
                        competitor. Oak Mortgage sent “scripts” for them to use ..........14

       VI.      In addition to transmitting confidential data to Oak Mortgage
                before they resigned, the Individual Appellants removed over
                20,000 Ameripro files and kept them as agents of Oak Mortgage .......16

       VII. The Individual Appellants destroyed Ameripro documents,
            including its customer files, and destroyed files after the
            district court issued a TRO compelling their return..............................17

       VIII. Appellants’ successful disruption of Ameripro’s business...................19

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT .................................................................................... 20

ARGUMENT ...............................................................................................................22

       I.       The Temporary Injunction satisfies the requirements of Rule 683 ......22

                A.      The reasons stated in the Temporary Injunction, which
                        Appellants do not address or even mention in their brief ............22

                                                            v
      B.    The reasons stated in the Temporary Injunction go further
            than is required by Rule 683, as shown by multiple decisions ....23

      C.    The decisions cited by Appellants do not assist them.
            One such decision lists the language from this Temporary
            Injunction as examples that “comply with rule 683” ...................28

II.   Appellants’ own admissions establish that Ameripro’s builder
      clients are “customers” under the non-solicitation clauses...................30

      A.    Appellants make no attempt to address the testimony
            (including their own sworn admissions) that customers
            include borrowers and “builder customers”.................................30

      B.    The evidence regarding builder customers is
            consistent with the non-solicitation clause. .................................32

      C.    Appellants’ argument that the definition of “customers”
            should be construed against Ameripro conflicts with the
            contracts, which disclaim that either party is sole drafter............34

 III. Injunctive relief was also independently warranted because
      Appellants were barred from soliciting Ameripro customers
      for a competitor in breach of fiduciary duties, separate and
      apart from their breaches of contract and misappropriation .................35

      A.    Appellants did not merely take the names of builder customers.
            They took pricing, lender credit data, compilations of builder
            preferences, and multiple other data from computers .................36

      B.    Appellants’ solicitation of Ameripro customers and use of
            confidential information for that purpose, even while the
            Individual Appellants were still Ameripro’s fiduciaries..............37

      C.    Even if Appellants supposedly could have publicly obtained
            some of the data they took from Ameripro computers, they
            tortiously downloaded Ameripro’s work product........................40

                                        vi
        IV. Appellants’ argument that they had returned all confidential
            information of Ameripro prior to the hearing is also false ...................42

                 A.       Appellants did not return all confidential information,
                          they violated the TRO, and they specifically stripped out
                          system metadata from the documents they did provide ...............43

                 B.       Appellants destroyed documents even after
                          a TRO commanded their return....................................................44

                 C.       The fact that a competitor misappropriated confidential
                          information at all also supports issuing the injunction ................45

                 D.       Appellants used Ameripro’s confidential information,
                          but taking such data was also wrongful misappropriation...........46

        V.       The district court correctly found that Ameripro does not
                 have an adequate legal remedy..............................................................47

                 A.       The district court found Ameripro has a likelihood of
                          success on multiple tort theories for which injunction
                          is the only effective relief, not just breach of contract.................49

                 B.       Even in pure contract cases, findings of inadequate remedy
                          will be upheld where, as here, some evidence supports it ...........50

                 C.       Injunctive relief is consistent with Ameripro’s
                          claim for damages for Appellants’ past conduct .........................51

                 D.       Appellants’ argument, in addition to being baseless, is
                          outside the hearing record and should be disregarded.................53

        VI. The Temporary Injunction is not overly broad, and instead is
            narrowly tailored to protect against imminent irreparable harm ..........54

                           STATEMENT OF THE CASE

      This is an interlocutory appeal from a Temporary Injunction that the district

court issued in favor of Appellee, Ameripro, on June 16, 2015. CR 223-27.

      Ameripro filed an application for injunctive relief and counterclaim against

Appellants on April 1, 2015, for misappropriation, conversion, breach of fiduciary

duty (and aiding and abetting those breaches), breach of contract (and tortious

interference with contract), and conspiracy. CR 44-68. The district court granted

a Temporary Restraining Order against Appellants on May 11, 2015. CR 95-98.

      The district court conducted a two-day evidentiary hearing on Ameripro’s

application for temporary injunction on May 26-27, 2015. At the conclusion of

the hearing, the district court orally granted Ameripro’s application and dictated

the parameters of the injunction. 3RR 208-14. The parties submitted forms of

order. CR 160-81; CR 182-202; CR 207-22. The court entered a Temporary

Injunction Order in favor of Ameripro on June 16, 2015, and entered a separate

order denying Appellants’ application for a temporary restraining order. CR 223-

27; CR 228-29.

                                       xiv
                   STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
                     (ORAL ARGUMENT NOT NECESSARY)

      Appellee believes that the record clearly shows that the district court did not

abuse its discretion in entering the temporary injunction at issue, and that oral

argument is not necessary. The district court heard two days of evidence and had

full briefing, and as cited below, ample evidence supports its issuance of the

injunction. If the Court of Appeals grants oral argument, Appellee does not waive

argument, but will appear and argue for affirmance.

                                         xv
                                ISSUES PRESENTED

      1.     Does the Temporary Injunction’s list of reasons why there is
imminent and irreparable injury — including Appellants’ attempts “to permanently
destroy Ameripro documents,” their misappropriation of “confidential and
proprietary information” from “Ameripro’s computer network and premises,” their
commission of breach of contract and multiple torts, and the multiple findings of
inadequacy and difficulty of quantifying damages — satisfy Rule 683
requirements, and does the evidence support those findings?

      2.     Did the district court correctly determine that builders are
“customers” of Ameripro under the contracts with Ameripro, in light of the
evidence of Appellants’ admissions, Ameripro’s testimony, and the text of the
contracts, and does evidence of Appellants’ breach of fiduciary duty serve as an
independent basis for the injunction?

      3.    Are the Temporary Injunction’s findings that Appellants
misappropriated confidential information “stored on Ameripro’s computer
network,” including “customer and referral lists and contact information,” “pricing
information,” compilations of “builder preferences,” “general ledgers,” and other
customer and financial data, supported by the evidence?

      4.     Did the district court properly issue a Temporary Injunction despite
Appellants’ claim that they returned the confidential records prior to the hearing,
in light of the evidence that they stripped out metadata from the copies of
documents they returned, destroyed Ameripro client files after the TRO had
issued, and their admissions that they still retained Ameripro records?

       5.   Is there evidence to support the Temporary Injunction’s findings that
Ameripro “does not have a legal remedy that is adequate,” that the full extent of its
injury would “be very difficult to ascertain or quantify,” that an award of damages
“would not fully or adequately compensate Ameripro,” and its related findings?

      6.     Did the district court abuse its discretion in tailoring the terms of the
injunction to track the threat of imminent and irreparable injury to Ameripro?

                                         xvi
                              STATEMENT OF FACTS

I.    Introduction: overview of the conduct which led to the injunction.

      Appellee Ameripro Funding, Inc. (“Ameripro”) is an Austin-based

residential mortgage lender. 2RR 41-42, 44. By the nature of its lending business,

Ameripro receives borrower loan applications, social security numbers, credit

reports, and other confidential consumer information, the privacy of which is

statutorily protected. 2RR 86, 143-45, 160-61, 169-72; 3RR 30, 39.

      Appellants Michael H. Nasserfar, Michael E. Task, and Tycord R. Gosnay

(the “Individual Appellants”) are former agents and employees who worked at

Ameripro’s branch office in Lakeway, Texas. 2RR 45. Each of the Individual

Appellants owed formal fiduciary duties to Ameripro during his employment with

the company, including a duty of loyalty. 2RR 182-83, 194; 3RR 38-39, 58.

      On January 15-16, 2015, the Individual Appellants resigned from Ameripro

without prior notice. 2RR 52-54, 154; AX 2-4. The following Monday, they

opened a new branch office for Ameripro’s competitor, Appellant Oak Mortgage,

in the same office complex. 2RR 60-61, 154; 3RR 31-32.

      Ameripro subsequently discovered that the Individual Appellants had been

secretly transmitting copies of its confidential records to Oak Mortgage, beginning

over two months before they resigned (during a time when they were still

fiduciaries for Ameripro). E.g., 3RR 44-46 & AX 27. Oak Mortgage actively

                                        1
solicited that information from the Individual Appellants, and scanned and

downloaded copies of Ameripro reports onto Oak Mortgage’s own computer

network. 3RR 44-46, 127-28; 2RR 88-94; AX 27; AX 70 at 890-93.1

       The Individual Appellants also secretly downloaded and printed Ameripro’s

confidential customer and financial records, and personnel files of other Ameripro

employees, without Ameripro’s (or the customers’ or other employees’)

knowledge or authorization. 2RR 154-60, 170-75, 178, 184; 3RR 45-46, 127-28.2

The Individual Appellants admitted that the Ameripro records were confidential,

that they gave copies of those confidential records to Ameripro’s competitor, Oak

Mortgage, and that they continued to keep copies of all those records once they

 1
    See, e.g., 3RR 45-46 (“Q. Exhibit 27 is an example of AmeriPro’s competitor asking you for
confidential information without AmeriPro’s knowledge, correct? A. Correct. They asked for
information in that e-mail. … Q. You did give him a copy of a profitability report, didn’t you?
A. I don’t remember the exact title of the report, but I gave him the report,” adding that at a
November 17, 2014 meeting “I did give him the report.”); 3RR 46 (Nasserfar provided the report
“in direct response to Oak Mortgage asking you for the profit and loss statement of AmeriPro”);
3RR 39-41 (“Question, Line 9: ‘And earlier we talked about this, and you testified that a general
ledger would be confidential; is that correct?’ Answer: ‘A general ledger would be confidential
information.’ … Question: ‘So your testimony is that either you or Mr. Task provided Exhibit
12 [AX 28], which is the general ledger by branch to Oak Mortgage?’ Answer: ‘Correct.’”).
 2
    See, e.g., 2RR 156-57 (“Q. You didn’t ask anyone’s permission at AmeriPro to take this
information home with you, did you? A. I did not. … Q. The day before – the day before you
resigned from AmeriPro, you filled a bankers box with these monthly general ledgers and several
other Ameripro financial records to take with you, correct? A. I made copies. … Q. And you
had copies of personnel records of other employees of AmeriPro at your house even after you
resigned from the company, correct? A. I had copies, correct.”); 2RR 174-75 (downloaded
Ameripro’s confidential financial records “off of AmeriPro’s computer network that you had to
access through a password”); 2RR 184 (“Q. You never once asked any of the consumers, whose
information you took home with you, you didn’t ask any of them for permission to take their
financial nonpublic data home with you, did you? A. I did not.”).

                                               2
became officers and agents of Oak Mortgage. 2RR 163-71, 174-75, 177-78, 183-

84; 3RR 39-41; see also 2RR 80-81.3 At the hearing, Appellants’ counsel told the

district court that Appellants “returned over 20,000 – I think it’s over 20,000

electronic files” to Ameripro on April 27, 2015 alone. 2RR 22.

       In addition to taking customer data from Ameripro’s computers, the

Individual Appellants also began secretly soliciting customers on behalf of Oak

Mortgage, despite their fiduciary relationships and non-solicitation agreements

with Ameripro. One month before they resigned, Oak Mortgage instructed them

that they could “solicit to your book of business and your builder/realtor

relationships” and “solicit to your past customer database.” 2RR 191-93; AX 56.

They proceeded to do so. In December 2014, for example, Nasserfar reported to

Oak Mortgage that he was driving almost 200 miles to contact all Ameripro

builder customers — even though he was still serving as a Branch Manager and

fiduciary for Ameripro at that same time. 3RR 58; AX 63.4

 3
    See, e.g., 3RR 127-28 (“Q. You gave copies of that bankers box full of financial information
from AmeriPro to Mr. Gosnay to scan at Oak Mortgage’s offices, correct? A. We scanned them,
correct.”); 2RR 155-56 (“Question: ‘And you knew you still had those AmeriPro financial
records, those confidential records, ever since you’ve resigned, correct? It’s not something you
just forgot you had?’ Answer: ‘No, I had not forgotten.’”).
 4
    3RR 58 (“Q. And you told Oak Mortgage, the competitor of the company you were working
for, that you had driven almost 200 miles and were dropping in on all builder contacts, correct?
A. Correct. Q. You were still under a duty of loyalty to AmeriPro at that time, correct? A. Yes,
sir.”).

                                               3
II.    Ameripro’s creation of the Lakeway branch office, and the Individual
       Appellants’ fiduciary roles for Ameripro.

       Ameripro was founded as a residential mortgage lending company in 2003,

headquartered in Austin. 2RR 41-42.

       At the request of Michael Nasserfar, Ameripro created a branch office in

Lakeway, Texas, in 2014. 2RR 46-47. Ameripro promoted Nasserfar to be its

Branch Manager at that location.       2RR 47.     Michael Task served as Sales

Manager, and Tycord Gosnay served as a Loan Officer and agent, at the same

location.    2RR 45.    The Individual Appellants were Ameripro’s only three

employees at its Lakeway office. 2RR 45.

III.   The non-solicitation clauses and ownership provisions in the Ameripro
       contracts.

       As a condition to their employment, and before they could receive access to

any of Ameripro’s confidential information, the Individual Appellants were

required to sign employment and confidentiality agreements with Ameripro. 2RR

63, 77. The Individual Appellants contractually agreed:

       (a)   that Ameripro is the exclusive owner of all information they created

             or to which they were given access during their employment,

       (b)   that they would protect the confidentiality of all such information,

             and would not use or disclose it except to perform their duties, and

       (c)   that upon their termination, they would return all such information to

                                         4
            Ameripro, and would not retain any portions for any purpose.

AX 7-11, 13-19, 21-24.

      A.    Ameripro’s confidential information includes each category
            outlined in the Temporary Injunction.

      After the Individual Appellants signed their employment contracts,

Ameripro gave them access to confidential information, including the records

listed in the Temporary Injunction. 2RR 66-67, 70-71, 80-82, 88-94, 142-43, 183-

84.   That information would give others a competitive advantage if used or

disclosed, and Ameripro had multiple security systems in place to protect its

secrecy, including consumer data. 2RR 66-68, 70-71, 81-82, 89-91, 99, 143.

      Ameripro never gave them permission to take or disclose any of its

information, let alone to a competitor. 2RR 81-82, 88-89, 92-94.

      B.    Brohn, Clark Wilson, and Seaholm were Ameripro’s customers
            under the contractual non-solicitation clauses.

      Although Appellants argue that “customers” under the Ameripro contracts

does not include builders, Nasserfar admitted that part of his job at Ameripro was

to build goodwill with Ameripro’s “builder customers,” and stated that Ameripro

was the “exclusive lender” for Brohn and Clark Wilson. 3RR 50-53; AX 67.

Likewise, Task understood that Ameripro’s “customers” as used in the contracts

he signed included its builders and other referral sources, whom he was

contractually barred from soliciting, and admitted that Ameripro’s “clients”

                                        5
included builders. 2RR 185-86; AX 55. Nasserfar admitted that he developed a

“builder centric model” for Ameripro. 3RR 48-50; AX 75.

      Builders Brohn Homes, Clark Wilson Builders, and Seaholm Residences, in

particular, were customers of Ameripro. 2RR 50, 69-70, 100-02; 3RR 51-52, 67-

68.5 Nasserfar and Task did not have a customer relationship with them until after

they were employed at Ameripro. 2RR 100-02, 201; 3RR 67-68, 177-78. Prior to

when Nasserfar and Task resigned from Ameripro, neither did Oak Mortgage.

2RR 52.

      Nasserfar and Task contractually agreed that for one year following their

termination, they would not solicit similar business from “any customer” who was

doing business with Ameripro as of his termination, or “otherwise knowingly

interfere with the business of the Company.” AX 11, AX 17.

      Each of the Individual Appellants also contractually agreed that “all leads

and loans in process are Company’s property,” they would not take any action to

divert loan business “to a competitor or away from Company,” and they would

provide Ameripro a “written account of any and all open leads, business prospects,

and/or loans in process as of the date” of his termination. AX 11; AX 17-18.

 5
   E.g., 2RR 100-102 (Brohn became a “customer of Ameripro,” and identifying Seaholm as a
customer); 3RR 51-52 (Nasserfar admits Ameripro was the lender for Clark Wilson and Brohn
Homes); 2RR 50 (Ameripro’s business relationship with “builders or other corporate
customers”).

                                           6
      C.    Oak Mortgage’s actual knowledge of the contract provisions.

      At least as early as December 10, 2014 (more than one month before the

Individual Appellants resigned from Ameripro), they gave Oak Mortgage copies

of their employment agreements with Ameripro, which Oak Mortgage reviewed.

AX 56. Oak Mortgage consequently had actual knowledge of the confidentiality,

exclusive ownership, and non-solicitation provisions in the Ameripro contracts.

IV.   The Individual Appellants admitted that they took Ameripro’s
      confidential information and provided it to Ameripro’s competitor.
      They began doing so months before they resigned.

      Oak Mortgage is a direct competitor of Ameripro. 2RR 60. Prior to 2015, it

did not have an office in the Austin area. 3RR 32-33; 2RR 60. In September

2014, Nasserfar began negotiating with Oak Mortgage about becoming its branch

manager at the same location where he managed Ameripro’s branch. 3RR 43.

      More than two months before the three Ameripro fiduciaries resigned,

Nasserfar began funneling copies of Ameripro’s confidential information to Oak

Mortgage. On November 12, 2014, for example, Oak Mortgage’s Senior Vice

President e-mailed Nasserfar that Oak Mortgage “will need some more

information from you,” including Ameripro’s product mix and detailed

breakdowns, “compensation” of other Ameripro employees, copies of Ameripro’s

2013 and 2014 profit and loss statements (so Oak Mortgage would know the

“monthly expenses”), and Ameripro “Pricing” on deals so Oak Mortgage could

                                        7
“compare it to our pricing.” AX 27; 3RR 44-45.

          Nasserfar admitted that “AmeriPro’s competitor [was] asking you for

confidential information without AmeriPro’s knowledge,” and that he provided it

to Oak Mortgage. 3RR 45-46; AX 70 at 890-93. At least one month before they

resigned as fiduciaries, the Individual Appellants also transmitted an electronic

copy of Ameripro’s Loan Profitability Report to Oak Mortgage, listing Ameripro’s

revenues and margins for every loan at its Lakeway branch, together with

consumer names and account numbers. Oak Mortgage then analyzed the report

for several hours on December 17, 2014. AX 49-50; 2RR 230-32.

          A.      Appellants also downloaded and copied Ameripro’s financial and
                  customer data from its office and computers.

          In the month before they resigned, the Individual Appellants also removed

electronic and paper copies of virtually every category of confidential financial

and customer information from Ameripro’s Lakeway office. Testimony at the

hearing established:

     i)        The day before they resigned, Task filled a bankers box full of Ameripro

               financial records for the past year. He and Gosnay scanned them at Oak

               Mortgage’s offices.   2RR 156-57; 3RR 127-28.6 Task admitted his

 6
  2RR 156-57 (Task “filled a bankers box with these monthly general ledgers and several other
Ameripro financial records to take with you.”); 3RR 127-28 (“Q. You have copies of that

                                             8
            contracts barred him from taking the records, but he took them anyway,

            without Ameripro’s knowledge. 2RR 158-59, 166-67, 174.

     ii)    Nasserfar likewise downloaded Ameripro confidential documents onto a

            USB device, and kept it when he became Oak Mortgage’s Vice

            President. 2RR 178.

     iii)   Appellants also downloaded confidential profit and loss reports from

            Ameripro’s computer network. 2RR 177-78.7

     iv)    Appellants took electronic and hard copies of Ameripro’s monthly

            general ledgers for 2014, admitted that the ledgers were Ameripro’s

            confidential information, and admitted that they gave the ledgers to Oak

            Mortgage.      2RR 156-57, 164-65; 3RR 42.8                  Oak Mortgage even

            produced copies in discovery. AX 28; PX 6.

     v)     Task and Nasserfar “intentionally” took lists of Ameripro borrowers

            (including their social security numbers) when they resigned from

bankers box full of financial information from AmeriPro to Mr. Gosnay to scan at Oak
Mortgage’s offices, correct? A. We scanned them, correct.”).
 7
   2RR 177-78 (“Q. The day before you resigned from AmeriPro, you also took copies of its
profit and loss reports off the computer system, correct? A. Correct,” but he is not sure of date).
 8
    2RR 156-57 (they took Ameripro’s “monthly general ledgers”); 3RR 42 (“Q. And you
answered ‘correct’ when she asked you if you or Mr. Task gave it [AX 28] to Oak Mortgage,
correct? A. Correct.”); 2RR 164-65 (“Q. And then the question: ‘This is information you
obtained electronically on AmeriPro’s computer network, correct?’ Answer: ‘Correct.’ …
Question: ‘And you understood then that it was AmeriPro’s confidential information that you
have in these general[] ledgers, correct?’ Answer: “I would agree.’”).

                                                9
            Ameripro.     Task admitted that they obtained those records from

            Ameripro’s secure network, and that federal regulations barred them

            from doing so. 2RR 160-61, 167-72; 12 C.F.R. § 1016, et seq.9 They

            also failed to obtain permission from any of the borrowers before

            removing their private financial information from Ameripro. 2RR 184.10

      vi)   Appellants downloaded still other borrower information onto a thumb

            drive, including nonpublic lists of loans that had not closed yet, and

            admitted that federal regulation barred that conduct. 2RR 170-71.11

            Nasserfar sent a similar “pipeline” report of unclosed Ameripro loans to

 9
    2RR 160-61 (“Q. Now, both you and Mr. Nasserfar intentionally took list of AmeriPro
borrowers including their loan numbers and other financial information with you when you
resigned from AmeriPro, correct? A. Correct.”); 2RR 168-69 (“Q. You understood that the
social security number of a borrower of AmeriPro is confidential information, didn’t you? A. I
understand that. Q. And you understand that federal regulations prohibits you from taking that
information, don’t you? A. I do now, yes, sir.”); 2RR 171-72 (“Q. All of the information you
took when you resigned relating to AmeriPro borrowers was information you obtained off of
AmeriPro’s computer system, correct? A. Correct. Q. You didn’t obtain any of that information
from public sources, did you? A. No. … Q. Under Regulation P, you derived that information
from something a borrower submitted to the lender. You’re not allowed to take that. It’s
protected too. Do you understand that? A. I do now. … Q. You took it all off of AmeriPro’s
protected website and computer network, correct? A. From their network.”).
 10
   2RR 184 (“Q. You never once asked any of the consumers, whose information you took
home with you, you didn’t ask any of them for permission to take their financial nonpublic data
home with you, did you? A. I did not.”).
 11
     2RR 170-71 (“Q. And the day before you resigned from AmeriPro, you also, in addition to
this bankers box, downloaded on a thumb drive information about a AmeriPro borrowers and
loans that hadn’t even closed yet, correct? A. Correct. … Q. And you understand that under
Regulation P that’s nonpublic private financial information of those borrowers that you had in
your possession, correct? A. I had it in my possession. Q. And you took it home too, correct?
A. Correct.”). As quoted above, they scanned the entire box of records at Oak Mortgage.

            Oak Mortgage, also in violation of federal regulations. 2RR 85-86.

      vii) Appellants took Ameripro’s Funded Loan Report for 2014, which

            included the names of each consumer whose loan was processed through

            Ameripro’s Lakeway branch, their account numbers, and the fees they

            paid, in violation of federal regulations. 2RR 92-93.12 Oak Mortgage

            produced a copy in discovery. AX 30; PX 7; 2RR 92.

      viii) The Individual Appellants printed and gave Oak Mortgage a copy of

            Ameripro’s Statement of Income reports for 2014.               Oak Mortgage

            produced copies in discovery. AX 29; AX 33-34; PX 5; 2RR 91-92.

      ix)   Task took copies of Ameripro’s internal pro forma reports, outlining

            Ameripro’s future plans for the Lakeway office. 2RR 183-84.

      x)    On January 13, 2015 (the day before he resigned, and while still a

            fiduciary), Gosnay downloaded and e-mailed to his personal gmail

            account a copy of Ameripro’s computer compilation of contact

            information and loan preferences for three Ameripro builder customers,

            including Brohn Homes and Clark Wilson Builders, their fees and tax

            rates (broken down by community), working capital, and closing

 12
    2RR 92-93 (“Q. So is it your understanding these [AX 28-30] were produced in discovery by
Oak Mortgage? A. Yes. Q. Okay. Any reason – any legitimate reason why Oak Mortgage
should have these exhibits like Exhibit 30? A. No.” It included borrower names, “all the

                                             11
            preferences, requirements, and nonpublic lender credit arrangements

            Ameripro made with those customers. He also downloaded and sent to

            his personal e-mail Ameripro rate information, and Ameripro templates

            and forms. AX 35-36, 38; 2RR 93-94, 96-98.

       Appellants knew they did not have Ameripro’s consent to take its

information, and knew that their contracts prohibited it. 2RR 158-59, 170-71.13

       In their haste in downloading and using Ameripro’s documents, Appellants

even forgot to remove Ameripro’s address from the templates they took.

Appellants began using exactly the same forms at their new business, with Oak

Mortgage’s logo, but with Ameripro’s address still affixed. 2RR 96-98; compare

AX 36 (the attachment Gosnay e-mailed to his gmail account) with AX 37.

       B.      The confidential information that Appellants took from Ameripro
               enabled them to jumpstart a competing office.

       Access to Ameripro’s records and data would give a competitor “a head

start in starting a new location” in an accelerated time frame. 2RR 81, 90, 99. For

example, it took 10-12 months of time and expense to launch Ameripro’s Lakeway

revenue associated to the specific loan,” expenses specifically related to it, and “total
loan/income,” and that “None of that is publicly available.”).
 13
    2RR 158 (“Q. You chose not to comply with your contract provisions with AmeriPro and
took its financial information and borrower list to your house instead, correct? A. I made
copies.”); 2RR 170-71 (“Q. You knew that you were taking AmeriPro information home with
you for a purpose other than what AmeriPro had given you consent for, correct? A. Correct.”).

                                             12
office. 2RR 47-48. In contrast, after misappropriating substantially all of that

data, Appellants were able to open a new branch in the same complex within one

business day after the Individual Appellants resigned. 3RR 31-32; 2RR 154.

      Similarly, Ameripro developed its proprietary forms over the course of

twelve years. 2RR 98-99. By simply downloading all of that information en

masse, Appellants were able to use the product of Ameripro’s forms, templates,

and customer compilations the same month they opened their branch. AX 35-38.

      By transmitting the details of Ameripro’s builder preferences, lender credits

for loans, product mix, pricing, rates, fees, margins, and other internal records to a

competitor (e.g. AX 27-38), Appellants consequently had the benefit of that data

when they solicited Ameripro’s customers at their jumpstarted branch.             The

builder customer data, in particular, would aid a competitor in soliciting Ameripro

customers because it would show the type and amount of business obtained

through each builder. 2RR 70-71.

V.    Appellants began soliciting Ameripro’s customers for Oak Mortgage,
      even before the Individual Appellants had resigned from Ameripro.

      A.     One month before the Individual Appellants resigned as
             fiduciaries, Oak Mortgage agreed to indemnify them against
             Ameripro, and told them they could solicit its customers.

      On December 10, 2014 (over one month before the Individual Appellants

resigned from their fiduciary roles at Ameripro), Oak Mortgage wrote Nasserfar

                                         13
and Task that it had reviewed their employment agreements, and that they could

“solicit to your book of business,” solicit their “past customer database,” and

solicit from the “builder/realtor relationships.” 2RR 191-93; AX 56.

       The next day, December 11, 2014, Oak Mortgage agreed to indemnify them

in litigation with Ameripro. 2RR 193; AX 53; AX 81.14 They nevertheless

continued to serve as fiduciaries at Ameripro for a full month. 2RR 182-83, 194.15

       B.      While they were Ameripro’s fiduciaries, the Individual
               Appellants began soliciting Ameripro customers for a competitor.
               Oak Mortgage sent “scripts” for them to use.

       One week after Oak Mortgage told Ameripro’s employees they could solicit

its “customers,” Nasserfar e-mailed Task a list of major Ameripro builder

customers, including principal employees. AX 59. A few days later, Nasserfar e-

mailed Oak Mortgage and reported he was “dropping in on all builder contacts,”

driving almost 200 miles to do so. AX 63. Nasserfar admitted he reported his

progress to “the competitor of the company you were working for,” at a time when

 14
      AX 53 and AX 81 are Oak Mortgage’s Offer Package to Nasserfar and Task, and state: “Per
the phone conversation held on December 11, 2014,” Oak Mortgage Group “agrees to provide
Michael with legal support and protection (‘Legal Support and Protection’) in the event a law suit
is filed against Michael by Michael’s previous employer, AmeriPro Funding, Inc. … by covering
the cost of Michael’s legal fees associated with defending the law suit filed by Ameripro.”
 15
    2RR 182-83 (“Q. After the December 11 conversation, you continued working as a fiduciary
for AmeriPro for another month, correct? A. I did continue to work for AmeriPro for another
month, yes. … Q. And not only were you a fiduciary for AmeriPro, you were also the co-
manager at the Lakeway branch for that full month, correct? A. Correct.”).

                                               14
Nasserfar admitted he still owed a duty of loyalty to Ameripro itself. 3RR 58.16

       On January 8, 2015, while Nasserfar was still a fiduciary to Ameripro, Oak

Mortgage also sent him “scripts” to use for “All previous clients & database,”

“Borrowers in Pipeline,” “Realtors in Pipeline,” and “All other Realtors.” AX 78.

Nasserfar also contacted principals and employees of Ameripro’s existing

customers about his plan to open a competing office with Oak Mortgage – at the

same time Nasserfar was paid by Ameripro to help build goodwill with those same

builder customers. 3RR 53, 58-59, CX 1 at 15-16. Despite the non-solicitation

provisions in his contracts with Ameripro, Nasserfar prepared a “To Dos” list on

January 5, 2015, which included drafting a “new intro email to be sent to clients

(both new and old),” and continued to notify Ameripro customers (but not

Ameripro itself) about his plans. AX 58, 80; 3RR 55-57, 60-61.17 As noted

above, Gosnay downloaded customer compilations and forms and e-mailed them

to his personal account. AX 35-36, 38.

       Although the Individual Appellants contractually agreed that Ameripro

 16
     3RR 58 (“Q. And you told Oak Mortgage, the competitor of the company you were working
for, that you had driven almost 200 miles and were dropping in on all builder contacts, correct?
A. Correct. Q. You were still under a duty of loyalty to AmeriPro at that time, correct? A. Yes,
sir.”). Nasserfar sent that update in response to Oak Mortgage’s e-mail about celebrating their
“next chapter” and “all the work put in to serve all those clients, referral partners!” AX 63.
 17
     At 3RR 60-61, Nasserfar was impeached with his prior testimony, in which he admitted that
a text from one such customer went to him personally. Nasserfar then testified that he never saw

                                              15
owned “all leads” (AX 11; AX 17-18), they also met with business prospects

while they fiduciaries of Ameripro (but to benefit Oak Mortgage, not Ameripro),

and scheduled future meetings to occur on dates when they would be working at

Oak Mortgage. AX 60-62, 2RR 203-05.

       Despite the non-solicitation clause in Nasserfar’s and Task’s contracts, Oak

Mortgage also e-mailed them instructions on how to evade detection of such

violations. For example, Oak Mortgage e-mailed Nasserfar and Task on January

8, 2015: “Just have Ty [Gosnay] resign PRIOR to the Michaels. As long as he

resigns before we are ok. … Wait 1 month before you go after the other person.”

AX 57; 2RR 196-97.18

VI.    In addition to transmitting confidential data to Oak Mortgage before
       they resigned, the Individual Appellants removed over 20,000 Ameripro
       customer and financial files and kept them as agents of Oak Mortgage.

       On January 19, 2015, Nasserfar became the Vice President for Oak

Mortgage, Task became Oak’s Mortgage’s Austin Area Sales Manager, and

Gosnay became its Mortgage Banker in Austin. As of that date, they were Oak

Mortgage’s entire sales force in Austin. AX 67; AX 69; AX 81.

it. On the face of AX 58, however, Nasserfar not only received the text but also responded to it,
and the context makes clear he had previously advised the customer about his competing office.
 18
     2RR 196-97 (Task impeached: “Q. Question: ‘Is there any business reason that you can think
of about waiting one month before you go after the other person, other than to make it appear that
it’s not a solicitation?’ Answer: ‘You’d have to ask him. No.’”).

                                               16
      Once they formally became officers and agents of Oak Mortgage, they

continued to keep possession of all of the confidential and customer data they had

taken from Ameripro’s computer network and offices. 2RR 54, 75-78, 159, 178.

      Counsel for Appellants told the district court that “on April the 27th [2015]

we returned over 20,000 – I think it’s over 20,000 electronic files to them.” 2RR

22 (emphasis added). Those 20,000+ Ameripro files were “returned” only after

Ameripro filed applications for injunction to get back its internal files. CR 44-68.

      Task returned the bankers box of records even later, on May 5, 2015 (six

days before the initial injunction hearing). PX 34; CR 95-98. After the district

court issued a TRO on May 11, 2015, Appellants produced still more Ameripro

records they had stored on ten different thumb drives, laptops, and external storage

devices, but stripped out the system metadata. AX 48; 2RR 226-27. Appellants

had the use of those thousands of Ameripro records during the intervening months.

VII. The Individual Appellants destroyed Ameripro documents, including its
     customer files, and destroyed files after the district court issued a TRO
     compelling their return.

      Appellants discussed the prospect of litigation with Ameripro at least as

early as December 11, 2014, when Oak Mortgage agreed to indemnify them. AX

53; AX 81. Task nevertheless manually deleted all of his text messages through

January 20, 2015, after he left the company, including all of the texts he

                                         17
exchanged with Ameripro customers and the other Appellants. 2RR 182-83.19

       On January 15, 2015 (the day before he resigned), Task also inserted a USB

device in the laptop Ameripro had issued to him for work, to download the

documents stored on it, and then deleted 911 “ameriprofunding-clients” files from

the laptop before giving it back to Ameripro. 2RR 217-21; AX 3 (laptop return);

AX 43 (expert analysis). Task had previously moved those files to the local drive

of the laptop, so that information would not be backed up on Ameripro’s network,

would not be accessible to its IT personnel, and documents transmitted to Oak

Mortgage could not be detected. 2RR 174, 219.20

       Appellants also destroyed documents subject to the TRO. The TRO issued

on May 12, 2015. CR 95-98. Two days later, Appellants deleted 140 folders from

a USB hard drive labeled “Nasserfar External Drive.” 2RR 233-36; AX 46. The

pathnames for the deleted folders show they were part of what the TRO

commanded to be returned to Ameripro, including: “AMB Loan Funded Report

Jan-Aug” files, “AMB Profit & Loss Jan-Aug” files, “APF Accounting System

 19
    2RR 182-83 (Task knew of prospective litigation with AmeriPro on December 11, 2014, and
admitted: “Q. And after that, you deleted every text message that existed before then, all the way
through January 20, after you left the company, correct? A. Yes.”).
 20
     2RR 174 (“Q. – Ameripro wouldn’t be able to tell if you sent it, for instance, to Oak
Mortgage, would it? A. They would not have been able to, I guess. Q. So by having it on the
local drive of your computer, you were able to send it any where you want without being
detected, correct? A. If I chose to, I believe.”).

                                               18
Loan Details '14,” “Monthly Pipeline Details,” and “Loan_files” and “Loan

Details” for several months. AX 46.

VIII. Appellants’ successful disruption of Ameripro’s business.

      When the Individual Appellants left Ameripro, they still had loans in the

process of being closed.    CX 1 at 18. Despite the clause in their contracts

regarding being “available to help with and participate in the closing process when

requested” (AX 11, AX 17-18), the Individual Appellants did not return telephone

calls or cooperate on the transition of the pending loans. 2RR 53, 55; 3RR 56.

      The Individual Appellants’ contracts also required them to provide a

“written account” of all open leads, business prospects, and loans in process as of

their termination. AX 11, AX 17-18. Those provisions were designed to “make a

smooth transition for the current customers in the company’s pipeline.” 2RR 78-

79. They did not provide those lists, however, and did not inform Ameripro of

their conversations with borrowers.     2RR 55-56, 79-80.      One major builder

described the impact that the breach had on Ameripro’s goodwill, including that

“there’s been a much higher level of complaint” for the loans Nasserfar handled

and left, some of the loans did not close, and in the resulting confusion Ameripro

was rated “very low” on borrower surveys relating to those loans. CX 1 at 19-21.

      In sum, Appellants took the entirety of Ameripro’s confidential financial

and customer data for the Lakeway branch, and used Ameripro’s confidential

                                        19
information to compete for the very customers they had contractually agreed not to

solicit.   Ameripro’s pipeline of business at the Lakeway office fell off

dramatically, and its Lakeway branch closed down. 2RR 45-46.

                             SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

       The district court did not abuse its discretion in entering the Temporary

Injunction. This is a case of blatant misappropriation of Ameripro’s confidential

information and solicitation of its customers for a competitor, which began at the

behest of Oak Mortgage while the Individual Appellants were still fiduciaries of

Ameripro. The evidence amply supports that each of the Appellants conspired and

participated in those violations of common law, statute, and contract.

       Appellants’ argument that the Temporary Injunction does not provide “any

explanation or description” to satisfy Rule 683 is without merit. Nowhere in

Appellants’ brief do they mention the Temporary Injunction findings that they

attempted to “permanently destroy Ameripro documents and files,” removed

“confidential and proprietary information belonging to Ameripro,” took builder

customer and other confidential data from “Ameripro’s computer network and

premises,” or the multiple specific findings regarding imminent irreparable harm.

Case law shows that the district court’s reasons satisfy Rule 683.

       Appellants’ own testimony confirms that the three builders listed in the

                                         20
Temporary Injunction are “customers” of Ameripro, including under the non-

solicitation provision of the contracts.     That evidence is consistent with the

contract language as well.

      Appellants did not merely take names of builders from Ameripro.

Appellants misappropriated Ameripro’s confidential compilations of multiple

categories of pricing, customer, and financial data (including those listed in the

Temporary Injunction, none of which Appellants mention or address in their

brief). They downloaded that data from Ameripro’s computers. Independent of

the non-use, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation provisions of the contracts, their

conduct was an egregious breach of fiduciary duty, in which Oak Mortgage

knowingly participated, and independently supported issuance of an injunction.

      The record establishes that Appellants had not returned all of Ameripro’s

confidential information as of the hearing.        Instead, Appellants destroyed

documents after the TRO issued, stripped out metadata from copies they

“returned,” and still retained documents. Even for the documents they did return,

their wrongful retention and use of thousands of that information in a competing

business for several months separately supports issuance of the injunction.

      The evidence supports the district court’s multiple findings that Ameripro

does “not have a legal remedy that is adequate,” that damages “would not fully or

adequately compensate Ameripro” and would be “very difficult to ascertain or

                                        21
quantify,” and related findings about the inadequacy of any remedy at law.

Appellants do not mention or address those findings anywhere in their brief, or

any of the evidence relating to them.

      The district court narrowly tailored the Temporary Injunction, and its

exercise of discretion in fashioning the injunctive relief is tied to the imminent

irreparable harm as shown by the evidence.

                                   ARGUMENT

I.    The Temporary Injunction satisfies the requirements of Rule 683.

      Appellants argue that the Temporary Injunction states mere conclusions and

does not provide “any explanation or description” why an injunction is needed to

prevent irreparable injury to Ameripro.      [App. Br. 25.]   Based on that false

premise, they argue that the Temporary Injunction does not comply with Rule 683.

      A.    The reasons for issuance stated in the Temporary Injunction,
            which Appellants do not address or even mention in their brief.

      Appellants’ argument is false on its face. The Temporary Injunction states

that Appellants “attempted to permanently destroy Ameripro documents,” that

they “have taken from Ameripro’s computer network and premises confidential

and proprietary information belonging to Ameripro,” and it itemizes several

categories of confidential customer and financial files that Appellants wrongfully

took from “Ameripro’s computer network and premises,” including “customer and

                                        22
referral lists,” “builder preferences,” and multiple categories of internal financial

data ranging from Ameripro’s “general ledgers” to its “pricing information.” CR

223-24. The Temporary Injunction expressly adds:

      “The Court further finds, based upon the evidence, that Ameripro has
      met its burden to establish that it will suffer a probable, imminent, and
      irreparable injury until trial on the merits, absent entry of a temporary
      injunction, in that Ameripro has shown that the full extent of injury to
      Ameripro if this Order did not issue would be very difficult to ascertain
      or quantify, a future award of damages would not fully or adequately
      compensate Ameripro, Ameripro does not have a legal remedy that is
      adequate in lieu of injunctive relief, and even to the extent that a legal
      remedy might be available, its redress will be limited and inadequate.
      The Court further finds that the balancing of the equities as between
      Ameripro and Counter-Defendants … favors the issuance of this
      temporary injunction, and that this temporary injunction is necessary to
      preserve the status quo between the parties pending trial on the merits.”

CR 224 (emphasis added).

      None of the foregoing detailed reasons — stated directly in the Temporary

Injunction — are mentioned anywhere in Appellants’ brief. Appellants simply

ignore them. Their argument that the Temporary Injunction does not give “any

explanation or description” of its reasons is without merit.

      B.     The reasons stated in the Temporary Injunction go further than
             is required by Rule 683, as shown by multiple decisions.

      As a matter of law, the reasons set out in the Temporary Injunction satisfy

Rule 683 requirements, as illustrated by multiple decisions (including those cited

by Appellants).

                                         23
       In IAC, ltd. v. Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc., 160 S.W.3d 191 (Tex. App. –

Fort Worth 2005, no pet.), the court rejected a similar challenge under Rule 683.

In affirming a temporary injunction, the IAC court stated:

       “When a defendant possesses trade secrets and is in a position to use
       them, harm to the trade secret owner may be presumed. [Citations
       omitted.] The threatened disclosure of trade secrets constitutes
       irreparable injury as a matter of law.”
160 S.W.3d at 200 (emphasis added). In fact, “At times, an injunction is the only

effective relief an employer has when a former employee possesses confidential

information.” Rugen v. Interactive Business Systems, Inc., 864 S.W.2d 548, 552

(Tex. App. – Dallas 1993, no pet.) (emphasis added).

       Just as importantly, the IAC court noted that the same reasons contained in

the Temporary Injunction satisfied Rule 683: “The injunction further states that

Bell’s injury is irreparable because ‘it cannot be adequately compensated in

damages or the damages cannot be measured by any pecuniary standard’ and that

‘a legal remedy may be also inadequate since an award of damages may come too

late.’ Accordingly, we hold that the injunction adequately sets forth the reasons

for its issuance by identifying Bell’s harm and explaining why it is irreparable.”
160 S.W.3d at 201.21

     Here, Appellants actually used Ameripro’s confidential information. Oak Mortgage
analyzed a copy of Ameripro’s profitability report for several hours, even while the Individual
Appellants (who supplied the report) were still Ameripro fiduciaries. AX 49-50; 2RR 230-32.

                                              24
       Here, the Temporary Injunction includes the reasons found sufficient in

IAC, but also recites much more egregious conduct. For example, Appellants’

attempts to “permanently destroy Ameripro documents and files,” and their

possession of confidential information belonging to Ameripro, describe threats of

irreparable injury as a matter of law.22

       So too does the Individual Appellants’ breaches of contract, with which Oak

Mortgage tortiously interfered. CR 223. Tranter, Inc. v. Liss, 2014 WL 1257278

*9 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth March 27, 2014, no pet.) (quoting with approval, “‘In

Texas, injury resulting from breach of non-compete covenants is the epitome of

irreparable injury.”). The Temporary Injunction also found that Appellants took

Ameripro’s “customer and referral lists and contact information,” compilations of

“builder preferences,” its “pricing information,” and other specific examples of

customer and financial data which would epitomize irreparable harm if placed in

the hands of a competitor. CR 224.

       Even if the district court had not explicitly found the likelihood that

Compare: Fox v. Tropical Warehouses, Inc., 121 S.W.3d 853, 860 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth
2003, no pet.) (“TWI is not required to prove that Fox is actually using the information; it need
only prove that he is in possession of the information and is in a position to use it”).
 22
     The record supports those reasons as well. 2RR 217-21 & AX 43 (over 900
“ameriprofunding-clients” files destroyed from Ameripro laptop); 2RR 233-36 & AX 46 (140
“loan files,” “pipeline,” and other Ameripro files destroyed); 2RR 182-83 & AX 53 (Task
manually deleted all text messages that existed during his employment, after Oak Mortgage
agreed to indemnify him in litigation against Ameripro).

                                               25
Appellants engaged in misappropriation and destructive behavior, their wrongful

acquisition of Ameripro’s confidential information, by itself, also gives rise to a

presumption of irreparable harm. Hill v. McLane Co., Inc., 2011 WL 56061 *5

(Tex. App. – Austin Jan. 5, 2011, no pet.) (where appellant “acquired” trade secret

information, a plaintiff “need not demonstrate” actual misappropriation before

trial, and “[i]nstead, ‘harm to the trade secret owner may be presumed,” citing

IAC); Conley v. DSC Commun. Corp., 1999 WL 89955 *5 (Tex. App. – Dallas

Feb. 24, 1999, no pet.) (although “no evidence shows any misconduct” by a

former employee, that did “not change the fact that the employee is in possession

of confidential, proprietary information,” and did “not bar the trial court from

entering a temporary injunction.”).

      Moreover, the Temporary Injunction findings that i) “the full extent of

injury to Ameripro if this Order did not issue would be very difficult to ascertain

or quantify,” ii) a future award of damages “would not fully or adequately

compensate Ameripro,” iii) Ameripro “does not have a legal remedy that is

adequate in lieu of injunctive relief,” and iv) “even to the extent that a legal

remedy might be available, its redress will be limited and inadequate,” are

independent reasons why irreparable harm would result which satisfy Rule 683,

and as shown in Section V below, are fully supported by the record. Topheavy

Studios, Inc. v. Doe, 2005 WL 1940159 *6 (Tex. App. – Austin Sept. 14, 2005, no

                                        26
pet.) (“A party proves irreparable harm by showing an injury for which there can

be no real legal measure of damages or for which damages cannot be ascertained

with a sufficient degree of certainty.”).

      In sum, the district court’s reasons for issuance, as stated in the Temporary

Injunction, are much more detailed than Rule 683 requires. See also Amalgamated

Acme Affiliates, Inc. v. Minton, 33 S.W.3d 387, 397 (Tex. App. – Austin 2000, no

pet.) (injunction satisfied Rule 683 when it stated the appellant misrepresented

itself with intent to interfere, and in the same order, stated that “without the

issuance of this temporary injunction, said Defendant will alter the status quo and

Plaintiffs will be without any adequate remedy at law”); Inex Indus., Inc. v. Alpar

Resources, Inc., 717 S.W.2d 685, 688 (Tex. App. – Amarillo 1986, no writ) (cited

with approval by this Court in Amalgamated as holding “the trial court sufficiently

stated its reasons ‘that Wallace and Inex would, if allowed to continue, alter the

status quo, tend to make ineffectual a judgment in favor of Alpar, and leave Alpar

without an adequate remedy at law,’” and that “these recitations were held to

satisfy Rule 683 as interpreted by the supreme court”); Texas Tech University

Health Sciences Center v. Rao, 105 S.W.3d 763, 768 (Tex. App. – Amarillo 2003,

pet. dismissed) (“a recitation of the reasons an injunction issued was because the

defendants had no adequate remedy at law, the rights involved were unique and

irreplaceable, and money damages would not be a sufficient remedy were

                                            27
sufficient to meet Rule 683 requisites,” and adding, “We agree with that holding”)

(citing Pinebrook Properties, Ltd. v. Brookhaven Lake Property Owners

Association, 77 S.W.3d 487, 504-05 (Tex. App. – Texarkana 2002, pet. denied)).

      C.    The decisions cited by Appellants do not assist them. One such
            decision lists the language from this Temporary Injunction as
            examples that “comply with rule 683.”

      The authority that Appellants cite at pages 22-24 of their brief actually

defeat their argument: one decision listed some of the same reasons contained in

this Temporary Injunction, and described them as examples that have “been held

sufficient to comply with rule 683.” The remaining decisions that Appellants cite

are inapposite — the language in those orders did not recite any reasons at all, and

in several instances did not even mention the word “injury.”

      Appellants cite Byrd Ranch, Inc. v. Interwest Savings Association, 717
S.W.2d 452, 454-55 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth 1986, no writ). The Byrd court,

however, contrasted its facts with examples from decisions where “an order has

been held sufficient to comply with rule 683,” including:

      •     “the conduct ‘would alter the status quo and tend to make a final
            judgment in favor of appellees impossible or difficult to enforce;’”

      •     The “moving party ‘would be harmed unless the temporary injunction
            were issued, as the status quo could not be maintained without the
            injunction;’”

      •     “or that the moving party ‘will probably sustain irreparable injury and
            damage to its business’ if the conduct continues.”

                                        28
       Here, the district court states “Ameripro will suffer a probable, imminent,

and irreparable injury,” and then proceeds to list those same reasons. CR 224. In

addition, the Temporary Injunction states multiple other reasons as well, as quoted

above. CR 223-24.

       The other decisions that Appellants cite are inapposite, because the

temporary injunction orders in those decisions did not list any reasons for

issuance, and in several instances did not mention “injury” at all.23

       As stated in Intercontinental Terminals Company, LLC v. Vopak North

America, Inc., 354 S.W.3d 887, 899 (Tex. App. – Houston [1st Dist.] 2011, no

pet.), which Appellants cite in their brief, “An explanation of the pending harm to

the temporary injunction applicant, along with a specific recitation of the conduct

enjoined, is all that is necessary to achieve Rule 683’s purpose.” This Temporary

Injunction does so in detail.24

II.    Appellants’ own admissions establish that Ameripro’s builder clients
       are “customers” under the non-solicitation clauses.

       Appellants state in their brief that they disagree with the “district court’s

construction of the employment contract term ‘customer’ to include residential

homebuilders,” such as Brohn, Clark Wilson, and Seaholm. App. Br. 30. They

argue that when the non-solicitation provisions in their contracts refer to

“customers,” they had intended to use the narrower phrase “borrowers” instead.

Appellants’ argument, however, is without merit for several reasons.

       A.      Appellants make no attempt to address the testimony (including
               their own sworn admissions) that customers include borrowers
               and “builder customers.”

       First, Appellants’ argument is contradicted by their own admissions. At the

injunction hearing, Nasserfar admitted that part of his job at Ameripro was to build

goodwill with Ameripro’s “builder customers,” and that he would submit expense

injunction, despite no reference to “injury,” because the violated “statute itself declares the
injury” and “the “order need not restate the words of the statute”).
 24
    Appellants’ reasons for citing Intercontinental are particularly unclear: that court affirmed a
temporary injunction despite the fact that the trial court (unlike the instant case) “struck-through”
a paragraph relating to the applicant’s “probable right of recovery.” 354 S.W.3d at 898-99.

                                                 30
reports to Ameripro for entertaining them. 3RR 52-53.25 Task admitted that

Ameripro “customers,” as used in the contracts, included referral sources, and that

he was contractually barred from soliciting them unless they were his customers

before he joined Ameripro. 2RR 185-86.26

       Nasserfar further stated that Ameripro was the “exclusive lender” for Brohn

and Clark Wilson.        3RR 50-52; AX 67.           In fact, Nasserfar admitted that as

Ameripro’s branch manager, he developed a “builder centric model” for Ameripro.

3RR 48-50; AX 75.           In social media, Task as well admitted that Ameripro

“clients” included builders. AX 55.

       In addition, Ameripro’s President testified that Ameripro’s customer base

included “builders” with whom Ameripro had business relationships (including for

lender credits on loan transactions), and who served as referral sources. 2RR 68-

71, 142-43. Brohn Homes, Clark Wilson Builders, and Seaholm Residences (the

only builders listed in the Temporary Injunction) in particular were “customers” of

 25
     3RR 52-53 (He asked Ameripro to reimburse him for lunches and dinners with “Centerra,
Brohn, and other clients.” “Q. Part of what AmeriPro paid you to do was to build goodwill with
its builder customers, correct? A. It wasn’t in my employment agreement. Q. But that’s part of
what you did as your job was to build goodwill with these customers, right? A. I believe so.”).
 26
    2RR 185-86 (“Q. On Page 112, Line 22, ‘If you developed a relationship with a referral
source after you began at AmeriPro, do you believe you can solicit to them?’ … Answer: ‘If it
was a new referral source, I wouldn’t solicit them. They can solicit me. They can call me, but I
can’t solicit them.’ Question: ‘And you can’t solicit them under the employment agreement as
you understand them’ – ‘understood them, correct?’ Answer: ‘It’s my understanding for 12

                                              31
Ameripro when the Individual Appellants worked there, 2RR 50, 69-70, 100-02;

3RR 67-68, and therefore fell within the terms of the non-solicitation provisions.

       Contrary to statements in Appellants’ brief, Nasserfar and Task did not have

a customer relationship with those three entities until after they were employed at

Ameripro, so as to fit within any exception to the non-solicitation clauses. 2RR

100-02, 201; 3RR 67-68, 177-78. Neither did Oak Mortgage. 2RR 52.

       B.     The evidence regarding builder customers is consistent with the
              non-solicitation clause.

       Appellants also argue that a reference in the employment agreements to

“customer and their loan” means that the court should substitute the narrower

phrase “borrower” in place of the broader term “customer.” The “customers” of

Ameripro’s lending business, however, encompassed services for both builders

and borrowers, not one or the other. In addition to stating that Ameripro was the

“exclusive lender” for builders Brohn and Clark Wilson, Nasserfar wrote that the

“builder centric model” at Ameripro led to “timely closings, and assisting on

making sales for our builder partners.” AX 75; see also 2RR 50-51, 68-71, 142-

43. Appellants’ own admissions show that the reference to “loan” is consistent

with the district court’s belief that “customers” as used in the contracts was

months.’ … Question: ‘Who do you believe you can solicit business from?’ Answer: ‘Any
client, customer, business referral, realtor source that I knew prior to AmeriPro Funding.’”).

                                             32
intended to include builder customers. Moreover, the one-year non-solicitation

would be meaningless if restricted to homebuyers, given the unlikelihood that a

typical buyer would purchase another home so quickly after their last purchase, in

contrast to the continuous business relationship that Ameripro had with its builder

customers.

      In their brief, Appellants make no attempt to explain or otherwise address

any of the above testimony and documentary evidence. They make no attempt to

explain their prior admissions that “customers” under the contracts include

builders, or the testimony that Ameripro’s “customers” specifically included

Brohn, Clark Wilson, and Seaholm. They simply ignore it.

      Appellants’ wholesale failure to mention any of the evidence which

contradict their arguments should be fatal to their appeal. A reviewing court

“cannot reverse a trial court’s order if the trial court was presented with conflicting

evidence and the record includes evidence that reasonably supports the trial

court’s decision.” Universal Health Serv. v. Thompson, 24 S.W.3d 570, 576 (Tex.

App. – Austin 2000, no pet.). “The evidence is viewed in the light most favorable

to the trial court’s order, indulging every reasonable inference in its favor,” and

the reviewing court may reverse only if the district court’s order “was so arbitrary

as to exceed the bounds of reasonable discretion.” Id.

                                          33
      C.    Appellants’ argument that the definition of “customers” should
            be construed against Ameripro conflicts with the plain language
            of the contracts, which disclaim that either party is sole drafter.

      Appellants also argue that the employment agreements do not define

“customer,” and therefore the phrase should be construed against Ameripro. The

contracts themselves, however, negate Appellants’ argument.

      Nasserfar and Task agreed that “no party shall be deemed to be the drafter”

and the provisions shall not be construed “against either party as the drafter.” AX

11, 17. Gosnay likewise agreed that his contract “shall be construed as if both

Parties had equal say in its drafting, and thus shall not be construed against the

drafter.” AX 18.

      Appellants’ argument also fails because it disregards the applicable standard

of review, which indulges every reasonable inference in favor of the trial court’s

ruling, not against it.   Universal, 24 S.W.3d at 576.     Their latent ambiguity

argument is unsound for the same reason: Gallagher Headquarters Ranch Dev.,

Ltd. v. City of San Antonio, 303 S.W.3d 700 (Tex. 2010) was a summary judgment

appeal, and therefore applied an appellate standard opposite that of temporary-

injunction review.

      Nor would a drafter’s rule aid Appellants. Appellants’ brief states that

customer is “generally defined” as one who regularly has “‘business dealings”

with a business or “‘who customarily has dealings with a business establishment.’”

                                        34
App. Br. 32. That plain English definition, however, supports the district court’s

finding, and is consistent with testimony from both sides which construes

“customers” to include Ameripro’s “builder customers.”

III.   Injunctive relief was also independently warranted because Appellants
       were barred from soliciting Ameripro customers for a competitor in
       breach of fiduciary duties, separate and apart from their breaches of
       contract and misappropriation.

       Appellants also argue that the identity of builders is not “secret” or

confidential information.     Appellants’ overly simplistic argument, however,

mischaracterizes the customer information they actually stole from Ameripro,

which was far more extensive, and how they went about taking it.

       Just as importantly, Appellants ignore the district court’s findings that they

violated multiple other tort and contract duties, which Appellants do not address in

their brief. The district court’s findings of “breach of fiduciary duty,” breach of

contract, tortious interference, conversion, and misappropriation, each separately

and independently warranted injunctive relief.       ERI Consult. Engrs., Inc. v.

Swinnea, 318 S.W.3d 867, 873 (Tex. 2010) (“courts may fashion equitable

remedies” when a fiduciary “competes with a principal” or usurps an opportunity);

In re Longview Energy Co., 464 S.W.3d 353, 361 (Tex. 2015) (same); Hunter

Bldgs. & Mfg., LP v. MBI Global, LLC, 436 S.W.3d 9, 15 (Tex. App. – Houston

[14th Dist.] 2014, pet. denied) (claimant “has the same equitable remedies” against

                                         35
a party who knowingly “participates” in another’s breach of fiduciary duty).

         A.    Appellants did not merely take the names of builder customers.
               They took pricing, lender credit data, compilations of builder
               preferences, and multiple other computer data.

         Ameripro’s confidential customer information is not simply builders’ names

and telephone numbers, but includes the lender credits for loans, and its

compilation of builder closing preferences and other details which Ameripro has

aggregated over time — all of which Appellants fail to mention anywhere in their

brief.

         The   Temporary    Injunction   specifically   lists   Ameripro’s   “pricing

information,” “builder preferences,” and “transaction details,” among the data that

Appellants misappropriated from its computer network and premises. CR 224.

Appellants’ brief makes no mention anywhere of those findings. Ameripro’s

lender credits for loans and customer compilations, for example, are not publicly

available information, Ameripro made reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy of

that information, and disclosure of that information would give an economic

advantage to a competitor. 2RR 66-68, 70-71, 81-82, 89-91, 99, 143. That would

appear to be why Appellants secretly downloaded it from Ameripro’s computers in

the first place.

         For the same reasons, that evidence also satisfies the Texas Uniform Trade

Secrets Act’s (“TUTSA”) elements of a “trade secret,” which explicitly includes a

                                         36
“compilation,” “financial data,” or “list of actual or potential customers” which

have economic value and for which reasonable efforts were made to maintain

secrecy. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 134A.002(6).

      B.    Appellants’ solicitation of Ameripro customers and use of
            confidential information for that purpose, even while the
            Individual Appellants were still Ameripro’s fiduciaries.

      Appellants also ignore the Temporary Injunction findings that they engaged

in multiple other tort and contract violations, which independently support the

Temporary Injunction.

      Appellants’ sole reference to “fiduciary” is to claim that Oak Mortgage did

not owe a duty itself. App. Br. 57. However, the evidence shows that Oak

Mortgage was a knowing participant in the Individual Appellants’ breaches of

fiduciary duty, and also conspired with them, which makes it “jointly liable” for

that conduct. Hunter, 436 S.W.3d at 15; Sharma v. Vinmar Int’l, Ltd., 231 S.W.3d
405, 429 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th Dist.] 2007, no pet.) (injunctive relief by

necessity must be full and complete so that those who have “‘breached their

fiduciary relationship, as well as those who willfully and knowingly have aided

them in doing so, will be effectively denied the benefits and profit flowing from

the wrongdoing’”) (emphasis added).

      Appellants’ failure to address breach of fiduciary duty is particularly

amazing, given that it was a focal point of evidence and argument below. 2RR

                                       37
182-83, 192-94; 3RR 38-39, 187-88, 193. On December 10, 2014, well before the

Individual Appellants resigned from their fiduciary roles, Oak Mortgage wrote

them that they could “solicit to your book of business,” solicit their “past customer

database,” and solicit from the “builder/realtor relationships.” 2RR 191-92; AX

56. The next day, December 11, 2014, Oak Mortgage agreed to indemnify them in

future litigation with Ameripro.     AX 53; AX 81.27        Even after securing a

competitor’s agreement to indemnify them against their principal, they continued

serving as fiduciaries for Ameripro for another month. 2RR 182-83, 194.

        While he was still Ameripro’s fiduciary, Nasserfar reported to Oak

Mortgage that he was “dropping in on all builder contacts,” having driven almost

200 miles to do so. AX 63 (emphasis added). Nasserfar admitted he reported that

solicitation progress to “the competitor of the company you were working for,”

and that he still owed a duty of loyalty to Ameripro at the time. 3RR 58.

        On January 8, 2015 – again while Nasserfar was still a fiduciary to

Ameripro – Oak Mortgage also sent him “scripts” to use for “All previous clients

& database,” “Borrowers in Pipeline,” “Realtors in Pipeline,” and “All other

Realtors.” AX 78; 3RR 59. Nasserfar also contacted principals and employees of

Ameripro’s existing customers about his plan to open a competing office with Oak

 27
      AX 53 and AX 81 are Oak Mortgage’s Offer Package to Nasserfar and Task, and

                                         38
Mortgage (even as he was paid to build goodwill for his principal, Ameripro).

3RR 53, 56-57; CX 1 at 15-16.

      The confidential information Appellants stole was also intertwined with

their solicitation of Ameripro customers in violation of fiduciary duties and the

non-solicitation clauses. They downloaded Ameripro’s computer compilations for

three Ameripro builder customers, including Brohn Homes and Clark Wilson

Builders, their fees and tax rates (broken down by community), working capital,

and closing preferences, requirements, lender credits for loans, and other non-

public customer information.       AX 35; 2RR 93-94.     They met with business

prospects for the benefit of Oak Mortgage – while they were still fiduciaries of

Ameripro – and scheduled future meetings to occur on dates when they would be

working at Oak Mortgage. 2RR 203-05; AX 60-62.

      Oak Mortgage also e-mailed them instructions on how to evade detection of

their violations.    AX 57.     Task could not think of an explanation for the

instructions, except to make it appear they were not soliciting. 2RR 196-97.28

      None of this evidence is even mentioned anywhere in Appellants’ brief.

They simply ignore it. The evidence does not support their argument that they

memorializes the December 11, 2014 agreement.

                                           39
merely took and used only publicly-available names of builders.

       Appellants also completely ignore the multiple other categories of

confidential information listed in the Temporary Injunction, which would equally

assist them in unfairly competing. Their brief makes no reference to “general

ledgers,” “profitability,” “pro forma,” and other categories of data they not only

stole, but that Oak Mortgage uploaded and analyzed. AX 28-36, 49. Appellants’

counsel told the district court that Appellants had returned “over 20,000 electronic

files” to Ameripro on April 27, 2015 alone — meaning that those competitors not

only took Ameripro’s information, but had held it for several months after they

opened their competing office. 2RR 22.

       In sum, Appellants’ argument that someone can do a Google search to find a

builder’s name does not begin to scratch the surface of the confidential

information they downloaded and gave to a competitor, nor does it address the

several categories of tort and contract duties the district court found they violated.

       C.      Even if Appellants supposedly could have publicly obtained some
               of the data they took from Ameripro computers, they tortiously
               downloaded Ameripro’s work product.

       Appellants’ argument that they could have conducted public searches to

 28
     2RR 196-97 (Task impeached: “Q. Question: ‘Is there any business reason that you can think
of about waiting one month before you go after the other person, other than to make it appear that
it’s not a solicitation?’ Answer: ‘You’d have to ask him. No.’”).

                                               40
compile the customer information stored on Ameripro’s computers, aside from

being false, does not defeat the trade secret status of Ameripro’s data. Nor would

that possibility give them license to thieve copies from Ameripro’s computers.

      In Reliant Hospital Partners, LLC v. Cornerstone Healthcare Group

Holdings, Inc., 374 S.W.3d 488, 500-01 (Tex. App. – Dallas 2012, pet. denied),

the appellants argued that a “compilation” of target market opportunities was not

secret because “such information was readily available through the internet or by

exerting minimal effort to talk with others.” 374 S.W.3d at 500-01. Unlike the

instant case, the appellants in Reliant were not restricted by a non-solicitation

clause. But the Reliant court rejected their argument, noting “the question is not

‘How could he have secured the knowledge?’ but ‘How did he?’” Id. The court

held that the compilation of market targets constituted a “trade secret” which one

of the appellants obtained while still employed by his prior employer. Id.

      Similarly, in American Precision Vibrator Co. v. National Air Vibrator Co.,

764 S.W.2d 274, 277 (Tex. App. – Houston), appeal stayed, 771 S.W.2d 562 (Tex.

App. – Houston 1989), the court rejected the appellant’s argument that “customer

lists” were not trade secret because the information was “readily accessible from

other sources.” The court stated that “‘the mere fact that such lawful acquisition is

available does not mean that he may, through a breach of confidence, gain the

information in usable form and escape the efforts of inspection and analysis,’” and

                                         41
noted that while some of the information at issue was publicly available, evidence

showed that “not all” of it was. 764 S.W.2d at 277.

      The Individual Appellants’ conduct not only breached the employment

contracts, but also their common law duties. Oak Mortgage actively participated

in both. In Hill, this Court quoted with approval, “‘But it is well established that

even without an enforceable contractual restriction, a former employee is

precluded from using for his own advantage, and to the detriment of his former

employer, confidential information or trade secrets acquired by or imparted to him

in the course of his employment.’” 2011 WL 56061 at *2; Renewdata Corp. v.

Strickler, 2006 WL 504998 *12 (Tex. App. – Austin 2006, no pet.) (same). The

fact that the Individual Appellants were fiduciaries when they committed their

acts, and had signed contracts under which Ameripro is sole owner of the records

they took, makes their conduct particularly inexcusable.

IV.   Appellants’ argument that they had returned all confidential
      information of Ameripro prior to the hearing is also false.

      Appellants also argue “all confidential information of Ameripro – both

paper and electronic – was returned to Ameripro prior to the temporary injunction

hearing,” and there is no harm caused by their “previous possession of confidential

information of Ameripro.” App. Br. 27, 39-40, 47. Those admissions confirm that

Appellants took “confidential information of Ameripro” in the first place.

                                        42
       Their claim that they “returned” all of it before the hearing, however, is

false in several respects, in terms of Ameripro documents they kept and did not

return, the system metadata they stripped out of the Ameripro documents, and the

documents Appellants destroyed even after a TRO commanded their return.

       A.     Appellants did not return all confidential information, they
              violated the TRO, and they specifically stripped out system
              metadata from the documents they did provide.

       Appellants did not return all of the confidential information they

downloaded from Ameripro’s computers and removed from its premises, as they

tried to argue in the district court.

       When the TRO issued, Appellants were commanded to return Ameripro’s

confidential documents “in whatever medium such documents and information

exists.” CR 97. Appellants disobeyed that command, however, by keeping all of

the media on which those documents had been downloaded, and instead sending

Ameripro only copies, of selectively picked portions, with all of the system

metadata stripped out. 2RR 227 (expert discusses “‘selective production’” and

“file system metadata or any other artifacts” which is missing even for the

documents that were provided).

       At the temporary injunction hearing, Appellants’ counsel admitted that

Appellants had not returned the media, and argued that Ameripro could “come to

my office, we’ll arrange to make that available for their [Ameripro’s] forensics to

                                        43
look at it.” 2RR 28. To avoid a repeat of the TRO violation, the district court

included detailed instructions about the forensic images that Appellants were

required to return to Ameripro. CR 224-25.

      When the district court announced her ruling from the bench at the

temporary injunction hearing, Appellants’ counsel confirmed that the court ruled

that his forensic expert “is going to provide” the forensic images, and added, “All

those files will be returned, if they haven’t already been returned.” 3RR 206.

      In short, the court was not required to accept Appellants’ inconsistent

statements that they had already returned all of the information, in the face of

evidence which clearly showed they had not. That is particularly so, given their

pattern of misconduct: they previously tried to evade detection of their solicitation

activities, while they were still fiduciaries, violated federal regulations, and hid

from Ameripro that they had taken its confidential records. AX 57; 2RR 155-56,

160-61, 167-72, 174, 184, 196-97.

      B.     Appellants destroyed documents even after a TRO commanded
             their return.

      In addition, Appellants destroyed customer files that the court previously

commanded them to return to Ameripro. That was a continuation of the practice

Appellants had engaged in before, where they attempted to “permanently destroy

Ameripro documents and files.” CR 223. Instead of returning all Ameripro

                                         44
documents prior to the temporary injunction hearing, Appellants busily engaged in

committing additional violations.

      The TRO commanded Appellants to “return to Ameripro all confidential

documents and information they removed from Ameripro, in whatever medium

such documents and information exists.” CR 97. Two days after the TRO issued,

Appellants deleted 140 folders from a USB device they had labeled “Nasserfar

External Drive.” 2RR 233-36; AX 46. The pathnames for the deleted folders

show that they were part of what the TRO commanded to be returned to Ameripro,

including: “AMB Profit & Loss Jan-Aug” files, “APF Accounting System Loan

Details '14,” “Monthly Pipeline Details,” and “Loan_files” and “Loan Details” for

several months. AX 46. In Lynd v. Bass Pro Outdoor World, Inc., 2014 WL
1010120 *8 (Tex. App. – Dallas 2014, pet. denied), the court held that “the trial

court did not err by implicitly finding that the harm was imminent and not

speculative,” noting that the conduct had continued up “until the entry of the

temporary restraining order” and appellant was forced to stop. Here, even a TRO

did not dissuade Appellants from continuing their misconduct.

      C.     The fact that a competitor misappropriated confidential
             information at all also supports issuing the injunction.

      Leaving aside Appellants’ failure to return Ameripro’s confidential

information, the fact that they took Ameripro’s protected property in the first place

                                         45
warranted injunctive relief. Lasser v. Amistco Separation Prods., Inc., 2014 WL
4952501 *8-9 (Tex. App. – Houston [1st Dist.] Oct. 2, 2014, no pet.) (inclusion of

a requirement the appellant “has already performed” was appropriate under Rule

683, helps “prevent the repetition of the offending conduct,” and prevents the need

to revise the order “should it be discovered … that [appellant] has any additional

confidential information”).

      Appellants also argue that they should not be enjoined because they “do not

need” Ameripro’s confidential information given their “extensive industry

knowledge.”     App. Br. 40.      Again, that begs the question why Appellants

misappropriated over 20,000 confidential documents from Ameripro in the first

place, and why its competitor, Oak Mortgage, specifically requested those records.

For example, when Nasserfar was still acting as Ameripro’s fiduciary, Oak

Mortgage wrote him that it needed “some more information from you,” including

Ameripro’s “Product Mix,” profit and loss statements, “Pricing” so Oak Mortgage

could “compare it to our pricing,” and other employees’ compensation. AX 27;

3RR 44-46.       The district court was not required to accept Appellants’

representation, particularly given the evidence of its falsity.

      D.      Appellants used Ameripro’s confidential information, but taking
              such data was also wrongful misappropriation.

      Appellants’ argument that “Ameripro offered no evidence of any past

                                          46
improper use of any alleged confidential information by Appellants” is also false.

App. Br. 41.    For example, after Nasserfar gave Oak Mortgage a copy of

Ameripro’s profitability report, Oak Mortgage uploaded and analyzed it for

several hours. They engaged in that misappropriation even before Nasserfar had

resigned his fiduciary role. AX 49-50; 2RR 230-32. Appellants even forgot to

remove Ameripro’s address before they began using its proprietary forms. 2RR

96-98; AX 36-37.     The district court acted within its discretion in rejecting

Appellants’ argument as not credible.

      Appellants’ argument is also legally incorrect. Misappropriation is not

limited only to “use,” but also occurs when there has been an “acquisition” or

“disclosure or use” of confidential information through improper means, each of

which is prohibited conduct. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. § 134A.002(3). Appellants

have not even challenged the evidence that they wrongfully acquired Ameripro’s

confidential information.

V.    The district court correctly found that Ameripro does not have an
      adequate legal remedy.

      The district court also properly found based on the evidence that “a future

award of damages would not fully or adequately compensate Ameripro,” that the

“full extent of injury to Ameripro” would be “very difficult to ascertain or

quantify,” and that “Ameripro does not have a legal remedy that would be

                                        47
adequate in lieu of injunctive relief.” CR 224.

      Those findings are supported by the record.          Ameripro’s competitors

misappropriated over 20,000 of its confidential records, ranging from its customer

data to its pro formas, and used their fiduciary positions to solicit customers for a

competitor in violation of common law duties and the contracts. 2RR 22, 85-85,

91-94, 96-99, 156-61, 164-72, 174, 177-78, 183-84, 203-05; 3RR 42, 53, 55-61,

127-28; CX1 at 15-16; AX 28-38, 58, 59-63, 78, 80.            Ameripro’s President

testified that Ameripro could not trace and calculate the resulting damages, that

the injury were “ongoing,” and that Appellants used Ameripro’s confidential

information “specifically to open up a new location in direct competition with us.”

2RR 101-03. And again, Ameripro presented evidence of multiple cat-and-mouse

examples where Ameripro caught Appellants giving instructions on how to evade

detection, destroying evidence, placing information on a local drive where

Ameripro would not find it, and secretly soliciting and taking Ameripro’s

confidential data. AX 27, 43, 46, 49-50, 57; 2RR 155-56, 160-61, 167-72, 174,

182-83, 196-97, 217-21, 230-36.

      By their nature, those are injuries the full extent of which would be difficult

to ascertain or quantify (or fully uncover), and for which a future award would not

be complete or adequate. In Hill, for example, this Court noted that the appellant

“possessed confidential information belonging to” the appellee, and that “harm to

                                         48
the trade secret owner may be presumed.” 2011 WL 56061 at *5. Hill noted that

“if” the appellants “were to impermissibly use McLane’s trade secrets” or disclose

them, “the resulting damages would be difficult to calculate,” and that the “very

purpose of the injunction” is to prevent such violations from occurring. 2011 WL
56061 at *5. See also Miller Paper Co. v. Roberts Paper Co., 901 S.W.2d 593,

602 (Tex. App. – Amarillo 1995, no pet.) (employees took confidential

information and “began to resolicit the businesses,” agreeing that a “legal remedy

is inadequate” and damage “cannot be easily calculated”).

      A.    The district court found Ameripro has a likelihood of success on
            multiple tort theories for which injunction is the only effective
            relief, not just breach of contract.

      Moreover, this case is not limited to a simple breach of contract action:

Appellants’ theft of thousands of confidential records, and using Ameripro’s

existing fiduciaries to solicit customers and business for a competitor, sound under

multiple tort theories. As this Court noted in Garth v. Staktek Corp., 876 S.W.2d
545 (Tex. App. – Austin 1994, writ dism’d w.o.j.), “injunctions against trade

secret violations may be necessary to provide meaningful legal protection to the

owners of intellectual property,” and monetary damages may not sufficiently

protect “from unfair competition by those who improperly appropriate confidential

information.” 876 S.W.2d at 550. See also Flake v. EGL Eagle Global Logistics,

L.P., 2002 WL 31008136 *4 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th Dist.] Sept. 5, 2002, no

                                        49
pet.) (“A legal remedy is inadequate if damages are difficult to calculate or their

award may come too late. … Although any damages Eagle stands to suffer or has

suffered are compensable through money damages, ‘[i]njunctive relief is property

to prevent a party, that has appropriated another’s trade secrets, from gaining

unfair market advantage,’” and finding a temporary injunction “the only effective

relief available”); Frequent Flyer Depot, Inc. v. American Airlines, Inc., 281
S.W.3d 215, 228-29 (Tex. App. – Fort Worth 2009, pet. denied), cert. denied, 559
U.S. 1036 (2010) (a “remedy is not adequate simply because some of the proven

damages are calculable,” and a dollar value “may not easily be assigned” to

business disruption, “loss of clientele,” “office stability,” “marketing techniques,”

and other intangible injuries).29

       B.     Even in pure contract cases, findings of inadequate remedy will
              be upheld where, as here, some evidence supports it.

       Even in cases where the claims are limited to breach of contract (unlike the

instant case, where district court found likelihood of success on multiple theories),

courts defer to the trial court’s determination that damages will not fully

 29
    See also Hartwell’s Office World, Inc. v. Systex Corp., 598 S.W.2d 636, 639 (Tex. Civ. App.
– Houston [14th Dist.] 1980, writ ref’d n.r.e.) (“mere reimbursement of profits would not afford
complete, final and equal relief because appellees would still be able to compete in the area in
violation of the express agreement not to compete,” finding denial of temporary injunction an
abuse of discretion); Salas v. Chris Christensen Sys., Inc., 2011 WL 4089999 *8 (Tex. App. –
Waco Sept. 14, 2011, no pet.) (potential damages caused by “actions of appropriating and

                                              50
compensate the claimant or would be difficult to measure.

       For example, this Court in Universal noted that the only wrongful conduct

alleged in that case was “breach of contract,” but nevertheless upheld the trial

court’s conclusion that damages would be difficult to calculate and damages might

not afford complete relief. 24 S.W.3d at 577-78 & n. 5. Similarly, in Walling v.

Metcalfe, 863 S.W.2d 56 (Tex. 1993), the Texas Supreme Court reinstated a

temporary injunction – despite the fact that the applicant’s only cause of action

was for breach of contract and did not ask for permanent injunctive relief. The

Court rejected the court of appeals’ conclusion that a “cause of action for money

damages alone” was not sufficient to support an injunction, adding, “Simply

because the applicant for a temporary injunction asks only for damages as ultimate

relief does not guarantee that damages are completely adequate as a remedy.” 863
S.W.2d at 57-58.

       C.     Injunctive relief is consistent with Ameripro’s claim for damages
              for Appellants’ past conduct.

       Ameripro’s request for damages based on Appellants’ past violations is

consistent with the district court’s findings of imminent irreparable harm and

inadequate legal remedies if Appellants were not enjoined.

implementing” confidential information for the “benefit of…competitors in the future arguably
are not complete and cannot be easily calculated; therefore, a legal remedy is inadequate”).

                                             51
      In Topheavy, the appellant argued that “any potential harm … has already

occurred,” because 80,000 games with appellee’s likeness were already in

circulation. 2005 WL 1940159 *6. This Court noted that the appellee was “also

seeking damages,” but explained that “the mere fact that Doe has already been

injured does not necessarily mean that further distribution of the game would not

exacerbate the preexisting injury or create new injuries altogether,” nor would the

injury be any more ascertainable with a sufficient degree of certainty.          An

injunction to prevent “additional irreparable injury” was not an abuse of

discretion. Id. So it is the case here.

      The decisions Appellants cite are inapposite. In Butnaru v. Ford Motor Co.,

84 S.W.3d 198 (Tex. 2002), the Texas Supreme Court reinstated a temporary

injunction that had been dissolved on appeal, finding that although it was a

contract action, the applicant desired a specific piece of property, and the district

court did not abuse its discretion in finding no adequate legal remedy. 84 S.W.3d

at 211. In Reach Group, LLC v. Angelina Group, 173 S.W.3d 834 (Tex. App. –

Houston [14th Dist.] 2005, no pet.), Cardinal Health Staffing Network, Inc. v.

Bowen, 106 S.W.3d 230 (Tex. App. – Houston [1st Dist.] 2003, no pet.), and W.R.

Grace & Co. v. Henson, 2007 WL 2389547 (Tex. App. – Corpus Christi Aug. 23,

2007, no pet.), the courts addressed whether the trial courts abused their discretion

when they denied a temporary injunction. Unlike the instant case, the applicant in

                                          52
Grace admitted it “knew of no misuse of information” and there was “no evidence

of wrongful acts.” 2007 WL 2389547 *3. The applicant in Reach acknowledged

that damages “were capable of precise measurement,” and that its potential

damages were “also capable of being calculated,” and given those admissions the

court did not abuse its discretion. 173 S.W.3d at 838. The court in Cardinal

observed that it must view evidence in the light “most favorable” to the court’s

decision, not against it; the applicant admitted it “did not know whether [it] had

suffered any economic damages,” and that its sales had “doubled.” 106 S.W.3d at

235-36. None of those decisions support that this Court should substitute its

factual findings for the trial court’s based on this record.

      D.     Appellants’ argument, in addition to being baseless, is outside the
             hearing record and should be disregarded.

      Finally, Appellants improperly purport to rely on pleadings and discovery

served after the Temporary Injunction, which were not part of the hearing record.

App. Br. 46, 54. Ameripro’s request for damages is consistent with the Temporary

Injunction. Nevertheless, Appellants’ arguments outside the record should not be

considered. Branch Banking & Trust Co. v. TCI Luna Ventures, LLC, 2013 WL
1456651 *4 n. 4 (Tex. App. – Dallas Apr. 9, 2013, no pet.) (sale “occurred after”

the temporary injunction and “Accordingly we do not consider TCI Luna’s

arguments that are outside the temporary injunction hearing record.”).

                                          53
VI.   The Temporary Injunction is not overly broad, and instead is narrowly
      tailored to protect against imminent irreparable harm.

      Appellants’ argument that the Temporary Injunction is overly broad is

without merit. It is narrowly tailored to protect against imminent irreparable harm.

      Appellants argue that the injunction covers media in their possession, but

the district court tailored the Temporary Injunction to “media that contains or did

contain Ameripro files or information” — in other words, the information which

the Temporary Injunction found Appellants had attempted to “permanently

destroy” and had “taken from Ameripro’s computer network and premises.” CR

223-24.    In addition to common law protection of Ameripro’s confidential

information, the Individual Appellants contractually agreed that Ameripro is the

sole owner of those records, and that they would not retain any copies of that

information. AX 11, 17-18. They not only retained copies of Ameripro’s records,

however, but gave them to a competitor. (That evidence is cited and quoted in

detail at pp. 7-13 of the Statement of Facts.)

      The district court’s ruling that the original media should be held by

Appellants’ counsel is also reasonable and supported by the evidence. Appellants

engaged in deliberate efforts to conceal which items stored on those media

consisted of Ameripro records. For example, one of Nasserfar’s electronic files

was labeled “Nasserfar personal e-mail,” but consisted instead of Ameripro

                                          54
borrowers’ credit reports and loan applications. 3RR 174-75. As cited above,

Appellants also tried to conceal their thefts of information, and their solicitation

efforts. Leaving aside Appellants’ prior efforts to destroy Ameripro files, they

destroyed Ameripro files stored on the electronic media even after the district

court issued a TRO compelling those files to be returned. Appellants also initially

denied that they possessed any Ameripro confidential records, 2RR 163, despite

their subsequent return of over 20,000 such files after suit was filed, and despite

evidence that Oak Mortgage used that media to analyze the stolen data. Finally,

Appellants made the choice to store the confidential information they stole from

Ameripro on that media. The district court was well within its discretion in

requiring Appellants’ counsel to keep possession of the media as Attorneys’ Eyes

Only.

        The district court also narrowly tailored the injunction to three customers

whom Appellants solicited in breach of contract and fiduciary duties. (The district

court chose to exclude a fourth customer from the injunction. 3RR 209.) Correa

v. Houston Surg. Asst. Serv., Inc., 2013 WL 3958499 *12 (Tex. App. – Houston

[14th Dist.] July 30, 2013, no pet.) (injunction was “specifically tailored to prevent

appellants from usurping the competitive advantage derived from HSAS, Inc.’s

confidential information,” as it was “appropriately limited to specific hospitals”

with whom “the appellants actually worked.”).

                                         55
      Appellants argue that Oak Mortgage should not be restrained because there

“is no contract or fiduciary relationship” between it and Ameripro. However, as

discussed on pp. 35-37 above, Oak Mortgage’s knowing participation in breaches

of fiduciary duty and tortious interference makes it jointly liable.

      Oak Mortgage’s argument that its “officers and employees” should not be

enjoined is also meritless. Rule 683 expressly states injunctions are binding on

parties and “their officers, agents, servants, employees.” Miller, 901 S.W.2d at

600 n. 2 (the “court was also permitted to extend the injunction to the employer’s

other employees,” and the appellants argument that “only two acted

inappropriately lack merit”).     Moreover, it is Oak Mortgage’s officers who

encouraged Nasserfar, Task, and Gosnay to breach their fiduciary duties and

contracts, who analyzed the stolen data, and who suggested how to evade

detection. AX 27, 49, 56-57, 78. The injunction against Oak Mortgage would be

ineffectual if the agents through whom it acts were free to violate the terms.

      Finally, the district court acted within its discretion in preserving the status

quo through trial, instead of providing for the injunction to end on January 16,

2015. The purpose of an injunction is to preserve the status quo pending a trial.

The “status quo” is the “the last, actual, peaceable, noncontested status which

preceded the pending controversy,” before the activities “in violation of its

agreements” began. Frequent Flyer, 281 S.W.3d at 222-23. Appellants are not

                                          56
entitled to a credit on the non-solicitation period for the several months when they

were actively violating it;    those violations began before the fiduciaries left

Ameripro, and continued at least four months afterward. As the court in Sharma

stated:

      “It is well settled that injunctive relief ‘must, of necessity, be full and
      complete so that those who have acted wrongfully and have breached
      their fiduciary relationship, as well as those who willfully and
      knowingly have aided them in doing so, will be effectively denied the
      benefits and profits flowing from the wrongdoing. … Far from being
      an overbroad order that forbids lawful competition, the trial court’s
      order is narrowly tailored to preserve the status quo by protecting the
      secrecy of Vinmar’s trade secrets and remedying the violence to the
      confidential relationship through which the Rew appellants acquired
      those trade secrets.”
231 S.W.3d at 429.

      When the district court entered a temporary injunction to maintain the status

quo, it specifically rejected imposing a January 15 cut-off, noting that Ameripro

can “argue that since they have been not complying” with the provision, “it

shouldn’t run.” 3RR 213-14. Preserving the status quo as it existed before the

violations began was within the district court’s equitable discretion.        Rimkus

Consult. Group, Inc. v. Budinger, 2001 WL 619067 *4 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th

Dist.] June 7, 2001, no pet.) (rejecting argument that “because the original time for

expiration of the covenant not to compete has expired, this court should decline to

enforce it,” noting it would “be inequitable to allow” the pendency of litigation “to

                                         57
deprive [Rimkus] of the benefit of injunctive relief”); Guy Carpenter & Co. v.

Provenzale, 334 F.3d 459, 464 (5th Cir. 2003) (“the district court has the power

under Texas law to craft an injunction that extends beyond the expiration of the

non-solicitation covenant,” and agreeing that courts in equity “may impose

injunctions that last beyond a contract provision’s expiration date”).

      Second, the injunction is not based solely on the non-solicitation clause, but

also on the Individual Appellants’ conduct in soliciting the customers for Oak

Mortgage while they were still fiduciaries, as well as violations of non-use and

confidentiality provisions in taking customer information which do not expire on

January 15. Matrix Network, Inc. v. Ginn, 211 S.W.3d 944, 946-47 (Tex. App. –

Dallas 2007, no pet.) (leaving aside non-solicitation provision, parties used

confidential information to compete unfairly in violation of the non-use and non-

disclosure provisions, and “In such circumstances, we cannot conclude the

expiration of the non-compete clause … renders this matter moot”); Garth, 876
S.W.2d at 548 (by appropriating confidential information, appellant was able to

use it to gain a market advantage, and therefore “injunctive relief beyond the date”

the technology became public was “an appropriate remedy”); Salas, 2011 WL
4089999 at *8 (“Injunctive relief is also proper to prevent a party, which has

appropriated another's trade secrets, from gaining an unfair market advantage.”).

                                     PRAYER

      For the foregoing reasons, Ameripro Funding, Inc. respectfully prays that

this Court affirm the district court’s Temporary Injunction Order, and that

Ameripro have such other and further relief to which it may be justly entitled.

                                Respectfully submitted,

                Plaintiffs / Counter-Defendants,

V.                                                               OF TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS

AMERIPRO FUNDING, INC.,

                Defendant / Counter-Plaintiff.                   345th JUDICIAL DISTRICT

                                    TEMPORARY INJUNCTION ORDER

           Ameripro Funding, Inc.'s ("Ameripro") Application for Temporary Injunction, set forth

in Defendant and Counter-Plaintiff Ameripro Funding, Inc.'s Counterclaim and Sworn

Application for Temporary Injunction and Permanent Injunction, came on for hearing before the

Court on May 26 and May 27, 2015. Based on the pleadings, the evidence submitted, and the

argument of counsel, the Court finds that Ameripro is entitled to entry of a temporary injunction

against Plaintiffs and Counter-Defendants Michael H. Nasserfar ("Nasserfar"), Michael E. Task

("Task"), Tycord R. Gosnay ("Gosnay"), and Oak Mortgage Group, Inc. ("Oak Mortgage") as

set forth below.

          The Court finds that, based upon the evidence, Ameripro has met its burden to establish

that it has a probable right of recovery and likelihood of success on the merits on its claims for

misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, conversion,

breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with contract, and breach of contract, in that

Counter-Defendants Nasserfar, Task, Gosnay, and Oak Mortgage have attempted to permanently

destroy Ameripro documents and files, and have taken from Ameripro's computer network and

premises confidential and proprietary information belonging to Ameripro (including but not

     Ij0111,19111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
                                      DC             BK15168 PG53

limited to Ameripro's pricing information, general ledgers, profit and loss statements, loan

profitability reports, statements of income, customer and referral lists and contact information,

builder preferences or builder contacts or cell phone numbers, pro formas, concession fees,

borrower information, transaction details, templates, loan set-up sheets, e-mails exchanged using

Ameripro servers, correspondence, and other information that had been stored on Ameripro's

computer network or in Ameripro offices) (hereinafter "Ameripro Information").

        The Court further finds, based upon the evidence, that Ameripro has met its burden to

establish that Ameripro will suffer a probable, imminent, and irreparable injury until trial on the

merits, absent entry of a temporary injunction, in that Ameripro has shown that the full extent of

injury to Ameripro if this Order did not issue would be very difficult to ascertain or quantify, a

future award of damages would not fully or adequately compensate Ameripro, Ameripro does

not have a legal remedy that is adequate in lieu of injunctive relief, and even to the extent that a

legal remedy might be available, its redress will be limited and inadequate. The Court further

finds that the balancing of the equities as between Ameripro and Counter-Defendants Nasserfar,

Task, Gosnay, and Oak Mortgage favors the issuance of this temporary injunction, and that this

temporary injunction is necessary to preserve the status quo between the parties pending trial on

the merits.

       IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Counter-Defendants Nasserfar, Task, Gosnay, and

Oak Mortgage, employees of Oak Mortgage, and other entities acting or purporting to act in

participation or concert with them, are commanded forthwith to:

       (i)     within three (3) days of this Order, provide to Roy Rector of R3 Digital Discovery

               (Ameripro's forensic computer expert) forensic images of all original source

               media that contains or did contain Ameripro files or information (including but

                                                 2
                                                                                                       224
                             DC             BK15168 PG54

       not limited to flash drives, disks, USB storage devices, external storage devices,

       hard drives, cell phones, and laptops) (hereinafter collectively the "Media") in the

       possession, custody, or control of Nasserfar, Task, and Gosnay (including in the

       possession, custody, or control of their attorneys and/or Lee Whitfield of Digital

       Discovery), including all bit by bit forensic copies or images, however and

       whenever made, including but not limited to, all such forensic images stored in

       any of the following formats: E01, L01, dd, s01, adl and/or gho. The forensic

       images of the Media may be reviewed and analyzed by Roy Rector, and by

       outside counsel of Ameripro at Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody ("Graves

       Dougherty") as Attorneys' Eyes Only under the Agreed Protective Order, and

       Graves Dougherty may show forensic images to in-house counsel for Ameripro so

       long as the images relate to Ameripro. The Media from which the forensic

       images are made will be preserved and held by Counter-Defendants' attorney,

       Charles Bundren, as Attorneys' Eyes Only under the Agreed Protective Order. If

       the parties' counsel can agree upon which information contained in the Media

       belongs to the respective parties, without Court intervention, then the parties are

       authorized to return the other party's information to it or him. Ameripro will

       provide to Mr. Bundren forensic images of the three laptops that Counter-

       Defendants Nasserfar, Task, and Gosnay returned to Ameripro on January 15-16,

       2015 (it was stated on the record that those forensic images were provided to Mr.

       Blindren on May 28, 2015 at the hearing).

(ii)   desist and refrain from, directly or indirectly, using any of the Ameripro
               P
       Information, including but not limited to any of the Ameripro Information

                                        3
                                                                                              225
                                       DC            BK15168 PG55

                 contained on the Media, and from copying, purging, modifying, or destroying any

                 'Ameripro Information (except to make the forensic images for Roy Rector as set

                 forth above in this Order).

         (iii)   desist and refrain from, directly or indirectly, soliciting business from Brohn

                 Homes, Seaholm Residences, and Clark Wilson Builders.

         IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Ameripro remove any reference to Michael Nasserfar

(e.g., videos, likenesses) from the Ameripro website.

         IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Parties mediate this case no later than sixty (60)

days from the date of this Order. Such mediation shall take place in Austin, Travis County,

Texas and shall be conducted by a licensed attorney agreed upon by the Parties. Costs of the

mediation shall be shared equally by Counter-Defendants and Ameripro.

         IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is set for trial on the merits on February 22,

2016, in the Travis County Courthouse, 1000 Guadalupe Street, Austin, Travis County, Texas

78701.

         In accordance with Rule 684 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, the Clerk shall issue

such temporary injunction order upon Ameripro filing with the Court a bond executed by it and

adequate sureties in the amount of $10,00.00, payable to Counter-Defendants, approved and

conditioned as the law requires and such bond shall remain on file with the Court, as bond for

this Temporary Injunction Order. The Clerk of the Court shall forthwith issue a temporary

injunction in conformity with the law and the terms of this order.

21         On the 26th day of May, 2015, the following proceedings

22   came on to be heard in the above-entitled and numbered cause

23   before the Honorable Gisela D. Triana, Judge presiding, held in

24   Austin, Travis County, Texas;

25         Proceedings reported by machine shorthand.
                                                                     22

 1   have any value to us.

 2                  We'd already began that process. We imaged all

 3   the devices. We'd already searched the devices to try to find

 4   anything that could conceivably be argued by AmeriPro as being

 5   something that they claim is their property, although we

 6   dispute that, and return it. And that's the reason on April

 7   the 27th we returned over 20,000 -- I think it's over 20,000

 8   electronic files to them which they didn't even look at in

 9   their forensic expert's deposition.

10                  After your order, we'd already imaged the --

11   imaged the drives. We began searching for and developing

12   search criteria to find the electronic files. We copied, moved

13   those electronic files by image from the devices over to a

14   drive. So they were all returned, and I overnighted that to

15   Ms. Burton on -- on May the 14th, two days after the order was

16   entered. Then I received a letter complaining saying, "Oh, it

17   doesn't have the metadata in it." Well, it does have the

18   metadata in it, and metadata would identify that Mr. Nasserfar

19   was the author. It would identify the date Mr. Nasserfar

20   created a lot of those documents. It would also identify dates

21   that they were revised. So we went back and we made another

22   disc, and I sent that on May 19th, overnighted it again. So

23   all of the electronic files that they had any concept of any

24   argument at all that belonged to them, anything we could find

25   that conceivably be something they would argue about, it's all
                                                                          41

 6             We're a residential mortgage lender, but we also

 7   operate as a mortgage banker   which is a coined phrase in the

 8   industry, meaning that we both go out and originate loans for

 9   customers and clients, we process the loans, we underwrite the

10   loans, we close and fund them many times in our own name and in

11   some cases we service the loans also.

                                                                      45

          A.     Yes, ma'am

          Q.     What about Mr. Task?

 4        A.     Yes, same.

 5        Q.     And Mr. Gosnay?

 6        A.     Same.

 7        Q.     So did you have general knowledge of what they for --

20   department, same branch.

21        Q.     And were there any other employees at that branch?

22        A.     Those were the only three employees at that location.

23        Q.     And is that -- where was that location?

24 A. In the Hill Country Galleria.

25        Q.     And is that location still open and functioning as a
                                                                       46

 1   branch office of AmeriPro?

 2           A.   No, it is not.

 3           Q.   And why -- why not?

 4           A.   There is no business coming from that branch so

 5   currently it is empty.

 6           Q.   And when did that business go away?

 7 A. Immediately after they resigned, end of January.

 8           Q.   So all clients, customers of that branch went

10                     MR. BUNDREN: Objection, leading.

11           Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) Where did the business go that was

12   coming to the Lakeway branch when Mr. Nasserfar, Mr, Task, and

13   Mr. Gosnay were there?

14           A.   Any business that was in the pipeline we transferred

15   to the corporate office at AmeriPro and we -- they -- our

16   business -- or new incoming business, I'm sorry, were -- weened

17   off or slowed down very dramatically after that period of time.

18           Q.   Any plans to reopen the AmeriPro branch office there

19   in Lakeway?

20           A.   No, there is not.

21           Q.   And why was that branch -- when was that branch

22   established?

23           A.   The branch was established around the beginning of

24   2014.

25           Q.   And why -- why did as you as president of Ameripo
                                                                     47

 1   of AmeriPro decide to open that branch in Lakeway?

 2        A.   Mr. Nasserfar had worked for the company out of the

 3   corporate office for a couple years, had expressed a -- a

 4   willingness and wanted to become a branch manager and looked at

 5   that location specifically due to the future growth opportunity

 6   off the 71 corridor and 620 corridor, and it was close to where

 7   he currently resides and thought it would be a great business

 8   opportunity so he approached me specifically about opening a

 9   branch out there.

10        Q.   And what was your response or your reaction?

11 A. I thought that the business opportunity made sense,

12   it's a big growth corridor for the general Austin area, and we

13   wanted to support Michael in his professional growth.

14        Q.   And describe what type of time or effort AmeriPro put

15   into opening that branch.

16        A.   The lease negotiations took several months. During

17   that time we put Mr. Nasserfar and Mr. Task in an executive

18   suite in that same general vicinity and the lease negotiations

19   were finalized and I believe the office -- that -- the new

20   permanent office opened in August of 2014, so I would say from

21   beginning to end the better part of 10 months to 12 months.

22        Q.   It was 10 months to 12 months to get that branch

23   office opened in Lakeway?

24        A.   From the beginning of contract negotiation to when

25   the new permanent location opened, yes.
                                                                     48

 1        Q.   What other efforts did AmeriPro have to undergo to

 2   open that branch office?

 3        A.   We had to invest a tremendous amount of money in

 4   building out the branch office for tenant improvements. We had

 5   furnitures, fixtures, equipment, licensing requirements,

 6   everything that is required to get a new location started.

 7        Q.   And how involved was -- was Mr. Nasserfar with those

 8   activities?

 9        A.   He was involved as necessary for his position. We

10   wanted him to remain focused on originating new loans. So

11   he -- we kept him informed of what was going on during the

12   process. He was informed of -- he was a part of the floor-plan

13   decision, some of the furniture that we purchased or decided to

14   reuse from a different office. So he was involved in the space

15   and it's creation.

16        Q.   Was there -- would you    was there a general

17   business plan for that branch or a model that -- you've talked

18   about a little bit about why it was open, but was there some

19   sort of plan or strategic goal?

20        A.   Yeah. So Michael and his team had a significant

21   amount of origination business that was a great stepping-off

22   point to open up a location. We believed in the general

23   geography around that office, that it would continue to allow

24   them to grow. The plan was for him to go and recruit and add

25   new originators to that location and to continue to grow as a
                                                                    49

     business from a -- a personal referral perspective and a

     builder perspective.

 3        Q.   And he was going to -- going to be and became the

 4   branch manager, correct?

 5        A.   Correct.

 6        Q.   And was he always an AmeriPro employee? Regardless

 7   of being a branch manager at a separate branch, was he an

 8   Ameripo    AmeriPro employee?

 9        A.   Yes.

10        Q.   Did that     did that ever change?

11        A.   No.

12        Q.   What was the primary source -- what turned out to be

13   the primary source of business for that branch?

14        A.   The primary source of business for that branch was

15   builder loans or -- they solicited builders and developers

16   for -- to use them for their clients.

17        Q.   And so it opened in August of 2014, correct?

18        A.   Yes, the new -- the permanent location did, yes.

19        Q.   And then Mr. Nasserfar and Task and Gosnay left in

20   January 2015; is that right?

21        A.   Correct.

22        Q.   Was that branch -- was it successful? Was it looking

23   like it was going to be successful?

24        A.   We thought for the first year of opening a new

25   location that it was doing well for its first year opening.
                                                                       50

 1   It's a -- it's a big -- it's a big effort to open a new

 2   location.    It's a big financial investment from a long-term

 3 perspective and a short-term perspective, and we felt like it

 4 was going -- doing well in 2014 especially considering where

 5 the industry had gone.

 6        Q.     Do you know what the term "preferred lender" means?

 7        A.     Yes.

 8        Q.     And was -- what does that mean in general?

 9 A. In general, builders or other corporate customers

10 will have strategic partnerships with lenders and they will be

11 called "preferred lenders" because of the level of trust and

12 their operating system and how they do business.

13        Q.     And was AmeriPro, specifically the -- Mr.

14 Nasserfar's -- the branch Mr. Nasserfar ran, was that a

15 preferred lender for any builders?

16        A.     Yes, it was.

17        Q.     Which builders?

18        A.     Centerra Homes, Brohn Homes, Seaholm Condominium

19 project, and I can't remember specifically, but there were

20 others in the past, too.

21        Q.     And again, the first -- is that a relationship that

22 AmeriPro fostered, the -- the preferred lender relationship?

23        A.     Yes.

24        Q.     And in what way?

25        A.     We met with the owners or operators of those
                                                                      51

 1 companies. Typically, we built a communication platform and a

 2 process around that. Michael was involved in that. It was a

 3 partnership for all parties that were involved, which would

 4 include Michael and his team and the corporate office and the

 5 operations team, to make those relationships successful.

 6       Q.     When you say "Michael," are you talking about Michael

 7 Nasserfar?

 8 A. I'm sorry. Michael Nasserfar and Michael Task.

 9       Q.     And Michael Task?

10       A.   Yes.

11       Q.     Is AmeriPro still a preferred lender for any of those

12 builders that you mentioned?

13       A.     We are still on -- a preferred lender on the Web site

14 with Seaholm, I believe, but not for Brohn Homes or Centerra.

15       Q.     And is Oak Mortgage, to your knowledge, a preferred

16 lender for Seaholm?

17       A.     To my understanding they are now.

18       Q.     And what about -- is Oak Mortgage a preferred lender

19 for Centerra?

20       A.     To my knowledge, they are, yes.

21       Q.     And are they a preferred lender for Brohn?

22       A.     To my knowledge, they are, yes.

23       Q.     And prior to Mr. Nasserfar -- I'm going to call them

24 the Nasserfar team, If I say that you'll understand that's

25 Mr. Task, Mr. Gosnay, Mr. Nasserfar?
                                                                   52

 1       A.   Yes.

 2       Q.   Prior to the Nasserfar team -- prior to the Nasserfar

 3 team leaving, was Oak Mortgage a preferred lender for any of

 4 those entities you named?

 5       A.   Not to my knowledge.

 6       Q.   Okay. Turn your attention to the resignation of the

 7 Nasserfar team and events that followed. So can you just

 8 describe to the Court, how did you find out that the Nasserfar

 9 team had resigned or was resigning?

10 A. I was in the HR office on January 15th and got

11 notified that Mr. Gosnay -- we had received a package from

12 Mr. Gosnay that contained his computer, his key, and a letter.

13 Tnen correspondingly, the HR office reached out, I believe, to

14 both Mr. Nasserfar and/or Mr. Task and so did their immediate

15 supervisor, Larry Crisp.

16       Q.   Okay. Would you look at Exhibit, in your notebook

17 there, 2, 3, and 4. Are those the resignation letters of

18 Mr. Nasserfar, Task, and Gosnay?

19       A.   You said 2, 3 and 4?

20       Q.   Yes.

21       A.   Yes, they are.

22       Q.   And let's start with Mr. Gosnay. What date is on his

23 letter, which is Exhibit 4?

24       A.   January 15th.

25       Q.   And Mr. Task, what date did he resign?
                                                                        53

 1        A.    January 16th.

 2        Q.    What date did Mr. Nasserfar resign?

 3        A.    January 16th.

 4        Q.    Did you personally reach out to any of those

 5   individuals?

 6 A. I called Mr. Nasserfar on the evening of the 15th.

 7        Q.    And what -- did you get to talk to him or...

 8        A     I left a voice mall.     I also sent him a text right

 9   after that phone call. I have not spoken to Mr. Nasserfar.

10        Q.    To your knowledge, did Mr. Nasserfar call anyone else

11   back from AmeriPro?

12        A.    Not that I'm aware of.

13        Q.    How about Mr. Task or Mr. Gosnay?

14        A.    Not that I am aware of.

15        Q.    And why were you calling Mr. Nasserfar on the 15th of

16   January?

17        A.    Because as of the evening of the 15th, his direct

18   supervisor, Mr. Crisp, had not heard back from Mr. Task or

19   Mr. Nasserfar and the HR department had not heard back from

20   either of them.

21        Q.    So you

22        A.    And we were wondering what was going on on the

23   evening of the 15th.

24        Q.    Did you have any prior notice that the three of them

25   were resigning and leaving that branch office?
                                                                        54

 1           A.   No.

 2           Q.   You see in those letters, Exhibits 2, 3, and 4, they

 3   state they're returning certain things, correct?

 4 A. In 2 and 3 -- in 2 and 3. 4 does not --

 5           Q.   That's right. Mr. Gosnay --

 6        A.      -- specifically say anything.

 7        Q.      Sorry. But 2 -- Exhibit 2 and 3 Mr. Nasserfar and

 8   Mr. Task listed certain items that they are returning, correct?

 9        A.      Yes.

10        Q.      Are you aware that -- and that list just -- just to

11   summarize, basically it's their laptop and their keys and their

12   card -- access cards, that kind of thing?

13        A.      Yes.

14        Q.      Did they return anything else other than the items

15   stated in those letters, Exhibit 2 and 3?

16        A.      Not that I am aware of.

17        Q.      Are you aware of them ever returning any hard copies,

18   any paper copies of anything at the time of their resignation?

19        A.      No.

20        Q.      Did they ever return any property or any information

21   prior to -- prior to AmeriPro filing the counterclaims against

22   them?

23        A.      No.

24        Q.      Okay. At the time they resigned, were there loans

25   that they were all working on?
                                                                      55

          A.   Yes.

          Q.   Were -- were each of these persons, Nasserfar, Task,

     and Gosnay, loan originators?

          A.   At the time I believe so, yes.

 5        Q.   And would that mean that they all had loans they were

 6   responsible for to work and to make sure got processed?

 7        A.   Yes.

 8        Q.   So when they left there were loans that were in

 9   existence that were still being processed?

10        A.   Yes.

11        Q.   Did they make any effort to transition those loans or

12   make sure they were taken care of?

13        A.   Not that I'm aware of.

14        Q.   What -- how did this affect those loans in process?

15   What did AmeriPro have to do after the resignation?

16        A.   We tried to take the -- what we believe was the

17   existing pipelines of loans in process, put it with loan

18   originators at our corporate office, and reach out and contact

19   those customers, more specifically the       starting with the

20   ones that had closing dates that were the soonest and working

21   our way back.

22        Q.   Describe what effect that had on the business of

23   AmeriPro. What -- what effect did those resignations have?

24        A.   We -- that -- because we did not have any assistance

25   in the transition, the transition was difficult. You know,
                                                                    56

 1 trying to communicate with borrowers that amount of changeover

 2 in shift is always a -- a difficult time and our customer

 3 service level during that transition was not what I desired it

 4 to be because of that.

 5       Q.   Let me -- we're going to talk now about the

 6 various -- in a minute we're going to talk about the various

 7 employment agreements that these individuals signed at

 8 AmeriPro, but before we do that, I'm going to ask you after

 9 they resigned, after the Nasserfar team resigned, did AmeriPro

10 take any action to try to remind them of their obligations?

11       A.   Yes, I believe legal sent out a letter that reminded

12 them of their contractual obligations.

13       Q.   And would you look at Exhibit 6 and 7.

14 A. 6 and 7?

15       Q.   Yes.

16       A.   Okay.

17      Q.    Do you recognize Exhibit 6?

18 A. It's a letter to Mr. Holden Thomas.

19       Q.   Actually, let me start -- I'm sorry. Go back to

20 Exhibit 5. Do you recognize Exhibit 5?

21       A.   Yes. That's a letter to Mr. Nasserfar.

22       Q.   Who's it from?

23       A.   All Hedayatifar, general counsel, General Holdings.

24       Q.   And what's the date?

25       A.   January 19th.
                                                                      60

 1   regarding our legal rights.

 2                    MS. BURTON: Ask that Exhibit 6 be admitted.

 3                    MR. BUNDREN:   No objection.

 4                    THE COURT: 6 will be admitted.

 5        Q.     (BY MS. BURTON) So this -- as of January 20th, did

 6   you know whether or not the Nasserfar team was working for Oak

 7   Mortgage?

 8 A. I believe that's the day I found out, yes.

 9        Q.     And how did you find out?

10 A. I believe one of my employees came and told me that's

11   where they had gone.

12        Q.     And prior to the Nasserfar team -- Nasserfar team

13   working or Oak -- prior to the Nasserfar team going to Oak

14   Mortgage, did Oak Mortgage have an Austin -- Austin office that

15   you were aware of?

16 A. I was not aware of an Austin office that they had.

17        Q.     And is Oak Mortgage a competitor of AmeriPro?

18        A.     Yes, it is.

19        Q.     And are they in the same business?

20        A.     Yes, they are.

21        Q.     What did you find out about the presence of an Oak

22   Mortgage office in Austin after January 20th, 2015?

23 A. I found out that Michael -- the Nasserfar team or the

24   team as described earlier had moved to Oak Mortgage and that

25   they were starting a branch location out in the same general
 1   vicinity where our location was.

 2        Q.   And did you find out where that actual office was?

 3        A.   Later I did, yes.

 4        Q.   Where?

 5 A. I believe at that point in time it was in the

 6   executive suites in the same complex as our office.

 7        Q    So same complex as the AmeriPro Lakeway office?

 8        A.   Correct, yes.

 9        Q.   And how far away, do you have any idea?

10 A. I'd say it's probably a three-minute walk,      It's in

11   the same general Hill Country Galleria shopping area.

12        Q.   Were you surprised about this -- these turn of

13   events?

14        A.   Yes, I was.

15        Q.   Why?

16 A. I thought that we were moving successfully into the

17   new year. We were looking forward to a great 2015. I did not

18   know that Michael and his team had a plan to leave the company.

19        Q.   Did Mr. Nasserfar, Mr. Task, and Mr. Gosnay sign

20   various employment agreements while they -- while they worked

21   at AmeriPro?

22        A.   Yes, they did.

23                    MS. BURTON: And, Your Honor, these are

24   employment agreements that I'm going to go through hopefully

25   relatively quickly that we did attach to the bench brief.
                                                                       63

 1   ask for admission of Exhibit 8.

 2                     (Applicant's Exhibit Number 8 offered.)

 3                     THE COURT: Any objection?

 4                     MR. BUNDREN: Which exhibit?

 5                     THE COURT: 8.

 6                     MS. BURTON: It was not. That's why I am asking

 7   for it to be admitted.

 8                     MR. BUNDREN: Oh, okay.      I don't see any

 9   objection for this purpose.

10                     THE COURT: 8 will be admitted.

11        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) Mr. Overhauser, when did

12   Mr. Nasserfar start working for AmeriPro, what year?

13 A. I believe it was 2011 or 2012.    I would need to refer

14   to the agreements to be specific.

15        Q.      Go ahead.

16        A. Oh. 2011.

17        Q.   So is it your understanding that as a condition of

18   receiving access to AmeriPro's confidential information that

19   Mr. Nasserfar had to sign that proprietary information

20   agreement?

21                     MR. BUNDREN: Objection, leading.

22        A.   Yes.

23        Q.      (BY MS. BURTON) And if you look at those employment

24   agreements you referenced which -- why was he signing different

25   employment agreements?
                                                                     66

 1       Q.    No discussion about that at all?

2        A.    Nope.

 3       Q.    Is it your testimony that AmeriPro does have

4 confidential information?

5        A.    Yes, it is.

6        Q.    Describe what that is.

 7 A. It would be our leads, prospects, loans in process,

8 profit and loss, general ledger accounts, our vendors. It can

9 contain forms and documents, processes. It contains the

10 entirety of what we use to operate our business on a daily

11 financial basis.

12      Q.     Do you have any particular databases, AmeriPro --

13 does AmeriPro have databases in which it keeps confidential

14 information?

15       A.    Yes. We have our operating system which contains all

16 of our borrower information, which would be confidential. We

17 have our accounting system which contains all of our accounting

18 data, vendors, payees, payors, et cetera. That would be

19 confidential information.

20       Q.    How are -- how are those databases protected by

21 AmeriPro?

22       A.    Every office location has a secure access physically

23 and we've got -- you have to sign on to a network. Then you

24 have another sign-on authentication into those respective

25 systems.
                                                                    67

          Q.   And was -- did Mr. Nasserfar have access to the --

 2   what are the names of the databases?

 3        A.   Encompass is our operating system and Accounting for

 4   Mortgage Bankers or AMB is our accounting system.

 5        Q.   Did Mr. Nasserfar have access to Encompass?

 6        A.   Yes, he did.

 7        Q.   Did he have access to AMB?

 8        A.   Yes, he did.

 9        Q.   Did Mr. Task have access to Encompass?

10        A.   Yes.

11        Q.   What about AMB?

12        A.   Not to my knowledge.

13        Q.   Who has access to AMB?

14        A.   Typically accounting -- our accounting system outside

15   of corporate accounting department would be your executive

16   level, so, for instance, myself, the head of sales, and then

17   the branch manager at every branch location has access to

18   accounting department

19        Q.   And as a branch manager, they have access to -- to

20   what, just their branch?

21        A.   They have access to all of the transactions for their

22   cost center or their branch, yes.

23        Q.   Did -- does the Encompass database also contain

24   borrower information?

25 A. It does, yes.
                                                                        68

 1        Q.      And how is that protected? Is that protected -- I'm

 2   sorry. How is that protected?

 3 A. In the same manner. You have -- the physical

 4   location has security. You have to sign on to the network and

 5   then you have a separate username and password sign-on into

 6   Encompass.

 7        Q.      Let's turn back to the employment agreement for

 8   Mr. Nasserfar, Exhibit 11.      Does it also contain a

 9   nonsolicitation provision?

10        A.      Yes, it does.

11        Q.      And that would be a nonsolicitation -- if you want to

12   look at it, it's paragraph 5.

13        A.      5(e), I believe.

14        Q.      And who does it prohibit solicitation of?

15        A.      Customer, and 5(e)i, "customer, payor, or supplier,

16   and then in 5(e)iii, "any Employee or consultant of the

17   Company."

18        Q.      And sticking with the nonsolicitive customer, how

19   does -- as president of AmeriPro, how do you -- how does

20   AmeriPro define "customer"?

21        A.      Customer is anyone that does business with the

22   company, the consumer themselves or anybody who's in a position

23   to refer a potential customer.

24        Q.      And who would be included in the referral sources?

25        A.      Real estate agents, builders, CPAs, certified
                                                                       69

     financial planners, anybody that's in the industry that has an

     ability to refer business.

 3        Q.   And what -- is there anything that AmeriPro considers

 4   confidential when it comes to referral sources?

 5 A. I'm sorry. Can you clarify?

 6        Q.   What kind of confidential information does AmeriPro

 7   keep or maintain about referral sources?

 8        A.   Oh.    So you typically -- specifically as it relates

 9   to builders we keep a -- we have a process by which we handle

10   their business and in some cases we have incentives for the

11   clients, the consumers themselves.

12        Q.   Explain that. What do you mean by "incentives"?

13        A.   We will give a customer, i.e., what I mean by that is

14   the end user who is securing a mortgage from us, a -- a lender

15   credit or a financial benefit for the transaction.

16        Q.   And how is that confidential?

17        A.   Because it's something that we've agreed to do

18   specifically for the referrals that come from a particular

19   source.

20        Q.   So, for instance, you might have a particular deal

21   with Centerra Homes --

22        A.   Uh-huh.

23        Q.   -- and a different deal --

24        A.   Yes.

25        Q.   -- with Brohn Homes; is that correct?
                                                                      70

 1       A.     Correct.

 2       Q.     And are you       what do you -- you try to maintain the

 3 Centerra information confidential and not disclose it to other

 4 realtors?

 5       A.     Typically, yes.

 6       Q.     And you think -- is that something that you believe

 7 is standard in the industry?

 8       A.    Yes.

 9       Q.     Not -- I mean, the confidentiality is not -- it's not

10 just AmeriPro, other mortgage companies would want that also?

11       A.    Correct.

12      Q.      What other type of information does AmeriPro compile

13 as far as its relationships with referral sources that's

14 considered confidential? Do you have relationships with title

15 companies?

16       A.     We do.

17       Q.    And what -- what's the --

18 A. It would be considered, I would think, a customer

19 list. So on every transaction the originator is required to

20 put in the referral source so that we understand where our

21 business is coming from so that we can properly manage that

22 business today and in the future.

23       Q.     Is that information about referral sources -- would

24 that be valuable to a competitor?

25       A.    Yes, it would be.
 1        Q.     Why?

 2        A.     Because they would know exactly who we had received

 3   business from, the amount of business, the type of business

 4   that we had been receiving from them.

 5        Q.     And is that information AmeriPro maintains somewhere?

 6        A.     Yes, it's maintained in our operating system.

 7        Q.     And that's Encompass?

 8        A      In Encompass, yes.

 9        Q.     Which is protected and secure?

10        A.     Correct.

11        Q.     And if you look back at Exhibit 11, the provision --

12   is there a provision in there regarding ownership of leads and

13   loans in process?

14        A.     Yes, in 5(f).

15        Q.     And what does that say?

16 A. It says, "The Employee acknowledges that all leads

17   and loans and process are company's property. Employee agrees

18   to provide upon termination a written account of any and all

19   open leads, business prospects and/or loans in process as of

20   the date of his or her termination and agrees not to take any

21   action to divert such loans to a competitor or away from the

22   Company."

23        Q.     Did Mr. Nasserfar comply with that provision?

24        A.     No, he did not.

25        Q.     And Mr. Task?
                                                                       75

 1        Q.     Well, to your knowledge, has he ever requested that

 2   from you?

 3        A.     No.

 4        Q.     Or anyone else at AmeriPro that you know of?

 5        A.     Not to my knowledge, no.

 6        Q.     Was his employment in good standing at the time he

 7   left AmeriPro?

 8        A.     No, it was not.

 9        Q.     Why not?

10        A.     Because he did not per his agreement turn over a list

11   of leads or prospects or loans in process and he did not assist

12   in helping them close, which I believe is defined in section

13   5(e) also or section 5(f) more specifically.

14        Q.     And I'll say one more thing on the employment

15   agreement, Exhibit 11.    Is it -- what does -- what does it say

16   about returning AmeriPro's confidential information?

17        A.     Sorry. I need to read it. Are you referring to --

18        Q.     Section 5.

19        A.     -- 5(f) specifically or 5(h) that says, "The Employee

20   agrees upon the termination of his employment that he or she

21   will immediately refrain from and discontinue making any

22   representation of his employment with the Company"?

23        Q.     I'm asking you about what is -- what was

24   Mr. Nasserfar's obligation about returning confidential

25   information?
                                                                      76

 1        A.   He needed to return it immediately.

 2        Q.   And did -- did he do so?

 3        A.   No.

 4        Q.   And then we've talked about Mr. Nasserfar's

 5   employment agreements.   If you'll look at 13, 14, 15, 16, and

 6   17, those are all Mr. Task's employment agreements.

 7                    MS. BURTON: They're all -- they're all already

 8   admitted, correct?

 9                    THE COURT:   (Nods head affirmatively.)

10        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) So those are all Mr. Task's

11   employment agreements, correct, Mr. Overhauser?

12        A.   Yes.

13        Q.   And would those contain the same or similar

14   provisions as Mr. Nasserfar that we discussed earlier?

15        A.   Yes, they would.

16        Q.   What was Mr. Task's last position at AmeriPro before

17   he resigned? I think that's 17.

18        A.   Sales manager.

19        Q.   At the AmeriPro Lakeway office?

20        A.   Correct.

21        Q.   And like Mr. Nasserfar, was he -- did he sign a new

22   employment agreement every time he got a new position?

23        A.   Yes.

24        Q.   And if you look at Exhibit 14, can you identify that,

25   please?
                                                                     77

          A.   Exhibit 14 is a proprietary information agreement.

 2        Q.   And was it signed by Mr. Task?

          A.   Yes, it was.

 4        Q.   And what's the date on that?

 5        A.   March 11, 2011.

 6        Q.   And like Mr. Nasserfar, would he be required to sign

 7   that before he was given access to confidential information?

 8        A.   Yes.

 9        Q.   And was that one -- one of the many ways AmeriPro

10   tried to protect its confidential information?

11        A.   Yes.

12        Q.   Are you aware of Mr. Task returning any documents,

13   either paper or electronic, after he resigned and before this

14   litigation?

15        A.   No.

16        Q.   If you look at 18 and 19, which have also been

17   admitted, just -- are those Mr. Gosnay's employment agreements?

18        A.   Yes.

19        Q.   And was he -- what was Mr. Gosnay's title?

20        A.   Loan officer.

21        Q.   And when was he first employed?

22        A.   May of 2014, it appears.

23        Q.   And then if you'll look at Exhibit 20, can you

24   identify that?

25        A.   Confidential information and company property.
                                                                         78

            Q.     And was that signed by Mr. Gosnay?

 2          A.     Yes, it was.

 3          Q.     Does that document contain a definition of

 4   "confidential information"?

 5          A.     Yes, it does.

 6          Q.     And does it also require Mr. Gosnay to return that

 7   information upon termination?

 8          A.     Yes, it does.

 9          Q.     And what does it say about whether he can keep any

10   copies?

11 A. It says you cannot retain any copies.

12          Q.     And you    are you aware of Mr. Gosnay returning

13   anything at the time he resigned, any paper documents,

14   electronic files, anything like that?

15          A.     No, I am not.

16          Q.     We talked earlier about the provision regarding

17   them        the employees who leave providing AmeriPro with a list

18   of loans in process. Do you recall that?

19          A.    Yes.

20          Q.     What's the reason -- why does AmeriPro require that

21   in their agreements?

22          A.     One of the reasons that we require it is to make a

23   smooth transition for the current customers in the company's

24   pipeline.

25          Q.     Isn't it true that some of that -- that the
                                                                        79

    1   information would be in AmeriPro's computer database?

    2 A. If a loan -- if the customer had made application

    3   with the company, it would be in the company's operating

    4   system, yes.

    5        Q.   So what would AmeriPro need in order to have a smooth

    6   transition?

    7        A.   We would need not only the information that is

    8   contained in the operating system but any conversations that

    9   may have happened with that customer that would not be

10      contained in the operating system.

11           Q.   So who would have knowledge of that?

12           A    The loan officer of -- that is on that particular

13      file, the salesperson.

1   4        Q.   And did you get -- get any of that information from

15      the Nasserfar team, anything about conversations?

             A.   No.

17           Q.   Did you get anything about the loans in process?

18           A.   Not to my knowledge.

19           Q.   Are you aware that Mr. Nasserfar and Mr. Task and

20      Mr. Gosnay claim they're owed commission under that section,

21      section 5(g)?

22 A. I am aware of that, yes.

23           Q.   And why hasn't AmeriPro paid them their commissions?

24           A.   Because they did not leave in good standing.

25           Q.   And is that -- that what the agreement says, that
                                                                      80

 1   they have to be in good standing?

 2        A.    Correct.

 3        Q.    And why weren't they in good standing?

 4        A.    Because they did not turn over a list of leads ,

 5   prospects, loans in process, or assist in the closing of those

 6   loans.

 7        Q.    In this litigation you're aware AmeriPro's made

 8   certain claims against Oak Mortgage and the Nasserfar team,

 9   correct?

10        A.    Yes.

11        Q.    What is basically the basis of the claims against Oak

12   and those individuals?

13        A.    The basis of the claim is that our information       our

14   confidential information was stolen. It was taken from us and

15   used to compete directly against us in a new location in -- in

16   the direct vicinity of our existing Lakeway office.

17        Q.    What type of information have you learned that

18   Nasserfar and -- the Nasserfar team took and

19        A.    To date --

20        Q.    Yes.

21        A.    -- I'm aware of, again, profit and loss statements

22   for the branch location, detailed general ledger accounts for

23   the branch location, funded list -- funded loan reports which

24   contain the revenue and expenses associated to the loans

25   alongside of other confidential information, a copy of the
                                                                       81

 1   company's master lease for the Lakeway location, a copy of the

 2   benefits division employee paid/company paid for health

 3   insurance and dental and life insurance benefits that the

 4   company has, and then more specifically, a general list of all

 5   the loans closed by the branch and what type of loan they were.

 6        Q.     And how have you learned that that information was

 7   taken?

 8        A.     Through the process of discovery.

 9        Q.     And would that type of information give a competitor

10   a competitive advantage?

11        A.     Yes, it would.

12        Q.     And why?

13        A.     Because in the establishment of a new location they

14   would know exactly how much volume would be coming. They'd

15   know how many loans are coming. They'd know what type of

16   loans. They'd know what the average revenue to expect on a

17   loan was, what the average expenses for a loan are and they'd

18   know the expenses of the branch, i.e., telecom, copier. They

19   would just know exactly what does it take to run the branch and

20   have an expectation of how much revenue and volume is coming

21   into the branch. They'd have a head start in starting a new

22   location.

23        Q.     Is that information that you had ever authorized

24   Mr. Nasserfar or Mr. Task or Mr. Gosnay to give to anyone

25   outside of AmeriPro?
                                                                   82

 1        A.   No, it's not.

 2        Q.   Okay. We've talked a little bit about the steps

 3   Americo take -- AmeriPro takes to protect its confidential

 4   information and you just talked about the -- the databases

 5   being password protected. What else does AmeriPro do?

 6        A.   So we have -- again, physical locations are secured.

 7   We have a sign-on process to get into the domain or the -- the

 8   company's computer system, and then you have another

 9   authentication process, username and password, to get into both

10   the loan origination system, Encompass and into the accounting

11   system, the Accounting for Mortgage Bankers or AMB.

12        Q.   Do you have an employee handbook?

13        A.   Yes, we do.

14        Q.   Look at Exhibit 21, Is that a correct copy      a

15   current copy of the AmeriPro employee handbook?

16 A. It appears so, yes.

17        Q.   What's the date on it? If there is a date.

18        A.   There's no date on this.

19        Q.   If you look at the bottom of the page -- look

20   right -- it says, "Revised."

21 A. It says -- where is it? "Revised February" -- sorry.

22   It was on the next page.    "Revised February 1, 2014."

23        Q.   Okay. Does this handbook contain a policy on

24   confidential information?

25 A. I believe it does, yes.
                                                                    83

 1        Q.   Page 56?

 2        A.   Of Exhibit 21?

 3        Q.   Yes.

 4 A. I'm sorry. You're referring to the actual page or

 5 the marker on the bottom right-hand corner?

 6        Q.   The actual page.

 7        A.   Okay.

 8        Q.   What is -- what's the policy called?

 9        A.   Confidential information and company property.

10        Q.   Does that contain a definition of "confidential

11   information"?

12        A.   Yes, it does.

13        Q.   Would that, based on your understanding, be generally

14 accurate?

15        A.   Generally, yes, it would be.

16        Q.   And is it your understanding that Mr. Task and

17 Mr. Nasserfar and Mr. Gosnay all received a copy of this

18 handbook?

19        A.   Yes.

20        Q.   If you'll look at -- I think 21 is the handbook.

21 Look at Exhibit 22.

22                     MS. BURTON: Mr. Bundren, can we stipulate they

23 received a copy of the handbook, Exhibits 22 and 23 and 24?

24                     MR. BUNDREN: 21 was already produced.

25                     MS. BURTON: Yeah. 22 and 23.
                                                                             84

 1                        MR. BUNDREN: For purposes of this hearing, I

 2   don't have any objection.

 3                        THE COURT: Okay.

 4                        (Applicant's Exhibit Numbers 22, 23 offered.)

 5                        MS. BURTON: Move for admission of AmeriPro

 6   Exhibits 22 and 23.

 7                        THE COURT: 22 and 23 will be admitted.

 8        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) All right.         Mr. Overhauser, if

 9   you'll look at Exhibit 25, please.       Do you have that in front

10   of you?

11 A. I do.

12        Q.      Can you identify that?

13 A. It appears to be text messages.

14        Q.      Between who?

15        A.      Jason, Michael, and Michael.

16        Q.      Michael -- and this is a deposition exhibit for

17   Mr. Nasserfar -- "Michael" and "Michael" being Task and

18   Nasserfar?

19 A. I assume so, yes.

20        Q.      If you look at the bottom of that page, do you see

21   that screen shot of a document?

22        A.      Yes.

23        Q.      Well, first of all, can you see what -- what         let

24   me start that over.

25                        If you look at that screen shot, what does that
                                                                        85

 1   appear to be?

 2        A.      A text message.

 3        Q.      And what's the screen shot? What's the document?

 4 A. In the bottom right-hand -- bottom corner it is a --

 5   it looks like a picture of a pipeline.

 6        Q.      What do you mean?

 7        A.      Closing report.

 8        Q.      Okay. Say -- explain what that is.

 9        A.      Michael kept an Excel document that had all of his

10   projected closings with notes and statuses.

11        Q.      So who does the document belong to?

12        A.      The company.

13        Q.      AmeriPro?

14        A.      Correct.

15        Q.      So what is this showing?

16 A. It's showing company information regarding its

17   customers.

18        Q.      All right. So are there customer/borrower names on

19   there?

20        A.      Yes.

21        Q.      And is that confidential information?

22 A. It is.

23        Q.      Is that something that's publicly available at this

24   point in time?

25        A.      No, it's not.
                                                                       86

 1        Q.     I mean, at the time this document is created?

 2        A.     No, it's not.

 3        Q.     Can you tell who that -- who is that document being

 4   given to?

 5 A. I assume it's someone named Jason.

 6        Q.     Okay. But you don't know who that is?

 7 A. I do not.

 8        Q.     Okay. If that was being given to a competitor, would

 9   that be in violation of Mr. Nasserfar's duties to AmeriPro?

10        A.     Yes, it would be.

11        Q.     Why are borrower names confidential?

12        A.     Because borrowers' information is protected by

13   several rules or regulations in our industry.

14        Q.     And that's something you-all maintain?

15        A.     Correct.

16        Q.     If you look at Exhibit 26, you go to the spreadsheet

17   that's included in that Exhibit, do you see that?

18        A.     Correct.

19        Q.     Does that appear to be the    is that an internal

20   AmeriPro document?

21        A.     Yes, it is.

22        Q.     And what is it?

23 A. It's a pipeline report.

24        Q.     Does it appear to be the same pipeline report you

25   just looked at in the text message?
                                                                        85

 1   part of that exhibit.

 2                        THE COURT: All right. 25 and 26 will be

 3   withdrawn.

 4        Q.      (BY MS. BURTON) So, Mr. Overhauser, I refer you to

 5   Exhibit 27.

 6 A. I'm there.

 7        Q.      Okay. In November of 20 -- in November of 2014, was

 8   Mr. Task still employed by AmeriPro?

 9        A.      Yes, he was.

10        Q.      And if you're -- you were -- do you recall seeing

11   this document before, Exhibit 27?

12 A. I do.

13        Q.      Okay. And it's an e-mail, correct, from Jackson

14   Thomas at Oak Mortgage to Michael Task?

15        A.      Yes.

16        Q.      And if you look and see what Mr. Thomas is asking

17   Mr. Task to give him, is there anything in there that's

18   AmeriPro's confidential information?

19        A.      Yes, there is.

20        Q. What?

21        A.      The year-to-date profit and last year's profit and

22   loss, product mix, staff members, more specifically their

23   compensation, pricing information would all be confidential

24   information of the company.

25        Q.      So Mr. Task, did he have any authority to give that
                                                                     89

 1   to Oak Mortgage?

 2        A.    No, he did not.

 3        Q.    Would that be in violation of the agreements he

 4   signed with AmeriPro?

 5              Yes, it would.

 6        Q.    Does AmeriPro -- we talked about how AmeriPro

 7   maintains confidential information. Do they go -- does

 8   AmeriPro go to some expense to compile and maintain it?

 9        A.    Yes, absolutely we do.

10        Q.    I mean, the databases you talked about?

11        A.    Yeah. We -- we host our databases at both onsite and

12   offsite locations. We have a multiple authentication process.

13   We have a separate IT department. We have backup processes and

14   procedures. So, yes, we go to lengths to maintain that

15   information securely.

16        Q.    I could go to Google and I could look up builders,

17   correct?

18        A.    Correct.

19        Q.    So how does AmeriPro claim that its builder referral

20   sources are confidential?

21        A.    Because it's not publicly available.

22        Q.    What's not publicly available?

23        A.    The information in how we do business with a

24   particular client as -- as a builder.

25        Q.    You're not claiming the name of the builder's
                                                                    90

     confidential, correct?

          A.   No, I'm not.

 3        Q.   You're claiming the relationship or    or the

 4   information relating to that referral source?

 5        A.   Correct.

 6        Q.   If Mr. Task gave Oak Mortgage what Mr. Thomas was

 7   asking for in this e-mail, which is Exhibit 27, would that give

 8   Oak a competitive advantage?

 9        A.   Yes, it would.

10        Q.   Just pick one or two things, why would that give him

11   a competitive advantage?

12        A.   From a pricing perspective they would understand how

13   our pricing compares to theirs in specific scenarios. If we

14   were -- if that information was to be given to them, they would

15   understand the cost of our location. Inside of the profit and

16   loss statements they'd understand what does the cost of this

17   location take -- what does it take to operate this location on

18   a daily or monthly perspective. Product mix would also be part

19   of a combination with profit and loss, understanding the

20   revenue streams of the company and, more specifically, revenue

21   streams by product.

22        Q.   Is that information AmeriPro had taken time to

23   develop and maintain?

24        A.   Yes.

25        Q.   Look at Exhibit 28. Do you recognize that?
                                                                      91

 1       A.     Yes, I do.

 2       Q.     What is that?

 3 A. It is a general ledger account of branch 152180.

 4       Q.     Which is which branch?

 5 A. It is the Lakeway location, the one that Michael ran

 6       Q.     What's the date range?

 7       A.     From January 1st, 2014, through January 31st, 2014.

 8       Q.     And what is this used for by AmeriPro?

 9       A.     This is the detailed information that makes up the

10 profit and loss statement.

11       Q.     Is this confidential?

12       A.   Yes, it is.

13       Q.     And would this if given to a competitor give them an

14 advantage?

15       A.   Yes, it would.

16       Q.     What does it show them?

17 A. It shows them the revenue and -- and expenses at a

18 location in a specific format.

19       Q.     And how did AmeriPro maintain the general ledger,

20 how -- how is it protected?

21       A.     Again, it is behind a multiple authentication

22 process. So it's behind a secure physical door for the office,

23 a secure login to the network, and another secure username and

24 password login into the actual accounting system.

25       Q.     Okay. Look at Exhibit 29. What is that?
                                                                      92

 1        A.     Statement of income.

 2        Q. For?

 3        A.     Branch location 152180 or Michael Nasserfar's branch

 4   location.

 5        Q.     What's the date range?

 6 A. It says, "For period ending November 30th, 2014."

 7        Q.     And again, it's something that AmeriPro maintains is

 8   confidential?

 9        A.     Yes.

10        Q.     And would there be any reason -- any legitimate

11   reason why a AmeriPro employee would give this to a competitor?

12        A.     No.

13        Q.     And then if you look at Exhibit 30, what is that?

14        A.     That's the funded loan report for, again, branch

15   152180.

16        Q.     Time frame?

17        A.     January 1st, 2014, through December 31st, 2014.

18        Q.     And you say that these exhibits I've been referencing

19   that there's a -- you know, the Bates -- you know what a Bates

20   label is, right, the Oak Mortgage reference?

21        A.     Yes.   I'm sorry.

22        Q.     So is it your understanding these were produced in

23   discovery by Oak Mortgage?

24        A.     Yes.

25        Q.     Okay. Any reason -- any legitimate reason why Oak
                                                                    93

 1 Mortgage should have these exhibits like Exhibit 30?

 2       A.   No.

 3       Q.   What is on the funded loan report, Exhibit 30, that's

 4 confidential?

 5       A.   Borrower's name, the loan amount, all the revenue

 6 associated to the specific loan, and some of the expenses

 7 specifically related to it, coming up with a total loan/income

 8 number on the far right. None of that is publicly available.

 9       Q.   All right. Let's go over to Exhibit 36. Do you

10 recognize that?

11       A.   Yes, I do.

12       Q.   What is that?

13 A. It's a letter      it's an e-mail from Ty e-mailing to

14 what appears to be his personal Gmail account with an

15 attachment.

16       Q.   What's the date?

17       A.   January 13th, 2015.

18       Q.   And what day did he resign?

19       A.   January 15th --

20       Q.   And this --

21       A.   -- 2015.

22       Q.   -- is Ty -- Ty Gosnay, correct?

23       A. Correct.

24       Q.   What is his attachment to Exhibit 35, what is that?

25       A.   Attachment to Exhibit 35?
                                                                      94

          Q.   Yeah, what you're -- the exhibit you're looking at.

 2 A. It says, "Community fees."

 3        Q.   So what is that spreadsheet?

 4        A.   And then the next page has communities for three

 5   builders and it outlines tax rates, HOA fees, and other

 6   information specifically to that community. In addition, it

 7   also has contact information for each one of those communities.

 8        Q.   So builder contact information?

 9        A.   Yes, that's what it appears to be.

10        Q.   And is this an AmeriPro internal document?

11        A.   Yes, I believe so.

12        Q.   Is it something AmeriPro maintains is confidential?

13        A.   Yes.

14        Q.   And why is it confidential to AmeriPro?

15        A.   Because we aggregated this information on our time

16   and effort.

17        Q.   Mr. Gosnay have -- did he have any authority to

18   convey that to a competitor?

19        A.   No, he did not.

20                     THE COURT: Is this a good place to break for

21   lunch?

22                     MS. BURTON: I probably can finish in --

23                     THE COURT: Go ahead.

24                     MS. BURTON:   -- by 12, 15 minutes, maybe 10, if

25   you want me to?
                                                                         98

 1   or --

 2                        MS. BURTON: No. I just want to ask him about

 3   them and then submit redacted --

 4                        THE COURT: 36 and 37?

 5                        MS. BURTON: Yes.

 6                        THE COURT: They've already been admitted.

 7                        MS. BURTON: Okay. You're right.

 8                        THE COURT: So you can ask him about them.

 9                        MS. BURTON: Okay. Thanks. Sorry.

10           Q.   (BY MS. BURTON)     So, Mr. Overhauser, Exhibit 36 and

11   37, would you look at those.

12           A.   Okay.

13           Q.   What are those?

14 A. 30 --

15           Q.   Let's start with 36. What is 36?

16 A. 36 appears to be an e-mail from Ty Gosnay to himself

17   with the attachment -- it says, "Mortgage letter Michael

18   Nasserfar AmeriPro Funding doc          ameriprofunding.doc."

19           Q.   And what's the date?

20           A.   January 13th, 2015.

21           Q.   Okay. Look at the attachment, the actual letter, and

22   can you identify that?

23           A.   Yes, that is our prequalification letter.

24           Q. AmeriPro's?

25           A.   Correct.
                                                                          97

 1           Q.   All right. And if you look at Exhibit 37, look at

 2   that letter.

 3        A.      Correct.

 4           Q.   What does that appear to be?

 5 A. It appears to be a letter in the same format,

 6   different applicant.

 7           Q.   Well, whose -- whose letter -- whose letterhead's on

 8   that?

 9           A.   Oak Mortgage.

10           Q.   Comparing 36 to 37, what does it appear to you as far

11   as these letters?

12           A.   Appears to be the same letter with a different      a

13   different company on the top and different borrower -- a

14   different applicant.

15           Q.   Was this, Exhibit 36, an AmeriPro form?

16           A.   Yes.

17           Q.   And did Mr. Nasserfar use it when he worked at

18   AmeriPro?

19           A.   Yes, I believe so.

20           Q.   And what is 37?

21 A. It's the same form at Oak Mortgage.

22           Q.   And what's the address at the bottom of each of those

23   letters, or is it the same address?

24           A.   The address is the same at the bottom of both

25   letters.
                                                                        98

 1        Q.   Is that an Oak Mortgage address or AmeriPro address?

 2        A,   I believe that was -- I believe that was our address,

 3   but I would need to look at leases to confirm.

 4        Q.   Meaning that the address was not changed from the --

 5        A.   Correct.

 6        Q         AmeriPro letter to the Oak Mortgage letter?

 7        A.   Correct.

 8        Q.   Okay.    Is this a -- Exhibit 36, the AmeriPro letter,

 9   was that something that was publicly available?

10        A.   No, it would not be --

11        Q.   How would --

12        A.   -- not this specific letter.

13        Q.   -- AmeriPro be harmed by using -- if -- if they're --

14   if Nasserfar's team contention is these are just forms, we can

15   find them publicly, what's your response to that as far as how

16   it harms AmeriPro?

17 A. If any form is adapted or changed for use at the

18   company, then it becomes the company's confidential

19   information.

20        Q.   And how -- and how       you said AmeriPro has been in

21   business how long?

22        A.   A little over 12 years.

23        Q.   And over that time has AmeriPro developed forms?

24        A.   Yes.

25        Q.   And what else has it developed?
                                                                        99

 1        A.      Forms, other documents related to the loan process,

 2   communication templates that would go to borrowers or real

 3   estate partners or other referral sources.

 4        Q.   And if a competitor was given access to that type of

 5   information, how it would it help them?

 6 A. It just would accelerate the time for setting up a

 7   new location.

 8        Q.   Okay. And just turn to the nonsolicitation provision

 9   in the employment agreement and the contentions that have been

10   made in this case.

11        A.   Okay.

12        Q.      I'm going to focus you specifically on Centerra

13   Homes. What is your understanding of how Centerra Homes

14   began -- became to be a customer at AmeriPro?

15        A.      Michael introduced me to Tom Grant, who is the

16   current owner or CEO of Centerra Homes.

17        Q.   And at that time, did Mr. Nasserfar tell you that

18   Mr. Grant was a prior customer of his?

19        A.      No, he did not.

20        Q.      What did he tell you about his relationship with

21   Mr. Grant?

22        A.   That he had met Mr. Grant, I believe, when they had

23   worked -- when he worked at a -- a different company -- when

24   Michael had worked at a different company.

25        Q.      Did he say Mr. Grant was a customer of his at the
                                                                       100

 1   different company?

 2           A.   No.

 3           Q.   Just that he had a relationship?

 4           A.   Correct.

 5           Q.   So was it      how did it come about that   well, when

 6   Mr. -- when you met Mr. Grant was he then president of Centerra

 7   Homes?

 8 A. I believe so, yes.

 9           Q.   And how did Centerra Homes -- Michael made the

10   introduction, correct?

11           A.   Michael made the introduction.

12           Q.   And how did Centerra become a customer of AmeriPro?

13           A.   Over the course of the following months both Michael,

14   myself solicited Mr. Grant for him to bring his business to

15   AmeriPro Funding from Centerra Homes.

16           Q.   So did AmeriPro expend time, energy, and effort to do

17   that?

18           A.   Yes.

19           Q.   When Mr. Nasserfar was soliciting Mr. Grant that

20   time, was he an employee of AmeriPro?

21        A.      Yes, he was.

22           Q.   Was -- what about Brohn Homes, how did they come to

23   be a customer of AmeriPro?

24        A.      That one I believe Michael went out spec4 fically,

25   solicited them and earned their business during his employment
                                                                  101

 1 with the company.

 2       Q.   With AmeriPro?

 3       A.   Correct.

4        Q.   And did you have any -- did he ever tell you that

5 they were a customer of his before he came to AmeriPro?

6        A.   No.

 7       Q.   Do you have knowledge as to when Centerra Homes was

8 actually formed or began as a business?

9 A. I do not.

10       Q.   All right.   Let me ask you -- kind of summarize your

11 testimony. Can you summarize to the Court the harm that

12 AmeriPro has suffered due to the actions of Oak Mortgage and

13 Mr. Task and Mr. Nasserfar and Mr. Gosnay?

14       A.   Sure. Our information was taken from us, our

15 confidential information. I believe that it was used

16 specifically to open up a new location in direct competition

17 with us in our vicinity. Since then, we have lost a tremendous

18 amount of business from customers and clients for which we were

19 doing business before, and in addition to that, we have a

20 location that's no longer operating that we have an expense

21 associated to.

22       Q.   And have you been able to calculate with any

23 certainty the damages that AmeriPro has suffered?

24 A. I cannot specifically calculate that now. I believe

25 they're ongoing as we continue to discover new information.
                                                                     '02

 1        Q.    There's one customer I forgot to ask you about,

 2   Seaholm.   Is that -- that's the condo project, correct?

 3        A.    Yes.

 4        Q.    Were they a customer of Mr. Nasserfar's prior to him

 5 coming to AmeriPro?

 6        A.    No, not that I know of.

 7        Q.    Was -- do you know when Seaholm was -- was founded?

 8 A. I believe the project started at some point in the

 9 last couple of years and we were given an opportunity to become

10 a preferred lender. Specifically Michael Task was working on

11 that project.

12        Q.    And that was while he was employed by AmeriPro?

13        A.    Yes, it was.

14        Q.    And do you have any knowledge of whether Mr. Task had

15 a prior customer relationship with Seaholm before he -- well,

16 he couldn't have because he -- did he have a prior customer

17 relationship with Seaholm before he gan work -- began working

18 for AmeriPro?

19 A. I don't believe so because the project started after

20 his employment with the company.

21        Q.    So while at AmeriPro is when AmeriPro became a

22 preferred lender for Seaholm?

23        A.    Correct.

24                     MR. BUNDREN: Objection, leading.

25                     THE COURT: Sustained.
                                                                       103

 1                  THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. Should I have waited?

 2        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) Anything else, Mr. Overhauser, you

 3   want to add about the damage or -- damages or harms suffered by

 4   AmeriPro in this case?

 5 A. I would just say that they're -- they're ongoing as

 6   we continue to -- I mean, even the information we've just

 7   that's come to light in discovery was new information for us

 8   and that is significant and material to the company. Not only

 9   have we lost the opportunity for business, but we have also

10   have a location that is no longer producing revenue that is

11   just an expense that was specifically executed to have

12   Michael -- Mr. Nasserfar run it with his team.

13                  MS. BURTON: Thank you. Pass the witness.

14                  THE COURT:     I think this is a good time to break

15   for lunch. You may step down. We'll start back up at 1:30.

16   You-all are excused.

17                  (Break taken from 11:56 a.m. to 1:43 p.m.)

18                  THE COURT: Okay. You want to come on back?

19                  (Witness takes the stand.)

20                  MS. BURTON: Your Honor, I have one thing to do.

21   I didn't offer an exhibit.     I already --

22                  THE COURT: Okay.

23                  MS. BURTON:     -- talked with Mr. Bundren.   He

24   said there was no objection.     The -- Applicant's Exhibit 7.

25                  MR. BUNDREN:     No objection.
                                                                     142

 1 A. If that information was on that sheet they could.

 2        Q.    And you can't testify that it wasn't -- or it wasn't

 3   there, can you?

 4 A. I didn't personally review the computer. I can

 5   testify to what was shown to me this morning.

 6        Q.    But you can't say based upon your -- you can't say

 7   under oath that that spreadsheet was not on his computer when

 8   you got his computer, can you?

 9 A. I could not speak to that specifically, no.

10                     MR. BUNDREN: Pass the witness.

11                    THE COURT: Anything else, Ms. Burton?

12                           REDIRECT-EXAMINATION

13   BY MS. BURTON:

14        Q.    Mr. Overhauser, you were asked some questions about

15   whether AmeriPro had written agreements with builders and

16   realtors and referral sources and you said no; is that correct?

17        A.    Yeah. I wanted to be very specific. We have some

18   written agreements for rent with certain real estate agents or

19   a marketing function with certain real estate agents. We do

20   not have any with builders at this point.

21        Q.    Do you have agreements with builders that are not in

22   writing?

23 A. I need you to be a little bit more specific. I'm

24   sorry.

25        Q.    Well, do you have understandings about lender credits
                                                                   143

 1   and things like that?

 2        A.   Yes.

 3        Q.   Okay. But they're not in writing?

 4        A.   That is correct.

 5        Q.   But it -- is it your testimony that is an agreement

 6   that you have?

 7        A.   Yeah. We have an agreement specifically with

 8   builders on what we will give to their customers.

 9        Q.   Is that something that you make public to your

10   competitors?

11        A.   No.

12        Q.   Is that something that you make publicly available --

13   do you make that publicly available?

14        A.   Not to my knowledge.

15        Q.   Is that something that AmeriPro uses in order to gain

16   a competitive advantage?

17        A.   Yes.

18             You were also asked some questions about borrower

19   information. Is there a law, a regulation that protects

20   borrower information?

21        A.   Yeah, Regulation P and Gramm-Leach-Bliley protect the

22   consumer's information.

23        Q.   All right. And just -- for instance, Mr. Bundren's

24   questions were, Well, the title company has borrower

25   information. How does the title company get that information?
                                                                    144

 1        A.   They get it from us.

 2        Q,   And how does -- how -- how is it that you are able to

 3   give that to them?

 4        A.   We're required to to do the transaction.

 5        Q.   And does the borrower agree that you can give them

 6   that -- that information?

 7        A.   Correct.

 8        Q.   All right. So if a borrower -- in a typical scenario

 9   if I'm borrowing money for a house, of course the lender and

10   the title company has to have certain information, correct?

11        A.   Correct.

12        Q.   If a borrower -- do you have any knowledge of the

13   borrower -- AmeriPro borrow -- borrowers consenting to

14   Mr. Nasserfar or Mr. Task downloading their information on a

15   thumb drive?

16        A.   No, I do not.

17        Q.   And do borrowers typically consent to have their

18   credit applications taken by ex-employees of AmeriPro?

19        A.   No, not typically.

20        Q.   Would that be a violation of the federal law?

21        A.   Yes, it would be.

22        Q.   All right. And what's the purposes of that

23   regulation to your -- to your understanding as far as

24   protecting borrower information?

25        A.   The purpose is to protect the consumer's confidential
                                                                         145

 1   data.

 2           Q.   Do you have any knowledge of any Ameripo       AmeriPro

 3   borrower consenting to Mr. Task taking hard copies of documents

 4   with borrower information on them?

 5 A. I do not.

 6           Q.   Are you aware that he returned to us in this

 7   litigation a box of documents that contained borrower

 8   information?

 9                       MR. BUNDREN: Objection, leading.

10                       THE COURT: Sustained.

11                       THE WITNESS: So do I answer or not?

12                       THE COURT: No.

13                       THE WITNESS: Okay.

14           Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) Are you -- do you have any knowledge

15   of Mr. Task returning any paper copies of documents?

16           A.   Yes.

17           Q.   And what is your knowledge?

18           A.   That he returned a box of information that contained,

19   I believe it was, financial statements and other documents.

20           Q.   Was this information that he would have gotten

21   because he was an employee of AmeriPro?

22           A.   Correct.

23                       (Sotto voce discussion.)

94           Q.   (BY MS. BURTON)    I think we talked earlier in your

25   direct testimony about the steps AmeriPro takes to protect
                                                                     15.1

 1        Q.    You're currently the Austin area sales manager for

 2   Oak Mortgage, correct?

 3        A.    Correct.

 4        Q.    You resigned from AmeriPro on Friday, January 16

 5   2015, correct?

 6        A.    Correct.

 7        Q.    Up until the day you resigned, January 16th, you

 8   never told anyone at AmeriPro that you were leaving; is that

 9   correct?

10        A.    Correct.

11        Q.    The following Monday, January 19th, Oak Mortgage

12   opened a new Austin office with you as one of its employees,

13   correct?

14        A.    Correct.

15        Q.    Ever since you resigned from AmeriPro, you've kept

16   copies of AmeriPro's confidential financial records, correct?

17 A. I was told not to destroy anything, correct.

18        Q.    Different question: I didn't ask you if you were

19   asked to destroy or not. You took, with you, copies of

20   AmeriPro's confidential financial records, correct?

21        A.    A copy of records, correct.

22        Q.    You took them home in a box, correct?

23        A.    Correct. I had hard copies and electronic copies,

24   correct,

25        Q.    You've known the entire time since you resigned from
                                                                     155

 1   AmeriPro that you still had copies of its confidential records,

 2   correct?

 3 A. I don't know if it was confidential, but I did give

 4   the information to my counsel.

 5        Q.    Have you ever testified that they are confidential

 6   records?

 7 A. I may have in my deposition, but I don't know if

 8   that's accurate because I'm not an attorney to determine that.

 9        Q.    If you turn to Page 19 of that deposition transcript

10   that I gave you.

11                   Line 15, question:   "You --

12        A.    What page are you saying? I'm sorry.

13        Q.    Page 19, Line 15.

14        A.    Got it. Yes, sir.

15        Q.    I asked you the question: "You've kept copies of

16   AmeriPro financial records that are confidential. They're not

17   public. Ever since you resigned from AmeriPro, correct?"

18                   Answer: "That's correct."

19                   Question: "And you knew you still had those

20   AmeriPro financial records, those confidential records, ever

21   since you've resigned, correct? It's not something you just

22   forgot you had?"

23                   Answer: "No, I had not forgotten."

24                   Question: "You knew the entire time since

25   you've left AmeriPro that you have had them, correct?"
                                                                       156

 1                       Answer:   "That's right."

 2                       Did I read that correctly?

 3         A.     Yes, sir.

 4         Q.     You didn't ask anyone's permission at AmeriPro to

 5   take this information home with you, did you?

 6 A. I did not.

 7         Q.     You didn't even tell AmeriPro that you had taken its

 8   confidential records, did you?

 9         A.     Again, I don't know if their definition of

10   confidential is accurate, but I did not tell anybody.

11         Q.     Well, if you would turn to tab 28 in the exhibit

12   notebooks.

13                       (Sotto voce discussion.)

14                       MR. BUNDREN: Are you asking -- is that Exhibit

15   28?

16                       MR. BEHRENS: Yes.

17         Q.     (BY MR. BEHRENS) Are you there?

18         A.     Yes.

19         Q.     Okay. Exhibit 28 are AmeriPro's monthly general

20   ledgers for the Lakeway branch where you worked, correct?

21         A.     Correct.

22         Q.     They're the ledgers for every month in 2014, correct?

23 A. Is the entire month behind your -- I assume you're --

24   looks to be correct.

25         Q.     The day before -- the day before you resigned from
                                                                    157

 1   AmeriPro, you filled a bankers box with these monthly general

 2   ledgers and several other AmeriPro financial records to take

 3   with you, correct?

 4 A. I made copies.

 5        Q.   You even took personnel records of other AmeriPro

 6   employees including how much salary they make, correct?

 7 A. I'm unaware if I did, but it's possible.

 8        Q.   In the last few weeks you returned a bankers box of

 9   exhibits -- documents that you had at your house, right?

10        A.   Correct.

11        Q.   And one of those folders that you had in there is the

12   salary of Julie Ann Curby, of Ms. Strange, their employment

13   agreements; you took their personnel records home with you,

14   didn't you?

15 A. I had copies, correct.

16        Q.   And you had copies of personnel records of other

17   employees of AmeriPro at your house even after you resigned

18   from the company, correct?

19 A. I had copies of records.

20        Q.   And you took those records -- you loaded the bankers

21   box with those records the day before you resigned, correct?

22 A. I don't know if it was the day before but correct.

23        Q.   When you resigned from AmeriPro, you knew that you

24   had contract provisions that required you to return all

25   property of AmeriPro including confidential information,
                                                                          158

 1   correct?

 2 A. I knew from the letter that counsel sent me on

 3   January 20th reminding me.

 4        Q.     My question was different: You were aware that you

 5   had contract provisions that required you to return all

 6   property of AmeriPro including confidential information upon

 7   your termination, correct?

 8 A. I'd have to look at the contract at this moment. But

 9   at the time, I don't know if I knew it verbatim or knew word

10   for word what it said.

11        Q.     Please turn to Page 141 of your deposition

12   transcript.

13        A. Okay. 141?

14        Q.     Yes.

15        A.     Okay.

16        Q.     Line 11.

17                       Question:   "You're aware that you had contract

18   provisions that required you to return all property of AmeriPro

19   including its confidential information upon termination,

20   correct?"

21                       You asked, "Upon termination or resignation?"

22                       My question:   "Termination of your employment

23   voluntary or not?"

24                       And your answer was, "Yes."

25                       Did I read that correctly?
                                                                      159

 1        A.    Yes.

 2        Q.    Question: "You had a requirement to return all such

 3   information, correct?"

 4                     Answer: "I have -- I understand that."

 5                     Question: "You gave your resignation through

 6   Federal Express on the 15th for delivery on the 16th, correct?"

 7                     Answer: "That's correct."

 8                     Question: "And after that, you did not return

 9   the information, you took it home, correct?"

10                     Answer:   "I did take it home."

11                     Did I read that correctly?

12        A.    You did.

13        Q.    You chose not to comply with your contract provisions

14   with AmeriPro and took its financial information and borrower

15   list to your house instead, correct?

16 A. I made copies.

17                     MR. BUNDREN: I'm going to object. That's a

18   multiple question, Your Honor. Multiple questions, just break

19   it down and be fine.

20                     MR. BEHRENS: I asked the same question in

21   deposition, he said, "Yes."

22                     THE COURT: If you will break it down, that will

23   be fine.

24                     MR. BEHRENS: You bet.

25        Q.    (BY MR. BEHRENS) You chose not to comply with your
                                                                     160

 1   contract provision with AmeriPro, correct?

 2 A. I don't know if I necessarily made a conscience

 3   decision to choose not to.

 4        Q.    If you turn to page 142 of your transcript.

 5                      Are you there?

 6 A. I am.

 7        Q.    Line 8:

 8                      "And you knew you had it and chose not to return

 9   it, correct?"

10                      Answer: "Once I was asked, I returned it

11   through counsel and here it is."

12                      Did I read that correctly?

13        A.    You did.

14        Q.    You did choose not to return information that you

15   knew you had in your possession, correct?

16        A.    Again, once I was asked, I returned it.

17        Q.    Not to AmeriPro. You gave it to your attorney,

18   correct?

19        A.    Correct.

20        Q.    Now, both you and Mr. Nasserfar intentionally took

21   list of AmeriPro borrowers including their loan numbers and

22   other financial information with you when you resigned from

23   AmeriPro, correct?

24        A.    Correct.

25        Q.    Under federal regulations, you understood that
                                                                    161

 1   nonpublic personal information of consumers includes any list

 2   or grouping of consumer names that was derived from AmeriPro

 3   computers, correct?

 4 A. I did not know that. I think that Reg P was

 5   initiated, enacted in June of 2014. So it's a fairly new

 6   statute and legislation.

 7        Q.   Could you turn to page 70 of your transcript? Are

 8   you there?

 9 A. I am.

10        Q.      Line 20:

11                     Question: "Under federal regulations, you

12   understand that nonpublic personal information includes any

13   list or grouping of consumer's names derived from AmeriPro

14   computers, correct?"

15                     Answer: "That's my understanding."

16                     Did I read that correctly?

17        A.   Yes. Prior to that question, you had spoke about

18   numerous occasions and that was my understanding at that point.

19        Q.   Well, you're licensed, aren't you?

20 A. I am licensed, yes, sir.

21        Q.   And one of the things that you had to take a test on

22   was Regulation P and its requirements, correct?

23        A.   No, sir.

24        Q.   If I look on the website and see that Regulation P is

25   one of the things listed as a test exam topic, your memory is
                                                                      163

 1   make sure those records were preserved, that nothing happened

 2   or they weren't destroyed at AmeriPro; is that correct?

 3           A.   That was correct.

 4           Q.   In your pleadings to this court you made exactly the

 5   opposite representation, didn't you? You represented to the

 6   Court first, "Nasserfar, Task, or Gosnay did not have

 7   confidential information or trade secrets of defendant when

 8   they left the employment of defendant." Do you see that?

 9 A. I see that, yes.

10           Q.   So instead of telling the Court, "Yes, Your Honor, I

11   did take confidential information, but it's to protect myself

12   in case of litigation." You told the Court, "Your Honor, I

13   don't have anything at all," didn't you? That's what you say

14   here.

15           A.   Well, again, I think the language of confidential

16   information was in dispute and I'm still not -- again, I'm not

17   an attorney. So the legal piece of that, I'm not quite sure I

18   can answer correctly.

19           Q.   Well, you took general ledgers home with you, didn't

20   you?

21 A. I did.

22           Q.   And you agree that general ledgers are the

23   confidential information of AmeriPro, correct?

24          A.    Not public.

25          Q.    I'm sorry?
                                                                        164

            A.   Not public.

            Q.   Different question: You agree that general ledgers

3    of AmeriPro are its confidential information, correct?

4           A    I would say as a whole, the data in there is

5    confidential.

6           Q.   Okay. Please turn to Exhibit -- or to Page 166 of

7    your deposition. And on Page 166 -- I'm sorry. First turn to

8    Page 162 and you see at Line 8 that we were taking about, the

9    general ledger for AmeriPro for 2014, do you see that? Do you

10   see that?

11 A. I see the highlighted area. You never told -- okay.

12   Yes.

13          Q.   And then the question:    "This is information you

14   obtained electronically on AmeriPro's computer network,

15   correct?"

16                      Answer: "Correct."

17                      Do you see that?

18          A.   Yes.

19          Q.   And then turn to Page 166 while we are talking about

20   that exhibit.      Line 6:

21                      "Did you understand that you were required to

22   keep it confidential?"

23                      Answer:   "I didn't -- was I required to per the

24   agreement? My understanding confidential information would

25   have been information that AmeriPro provided me and this
                                                                    165

 1   information certainly, I guess, could fall into that category.'

 2                  Question: "You knew you weren't allowed to just

 3   give it out to members of the public.     It's internal financial

 4   information, correct?"

 5                  Answer:   "Absolutely. Absolutely correct. I

 6   would never do that."

 7                  Question: "And you understood then that it was

 8   AmeriPro's confidential information that you have in these

 9   generally ledgers, correct?"

10                  Answer:   "I would agree."

11                  Did I read that correctly?

12        A.   You did.

13        Q.   And that's information that you represented to the

14   Court, you didn't have at all?

15 A. I'm sorry.

16        Q.   You represented to the Court that you didn't take any

17   confidential information when you left?

18        A.   Well, again, the terminology is not necessarily my

19   forte as far as the legal definitions of all these items.

20        Q.   Were you confused about the fact that the personnel

21   records of other employees including their salaries, did you

22   think that was public and nonconfidential?

23        A.   Again, that was records that I kept to show what

24   expenses were supposed to be applied to our branch. So there

25   were records I was keeping for my claim.
                                                                   166

 1        Q.   So, for instance, you needed Ms. Strange's employment

 2   agreement for your claim; is that your testimony?

 3 A. I had a copy of it. I don't necessarily --

 4   necessarily know if I needed it, but I had a copy of it.

 5        Q.   You took it, didn't you?

 6 A. I made a copy of it.

 7        Q.   You took a copy home with you, didn't you?

 8 A. I had a copy at home.

 9        Q.   And you knew that her salary information, her

10   employment agreement was her personal information, correct?

11        A.   She's no longer an employee of the company -- wasn't

12   an employee then at all.

13        Q.   It was her private personnel information and her

14   salary, correct?

15 A. It was private information that was shared with me as

16   her supervisor.

17        Q.   At AmeriPro?

18        A.   AmeriPro, that's right.

19        Q.   It's confidential personnel records, what someone

20   makes, correct?

21 A. I would say that's correct.

22        Q.   And you took it home with you?

23 A. I did.

24        Q.   And that's part of the confidential information you

25   represented to the Court you didn't have at all?
                                                                        167

 1        A.      Again, the definition of those items -- I wasn't

 2   clear on what confidential definitions we were talking about,

 3   information we were talking about.

 4        Q.      So you were confused about whether you can take

 5   personnel records for other people home?

 6 A. I was confused what they were trying to identify,

 7   correct.

 8        Q.      Okay. Were you also confused about whether you could

 9   take home credit scores for consumers of AmeriPro?

10 A. I wouldn't say confused.   I don't -- again, I made

11   records of several items, several things.

12        Q.      You understand that a credit report that was

13   submitted to AmeriPro by consumers, it list what bank accounts

14   they have, doesn't it?

15        A.      No. It lists the creditor account numbers that are

16   truncated.

17        Q.      Did you --

18 A. It doesn't leave bank account information on a credit

19   report.

20                     MR. BEHRENS: Do you have a redacted copy of the

21   credit report that you could pull up? There we go.

22        Q.      (BY MR. BEHRENS) The credit report lists what thelr

23   credit was with various banks and other vendors with whom they

24   had --

25        A.      Credit.
                                                                     168

 1        Q.    Credit?

 2        A.    That's correct.

 3        Q.    That's not public information that you're free to

 4   disclose, is it?

 5        A.    No.

 6        Q.    It includes what their credit score is; you're not

 7   free to disclose that, are you?

 8 A. I'm free to disclose it to the borrower.

 9        Q.    To the borrower?

10        A.    That's correct.

11        Q.    You are not permitted to take it home in a box as an

12   employee of a competitor, are you?

13 A. I wasn't an employee of the competitor when I took

14   the information and made copies. I made copies, again, to

15   protect myself.

16        Q.    The entire time you've been the Austin area sales

17   manager for Oak Mortgage, you've had that information with you,

18   correct?

19        A.    Sealed in a box.

20        Q.    That you had with you, correct?

21        A.    Correct.

22        Q.    And you also had their social security numbrs with

23   you, didn't you?

24        A.    Correct.

25        Q.    You understood that the social security number of a
                                                                    169

     borrower of AmeriPro is confidential information, didn't you?

          A.   I understand that.

          Q.   And you understand that federal regulation prohibits

     you from taking that information, don't you?

 5 A. I do now, yes, sir.

 6        Q.   Well, and as a licensed loan originator, don't you

 7   feel like you needed to know what the federal regulations were

     at the time you took it?

 9        A.   Well, again, each -- the regulations are fluids

10   changing constantly. So with respect to being up-to-date on

11   every regulation, every statute, that's a challenge.

12        Q.   Regardless of Regulation P, was there some reason you

13   thought you were entitled to take social security numbers of

14   borrowers home with you?

15 A. I wasn't entitled, no, sir.

16        Q.   It's confidential information, not only of AmeriPro,

17   but of those borrowers and you took it?

18 A. I made copies of those records.

19        Q.   And by the way, Regulation P, you understand is a set

20   of regulations to enforce the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, correct?

21 A. It's my understanding.

22        Q.   In other words, it clarify -- it explains in more

23   detail what Gramm-Leach-Bliley provides, correct?

24        A.   That's my understanding.

25        Q.   And Gramm-Leach-Bliley was enacted in 2000 before you
                                                                    170

 1   were even licensed, correct?

 2        A.   Again -- my understanding again with Reg P and the

 3   security that we're talking about or the, I guess, privacy of

 4   this information, I was not enacted or written, put in place

 5   until 2014.

 6        Q.   You knew that you were taking AmeriPro's information

 7   home for a purpose other than what AmeriPro had given you

 8   consent to have it for, right?

 9        A.   The purpose was to make copies and records to protect

10   myself.

11                   MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

12                   THE COURT: Sustained.

13        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) You knew that you were taking

14   AmeriPro information home with you for a purpose other than

15   what AmeriPro had given you consent for, correct?

16             Correct.

17        Q.   And the day before you resigned from AmeriPro, you

18   also, in addition to this bankers box, downloaded on a thumb

19   drive information about a AmeriPro borrowers and loans that

20   hadn't even closed yet, correct?

21        A.   Correct.

22        Q    And loans that haven't closed yet is not public

23   information, is it?

24        A.   No.

25        Q.   And you understand that under Regulation P that's
                                                                   171

 1   nonpublic private financial information of those borrowers that

 2   you had in your possession, correct?

 3 A. I had it in my possession.

 4        Q.   And you took it home too, correct?

 5        A.   Correct.

 6        Q.   You understand that was confidential information, not

 7   only of AmeriPro but those borrowers, correct?

 8 A. I kept it confidential.

 9        Q.   You knew --

10                     MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

11        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) When you took it, you knew it was

12   confidential information not only of AmeriPro, but of those

13   individual borrowers, right?

14        A.   When I copied it and kept it at my house, it was

15   confidential.

16        Q.   All of the information you took when you resigned

17   relating to AmeriPro borrowers was information you obtained off

18   of AmeriPro's computer system, correct?

19        A.   Correct.

20        Q.   You didn't obtain any of that information from public

21   sources, did you?

22        A.   No.

23        Q.   And you understand that under Regulation P, even if

24   information's available on a -- from a public source -- are you

25   with me so far?
                                                                    172

 1 A. I'm with you.

 2        Q.   Under Regulation P, you derived that information from

 3   something a borrower submitted to the lender. You're not

 4   allowed to take that. It's protected too.

 5                   Do you understand that?

 6 A. I do now.

 7        Q.   And so instead of going to public sources, you went

 8   to the one source that you're federally prohibited from going

 9   to, to take that information, correct?

10 A. It was the only access of the information I had to

11   protect myself with the data, correct?

12        Q.   Well, you've gone through this scenario where you say

13   that some of this information is available publicly, correct?

14   But you didn't go to the public source. You just took a

15   computer copy that a federal regulation barred you from taking,

16   right?

17        A.   You're talking-- I'm not understanding the question

18   when you said, "We spoke about something before."

19        Q.   Bottom line, you didn't go to any public source to

20   take any borrower information, did you?

21        A.   No.

22        Q.   You took it all off of AmeriPro's protected website

23   and computer network, correct?

24        A.   From their network.

25        Q.   That you had to login to with a password to access,
                                                                   173

 1 correct?

 2      A.    The data that I had probably was -- majority was

 3 saved on the C: drive of that laptop.

 4      Q.    You are the one who saved AmeriPro documents on to

 5 the C: drive of your laptop, correct?

 6      A.    Correct.

 7      Q.    In other words, in order to move it over to the

 8 C: drive on your laptop, you had to first login to the AmeriPro

 9 network, correct?

10 A. In certain instances.

11      Q.    And then you moved it to the C: drive on your laptop,

12 right?

13 A. In certain instances.

14      Q.    And the importance of the C: drive, the local drive,

15 that way AmeriPro won't know what you're doing with the

16 information that's on your local drive of your laptop, correct?

17      A.    No, sir.

18       Q.   It's not backed up onto AmeriPro's network if you

19 have it on the local drive of your laptop, correct?

20      A.    Everything I ever had was backed up to AmeriPro

21 networks, absolutely.

22      Q.    Is your testimony that if it's on the C: drive, the

23 local drive, that it's backed up?

24 A. If I had it on my C: drive, it would have been on the

25 network, correct.
                                                                    174

 1        Q.   Originally. But the copy that you made on the

 2   C: drive --

 3        A.   The copies.

 4        Q.   -- if you made edits, if you forwarded it --

 5 A. If.

 6        Q.   -- to someone else --

 7 A. If.

 8        Q.         AmeriPro wouldn't be able to tell if you sent it.

 9   for instance, to Oak Mortgage, would it?

10        A.   They would not have been able to, I guess.

11        Q.   So by having it on the local drive of your computer,

12   you are able to send it any where you want without being

13   detected, correct?

14 A. If I chose to, I believe.

15        Q.   At no point until you produced documents in this

16   litigation did you ever tell AmeriPro that you had taken any of

17   its confidential financial information; is that correct?

18        A.   Up until the time I was asked, no, sir.

19        Q.   And in terms of the financial records of AmeriPro

20   that you both printed in hardcopy form and downloaded -- or put

21   into the C: drive and took a thumb drive of -- are you with me

22   so far?

23 A. I'm with you.

24        Q    None of that information was available in a public

25   source that you're aware of, correct?
 1        A.     Not that I'm aware of.

 2        Q.     You took it off of AmeriPro's computer network that

 3   you had to access through a password, correct?

 4        A.     Correct.

 5        Q.     And I had asked you earlier about general ledger.

 6   You knew that those were internal financial documents that you

 7   were contractually required to keep confidential, correct?

 8        A.     Well, I mean, there was never specific in the

 9   agreements of the general ledgers and, like, that. I just felt

10   like that, that -- there was probably data with -- in there

11   that could be identified as maybe possibly confidential.

12        Q.     You understood    the testimony we read from your

13   deposition, you admitted earlier --

14        A.     Again --

15        Q.     You understood that you

16        A.     -- the definition is certainly not something that I'm

17   privy to and when we were talking about what was confidential

18   and not confidential.

19        Q.     My question: "You understood that you were

20   contractually required to keep that information confidential,

21   correct?"

22        A.     And I have.

23        Q.     Other than taking it with you without permission from

24   the owner of that information, correct?

25        A.     Correct.
                                                                   177

 1 A. I don't know if that's the only three on the website,

 2   but there's more than that in Austin.

 3        Q.    My question though is:

 4                   In terms of who AmeriPro -- or Oak Mortgage says

 5   are its employees in Austin, it's the three of you that are

 6   listed on the website, correct?

 7        A.    We are listed as the sales team, correct.

 8        Q.    And all three you, the entirety of the Austin branch

 9   of Oak Mortgage, have copies of our confidential information,

10   correct?

11        A.    No, sir.

12        Q.    You do, don't you?

13 A. I don't. Not any longer.

14        Q.    Mr. Nasserfar had thumb drives full of our

15   spreadsheets that he has returned, correct?

16        A.    Again, I don't have Mr. Nasserfar's information.   I

17   don't have copies of that information.

18        Q.    Is it your testimony that you and the vice president

19   of Austin for Oak Mortgage have copies that Oak Mortgage

20   doesn't?

21        A.    Yes, I do. That's my testimony.

22        Q.    The day before you resigned from AmeriPro, you also

23   took copies of its profit and loss reports off the computer

24   system, correct?

25        A.    Correct.   I don't -- I'm not sure about that date, to
                                                                       178

 1   be honest with you. The day before, I don't believe so. I

 2   don't think I copied or downloaded anything the day before.

 3        Q.    No, Mr. Nasserfar is Oak Mortgage's vice president of

 4   Austin, correct?

 5        A.    That's correct. That's his current title.

 6        Q.    You're aware that Mr. Nasserfar has a hard drive on

 7   which he also downloaded AmeriPro confidential information,

 8   correct?

 9 A. I'm aware that he has a hard drive.    I don't know

10   what he downloaded.

11        Q.    If you turn, please, to Page 27 of your transcript.

12                   Line 3:    "Excluding anything Mr. Bundren told

13   you, are you aware that Mr. Nasserfar had one or more USB

14   devices with AmeriPro confidential information on it?"

15                   Answer: "One, yes."

16                   And then Line 12:    "And you're aware that

17   Mr. Nasserfar had that USB device in his possession as recently

18   as this month, correct?"

19                   Answer: "I do."

20                   Did I read that correctly?

21        A.    Yes. And I -- again, my answer is there just

22   regarding, "Did I know he had a device?" I didn't know what

23   was on the device.

24        Q.    Well, the question was, "Did it have --

25 A. I understand what your question was here.    I'm seeing
                                                                        82

 1   at any point in your employment, correct?

 2 A. I delete all of my text messages every day as a

 3   regular habit.

 4                     MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

 5                     THE COURT: Sustained.

 6        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) Whatever your regular practice is,

 7   you actually knew of the prospective litigation with AmeriPro

 8   back on December 11, correct?

 9        A.   Because they had litigated and sued other previous

10   employees, yes.

11        Q.   So is that a yes? Okay.

12                     And after that, you deleted every text message

13   that existed before then, all the way through January 20, after

14   you left the company, correct?

15        A.   Yes.

16        Q.   You didn't preserve any text messages that existed at

17   any point before you started with Oak Mortgage, correct?

18        A.   Never have, no, sir.

19        Q.   And when -- when Oak Mortgage agreed to indemnify

20   you, you continued to work in a fiduciary role for AmeriPro as

21   its agent for another month, correct?

22 A. I didn't enter into any agreement with them until

23   after I was employed. It was after my resignation, excuse me.

24        Q.   After the December 11 conversation, you continued

25   working as a fiduciary for AmeriPro for another month, correct?
                                                                      183
A. I did continue to work for AmeriPro for another

     month, yes.

 3        Q.     So -- and you were also storing and taking AmeriPro's

 4   confidential information, you say, to use for this potential

     litigation while you're at the same time deleting these text

     messages, right?

          A.     One had nothing to do with the other, but correct.

          Q.     Well, one preserves the evidence and one destroys it

     correct?

10 A. I wasn't thinking in those terms.   I'm not an

11   attorney.

12        Q.     You manually deleted the text messages? You had to

13   go through and --

14        A.     Yes.

15        Q.     -- and specifically delete them?

16        A. Yes. Yes.

17        Q.     And not only were you a fiduciary for AmeriPro, you

18   were also the co-manager at the Lakeway branch for that full

19   month, correct?

20        A.     Correct.

21        Q.     And in addition to AmeriPro's general ledgers, you

22   also took copies of AmeriPro's internal pro forma after you

23   resigned, correct?

24        A.     Correct.

25        Q.     And the pro forma, of course, gives a blueprint of
                                                                     184

 1   what AmeriPro's planning to do in the future with that branch,

 2   correct?

 3        A.    Correct, never came to fruition.

 4        Q     You never once asked any of the consumers, whose

 5   information you took home with you, you didn't ask any of them

 6   for permission to take their financial nonpublic data home with

 7   you, did you?

 8 A. I did not.

 9        Q.    You began working with AmeriPro in 2011, correct?

10        A.    Correct.

11        Q.    While you were still employed with AmeriPro, Oak

12   Mortgage asked you about your referral sources at AmeriPro,

13   correct?

14 A. I don't know if I recall that.

15        Q.    If you turn to Page 206 of your    never mind.

16                   Your employment agreement with AmeriPro has a

17   nonsolicitation clause, correct?

18 A. It does.

19        Q.    And under your employment and contract with AmeriPro,

20   you understand that you're not allowed to solicit business from

21   anyone who became a referral source after you were employed at

22   AmeriPro, correct?

23        A.    Client, payor, supplier.

24        Q.    My question was different.

25                   Under your contract, as you understood it,
                                                                  185

 1 you're not allowed to solicit business from anyone who became a

2 referral source after you were employed at AmeriPro, correct?

3       A.    Well, a little confused about, again, the language in

4 the agreement as well as the question because neither -- they

5 are not both mentioned. You're talking about a referral

6 source; the agreement talks about other, you know, labels

7 and -- so it's hard to say, you know, where those labels are

8 attached.

9        Q.   So when I asked you in deposition about referral

10 source, you thought referral source was something other than

11 referral source?

12      A.    No.

13       Q.   Is that the confusion?

14      A.    No. The confusion is what's in the agreement.

15       Q.   If you turn to Page 112 of your transcript.

16                  And you understand that the contract is

17 memorializing your understanding with AmeriPro? That's what

18 the contract is, the mutual meeting of the minds, correct?

19       A.   Okay. If you say so.

20       Q.   On Page 112, Line 22, "If you developed a

21 relationship with a referral source after you began at

22 AmeriPro, do you believe you can solicit to them?"

23                  Answer: "Does that mean a new referral source

24 after I started with AmeriPro?"

25                  Question: "Yes."
 1                      Answer: "If it was a new referral source, I

 2   wouldn't solicit them. They can solicit me. They can call me.

 3   but I can't solicit them."

 4                      Question:     "And you can't solicit them under the

 5   employment agreement as you understand them" -- "understood

 6   them, correct?"

 7                      Answer:     "It's my understanding for 12 months."

 8                      Did I read that correctly?

 9        A      You did.

10        Q.     And turn also to Page 111, Line 23.

11                      Question:    "Who do you believe you can solicit

12   business from?"

13                      Answer:     "Any client, customer, business

14   referral, realtor source that I knew prior to AmeriPro

15   Funding."

16                      Did I read that correctly?

17        A.     Yes.

18        Q.     And those weren't my words. You actually volunteered

19   that. The group of people you can't solicit to when you

20   answered my question include "business referral and relator

21   source that you knew," correct?

22        A.     That's my words.

23        Q.     Is it your testimony now that builders are           were

24   not AmeriPro clients?

25 A. I don't believe they are AmeriPro clients.
                                                                     191

 1   page, correct?

 2 A. It was produced by AmeriPro Funding.

 3        Q.    Different question:

 4                    You put it on your Linkedln page as a link?

 5 A. I did, yes.

 6        Q.    And immediately after your deposition, you deleted

 7   this last page off your Linkedln profile, didn't you?

 8 A. I deleted this, yes, I did.

 9        Q.    And it was because it referred to them as your -- as

10   clients of AmeriPro, isn't it?

11        A.    No. I didn't want my namesake next to AmeriPro's

12   anymore.

13        Q,    Over one month before you resigned from AmeriPro, Oak

14   Mortgage told you that you can solicit your book of business

15   from AmeriPro, and you can solicit your past customer database,

16   didn't they?

17        A.    They may have made that inference, but doesn't mean I

18   did as such.

19        Q.    Turn with me to Page 56.

20 A. 56. Yes, sir.

21        Q.    Do you see a series of checkmarks? Can you go four

22   checkmarks down?

23 A. I see the checkmarks.

24        Q.    At the end of the first line, it says, "You can

25   maintain and solicit to your book of business and your builder
                                                                    192

 1   realtor relationships. You can maintain and solicit to your

 2   past database."

 3                     Do you see that?

 4 A. I see it.

 5        Q.    And Oak Mortgage sent you this more than a month

 6   before you actually resigned from AmeriPro, correct?

 7 A. It looks to be December 10th.

 8        Q.    So while you were still acting as a fiduciary for

 9   AmeriPro, you were having a discussion with its competitor

10   about the extent to which you could solicit business for Oak

11   Mortgage, didn't you?

12 A. I did not have that conversation directly, no, sir.

13   This information was sent to me, but I did not have that

14   conversation.

15        Q.    By your current employer, correct?

16        A.    Right. They sent this information to me, but I did

17   not have that conversation.

18        Q.    They're having this conversation in this e-mail,

19   aren't they?

20 A. It's addressed to several people there, that's

21   correct.

22        Q.    And what Oak Mortgage, one of the parties in the

23   lawsuit, whom we've sued, what it said is that you can solicit

24   your book of business and your customer database, right?

25        A.    That's what this says there. That's their opinion, I
 1   guess, at that moment.

 2        Q.     So they weren't concerned about the differentiation

     between a borrower and a referal source. They said, "Solicit

     from everyone who is a customer."

          A.      I don't know what they were concerned about or what

     they were trying to differentiate at the time.

          Q.      That's what they wrote. That you can solicit your

 8   customers?

 9        A.     You would have to talk to the gentleman who wrote the

10   document.

11        Q.      I'm asking you to read what they wrote. They said:

12   "You can solicit" --

13 A. I see what they wrote.

14                     THE COURT: I need you-all to stop talking all

15   over each other.

16                     THE WITNESS: I see what they wrote but, again,

17   I didn't write it.

18        Q.     (BY MR. BEHRENS) And that's the very -- it's the

19   very next day after this e-mail that you and Oak Mortgage had

20   the discussion about Oak Mortgage indemnifying you in a lawsuit

21   against AmeriPro, right?

22        A.      The previous document that you showed earlier that's

23   on the 11th?

24        Q.      That's right.

25        A. Okay. Yes.
                                                                      194

 1        Q.     And then you continued acting as a fiduciary for

 2   AmeriPro for a full month after having these discussions about

 3   solicitation of its clients for a competitor, right?

 4 A. I still was employed at AmeriPro for a month, yes.

 5        Q.     You're also aware that under your contracts with

 6   AmeriPro, you're not allowed to solicit or hire anyone who

 7   worked at AmeriPro, correct?

 8                    THE COURT: Mr. Behrens, is this a good place to

 9   stop for a --

10                    MR. BEHRENS: Yes, Your Honor.

11                    THE COURT: Whew, wishful thinking for the

12   afternoon for a break.

13                    MR. BEHRENS: Oh, for a break, yes. Thanks.

14                    THE COURT: You may step down.

15                    We are going to take a 15-minute break. It is

16   3:25 p.m.   So we will start at 3:40 p.m.

17                    (Break taken from 3:24 p.m. to 4:04 p.m.)

18                    THE COURT: Sorry for the delay. You-all may be

19   seated.

20                    MR. BEHRENS: Thank you.

21                    THE COURT: Okay, Mr. Behrens, you may proceed.

22                    MR. BEHRENS: Thank you, Your Honor.

23        Q.     (BY MR. BEHRENS) Sir, please turn to Exhibit 57.

24        A.     (Witness complies.)

25        Q.     Are you there?
                                                                     196

 1 A. I see the YouTube logo. Can they -- thank you.

2       Q.    You wrote, "Thank you for the update and direction."

 3 That's what you wrote back, right?

4 A. I see that, yes.

5       Q.    Other than to hide the fact that solicitation is

6 occurring, you can't think of any reason to wait one month to

 7 go after the other person, do you?

8 A. I don't know what other person we're referring to.

9       Q.    My question is different:

10                   Other than to hide the fact that solicitation

11 was occurring, you can't think of any reason why you were being

12 given the direction to wait one month before going after the

13 other person, correct?

14 A. I don't think it was in that context. I don't think

15 that's correct.

16       Q.   Turn to Page 81 of the transcript, please.

17       A.   The transcript?

18       Q.   Yes. Line 19.

19       A.   Slow down, please, sir. 81, did you say?

20       Q.   Yes. Page 81, Line 19.

21       A.   Okay.

22       Q.   Question:

23                    "Is there any business reason that you can think

24 of about waiting one month before you go after the other

25 person, other than to make it appear that it's not a
                                                                         97

 1   solicitation?"

 2                     Answer:    "You'd have to ask him.   No."

 3                     Question --

 4        A.      "You would have to ask him." Yes, that's correct.

 5        Q.      You can't think of any other reason?

 6        A.      Again, I don't know what the context or, again, you

 7   would have to ask Mr. -- you know, Mr. Thomas what he was

 8   referring to there.

 9        Q.      But you thanked him for that direction, correct?

10 A. I thanked him for the e-mail, yes.

11        Q.      Turn to Exhibit 58, please, the very next tab.

12   Exhibit 58 is a series of text messages between you,

13   Mr. Nasserfar, and someone at Oak Mortgage, correct?

14 A. I don't know.   It doesn't look like this is my text

15   messages.

16        Q.      Well -- and that's because you deleted yours, right?

17        A.      Not only -- from looking at this, this does not look

18   like mine.    This is Mr. Nasserfar's.

19        Q.      Do you see at the bottom it's produced by Oak

20   Mortgage?

21 A. I see that, yes.

22        Q.      Okay. On the very last page, the text at the top

23   are you there?

24        A.      Okay. The one that says "Group?"

25        Q.      The very top text is from someone that you're not
                                                                        201

     quite honest with you. It's just a list of names that folks we

     get referrals from.

          Q.   So Mr, Nasserfar sent you a list of all these folks

     at builder clients, and you don't have any memory of why you're

     getting this?

 6 A. I don't. No, sir.

          Q.   Okay. You never worked for any Brohn Homes account

     matters before you came to work at AmeriPro, correct?

          A.   Actually, yes, I did.

10        Q.   Please turn to Page 188 of your transcript.

11                   Line 13, question:     "When do you contend that

12   you had a relationship with borrowers at Brohn? When did that

13   first arise?"

14                   Answer: "I rarely worked on the Brohn account.

15   I would say over the course of the two years that Michael

16   Nasserfar and I were working together as a team. I may have

17   worked with three or four Brohn borrowers maybe when

18   Mr. Nasserfar was on vacation, something like that."

19                   Question:     "And when -- was it as early as

20   2011?"

21                   Answer: "No, sir."

22                   Question:     "It was after that?"

23                   Answer:     "It would have been after that."

24 A. I worked with Brohn prior to my employment at

25   AmeriPro, but it wasn't the Brohn account.
                                                                     203

 1        Q.     Exhibit 62.

 2        A.     Okay. And repeat the question?

 3        Q.     That's an e-mail you sent while you were still an

 4   employee of AmeriPro discussing a meeting that you and

 5   Mr. Nasserfar had with JB Goodwin, correct?

 6        A.     That e-mail, yes.

 7        Q.     And so while the two of you were still with AmeriPro,

 8   you met with a potential referral source at JB Goodwin,

 9   correct?

10 A. I met with a -- it looks like Judy Alloway.

11        Q.     My question:

12                    It was a potential referral source, correct?

13 A. It would have, I guess, been a potential referral

14   source but that's -- again, most relators are potential

15   referral sources.

16        Q.     And you and Mr. Nasserfar weren't meeting with JB

17   Goodwin as a potential referral source for AmeriPro, though,

18   were you?

19        A.     Just a general meeting. There wasn't really any

20   substance or agenda for that. We networked and talked to

21   relators on a daily basis.

22                    MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

23                    THE COURT: Sustained.

24        Q.     (BY MR. BEHRENS) You and Mr. Nasserfar weren't

25   meeting with JB Goodwin as a potential referral source for
                                                                    204

     AmeriPro, were you?

          A.   I wasn't meeting him for referral sources, no, sir,

 3   not with AmeriPro.

 4        Q.   You knew that you were about to start with Oak

 5   Mortgage, correct?

 6        A.   When the meeting occurred and I don't recall when the

 7   meeting was, but since -- this would be yesterday, so it would

 8   have been around January 14th. At that point, I knew that I

 9   was trying to get -- resign from AmeriPro, yes -- in the

10   process of.

11        Q.   Please turn to Page 178 of your transcript.

12                  Line 23:     "And so when you were trying to

13   look to JB Goodwin" -

14                  THE COURT:     Hold on.   Hold on.

15                  MR. BUNDREN:     Be just a second.

16                  Thank you.

17                  What's the line?

18                  MR. BEHRENS:     178, Line 23.

19                  MR. BUNDREN: Thanks.

20        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) "And so when you were trying to

21   look to JB Goodwin as a potential referral source, it was for

22   you at Oak Mortgage, correct?"

23                  Answer:     "I wouldn't say that 100 percent.

24   Again, the meeting wasn't about any immediate business, any

25   future business.     It was just an introduction."
                                                                       205

 1                     Question:    "Were you talking to her about being

 2   a referral source for AmeriPro?"

 3                     Answer:     "No."

 4                     Did I read that correctly?

 5        A.   You did read that correctly.

 6        Q.   In Line 10:

 7                     "Did you advise anyone at AmeriPro about this

 8   meeting that you had with JB Goodwin on January 14?"

 9                     Answer: "No."

10                     Did I read that correctly?

11        A.   You did read that correctly.

12        Q.   You're aware that any of your contract provision that

13   made any prospect something that you could not divert away from

14   AmeriPro, correct?

15 A. I'm sorry, say that again?

16        Q.   Yeah. Your contract required that you not divert any

17   prospect away from AmeriPro, correct?

18 A. I'm not 100 percent positive that's what it states.

19   But I didn't think at this particular instance was anything of

20   the sort -- such going on.

21        Q.   My question is:

22                     Are you aware whether Paragraph 5(f) of your

23   employment agreement --

24             Can I see that, sir?

25        Q.   Sure.
                                                                  217

 1 created, Windows artifacts that are within that date range,

 2 anything that looks like it could provide a clue as to how that

 3 computer was being used in the -- in the last couple of days or

 4 whatever the time frame given is.

 5       Q.   And the time frame given here was January 12th to

 6 January 15th, 2015?

 7       A. Correct. Yes.

 8       Q.   And was that your understanding is that -- that were

 9 the days -- the days right before Mr. Task resigned?

10       A.   That's correct.

11       Q.   So on Mr. Task's laptop, what were you able to

12 determine based on that initial evaluation?

13 A. I found through the Windows Registry examination that

14 there was one drive, one USB hard drive, that was connected to

15 this computer on the 15th and that was about 1:51 p.m., and

16 then there were -- I think I produced 15 link files to show

17 files that were being written to or created within that same

18 time frame.

19       Q.   Okay. Stop there. What do you -- what's a link file

20 that is written to or created? What does that mean?

21       A.   Link file is a shortcut file.   If you use a Windows

22 machine and you have the little icons on your desktop, that's a

23 shortcut. When -- when you open -- when you access a -- a Word

24 document, a link -- Windows will create a link file in the

25 recent documents folder and it just -- it tells Windows
                                                                     218

 1   everything it needs to know about that parent file. So I don't

 2   know if you've ever -- if you use Word and you -- you open Word

 3   the first time, you get a drop-down list of all the documents

 4   you have recently edited. That's where that comes from.

 5   Windows pulled that from a couple different places. But it's

 6   simply something that Windows does to track the file that you

 7   open so that the next time you open it will be a lot faster and

 8   you'll be happy with Microsoft.

 9        Q.   To backtrack a little bit, you saw that a USB device

10   had been installed on January 15th?

11        A.   Correct.

12        Q.   All right   What is the recent activity, what does

13   that mean to you?

14        A.   To me it means -- means very little.    I just -- I

15   will produce those files and the link files that are created

16   with that date range back for other people to look at, and then

17   they'll look at the file names and they will know whether or

18   not that was important or not.

19        Q.   Are those link files noted in your report --

20        A.   They are.

21        Q.   -- Exhibit 43?

22                  Where are they?

23        A.   There should be an attachment. Yeah. The list of

24   those link files is Exhibit 1.    It's A -- APF 00028187.

25        Q.   Okay. What else did you note in examining Mr. Task's
                                                                    219

 1   computer?

 2 A. I noticed a series of folders that had been deleted.

 3           Q.   What date?

 4           A.   They -- the dates they were deleted is not absolutely

 5   known. We know that they were last written on January 15th,

 6   which would be the last activity that something occurred to

 7   these folders before they were deleted. That could very well

 8   be the deletion date.

 9           Q.   And what else about that, how many deletions or

10   what -- if you look at your -- if you want to refer to your

11   report.

12           A.   Yes. The -- that's Exhibit 3 and it's APF 00028190

13   and there was a list of 62 folders that were deleted. What

14   was -- what I noticed about this is where they reside. They

15   reside off the root of C: and they appeared to be company

16   information or a folder that contained company information. So

17   the logical path in which they reside was

18   C:\mtask-ameriprofunding-clients-2012. So I made this

19   available to the reviewers with a note saying, "Look at this.

20   It's not typical for corporate data to reside on the root of a

21   C: drive because the IT people can't manage it." They can't

22   back it up and -- and keep up with the company data.     So that

23   may be important and it may not be. The reviewer would know

24   that.

25           Q.   All right. So just so I understand that, what you're
                                                                    220

 1   saying is there were -- there was a lot of AmeriPro information

 2   on the local drive or the C: drive on the laptop?

 3        A.   Correct.

 4        Q.   All right. And that there was evidence of deletion

 5   of folders?

 6        A.   That's correct.

 7        Q.   Your report talks about folder content. What       what

 8   are you saying about that?

 9        A.   Yeah, they -- because the folders are deleted,

10   anything contained within those folders would also be deleted.

11   So there were hundreds of files within these 62 folders that

12   once the folders become deleted, they -- they, themselves, also

13   are deleted from -- from the hard drive.

14        Q.   So are you saying that someone had to intentionally

15   delete folders and files?

16        A.   Yeah, there's -- there's been a folder deletion.

17   Somebody deleted the folders or something deleted these

18   folders, correct.

19        Q.   And how many files were deleted did you find?

20 A. 911 files.

21        Q.   Did you look at Page 3 of your report under the

22   heading "Deleted Files"?

23        A.   Yes. That's what I am looking at now.

24        Q.   All right. So the last paragraph, are you reaching

25   some sort of at least preliminary conclusion about what you've
                                                                         221

 1   examined on the computer?

 2          A.     Yes.

 3          Q.     What is that?

 4          A.     Yeah.    I just told someone to pay attention to this.

 5   It's        it would be consistent with files being copied or

 6   archived and removed immediately prior to being deleted.

 7          Q.     Being removed to?

 8          A.     Well, if you have a USB device that's plugged in

 9   before a bunch of files that -- that get deleted, then that

10   would be consistent with the activity of -- of copying files

11   and deleting files.

12          Q.     Is that what you saw here, the USB device was

13   inserted and then short -- within minutes a bunch of file

14   folders were deleted?

15          A.     That's what I'm seeing, yeah.      I'm just making people

16   aware that, you know, look at this. It might be important.

17          Q.     Now, you --

18                         MS. BURTON: We would ask that Exhibit 43 be

19   admitted, Your Honor.

20                         MR. BUNDREN: It's already marked as --

21                         MS. BURTON: Is it?

22                         MR. BUNDREN:   -- a deposition exhibit.

23                         MS. BURTON: Okay.    It's already admitted

24   Never mind.

25                         MR. BUNDREN:   I think it's, I believe, 153; is
                                                                      226

 1   what it was, and that's when I -- like I said, I was expecting

 2   to find forensic images, a production of forensic images, and

 3   when I started to review it, I found that it was actually some

 4   kind of e-discovery production. It contained a series of

 5   folders that appeared to be named after devices like computers

 6   and laptops and -- and e-mail accounts and then within those

 7   folders was what I would call a select production of files.

 8          Q.     And I think it was actually Exhibit 48, which is not

 9   45 like I said; is that right? 48, is that what you are

10   referring to?

11 A. I'm looking at 40 -- 48? Yes, that's -- yeah, it's

12   48.

13          Q.     So --

14          A.     That's correct.

15          Q.     So tell me what does 48 represent again?

16          A.     That's correct, yes.

17          Q.     What does that represent, 48?

18          A.     That is the -- the root structure of item 14 of

19   that        that USB device is what's on it.

20          Q.     So, explain what -- on 48 it's got a list of certain

21   things. What are those?

22          A.     Yes. And when I looked at, I don't know what the

23   control numbers are. I would say that COC-001 through 24 is

24   some kind of internal control number for somebody. The naming

25   convention when I see it explains to me that it is devices
                                                                      227

     belonging or used by certain people. For instance, COO -- or

     COC-001 would be an external hard drive used by Nasserfar, 002

     would be a thumb drive used by Task and on down the line. So

     when I first saw this, it told me that it was some kind of

     selective production from those devices that was organized in

 6   these folders and put on the hard drive that we received.

 7        Q.    Why do you say "selective production"?

          A.    Because it's not the original device.    It doesn't

 9 have the file system metadata or any other artifacts that a

10   forensic examiner would need to authenticate the evidence.

11        Q.    Okay. So these were not forensic images?

12        A.    These are not forensic images.

13        Q.    So you say it doesn't have the metadata. What do you

14   mean by that?

15        A.    The file system metadata is -- is what an examiner

16   needs to determine authenticity that is specific to each

17 device.     It will be a master file table.   It will be the

18 unallocated clusters.     It would be the file select.   It will be

19 the recycle bin artifacts for that device. It will be bitmaps.

20 It will be all of those -- those things that are specific to a

21 device like card catalogs and shelves are specific to a

22 library.

23        Q.   So how does that hamper the investigation?

24 A. I don't know -- I don't know where any of this data

25 come from other than somebody named a folder and says it comes
                                                                    230

 1   deleted with system artifacts that show that folders were

 2   deleted, that -- actually, they were copied to this device on

 3   the 15th -- on May the 15th. They had to be deleted sometime

 4   after that date because they can't be deleted before they

 5   exist, that there -- there are items in the recycle bin,

 6   additional folders, that were actually placed in the recycle

 7   bin on the 19th and recycling in itself is a -- is, for all

 8   basic -- practical purposes, a deletion process and the

 9   unallocated clusters on this device are zeroed out. So

10   normally when you find deleted artifacts like this or you find

11   recycle bin artifacts, you can forensically recover them or at

12   least -- at least fragments of them, but the unallocated

13   clusters on this particular device contains nothing but zero

14   values so -- which is indicative of -- of unallocated clusters

15   being wiped, being basically sterile, contains no data.

16        Q.   Would you look at Exhibit 50 -- I'm sorry, 49.

17 A. 49?

18        Q.   Yes, sir.

19        A.   Okay.

20        Q.   Was that -- was that produced -- or made -- a copy

21   made from what was produced by Oak Mortgage's screen shot?

22        A.   Yeah. It appears to be a -- a property listed in

23   Windows on a device -- on a file name p&lnasserfar.xlxs.

24        Q.   And what -- and where does it -- based on your

25   analysis, where did this come from, the document that it refers
                                                                    231

     to? Where was it found?

 2 A. It was on -- it was on 14 or -- item 14 or item 17.

 3   I'm not sure which,

 4        Q.   All right.   If you look at that, what does this "Last

 5   saved by" mean and -- what does that mean?

 6        A.   "Last saved" is -- this is document metadata.    It's

     not file metadata, it's document metadata.   It's embedded into

 8   the document itself.   It's -- it's a part of that spreadsheet.

 9   "Last saved" would be a Microsoft element and what it's telling

10   you is when this last pulled up in Excel and saved, the last --

11   it was last saved by Jackson Thomas. Where Microsoft gets that

12   information is from user accounts. So I would say that this

13   was on a computer with a user account named Jackson Thomas and

14   it was last saved on -- on December 17th, 2014.

15        Q.   What document is it referring to that was saved?

16        A.   That's the p&lnasserfar spreadsheet.

17        Q.   Do you know who Jackson Thomas is? Are you aware who

18   Jackson Thomas is?

19 A. I have no idea.

20        Q.   Okay. And then if you look at Exhibit 50, what is

21   that indicating?

22        A.   Well, this file -- this file -- we're actually

23   looking at that folder because it's a folder name COC-018. It

24   would be on item 17. And we're looking at the -- again, the --

25   the property that's displayed by Windows of the p&lnasserfar
                                                                     232

 1 spreadsheet.

 2        Q.   Let's compare 49 to 50 again. Is there something

 3 different that's been added on 50?

 4        A.   When -- yeah. When you look at that folder structure

 5 you're looking at -- on item 50 you're looking at the COC-18

6    [sic] Jackson Thomas computer folder. There's two files that

 7   reside in that folder.   It's LO.docx and the p&lnasterfar --

8 which somebody misspelled Nasserfar looks like -- but

9 p&lnasserfar.xlsx, and then when you look at item 50, you'll

10 see we're -- we're looking at the COC-018 folder of item 17 and

11 it has a -- a PDF of what looks like it's been created from the

12 p&lnasterfar Excel spreadsheet, but the name is now spelled

13 right in the PDF and the LO.docx file is missing and the

14 thumbs.db file is the Windows artifact.

15        Q.   All right. So if I understand correctly, 49 and 50,

16 which one's for -- 49's from which device -- which --

17 A. 49 is -- will be the first one we -- let me see. 49

18 would be -- yeah, 49 would be the first hard drive we received,

19 which would be item 14.

20        Q.   All right. And 50 is from the second item we

21 received?

22       A.    Yes, and that would be item 17.

23       Q.    Is it 17 or 19?

24       A.    That is a good question. It may be 19.

25       Q.    Okay. All right. So in other -- just to wrap this
                                                                    233

 1   up, so what does this tell you about what was happening in the

 2   production by Oak on these hard drives, the difference between

 3   these two exhibits?

 4        A.   Well, in the -- to start with I was expecting

 5   forensic images of the source media on both of these and it's

 6   not there. The first one is some kind of selective file

 7   production that's in folders that contain names that tend to

 8   identify devices and people. The second production ends up

 9   being almost the same data without the names that identify

10   people and computers with some differences in files that exist

11   and files that don't exist and containing system artifacts,

12   system metadata, specifically master file table records that

13   show that files -- or folders, rather, have been deleted from

14   this device as well as folders being placed in the recycle bin,

15   and we actually have the security identifier of that recycle

16   bin so we can track that back to find out who did it if we had

17   the devices or if we had the domain controller.

18        Q.   Were you able to determine how many files were

19   destroyed or deleted?

20        A.   Ask that again.

21        Q.   How many files were destroyed or deleted, were you

22   able to determine that?

23        A.   We were. Is it an exhibit? I don't remember off the

24   top of my head.

25        Q.   I don't know that it particularly --
                                                                      234

 1        A.   Yes, it looks like it's here.    It's going to be

 2   there's 142 lines in this spreadsheet.

 3                     MR. BUNDREN: What exhibit is that?

 4        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) Yeah.

 5                     MR. BUNDREN: What exhibit are we --

 6        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) What are you looking at, Roy?

 7 A. I'm looking at --

 8                     MR. GARCIA: 46.

 9        Q    (BY MS. BURTON) Exhibit 46?

10        A.   Yeah.    That's -- that's item 46, correct.

11        Q.   Okay. So tell us again what -- how many --

12        A.   So this is the list of all of the folders that were

13   deleted from the second USB drive and you'll note that they

14   were created on the 14th and last written on the 14th and are

15   deleted. So they -- they had to be deleted at the 14th. But

16   when you look at the list, you'll see there's a 142 total lines

17   in the spreadsheet. The first one doesn't -- the first three

18   don't count. No, the first two don't count because they're

19   headers, so there would be 140 folders deleted from this USB

20   hard drive.

21        Q.   This was which thumb drive? Who -- who was -- whose

22   name was on it?

23        A.   This would be --

24                     MR. BUNDREN: Objection, form, referring to a

25   thumb drive.
                                                                       235

 1        Q.     (BY MS. BURTON) Flash drive.

 2        A.     Yeah,     Well, it's an external hard drive.   This will

 3   be the one that didn't have the folder that contained the names

 4   of the people and the computers. It was the second one

 5   received.   It's the one I've been calling 17.

 6        Q.     If you look on Exhibit 46 at the top, it says, "All

 7   folders resided in the COC-002 folder on the USB hard drive

 8   before they were deleted." Is that correct?

 9        A.     That's correct.

10        Q.     And that COC-002, does that refer back to -- so you

11   can identify where it came from?

12        A,     Well, that's the folder that resides on this -- on

13   this media and if you look at the -- item 14, the first media,

14   you'll see that COC-002 is identified as the Task thumb drive.

15        Q.     Okay. That's how they identified it when they

16   produced it?

17        A.     That -- the first time, yes.

18        Q.     If you will look at Exhibit 47.

19                       THE COURT: Is this a good place to break?

20                       MS. BURTON: Sure. Yes, Your Honor.

21                       THE COURT:   I mean, if you've got a little bit

22   more to just close out --

23                       MS. BURTON: Yeah. I can close out with him

24   and --

25                       THE COURT: That's fine.
                                                                   236

 1                     MS. BURTON:   -- and then I can be done.

 2                     THE COURT: Okay.

 3        Q.   (BY MS. BURTON) So, Mr. Rector, looking at Exhibit

 4   47, that also refers to a COC number, correct?

 5        A.   Yes. That's the recycle bin on the second hard drive

 6   and those are basically active artifacts. They were moved into

 7   the recycle bin. They have not been deleted as far as the file

 8   system is concerned, as far as the MFT records reflect. So

 9   they could be -- if it -- if you have that hard drive and it --

10   and you -- you tried -- tried to restore it, if they were

11   there, they would restore. What this shows -- reflects is

12   the -- where they were -- resided before they were recycled and

13   the date they recycled, and you'll see the original path. That

14   COC -- or COC-001, all of these folders were deleted from that

15   root or that parent folder.

16        Q.   What did they name -- what did they -- what did they

17   name the folder? If you look at COC-001.

18        A.   Yeah.    That's what it's named on this drive, but on

19   the first drive they produced, it had -- they named and

20   identified it as, yeah, "Nasserfar External Drive."

21        Q.   So -- okay. So those were folders that were recycled

22   off of that drive?

23        A.   Yes. And back on 40 -- is it 47? Yeah. The recycle

24   bin is associated to a domain user and that's that first line.

25   You'll see that big long SID number. For short, you can just

21         On the 27th day of May, 2015, the following proceedings

22 came on to be heard in the above-entitled and numbered cause

23 before the Honorable Gisela Triana, Judge presiding, held in

24 Austin, Travis County, Texas;

25         Proceedings reported by machine shorthand.
                                                                            30
A. I did.

           Q.      Okay.

                           MR. BUNDREN: Pass the witness.

                           THE COURT: Anything else, Ms. Burton?

                           MS. BURTON: No, Your Honor, we have no

     questions.

                           THE COURT: Okay. You may step down. Thank

 8   you. You may call your next witness.

                           MR. BEHRENS: Your Honor, we call Michael

10 Nasserfar as an adverse witness.

11                         (Witness takes the stand.)

12                         MR. BEHRENS: And, Your Honor, while he is

13 taking the stand, may I approach?

14                         THE COURT: Sure.

15                         MR. BEHRENS: Yesterday there was testimony that

16 Regulation P was enacted in 2014. We wanted the Court to take

17 judicial notice from the federal register.           It was enacted in

18 2011.        It was in place the entire time that Mr. Task and

24 here with him?

25                         MR. BEHRENS:   I'm sorry?
                                                                      31

 1                     THE COURT: Do you want the notebooks up here

 2   with him?

 3                     MR. BEHRENS: Our notebooks, but not this large

 4   one --

 5                     THE COURT: Okay.

 6                     MR. BEHRENS:   -- from opposing counsel.

 7                     THE COURT: I am just trying to get stuff away.

 8                     MR. BEHRENS: Yeah.

 9                   (Sotto voce discussion.)

10                     MR. BEHRENS: And also, Your Honor, like

11   yesterday we wanted to go ahead and give the witness and you

12   copies.

13                     THE COURT: That's fine.

14                            MICHAEL NASSERFAR,

15   having been first duly sworn, testified as follows:

16                            DIRECT EXAMINATION

17   BY MR. BEHRENS:

18        Q.     Mr. Nasserfar, please state your name.

19        A.     Michael Hooman Nasserfar.

20                     (Court Reporter requests clarification.)

21                     THE WITNESS: H-0-0-M-A-N.

22        Q.     (BY MR. BEHRENS) You resigned from AmeriPro on

23   Friday, January 16, 2015, correct?

24        A.     Correct.

25        Q.     The following Monday, January 19, Oak Mortgage opened
                                                                         32

     a new Austin office with you as its vice president of Austin,

     correct?

 3        A. Correct. Opened?

          Q.    Yes. And in addition to being vice president you are

     also Oak Mortgage's branch manager for Austin, correct?

          A.    Correct.

          Q.    Until you, Mr. Task, and Mr. Gosnay started working

     at Oak Mortgage on January 19, Oak didn't have a Lakeway

     office, did it?

10 A. I couldn't answer that question. I don't know where

11   the Austin office was. I know that several employees lived in

12   Lakeway.   I'm not sure.

13        Q.    Could you turn to your deposition at Page 25?

14        A.    Would that be in this book?

15        Q.    Yes. The one I handed you.

16                     It says, question:   "So in the Austin area, at

17   least, the only one that exist is the one you were running in

18   Lakeway; is that correct?"

19                     Answer: "Yes."

20                     THE COURT: Hold on. He's not there yet.

21                     MR. BEHRENS: Oh, I'm sorry.

22                     MR. BUNDREN: One second. What page are you on?

23                     MR. BEHRENS: Page 25.

24                     THE WITNESS: Page 25. What line?

25        Q.    (BY MR. BEHRENS)    Line 14:   "So in the Austin area,
                                                                     33

 1   at least, the only one that exists is the one that you were

 2   renting in Lakeway; is that correct?"

 3                  "Yes."

 4                  Question: "And to your knowledge, there was

 5   no    well, you said there was no Lakeway office prior to you

 6   and Task and Gosnay going to work for Oak; is that correct?"

 7                  Answer: "Yes."

8                   Did I read that correctly?

9         A.   Yes, you read that correctly.

10        Q.   When Tom Grant started Centerra Homes in 2009, you

11   were working with First Continental, correct?

12        A.   Correct.

13        Q.   But Mr. Grant used a different person, Roan King to

14   handle Centerra's lender business, correct?

15        A.   Say that again?

16        Q.   Tom Grant, when he started Centerra Homes, used a

17   different person named Roan King to handle the lender business

18   for Centerra, not you, correct?

19 A. I can't answer that.    I don't know. He used several

20   different people.

21        Q.   My point is, he's using several different people

22   other than you. You were handling the Guillen count -- account

23   and he used someone else, correct?

24        A.   No. I'm not familiar with that account.

25        Q.   You were there when he testified, weren't you?
                                                                     37

 1        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) But again, in terms of the lender

 2   relationship with Centerra Homes that began when Mr. Grant

 3   approached you and had discussions with you and Chad Overhauser

 4   at AmeriPro, correct?

 5 A. I think there's two unique things going on here.

6    There's a lender relationship and a personal relationship and

 7   the two are pretty symbiotic.

8                     I have a relationship with him personally,

9    professionally and when he spoke to me, it wasn't that just all

10   of a sudden out of the blue he decided to speak to me about me

11   being at AmeriPro and working with him at Centerra.

12        Q.   You did not handle the Centerra account until you

13   were at AmeriPro, correct?

14        A.   Correct.

15        Q.   Let's talk about your time at AmeriPro.

16                    You first became a manager at AmeriPro in

17   December of 2012, correct?

18 A. I can't recall off the top of my head.

19        Q.   Can you turn to Page 47 of your deposition

20        A.   Yes.

21        Q.   Line 20.

22        A.   You say 47?

23        Q.   Page 47, yes.

24        A.   Line 20.

25        Q.   Question:     "So you first -- would you agree you first
 1   became a manager at AmeriPro in -- on December 1, 2012?"

 2                        Answer:   "Correct."

 3                        Did I read that correctly?

 4         A.   You read that correctly.

 5         Q.     From that point in 2012 forward and till you resigned

 6   in 2015, you understood that you owed a fiduciary duty of

 7   loyalty to AmeriPro, correct?

 8 A. I don't understand "fiduciary loyalty."

 9         Q.     Did you owe a duty of loyalty to AmeriPro during that

10   entire time you were a manager?

11 A. I don't -- I --

12         Q.     Turn to the very next page of your deposition Page

13   48.

14         A.     Okay.

15         Q.     Line 9.

16                        Question: "So when you became a manager at

17   AmeriPro, did you believe you owed a duty of loyalty to

18   AmeriPro?"

19                        Answer: "Yes."

20                        Did I read that correctly?

21         A.     Correct. You read that correctly.

22         Q.     You also understood that you owed a duty to devote

23   your full-time attention to running the AmeriPro branch office,

24   correct?

25 A. I believe I did so, correct.
                                                                     39

          Q.    You understood that keeping borrower account numbers

     private was at the utmost importance under the law, correct?

          A.    Correct.

          Q.    You personally kept a copy of AmeriPro's confidential

     general ledgers even after you resigned from the company,

 6   correct?

 7 A. I don't believe so.    I would like to know what you're

 8   referring to.

 9        Q.    Turn to Page 130 of your deposition.

10        A.    (Witness complies.)

11        Q.    Sir, it's Page 130. You can't do it one page at a

12   time to get there.

13 A. It's not a lot of pages at a time.

14        Q.    Page 130, please, are you there?

15        A.    Yes, sir.

16        Q.    Question, Line 9:    "And earlier we talked about this,

17   and you testified that a general ledger would be confidential;

18   is that correct?"

19                   Answer:   "A general ledger would be confidential

20   information."

21                   Then Line 19:    "This came through your attorney

22   pursuant to our request for production by AmeriPro. Did you

23   provide it to your attorney?"

24                   Answer:   "Correct.   I would have supplied this."

25                   You had a copy of the general ledgers after you
                                                                        40

     resigned from AmeriPro, correct? That's how you were able to

     give it to your attorney?

 3 A. I went on to say, in several different instances, I'm

     not sure of the 800 pages where it was produced whether via

     e-mail.     There's several instances in this deposition.

            Q.    Were you testifying truthfully when you said,

     "Correct.     I would have supplied this." Or were you being

 8   untruthful?

 9 A. I was being truthful, sir.   I 'm just saying that this

10   is a whole deposition. There's a different section in there

11   where I stated there was 800 documents provided, and I don't

12   know whether it would have been my supplying it or Michael Task

13   or Ty Gosnay.

14          Q.    You had a copy after you resigned from AmeriPro,

15   that's how you were able to give it to your attorney, right?

16 A. I said in my deposition, I would like to see where it

17   was housed and how it was given so I would know the exact

18   location.

19          Q.    Well, you didn't keep any copies of general ledgers

20   because of any concerns about needing to protect yourself, did

21   you?

22          A.    There was a copy set that Michael Task had kept, and

23   I didn't need to do a duplicate set for myself. I'm speaking

24   on behalf of myself.

25          Q.    Would you turn to Page 130 -- stay on 130 of your
 1   deposition.

 2                     Line 23:    "Why do you -- you still have a

 3   general ledger by branch which belongs to AmeriPro Funding in

 4   which you have testified as confidential?"

 5                     Answer:    "I can't answer that.   I don't know."

 6                     It's your testimony today that you did need it

 7   for protection?

 8        A.   Well, between Michael Task and I, we had maintained a

 9   lot of documents. He maintained it.        I didn't have it. Your

10   question was, "Did I produce it at one point to our attorney?

11   And my response was, "I'd have to see where it was housed in

12   order to know how that document was produced."

13        Q.   You and Mr. Task gave an entire years worth of

14   general ledgers, confidential general ledgers, to our

15   competitor, Oak Mortgage, correct?

16        A.   No. That's not correct.

17        Q.   On Page 132, if you turn there, Line 12.

18                     Question:    "So your testimony is that either you

19   or Mr. Task provided Exhibit 12, which is the general ledger by

20   branch to Oak Mortgage?"

21                     Answer: "Correct."

22                     Did I read that correctly?

23        A.   You did. Can I see Exhibit 12, please? So that I

24   can actually see what we are talking about.

25        Q.   I believe it's Exhibit 48 in the binder.
 1                 I'm sorry, 28.

 2                 And in the question, she actually identified it

 3 as the general ledger by branch, do you see that?

 4                 THE COURT:   Hold on. He's looking for 28; is

 5 that what you said?

 6                 MR. BEHRENS: Yes.

 7       A.   This was not something I had in my possession.

 8       Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) The testimony on Page 132 was

 9 Exhibit 12 and that's the exhibit sticker on that exhibit,

10 right?

11       A.   Correct.

12       Q.   And you answered "correct" when she asked you if you

13 or Mr. Task gave it to Oak Mortgage, correct?

14       A.   Correct.

15       Q.   And the general ledgers provided you and Oak Mortgage

16 a blueprint of all of AmeriPro's credits and debits for the

17 entire year at that Lakeway branch, correct?

18       A.   This was not given to Oak Mortgage.

19       Q.   Despite your testimony, to the contrary in

20 deposition?

21       A.   This was not given to Oak Mortgage.

22       Q.   So you're disputing what you said in deposition?

23       A.   This was not given to Oak Mortgage, sir.

24                 MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

25                 THE COURT: Okay. But you don't understand the
                                                                     43

 1 question. Your deposition said that, that was correct.

 2                 So are you changing your testimony?

 3                 THE WITNESS: At the time when I answered it, I

 4 answered it incorrectly.

 5       Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) So for at least three and a half

 6 months while you were still being paid to manage AmeriPro's

 7 branch office, you were negotiating with our competitor Oak

 8 Mortgage about getting a job there, correct?

 9       A.   What are the specific dates that you're referring to,

10 please?

11       Q.   If you turn to Page 23 of your deposition.

12                 Line 12, question:     "So at least three and a

13 half months while you were still employed by AmeriPro, while

14 you are still being paid by AmeriPro, you are negotiating with

15 Oak about getting a job there?"

16                 Answer: "Correct."

17                 Did I read that correctly?

18       A.   Correct.

19       Q.   During that three and a half months, you

20 systematically provided confidential information of AmeriPro to

21 our competitor Oak Mortgage, correct?

22 A. Incorrect.

23       Q.   Let's look at an example.

24                 First, you received a job offer from Oak

25 Mortgage by November 11, 2014; is that correct?
            A.   I don't recall off the top of my head.     I'm sorry.

            Q.   Please open the exhibit notebook to tab 27.       It's an

     e-mail that Oak Mortgage's senior vice president sent you on

     November 12, 2014
A. In the deposition or in -- I'm sorry,     I got

     confused.

            Q.   I said tab 27 of the notebook.

 8          A.   Sorry.     I can get there fast.   Sorry. Yes, sir.

 9          Q.   And the senior vice president wrote you that to make

10   an upcoming meeting effective, "I will need some more

11   information from you by the weekend." Do you see that?

12          A.   Yes.

13          Q.   And Oak Mortgage's list of things that he needed you

14   to provide included AmeriPro's 2013 and 2014 profit and loss

15   statements, correct?

16          A.   That's what that e-mail states, correct.

17          Q.   You knew that the competitor was asking for

18   confidential information of AmeriPro, right?

19 A. It appears that they're asking for very specific

20   items in their e-mail.      I don't know if it's confidential or

21   not.    That's -- I'm not an attorney.

22          Q.   If you turn to Page 125 of your deposition.

23                      Are you there?

24 A. 126, 125, yes, sir.

25          Q.   Line 17:    "Was that something that you said earlier
                                                                       45

     that P&L was confidential information of AmeriPro, correct?"

 2                    Answer:   "Correct."

 3                    Did I read that correctly?

 4          A.   You read that correctly.

 5          Q.   Exhibit 27 is an example of AmeriPro's competitor

 6   asking you for confidential information without AmeriPro's

 7   knowledge, correct?

 8          A.   Correct. They asked for information in that e-mail.

 9          Q.   Now, please open the exhibit notebook to tab 70.

10                    Are you there?

11          A.   Does it say "Offer Number 1" on top? Yes.

12          Q.   Okay. On November 17, 2014, you gave a copy of the

13   profitability report that's contained in this exhibit, correct?

14 A. I don't believe so.

15          Q.   You were there when Holden Thomas, the designated

16   representative of Oak Mortgage -- mortgage testified, weren't

17   you?

18          A.   Yes, I was.

19          Q.   And on this very exhibit you heard him testify that

20   you are the one who gave him that copy?

21 A. I gave him the report.     I don't recall if this is the

22   exact report.

23          Q.   Well, this is the report he produced to us in that

24   deposition --

25                    MR. BUNDREN: Objection, form.
                                                                        4d

 1           Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) Correct? You were there?

 2 A. I was there, and I don't remember off the top of my

 3   head.

 4           Q.   You don't remember that this report was brought that

 5   day?

 6           A.   No, sir, I don't remember.

 7           Q.   You did give him a copy of a profitability report,

 8   didn't you?

 9 A. I don't remember the exact title of the report, but I

10   gave them the report.

11           Q.   At that meeting, on November 17th, correct?

12           A.   Correct. At that meeting I did give him the report.

13           Q.   And you heard him testify that he scanned it onto Oak

14   Mortgage's computer, whatever you gave him that day, right?

15 A. I would have to see the -- I don't remember off the

16   top of my head exactly what he said during his deposition.

17           Q.   You provided -- whatever the report is that you --

18   will admit to have been provided that day, that was in direct

19   response to Oak Mortgage asking you for the profit and loss

20   statement of AmeriPro, correct?

21          A.    Correct.

22           Q.   The profitability report contains a list of borrowers

23   of AmeriPro, the fees they pay and their account numbers,

24   correct?

25          A.    Specific to what account number are you referring to?
                                                                       48

 1   could give out publicly?

 2        A.      No.

 3        Q.      It's confidential information, right?

 4 A. I -- I think we have a different understanding of

 5   confidential.

 6        Q.      Well, under your understanding, you are free to give

 7   loan numbers and the names of borrowers of the financial

 8   institution you work with to some third party; is that your

 9   testimony?

10        A.      No, sir.

11        Q.   You developed what you called a "builder centric

12   model" when you were employed at AmeriPro, correct?

13 A. I continued to use a builder model that I knew prior

14   coming to AmeriPro.

15        Q.      Turn to page -- or to tab 75 of the exhibit notebook.

16                      In the middle paragraph -- are you there?

17        A.   Yes, sir.

18        Q.   You wrote, "The builder centric model I have

19   developed here at AmeriPro," do you see that? "The builder

20   centric model I have developed here at AmeriPro," you wrote

21   that, didn't you?

22 A. I wrote that. Prior to that, I put "I have been

23   managing builder based mortgage platforms for the past 12 years

24   for several local and national builders."

25        Q.      My question was about the builder centric model --
                                                                     49

 1 A. I answered your question --

 2        Q.   -- that you developed at AmeriPro.

 3                     THE COURT: Guys, stop. Stop.

 4                     THE WITNESS: Yes.

 5                     THE COURT: Do not talk over each other. Stop.

 6                     THE WITNESS: Sorry.

 7                     THE COURT: I need you to wait for him to answer

 8   the question. If you have an objection to his response, then I

 9   need you to make an objection.

10                     MR. BEHRENS: Yes, Your Honor.

11                     THE COURT: I need you to wait for him to finish

12   the question before you answer.

13                     THE WITNESS: Yes.

14                     THE COURT: Okay.

15        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) You wrote that the builder centric

16   model -- I'm not asking about the platform. The builder

17   centric model is something that you developed at AmeriPro,

18   that's what you wrote, right?

19        A.   That's one sentence out of a paragraph that is being

20   taken out of context. I had been doing it for 12 years prior,

21   to which, I defined prior to that sentence in order to be able

22   to say I had history of doing this.     I didn't just start doing

23   it at AmeriPro.

24        Q.   And you said that "The builder centric model I have

25   developed here at AmeriPro is adding profitability, timely
                                                                      50

 1   closings, and assisting on making sales for our builder

 2   partners," did you write that?

 3        A.    Yes.    I wrote that.

 4        Q.    Was that a truthful statement that you were assisting

 5   your builders with their profits and timely closings and sales?

 6 A. I think I wrote it rather ambiguous and vague in

 7   regards to elicit a response from them; but to the extent I

 8   wrote that, yes, I wrote that.

 9        Q.    My question is different: Were you being truthful

10   when you wrote it?

11        A.    Was I being truthful, yes.

12        Q.    Okay. Turn to Exhibit 67     That's your Linkedln page

13   as of March 25, 2015, correct?

14                     Are you there?

15 A. I'm on 67. And what was your question?

16        Q.    That's your Linkedln page as of March 25, 2015,

17   correct?

18 A. It appears to be. This is a rather working document

19   but I don't know --

20        Q.    Is that a yes?

21 A. It says March 25th on there so...

22        Q.    As part of your work history at AmeriPro, you wrote

23   on the second page, "Three plus years currently managing

24   mortgage loans as the exclusive lender for three Texas-based

25   builders at AmeriPro," do you see that?
                                                                     51

 1        A.   Yes, I see that.

 2        Q.   And you're the author of that statement, aren't you?

 3 A. I don't recall if it was all my doing or if our

 4   marketing person at AmeriPro assisted and/or our -- I forget

 5   her compliance -- I forget her title, Rachel Fowler. I had

 6   several people I had to check with before I put anything on

 7   there.

 8        Q.   And then before you put anything on there, you're

 9   talking about your Linkedln page?

10        A.   Correct.

11        Q.   But you are the one who put it on the Linkedln page,

12   right, that statement?

13        A.   Correct.

14        Q.   So what you represented to the public in Exhibit 67

15   is that you managed loans as "exclusive lender for three

16   Texas-based builders," right? Were you being truthful?

17        A.   Prior to that statement I also wrote seven years

18   managing Meritage Homes Loans, Hammond, Legacy, Meritage. Two

19   years with Gehan Homes and I went on to say that I have been

20   working three years with three Texas-based builders.

21                  MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

22                  THE COURT: Sustained.

23        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) Were you being truthful when you

24   represented to the public that you had -- it was an exclusive

25   lender for three Texas-based builders at AmeriPro?
                                                                       52

 1 A. I was being truthful, yes.

 2        Q.   And the three builders you were referring to were

 3   Centerra Homes, Brohn Homes, and Clark Wilson, correct?

 4 A. I would have been referring to those three builders.

 5        Q.   I'm sorry?

 6 A. I would have been referring to those three builders.

 7        Q.   After your deposition in this lawsuit, you went back

 8   to that Linkedln page and deleted that statement, right?

 9 A. I recently have changed my Linkedln. I've done it

10   several times.

11        Q.   So that's a yes to my question, you deleted that

12   reference after your deposition, right?

13 A. I have.

14        Q.   Please turn to Page 70 or to tab 76.

15                    This is printed from a USB device you provided

16   in discovery, and it's a November 26, 2014 expense report you

17   submitted to AmeriPro for payment, correct?

18 A. It appears to be.

19        Q.   And one of the things you asked AmeriPro to pay you

20   back for was taking representatives from Centerra, Brohn, and

21   other clients to dinner and lunches, correct?

22        A.   There's a couple on there for that, correct.

23        Q.   Part of what AmeriPro paid you to do was to build

24   goodwill with its builder customers, correct?

25 A. It wasn't in my employment agreement.
                                                                     C:3

 1        Q.   But that's part of what you did as your lob was to

 2   build goodwill with these customers, right?

 3 A. I believe so.

 4        Q.   The second to the last reimbursement expense you

 5   submitted, it lists Tamela Taylor and that's now Tamela Taylor

 6   Thompson, right, at Centerra Homes?

 7 A. I know her as Tamela Taylor, but, yes.

 8        Q.   And you met with her just three days after you got a

 9   job offer from Oak Mortgage, right?

10 A. I can't recall the specific dates other than this

11   date that's on this document.

12        Q.   And that's -- two days -- though you remember after

13   you gave Oak Mortgage a copy of a profitability report on

14   November 17, right?

15 A. I don't recall off the top of my head the specific

16   dates.

17        Q.   Now, in your contracts with AmeriPro, you agreed that

18   leads and loans in-process are the property of AmeriPro, right?

19        A.   Yes.

20        Q.   And you contractually agreed to provide AmeriPro a

21   written list of all open leads, business prospects, and/or

22   loans in-process as of the date of your termination, correct?

23        A.   Correct.

24        Q.   And you did have loans still on process when you left

25   AmeriPro, right?
                                                                       55

     deposition.

          A.   I'm on 157.

          Q.   I'm sorry.     Page 156.

          A.   Okay. I can get there fast.

 5        Q.   Line 18:     "You didn't tell anyone at AmeriPro that

     you were resigning prior to resigning; is that correct?"

          A.   Did you tell anyone at AmeriPro that -- no, I didn't

     tell anyone at AmeriPro I was resigning until I resigned.

          Q.   I'm trying to find the quote.     I'll have to come back

10   to it.

11                  AmeriPro's president and general counsel did try

12   to call you after you resigned, correct?

13        A.   Yes. I had some phone calls from --

14        Q.   And you didn't return any of them, did you?

15 A. I didn't. There was nothing in the message that said

16   anything explicit that they needed      They were just calling.

17        Q.   After you resigned you never contacted or returned

18   calls to anyone at AmeriPro to help with the transition of any

19   of the loans that were in-process; is that correct?

20 A. I e-mailed the HR department, and I didn't get a

21   response back. I don't process or underwrite files. I'm not

22   allowed to contact borrowers. I can't contact my processors.

23   No one contacted me to help assist on any questions they had on

24   these files.

25        Q.   On Page 157, Line 9:
                                                                    56

 1                  Question: "And did you either before or after

 2   you resigned contact somebody at AmeriPro to help with the

 3   transition of those loans?"

 4                  Your answer was "No," is that correct?

 5        A.   That is correct.

 6        Q.   And Chad Overhauser tried to contact you and you

 7   didn't return his calls, right?

 8        A.   His message was indiscreet, did not ask for anything.

 9        Q.   Well, you didn't call him back, right?

10 A. I didn't feel a need to call him back.

11        Q.   Well, Ali Hedayatifar tried to call you and you

12   didn't call him back, right?

13        A.   That is correct. His message was not in regards to

14   any loans in process or any questions he had about them.

15        Q.   And the president of Tenura Holdings, the parent

16   company, tried to call you and you didn't call him back,

17   either, correct?

18        A.   Kevin Klein's voicemail to me did not say anything

19   about loans in processing. So according to help in processing

20   of loans or questions they had, there wasn't anything in

21   voicemail. I didn't receive any calls to help in processing of

22   these loans.

23                  MR. BEHRENS: Objection, nonresponsive.

24                  THE COURT: Sustained.

25        Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) However, even though you didn't
                                                                           57

 1   return those calls, you did contact the builders for whom

 2   AmeriPro had been the exclusive lender, and you told them you

 3   were leaving, right?

 4 A. I did.

 5           Q.   And please turn to tab 77 of the notebook.

 6                     On December 23, 2014, you e-mailed Oak Mortgage

 7   personnel and Mr. Task that you were driving almost 200 miles

 8   and dropping in on --

 9                     THE COURT:     Hold on.   Hold on.    Hold on.

10                     THE WITNESS:     I'm sorry, sir.     I don't have a 77

11   unless my counting is bad.

12                     THE COURT: There's two notebooks.

13                     THE WITNESS: It goes 76, 78. 77?

14                     MR. BEHRENS: The one that has 77 in it, right.

15                     THE WITNESS: This one does not -- this one --

16   again, my numb -- counting could be bad, but this only goes to

17   41 and this other just doesn't have a 77 in it. So I

18   apologize.

19                     THE COURT: You're saying it's missing it?

20                     THE WITNESS:     I believe so, yes. 75 --

21                     THE COURT:     Let me see if I've got it here.

22                     THE WITNESS:    I'm sorry.

23                     MR. BEHRENS: May I approach the witness with a

24   copy?

25                     THE COURT: Sure.
                                                                        58

 1                      THE WITNESS: Thank you, sir.

 2                      MR. BEHRENS: You bet.

 3            Q.   (BY MR. BEHRENS) You e-mailed Oak Mortgage that you

 4   were driving almost 200 miles and dropping in on all builder

 5   contacts, correct?

 6            A.   Can I have a moment to read the e-mail, please?

 7            Q.   You bet.

 8            A.   Thank you very much.

 9                      Yes -- can you repeat your question? I've read

10   it - -

11            Q.   Right.

12            A.   -- and I think I can answer your question better now.

13            Q.   Now, this is an e-mail not to AmeriPro management but

14   to Oak Mortgage, right?

15            A    It appears to be, yes, sir.

16            Q.   And you told Oak Mortgage, the competitor of the

17   company you were working for, that you had driven almost 200

18   miles and were dropping in on all builder contacts, correct?

19            A.   Correct.

20            Q.   You were still under a duty of loyalty to AmeriPro at

21   that time, correct?

22            A.   Yes, sir.

23            Q.   And you told Tom Grant, the president of Centerra

24   Homes, on January 8 or 9 that you're resigning, correct?

25 A. I don't recall off the top of my head the specific
                                                                        59

 1   date.

 2           Q.   Well, a few days before you made that call, whatever

 3   the date was, Oak Mortgage sent you some scrips to use when you

 4   called AmeriPro clients, right?

 5 A. I'm sorry. That insinuates I use some scripts?

 6           Q.   My question was: Did Oak Mortgage send you scripts

 7   to use when you called AmeriPro clients?

 8           A.   To my knowledge, no.

 9           Q.   Turn to, if you would, tab 78 of the notepook.

10 A. 75, 78.

11           Q.   Are you there?

12           A.   Yes, sir.   Can I read this? I -- it seems a little

13   long     April 17th, January 8th. I see an e-mail from Jackson

14   to me on April 8th.

15           Q.   Do you see one from Heather Moorman to you in the

16   middle of the page?

17           A.   January 6th, yes, I do.   I see that.

18           Q.   And she wrote "Attached you will find a copy of

19   scripts to help you with your transition. These scripts will

20   help you for the following scenarios. And the scenarios she

21   included are relators of pipeline, all other realtors,

22   borrowers in pipeline, all previous clients and database,"

23   correct?

24           A.   Correct. That's what she states in her e-mail.

25           Q.   And those scripts included highlighting the benefits,
                                                                     60

 1 that was highlighting the benefits of you going to Oak

 2 Mortgage, correct?

 3 A. I wouldn't know.   I didn't receive this e-mail from

 4 Heather, and I believe Jackson was reforwarding something to

 5 me. As I don't check my personal e-mail that often and it is a

 6 Google account or Gmail account, I believe this went into spam.

 7 I don't recall ever reading or seeing this e-mail.

8        Q.   But Oak Mortgage, your new employer, was sending you

 9 scrips to use for borrowers in pipeline and relators in

10 pipeline to highlight the benefits of you moving to a different

11 company, right?

12       A.   You would have to speak with Heather Moorman    I

13 don't know why she sent that.    I didn't use -- I don't use

14 scripts.   I don't need to use scripts.   I have relationships

15 with these people.    I don't need to script anything.

16       Q.   And I don't believe we got this copy from Heather

17 Moorman. We got it from you, didn't we?

18 A. I don't know who provided this document.

19       Q.   Turn, if you would, to Exhibit 58.   That's a text

20 message exchange between you and Tamela Thompson -- or formally

21 Tamela Taylor of Centerra Homes on January 13; is that correct?

22 A. I can't tell who's texting between who there.

23       Q.   If you turn to Page 204 of your deposition.

24       A.   Line 15?

25       Q.   Line 17:   "But this was sent to you while you were
                                                                         61

 1   still at AmeriPro -- an AmeriPro         AmeriPro employee,

 2   correct?"

 3                       Answer: "Yes."

 4 A. In Line 16:    "My Gmail gets a lot of junk mail.

 5   Prior to that, I just don't recall receiving it,"

 6                       "But this was sent to while you were still at

 7   AmeriPro, an AmeriPro employee, correct?"

 8                       Answer to your question, "Yes."

 9        Q.      So you did get it, correct?

10 A. It made it to my Gmail     Not to my -- I didn't review

11   it or see it.       I believe it went to my junk mail.

12        Q.      Well, you responded to her, didn't you?

13 A. I don't believe -- are we talking about -- what are

14   we talking about right now? I'm sorry.

15        Q.      Right now let's turn to Exhibit 58.      That's the text

16   message between you and Tamela Thompson at Centerra Homes,

17   correct?

18        A.      So are we talking about a Gmail or a text message?

19   I'm sorry.     I'm confused.

20        Q.      Are you on Exhibit 58, first off?

21        A.      Okay. So we're done with the Gmail?

22        Q.      Exhibit 58. Are you there?

23        A.      Yes.    I have Exhibit 58 open, yes, sir.

24        Q.      Tamela Taylor e-mailed or texted, "We've decided to

25   stand down and not do anything until we see what happens on
                                                                       66

 1   that as a contact for AmeriPro on your last day at work?

 2 A. I didn't have any intentions.     I was asked to meet

 3   with somebody, and I took them up on their offer to meet. I

 4   didn't mention Oak Mortgage in that meeting.

 5        Q.   One last topic:

 6                  On December 11, 2014, you had a conversation

 7   with Oak Mortgage about it indemnifying you if AmeriPro were to

 8   sue you, correct?

 9 A. I don't recall.     I'd need to see where you're

10   sourcing that from, please.

11        Q.   And just to be sure, is it your testimony, your sworn

12   testimony that you don't remember having such a conversation?

13   I want to be clear on that.

14        A.   Off the top of my head, I don't recall a specific

15   date and this specific conversation.

16        Q.   I -- okay. Did you have a conversation by which Oak

17   Mortgage would agree to indemnify you if AmeriPro sued you?

18        A.   Correct.     There was.

19        Q.   And it was in December 2014, when you had that

20   conversation, correct?

21 A. I don't recall off the top of my head.

22        Q.   Turn to tab 81.

23        A.   Thank you.     I was just

24        Q.   Second page.

25        A.   Sorry.     I'm there.
                                                                      67

 1        Q.    And on the second page, it says, "Per the phone

 2   conversation held on December 11, 2014," and then it goes on to

 3   discuss the indemnity below, correct?

 4        A.    Correct.    It says that in the offer letter indemnity.

 5        Q.    And that's your signature at the bottom of that page,

 6   correct?

 7        A.    Yes, sir, that is my signature.

 8        Q.    You did not have Brohn Homes as a customer prior to

 9   beginning at AmeriPro, did you?

10 A. I wasn't working with Brohn Homes. I was working

11   with their sales agents and the referral sources of Brohn

12   Homes --

13        Q.    My

14        A.         Ryan, Robin, Matt and --

15        Q.    My question is about Brohn Homes.

16                     MR. BUNDREN: Let him finish his answer, please

17                    THE WITNESS: I

18                    THE COURT: Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

19                     He is saying to let him finish.

20                     Do you have an objection?

21                     MR. BEHRENS: I do. Objection, nonresponsive

22                    THE COURT: Sustained.

23        Q.    (BY MR. BEHRENS) My question is about Brohn Homes.

24   You did not have Brohn Homes as a customer before you began at

25   AmeriPro, did you?
                                                                       68

 1        A.   Defining customer is -- I can't answer your question

 2   without definition of customer.

 3        Q.   Were you the preferred -- I'm sorry. Were you the

 4   preferred lender for Brohn Homes before you began at AmeriPro?

 5   You were --

 6        A.   Of Brohn Homes, I assume we're still talking about?

 7        Q.   That was my question, yes.

 8 A. I was not the preferred lender for Brohn Homes.

 9        Q.   And you were not for Seaholm, were you, before you

10   began at AmeriPro, correct?

11 A. I was not the preferred lender for Seaholm prior to

12   the AmeriPro, correct.

13                    MR. BEHRENS: Pass the witness.

14                    THE COURT: Let's take a break.

15                    We are going to take our morning break and you

16   can step down.

17                    (Break taken from 10:29 a.m. to 10:58 a.m.)

18                    THE COURT: You-all may be seated. You want to

19   come back up.

20                    Well, I should say, are you going to direct him?

21                    MR. BUNDREN:       reserve.

22                    THE COURT: Okay. Then go back. Sorry. I

23   should have asked that. You may call your next witness.

24                    MR. BEHRENS: We rest at this point, Your Honor.

25                    THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Bundren, you may call
                                                                     127

 1                     MR. BEHRENS: Just a few questions, Your Honor.

 2                            CROSS-EXAMINATION

 3   BY MR. BEHRENS:

 4        Q.    Mr. Task, can you turn to Exhibit 73 which should be

 5   redacted    Let's see. Yes.

 6                     Can you explain why you needed the credit score

 7   for a borrower for your salary dispute and what their social

 8   security number is?

 9        A.    No. But I don't know if this was necessarily

10   something that I was in possession of. I'm not sure. It says

11   Michael Nasserfar requested the report.

12        Q.    Well, we got the copy back from you-all

13        A.    Right.

14        Q.    And you can't think of any reason related to a salary

15   dispute that you or Mr. Nasserfar has to know the credit score

16   for this borrower?

17        A.    There is no reason.

18        Q.    If you turn to Exhibit 74, is there any reason for

19   you to know the monthly income for your borrower and their

20   social security number for your salary dispute?

21        A.    Not those specific items, no, sir.

22        Q.    But you took it, you and Mr. Nasserfar took it

23   anyway, right?

24        A.    And gave it back. Don't have that anymore.

25        Q.    You gave copies of that bankers box full of financial
 1   information from AmeriPro to Mr. Gosnay to scan at Oak

 2   Mortgage's offices, correct?

 3        A    We scanned them, correct.

 4        Q.   And also explain now you needed for your salary

 5   dispute why it is that Oak Mortgage has that copy of our

 6   profitability report on its computers?

 7 A. I have no idea.

 8                     MR. BEHRENS: Okay. Pass the witness.

 9                     THE COURT: Anything else?

10                           REDIRECT-EXAMINATION

11   BY MR. BUNDREN:

12        Q.   Mr. Task, would you look at 31, please, Plaintiff's

13   Exhibit 31. We will give it on the screen here.

14                     I believe this is a letter to you dated January

15   the 20th of 2015 from the general counsel, let me just

16   pronounce it that way, of AmeriPro; is that right?

17        A.   That's right.

18        Q.   When you received this letter -- well, what did you

19   understand this letter to be demanding that you do?

20        A.   Well, it said --

21                     MR. BEHRENS: Objection. The document speaks

22   for itself and best evidence.

23                     MR. BUNDREN: I am just asking him what he

24   understood he was supposed to do after he received the letter.

25                     THE COURT: With the letter?
                                                                       174

 1   name.

 2           Q.   That would require dissolving a contract by which

 3   AmeriPro purchased it from you, correct?

 4 A. Is there a sale return option on there? Because if

 5   that's the case, I'd like for you to sell it back to me.

6            Q.   You understand that AmeriPro takes the position that

 7   you were not in good standing with the company when you left?

 8 A. Is that a question?

 9           Q.   You understand that, don't you?

10 A. If that's what you're telling me, I understand it.

11           Q.   Is it your position that if AmeriPro didn't pay you

12   what you thought you were entitled to, that you were free to

13   give its internal confidential documents to a competitor?

14           A.   That's not why I did what I did.

15           Q.   I'm sorry?

16 A. I didn't give one because of the other.

17           Q.   But you did give confidential information to Oak

18   Mortgage? You gave, for instance, a loan profitability report,

19   right?

20 A. I think there's a debate about what we feel is

21   confidential, and that's for lawyers to decide. I don't agree

22   with your definition of confidentiality.

23           Q.   Okay. Would you turn to Exhibit 72.

24                     In the upper right-hand corner of Exhibit 72, it

25   says "Nasserfar personal e-mail," correct?
                                                                      175

 1          A.   Yes.

 2          Q.   Correct?

 3          A.   Nasserfar personal e-mail.

 4          Q.   But instead of personal e-mail, you see that it has

 5   several borrower credit reports and loan applications in this

 6   file, correct, that you called your personal e-mail?

 7 A. I cannot tell what this is from.

 8          Q.   If you go four lines down, it says "credit report,"

 9   doesn't it?

10 A. It does say that. I can't tell you where this is

11   housed or formed in order to tell you what the document is or

12   where it exists.

13          Q.   Well, you produced it. This is from your production

14   back to us, a supposed Nasserfar personal e-mail?

15 A. I don't --

16          Q.   And it instead consists of credit reports and loan

17   applications, right?

18 A. I don't have this documentation to tell where it's

19   from or what its actual documentation shows.

20          Q.   But you have had it for the last five months, haven't

21   you?

22          A.   No, sir, I have not.

23          Q.   You had it on a USB device, correct?

24 A. I returned everything off the top of my head.

25          Q.   Okay. You've testified that you've met Clark Wilson
                                                                   177

 1        A.   Actually, as I stated, I closed the loan prior to

 2   meeting with him. And it was Blake Outlaw who had also helped

 3   in making the introduction along with another person named

 4   Chris Easter who is the sales agent.

 5        Q.   And --

 6        A.   And in doing so, closing that loan prior to, I asked

 7   for a meeting with Clark Wilson. After that meeting in

 8   August -- I don't remember the exact date. I just remember

 9   being hot and drinking coffee was probably not the best idea on

10   that day, that he said, "Hey, man, I will work with you.

11   That's fine."

12                   So at that point, after meeting with Clark

13   Wilson, I was a preferred lender in his eyes. He would start

14   sending me business.

15        Q.   When you had your meeting with Clark Wilson and then

16   started getting business from Clark Wilson, you were at

17   AmeriPro, correct?

18        A.   Not in August of 2011.

19        Q.   When you starting getting actual loan referrals from

20   Mr. Wilson, were you at AmeriPro?

21        A.   For the majority of the time I worked with Clark

22   Wilson, is that your question? I could have received loans

23   before I started AmeriPro from Clark. I don't recall.

24        Q.   You don't recall if you received any loans before you

25   started at AmeriPro, correct?
                                                                   178

 1        A.   That was four years ago. I remember meeting with

 2 him, and that's what I recall off the top my head.

 3                   MR. BEHRENS:    I'll pass the witness.

 4                   THE COURT: Anything else?

 5                         REDIRECT-EXAMINATION

 6 BY MR. BUNDREN:

 7        Q.   Just one point of clarification.

 8                   I want to be clear, Mr. Nasserfar. At Centerra

 9 today, are there sales agents that are referring you business

10 today?

11                   MR. BEHRENS: Objection, leading.

12                   THE WITNESS: Yes.

13                   THE COURT: Overruled.

14                   THE WITNESS: Yes. At Centerra today, there are

15 sales agents that refer me business.

16        Q.   (BY MR. BUNDREN) And did you get referrals of

17 business from those sales agents before you went to work at

18 AmeriPro when you were somewhere else?

19                   MR. BEHRENS: Objection, leading.

20                   THE COURT: Overruled.

21                   THE WITNESS: Yes. They referred me borrowers

22 prior to that as well.

23                   THE COURT: Can we find any questions that I

24 haven't heard ten times already, possibly? This is not

25   the-last-one-who-speaks-wins.    I'm old, but I am not that
                                                                       206

 1                     We don't want any of their files. We don't want

 2   any of their documents. We have tried to give them back three

 3   times, and they haven't even looked at them. We don't want

 4   them.

 5                     The Court has already ordered that Mr. Whitfield

 6   is going to provide to Mr. Rector the images. So what we would

 7   like to have the Court order is that AmeriPro review those

 8   images under AEO, as the Court has ordered, and identify the

 9   files that they contend exist on those images and then tell us

10   what those are. And if we can reach agreement, they can have

11   them. If we have some dispute about whether or not a file is

12   their file or our file -- is it a personal file or not, then we

13   can talk about that later. But tell us what files they

14   think     they are going to have the images. So what they

15   ought to do is to tell us what files they claim are theirs.

16                     If we agree, we can solve that problem and we

17   can go about our business and prepare for trial. I think

18   that's a great solution to solving that.

19                     I don't want to be back in here being threatened

20   again with a motion to show cause for contempt because we

21   missed some file. Let them search the images and find the

22   files they want and tell us, and then if we agree, we don't

23   have a dispute.

24                     All those files will be returned, if they

25   haven't already been returned. So if there is any file still
                                                                    208

     just wanted to point that out to the Court.

                    And it says that in the event the contract is

 3   construed, it won't be construed against either parties of the

 4   drafter of the agreement. And the Supreme Court has gotten

 5   away from that any way with the four corners rule.

 6                  Instead of a -- this strict, like rigid, we are

 7   going to interpret it one -- against one side or the other

 8   They said, "We're going to look at the four corners of the

 9   document and look at what the parties' intent was."

10                  That's all I wanted to point out.

11                  Thank you.

12                  THE COURT: Okay. You're welcome. Okay.

13                  So the Court will rule as follows. The Court

14   will grant the temporary injunction as follows:

15                  First of all, I have already ordered and -- for

16   Mr. Rector to have access to the forensic images of all of the

17   respondents' devices and also for the respondents to have

18   access to all forensic images of the respondents' computers

19   that were left, the lab tops -- or I guess they were lab tops,

20   or hard drives, of the computers that belong to the applicant.

21                  I am enjoining respondents from using any of the

22   information that was taken from the applicant. My

23   understanding is that right now it -- all of that information

24   is being held by respondents' counsel and it will stay that way

25   as attorneys' eyes only and nothing will be done.     If the
                                                                      209

     :,arties can agree once everybody has exchanged forensic images

     as to what belongs to what party, then I will allow you-all to

3    go ahead and return what is the others as you-all see fit.

                       I am enjoining the respondents from soliciting

     business from Brohn Homes, from Seaholm -- the Seaholm condo

6    project, and from Wilson Clark Homes; however, I am not

     enjoining the respondents from soliciting business from

     Centerra Homes.

                       The TRO by the respondents is denied without

10 prejudice for the respondents to apply -- you know, have a

11 hearing on a temporary injunction and bring evidence forward

12 and argue it at that t-ime. I have already ordered, but I will

13 make sure that we are clear. Ordering the applicant to remove

14 any reference to Mr. Nasserfar from the michaelnasserfar.com

15 Web site.

16                     MS. BURTON: I'm sorry, Judo;, would you say

17 that -- we agree that we would remove all its videos,

18 likenesses, etcetera.

19                     THE COURT: Any -- any reference to him from the

20 Web site. Anything --

21                     MS. BURTON: From the AmeriPro Web site?

                       THE COURT: Correct.

23                     MR. BEHRENS: Yes.

24                     MS. BURTON: Okay.

25                     THE COURT: Anything else?
                                                                   210

  1                   MR. BEHRENS: No, Your Honor.

  2                   THE COURT: I think as to the TI and I will just

  3 say this to maybe move the ball along and maybe prevent there

 4 from being a hearing on your TI. I don't think that it's a bad

 5 idea that maybe you-all agree to just -- not get rid of the

 6 ".com" but just not go anywhere. You know, put a little -- I

 7 have had cases where you just put "This Web site is under

 8 construction" and it just doesn't go anywhere, If that's

 0 something that you-all might want to agree to that might

10 prevent them from coming back on a hearing as to that and then

11 you-all can dispute -- you know, in trials, you know, the

12 merits, who owns it and, you know, contractua'ly whether he

13 left in good standings or who breached the contract first or

14 what happened.

15                    As to the forms that he made at -- you know, you

16 are welcome to come and argue that. I just don't see how any

17 template that he made while he was working there is going to,

18 on a temporary injunction, be given back to him, but, you know,

19 you are welcome to try that.

20                    I will tell you that I am not keeping this case.

21 So you-all can go argue that in front of another judge, and I

22 am not saying it won't be me. Like I told you-all last time,

23 you had a 30 percent chance of getting me and you got me this

0/1,
       time, but if you-all want to go ahead and set that for a

25 hearing, you can do that.
                                                                   211

                    Mr. Behrens, I will need you to draft this order

     and circulate it to Mr. Bundren for his approval. I will

 3   remind you-all of the other things that I had already order as

 4   to the forensic imaging those were attorneys' eyes only for

 5   Graves Dougherty as to personal information. Nothing wrong

 6   with sharing it with general counsel as to anything that's, you

 7   know, relevant to this litigation or to AmeriPro.

 8                  MR. BEHRENS: Yes, Your honor --

 9                  MR. BUNDREN: Your Honor, we need to have a

10   bond, I believe, and I think that bond needs to be significant

11   if my clients are gcing to be enjoined from essentially working

12   with respect to some of these -- what I will refer to as

13   referral sources, but I understand the Court's ruling. So I

14   think we need to have a pretty significant bond that is

15   established by AmeriPro.

16                  THE COURT: So what bond is it that you are

17   asking?

18                  MR. BUNDREN: Your Honor, I don't -- I haven't

19   thought about that, but I was thinking a bond of couple hundred

20   thousand dollars will probably be sufficient.

21                  THE COURT: Mr. Behrens, what do you think is an

22   appropriate bond?

23                  MR. BEHRENS: One -- there -- no. There is no

24   basis for that amount. For instance, because they have taken

25   our ability to do business with them --
                                                                   212

 1                  THE COURT: My question was a simple one.

 2                  MR. BEHRENS: Okay.

 3                  THE COURT: What do you think the appropriate

 4 bond should be? At least I thought it was a simple question.

 5                  MR. BEHRENS: $5,000, Your Honor.

 6                  THE COURT: I am going to set the bond at

 7 $10,000.

 8                  Anything else that I have not dealt with?

 9                  MR. BEHRENS: Yes, Your Honor. This is pure

10 making sure we are in compliance with federal regulations. We

11 went back and did redacted versions of -- that had borrower

12 names on some of the exhibits. I don't think that should be

13 controversial in terms how that would -- affects either side.

';4 It just makes sure that -- like, if there is a Mr. Jones, who

13 had a loon, that Mr. Jones' name is not in the public record.

16                  THE COURT: So what is that you are asking me to

17 do?

18                  MR. BEHRENS: I am asking -- Mr. Garcia has some

19 redacted copies of certain exhibits and

20                  MR. GARCIA: 28, 30 --

21                  MR. BEHRENS:   I'm sorry.

22                  MR. GARCIA:    -- it's 28, 30, 36 and 37.

23                  MR. BEHHNS: Yes, I'm sorry. It's -- we'd ask

24 that the existing copies of Exhibits 28, 30, 36 and 37 be

     withdrawn and that the exact same exhibit be submitted in
                                                                      213

 1     redacted form that takes out the borrower names. So that if

       somsone goes through the public record, they wouldn't be able

       to sea a :30.i-rower and that really is to comply with a federal

 4     regulation that say: "A list or grouping of borrowers should

 5     not be disclosed."

 6                    THE COURT: Do you have, Mr. Bundren, any

 7     objection to that?

 8                     MR. BUNDREN: I don't have any objection to

 9     substituting stuff out for redacts.

10                    THE COURT: Okay.

11                     MR. EJNDREN: Potentially that information.

12                     THE COURT: Okay. So as to 28, 30, 36 and 37,

13     if you will provide the redacted version with a signature

14     okaying it from both sides if that is the redacted version,

15     then we will go ahead and substitute it.

16                     Is that going to be a problem?

17                    (Off the record discussion.)

18                     Okay. Let's go ahead and do that now.

19                     MR. BUNDREN: One other question, Your Honor.

20                     THE COURT: Yes, sir.

21                     MR. BUNDREN: One other question on the

22     injunction, Your Honor. The nonsolicitation provisions of this

22     contract only apply for one year from the time they terminate

9L1.   and they expire after one year. While I can't say that I agree

25     with the Court's injunction, I think that the injunction needs
                                                                  214

 1   to expire on the anniversary of their termination and that

 2   language needs to be in the order.

 3                  THE COURT: I think you-all need to get this

 4   settled before then. I am going to order you-all to mediation.

 5   So you-all can figure that out before the year is done. And I

 6   know I don't need to talk to you-all about this, but the

 7   language of the temporary injunction is going to be very

 8   specific as to what the contract says which is soliciting.

 9   You-all can argue about what that means from here till

10   tomorrow. You-all can argue about whether the year was based

11   starting, I guess on the 15th? Is that the date?

12                  MR. BUNDREN: For -- for this --

13                  THE COURT: January 15th. I am assuming that

14   you-all can argue that since they have been not complying with

15   that, but it shouldn't run, but I will let that argument be for

13   another day. So I am n7t going to -- I am not going to add

17   that language into my temporary injunction, but I am going to

18   order you-all to mediation.

19                  Anything else?

20                  MR. BEHRENS: No, Your Honor.

21                  MR. BUNDREM: Nothing else, `hur Honor.

22                  THE COURT: Can you-all take this stuff away

23   from me, please.

24                  Let me make sure so we are good with the

25   exhibits. And actually, we're going to -- I'm going -- these
                                                                   215

 1 are the following exhibits that have been withdrawn. We have

 2 already substituted 28, 30, 36 and 37. 25 and 26 Applicant's,

 3 both are withdrawn. So I don't want those.

 4                  As to the respondents, I have got 28, 29, 20

 5 through 25, and 70 through 75, and I am actually going to

     withdraw 26 as well. Those will all be withdrawn so we

     wouldn't have any problems with possible confidentiality

 8 issues.

 9                  Okay. Anything else from me?

10                  You-all are excused.

              We have received a fair amount of feedback regarding loan officer compensation. With [his feedback in mind,"~
              making adjustments to help meet your needs,

              Effective May 1s!, 2011, the low tier is being eliminated (0 - t loan, 72 basis points, 40%) It wilt be rolled into th
              second tier. The new tiers are as follow:

             Effective May 16th, 2011, there wil! be two compensation plan options:with ~ega~’d to [avenue caps.

                        Option I:          The current caps and floors.

                        ~]ote: We are seeking feedback on what the cap should be on this option. We understand there
                        some who would I~e to keep a ca.p so as to remain competitive or~ larger loans, but believe the
                        should be higher than the current $~,500. A good way to think about this is to ask how large of ~
                        can be sold at 180 basis pointS and set the cap at that point Please send this feedback to me di
                        in an ema:ii.

                         company data to resided, due IT not being able to back it up. It may be
                         necessary to consults with AmeriPro IT about this folder location for

Preliminary Observations

USB Storage Devices

        On January 15, 2015 at 1:51 PM, a Hagiwara USB mass storage device was connected to this
        computer and assigned the drive letter F. There are no recoverable file system artifacts that
        provide information about the contents of this storage device, or if files have been copied to or
        from it, but that is not an indication that files were not copied to the devices. Typically,
        Windows file system artifacts are created when a file residing on portable media is accessed or
        opened, but Windows does not create artifacts regarding a "cut and copy" or "copy and paste"
        of files to removable media. If this Hagiwara USB removable storage device was produced for
        analysis, forensic examination could confirm the serial number and contents.

Deleted Files

        Sixty two deleted folders are recoverable from the logical path of: C:\ MTask - AmeriPro
        Funding\Clients\2012\. The last written date and time stamps of the folders reflect 01/15/!5 in
       a 17 second time frame from 2:36:56 PM to 2:37:13 PM; therefore, the folder were active folder
       at this time, and this time reflects the last activib/at or prior to the time of deleted.

       Content of the folders consists of 9~11 files (accumulatively). All content of a folders was deleted
       when the each of the parent folders were delete. Many of not most of the files may be
       recoverable if content needs to be reviewed.

       Considering the 62 folders containing "old" files were accessed on 0:!/15/2015 just minutes
       after a USB mass storage device was connected to this computer, and these folders and all their
       content is now deleted -- this activity is typical of files being copied/archived to removable
       media prior to files being deleted.

                                                                                                       APF00028237

    Good Afternoon Ryan -

    buyers and as our team being chosen to be a preferred lender on the project.

   of those here in Austin. I’ve attached a brief bio that highlights the condo projects I have worked on locally over the
   years.

   With respect to scheduling a meeting - this week is pretty hectic - I am available for a phone call late tomorrow - Jan
   15th - any time after 3:30PM - and can be available face to face meeting this coming Monday, Jan 19th.     Please let me

                    04           Q    All right. Would you just kind of briefly
                    05      give me a background on your — kind of your — your
                    06      educational background, just real briefly, but — you
                    07      know, what you've done and where you grew up?
                    08           A    Raised in Houston, Texas, graduated from the
                    09      University of Houston, did some — part of my MBA at —

                    14    Texas.        No,    that was     '95.   Excuse me.    Transferred to
                    15    Cleveland, Ohio in 1997, started Avision there.   I was

                    20          A          Yes,    sir.
                    21          Q         Okay.        Have you operated with different names?
                    22          A          Kimball Hill Homes, Meritage Homes, and then
                  23      this —        our company, my company,           Centerra Homes.
                  24           Q          When did you first meet Michael Nasserfar, my
                  25      client?
            00008:01             A    When I was hired by Meritage Homes. I think
                  02        it was February — around February 14th, 2007, I
                    03      believe.          2007.
                    04              Q         How did you meet Mr. Nasserfar?
                    05              A         He was — we had a joint venture mortgage
                    06      company, and they officed out of our building over —
                    07      off of 183 and Mopac. And Michael's was part of the
                    08      joint venture with First Continental and Meritage Homes,
                    09      He was one of three loan officers that we had there.
                    10          Q         It's part of a joint venture?
                    11          A         Uh-huh.
                    12          Q         Is that correct?
                    13          A         Yes.
                    14          Q         Okay.       You were working with Meritage Homes at
                    15    the time?
                    16         A          Correct.                                                          „ EXHIBIT
                    17         Q    And           Michael was working with First
                    18    Continental?
                    19         A          Correct.
                    20         Q    And First Continental is a lending company
                    21    that does residential mortgages?                                               CL.    S^OHT

                   22           A       Correct.
                   23           Q       And he was a loan officer; is that right?
                   24           A       Correct.
                 25          Q    And was Mr. Nasserfar acting as a loan officer
           00009:01      for borrowers that were seeking to purchase a Meritage
                   02    home?
                   03               A    No,    I mean —   well,    I mean, we would sell the
                   04    home.  Then we would refer to the mortgage company.
                   05    Sometimes we'd have them look at them before we — you
                   06    know, it depended.
                   07                   Like, if you had an entry-level buyer, a
                   08    lot of times, you'd want to look at the — at their
                   09    credit worthiness before you went through all the
                   10   trouble of writing the contract.  But for the most part,
                   11   we were a first-time, move-up and luxury builder.  And
                   12   so the majority of our — our contracts were written and
                   13   then referred to the mortgage company.
                   14           Q       Was Mr.    Nasserfar the loan officer who
                   15   assisted the borrowers with their mortgage?
                   16           A       Correct.
                   17           Q       And they were going to purchase the home from
                   18   Meritage?
                   19           A       Correct.
                   20           Q       And you worked at Meritage?
                   21           A       Correct.
                   22           Q Okay.  How long did that relationship, as you
                   23   just described, how long did that go on?
                   24           A       It was almost two years.         I think I left in
                   25   November 4th,          2009.
           00010:01                 Q    Did you stay in contact with Mr. Nasserfar?
                   02               A    Yes.
                   03         Q    Okay.  And when you — you say you left.   Is
                   04    that when you left Meritage?
                   05         A    Meritage did a consolidation between Austin
                   06    and San Antonio,          and I was not retained in that
                   07    consolidation.
                   08               Q    And where did you go after Meritage —          after
                   09    you left there?
                   10        A     I started my own company the next day,
                   11   basically.   There — there wasn't — you know, 2009, it
                   12   was a — the worst part of the market here.    There
                   13   wasn't any cover.   There was nowhere to go, so, you
                   14   know,       I mean,    I could sit around and wait for the market
                   15   to recover or go do something.               So my partner and I
                   16   decided — decided we'd start our home building company.
                   17        Q   And what was the name of that company?
                   18        A          Centerra Homes of Texas, LLC.
                   19        Q          Okay.  And what is your position with the
                  20    company?
                  21         A    You know, there's two of us, so I'm manager,
                  22    I'm president and principal.  You know, whatever.  Kind
                  23    of wear all the hats. Call me whatever you want.
                  24            Q       Has Mr.    Nasserfar worked with Centerra Homes
                 25     doing the same thing he was doing when you were at
           00011:01      Meritage?
        3. PAGE 11:05 T014:11 (RUNNING 00:04:15.037)
                  05                A    Yes.
                  06                Q    Okay.     Describe what Mr. Nasserfar did with
                  07     Centerra Homes.
                  08                A    So we were with —         when I —   when I started
                  09     Centerra, we started looking at lender relationships.
                  10    Michael was still with First Continental, but Michael
                  11    was handling the Guillen [phonetic] book of business.
                  12                   And Wendy Hardle [phonetic] who was
                  13    another loan officer at Meritage Homes was handling

                                                   Oak Mortgage vs Ameripro

                   14   Scott Felder and Roan King, who was the third loan
                   15   officer with the joint venture, the Meritage/First
                   16   Continental joint venture, was still at First
                   17   Continental, but he didn't have, you know, a builder to
                   18   work with on the new —            on new residential construction.
                   19                  So we started to work with Roan King at
                   20   that time.  And as things progressed, you know, and the
                   21   lending environment started to change, CFB — CFPB
                   22   became involved.  Things were changing.  First
                   23   Continental just struggled, and Roan struggled.
                 24                    So when Michael went to AmeriPro, we met
                 25     with Chad Overhauser and Michael on a couple of
           00012:01      occasions, really looked at that deal hard, because, you
                 02      know, we were having issues where we were and didn't
                 03      want to — those to continue, and ultimately made the
                 04      decision to go with AmeriPro and Michael.
                   05             Q       You know Michael before he went to work at
                   06    AmeriPro?
                   07         A           Yes.
                   08             Q       And you knew him as a loan officer?
                   09             A       Yes.
                   10         Q          What did you think of his abilities, in your
                   11   experience with him, while he was at First Continental?
                   12        A    He was the best that I had dealt with, the
                   13   most predictable.
                   14        Q    And so you started to have some problems with
                   15   First Continental when you formed your own company,
                   16   correct?
                   17        A           Correct.
                   18        Q    So did you approach — did you know Chad
                   19   Overhauser before you met with him and Michael
                   20   Nasserfar?
                   21         A          No, no.   I only knew Michael.
                   22         Q          Okay.   And did you go to AmeriPro because of
                   23   Michael?
                   24        A           Yes.
                   25         Q          Did you have a meeting with them?
           00013:01               A       Yes.
                   02             Q       Okay.     And what —     what was the substance of
                   03    your discussions with AmeriPro at that time?
                   04            A        Well, I think, one, we wanted to know —          you
                   05    know,        our business is —     is —    with the lender is —
                   06    really boils down to two components. There's a contract
                   07    to start, period.  We're — we work on a to-be-built
                   08    model.
                   09                             So what that means is, we don't start a
                   10   lot of inventory homes, spec homes.              We sell
                   11   build-to-order.            And so we like to start them as quickly
                   12   as we can, especially the way the market's been the last
                   13   few years where it's been heating up because you have a
                   14   cost-increasing environment.
                   15                  So you try to get that contract-to-start
                   16   cycle really tight. We will not start the home till we
                   17   know the buyer is credit-worthy. So we try hard to get
                   18   a quick turn on the front end and — and — and get a
                   19   look at the customer and get some level of commitment
                  20    from the lender.
                  21                   And then we have the completion-to-close
                  22    cycle, which is, once the home's complete, we want it to
                  23    close as quickly as possible so that it funds. That's
                  24    the only time we get paid. And Michael has always been
                  25    exceptional at managing those two cycles.
           00014:01              Q       Did you know anybody at AmeriPro prior to the
                  02     time that you met with Mr. Overhauser and Michael
                  03     Nasserfar?
                  04             A       No.      I have to be honest.    I wasn't even

                   09    doing at AmeriPro, was that the same kind of business
                   10   that he was doing for you when you were at Meritage?
                   11         A         Yeah.

                   13         A         Yes.
                   14        Q   (By Mr. Bundren)  Was there any difference in
                   15   the — what he did at Meritage versus what he was doing
                   16   at AmeriPro?
                   17         A         Not that I could see.

                   21         A         Yes.
                   22         Q         And was he a loan officer at AmeriPro?
                   23         A         Yes.
                   24         Q         And who was your primary contact at AmeriPro?
                   25         A         Michael.
           00015:01           Q    And did he do the same thing for you at
                 02      AmeriPro that he had done for you when you were working
                 03      with Meritage?
                   04             A      Yes.

                   07             Q      (By Mr. Bundren)       Has —   has Centerra ever
                   08    been a borrower for AmeriPro?
                   09         A    Have we ever borrowed from AmeriPro?
                   10         Q         Yes,    sir.
                   11         A         No.
                   12         Q         Do you —       did you ever borrow money from
                   13   AmeriPro?
                   14        A    No.
                   15         Q         Okay.     When Michael left —    you know Michael
                   16   left AmeriPro?
                   17        A    Yes.
                   18         Q         Okay.     How did you find out that he left
                   19   AmeriPro?
                   20        A    Michael called on a Thursday or a Friday
                   21   night.  I mean, I remember I was driving on 35. I think
                   22   it was in February.  And it was the first that I had
                   23   heard any mention of, you know, the fact that he may
                   24   leave. And he alluded to the fact that he may leave.                I
                 25     don't know how I formed an opinion, but I formed an
           00016:01      opinion that that would probably happen in — over the
                   02    course of several months.
                   03                   Then, the following Monday or Tuesday —
                   04    I can't remember what day it was — I get a call from
                   05    him saying that Friday would be his last day at
                   06    AmeriPro.  That surprised me.
                   07         Q    Did he say anything else other than "Friday
                  08     will be my last day"?
                  09          A    I don't recall the conversation.             I think I
                   10   was, you know, mentally scrambling trying to figure out
                  11    what does this mean and how —            you know, how is this
                  12    going to go?           Because, you know, the loan officer, in my
                  13    opinion, is critical.
                  14                   He — that's the person that manages that
                  15    part of the customer relationship. And that's the
                  16    part —        they're the —      they're the ones that make things
                  17    happen on the loan side to where the cycles become

                   18   predictable.
                   19                  And when they're not on their game,
                   20   things fall through the cracks, and it gets painful for
                   21   us.  As an example, someone that doesn't close on time,
                   22   if they've got a moving truck or furniture being
                 23     delivered or appliances being delivered because they've
                 24     been told a certain date, and then they don't close, we
                 25     can't allow them to put contents into a house until
           00017:01      they — until they close.   It opens up exposure for us.
                 02                     And so, you know, telling people no,
                 03      trying to reschedule, there's always a lot of drama.
                 04      It's already an unsettling time, and so, you know,
                 05      immediately I go to those two cycles that are so
                   06    important to me, contract-to-start and
                   07    completion-to-close.  And if it's not handled well, it
                   08    causes heartburn with the customer, and it reflects on
                   09    us.
                   10           Q          By "customer," you mean your buyer?
                   11           A          My buyer.
                   12           Q          Okay.  Who's a borrower?
                   13           A          Yeah. But, I mean, to me, it's my customer,
                   14   right?           I refer them to the lender.    Okay?    But they're
                   15   mine.           I sold them,   I put them on contract.
                   16           Q          Yeah.
                   17        A    I'm going to build them the house.  I need the
                   18   lender to make those two cycles go and predictably.
                   19   That's what I need.
                   20        Q    While you worked with a Michael Nasserfar at
                   21   AmeriPro, how did the cycles work?
                   22        A    He was really predictable.
                   23           Q          What does that mean?
                 24             A Means things went as they should. They went
                 25     as — ultimately, someone has to set an expectation with
           00018:01      the customer or the consumer, my customer — our
                   02    customer,          I guess,   because it's theirs as well.   And
                   03    then you have to perform based on, you know, what you
                   04    tell people you're going to do. And if you say, "Your
                   05    house is going to close on this day," it needs to close.
                   06    And Michael makes that happen.
                   07                              And I know that there are times when
                   08    there's last-minute issues that pop up. At that point,
                   09    communication's really key with both parties. Let us
                   10   know — actually multiple parties.   Let us know, let the
                   11   title company know, and let the customer know.  All
                   12   those have to know that things are changing, have to
                   13   overcommunicate.            And he does a really good job with
                   14   that.
                   15        Q    When — when Michael told you that he was
                   16   leaving AmeriPro, did he tell you where he was going to
                   17   go?
                   18           A         No.
                   19           Q         Did he solicit any business from you in that
                  20    call?
                  21            A         No.

                  23            Q          (By Mr. Bundren)   And when he left, were there
                 24     borrowers of AmeriPro that were still there that were in
                 25     process of closing?
           00019:01           A    Yes.  And I believe there still are.

                                                    Oak Mortgage vs Ameripro

                   10   of complaint.             There have been loans that haven't
                   n    closed.  There have been people who showed up at the
                   12   title company and — and no one knew they were coming.
                   13   They didn't close.
                   14                  The level of complaint on customer
                   15   surveys has gone up. It's typical of any time there's
                   16   turnover in a — in a mortgage relationship.   I mean, if
                   17   the loan officer leaves, or even if a processer leaves,
                   18   you generally feel it. And so the level of complaint
                   19   is — you know, has gone up significantly from when
                   20   Michael was there.
                   21         Q            Do you know where Michael is today?
                   22        A    Oak Mortgage.
                   23        Q    And how did you find out that he's at Oak
                   24   Mortgage?
                   25         A           He   contacted us once he was   over there.   I
           00020:01      don't        —    I don't recall the dates or all of that.         I
                   02    just remember —             you know, we met with —    I didn't.       My
                   03    partner met with Oak.  I was out of town.
                   04                   When I came back in town, I met with Chad
                   05    Overhauser and Eric Weiss.             And there was one other guy
                   06    there.           I can't remember his name.      I have his business
                   07    card at the house.  I met with those guys, and, you
                   08    know, we — we told both parties the same thing.   "We're
                   09    going to have a competitive environment here.  We have
                   10   to compete every day. We're going to refer every
                   11   contract to both parties."
                   12        Q    What do you mean by "both parties"?
                   13         A           Well,    to Oak and to AmeriPro.   "And we'll let
                   14   you guys, you know, compete. And it will be good for
                   15   the customers, should be good for everybody."
                   16                   I mean, I have to compete every day. I
                   17   told them both I don't feel any — you know, any reason
                   18   not to have a competitive environment between both
                   19   parties.  And that's what we did.
                   20        Q    And what happened?
                   21        A    Just over time, you know, I mean, like I said,
                  22    we've had loans not — I mean, it is highly unusual that
                  23    someone shows up at a title company and nobody knows
                   24   they're coming.   I mean, I — I can count on one hand in
                  25    20-plus years of being in this business that that's
           00021:01      happened. So that happened. That was a red flag.
                 02      There's been, you know, like I —
                   03          Q   Who was the lender when that happened?
                   04             A        AmeriPro.
                   05                   There's been a high level of complaint.
                  06     You know, the customer surveys where people are saying
                  07     specific things, making comments specifically, and
                  08     rating AmeriPro very low.
                  09                    So we do a 1 to 5 scale, and then we
                  10    allow comments at the bottom.  Been several times where
                  11    they've scored the lowest possible number on the survey,
                  12    which was unusual.
                  13                              And then, you know, made specific
                  14    comments about the lender's performance, specifically
                  15    about the turnover and the different people that they
                  16    would speak to each time.             That was a —   you know, kind
                  17    of a prevalent thing. "Every time I talk to somebody,
                  18    it's a different person and I get a different answer or
                  19    a different day or different information."
                  20                              And so that was the feedback that we were
                  21    receiving from our customers.
                  22         Q    And what you just described, was that feedback
                  23    about Oak Mortgage or AmeriPro?
                  24         A    AmeriPro. I haven't had any of that feedback
                  25    yet on Michael's deals. I don't know how many of them

                 25     first started talking with AmeriPro.  I'm backing up on
           00023:01      you a little bit.
                 02                     To be clear, did you even know who they
                 03      were except for Michael Nasserfar?
                   04               A       No.

         10. PAGE 23:06 TO 23:10 (RUNNING 00:00:08.909)

                   06         A    No.  I didn't know anything about them.
                   07         Q    (By Mr. Bundren)  Okay.  If Michael Nasserfar
                   08    had not been there, would you have went to AmeriPro and
                   09    had a          discussion with him?
                   10           A          No.

         11. PAGE 23:12 TO 24:07 (RUNNING 00:01:09.627)

                   12        Q    (By Mr. Bundren)  So what was the incentive or
                   13   who was the incentive for you to go to AmeriPro to begin
                   14   with?
                   15         A   Michael.   There was a relationship there.
                   16   There was a history.   My whole team — the whole home
                   17   building team that I have has been assembled trying to
                   18   get the very best people that I've worked with in the
                   19   past.
                 20                    And I've tried really hard. And you can
                 21     ask people around town; you can talk to the people that
                 22     work at our company. We've all, for the most part,
                 23     worked together in a prior life.   And so I've kind of
                 24     cherry-picked the very best people intentionally.
                 25                    And that was what we were trying to do
           00024:01      with the relationship with Michael, was just get
                 02      somebody who was predictable and would handle their part
                   03    of the business.
                   04               Q       Today, do you —    does your company today,
                   05    Mr. Grant, provide any products or services to AmeriPro?
                   06         A    No.            I mean, we're working through the backlog
                   07    that we have.            We don't provide any services there.
