(d) Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility except for the deposit and disbursement of the funds and documents deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, all as provided herein, and shall not be liable for any error in judgment or any action or inaction taken by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement except for Escrow Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) All funds deposited with Escrow Agent shall be held by Escrow Agent until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in an interest bearing account with a financial institution approved by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall deliver a W-9 form to Escrow Agent no later than one (1) business day following Escrow Agent’s request therefor.

(f) Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and in supplemental written closing, recording, and Title Insurance instructions as may be issued by Purchaser and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Escrow Agent. If there are any inconsistencies between such additional or supplemental instructions and this Agreement, then this Agreement shall govern and control.

(g) Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be valid, and any statement or assertion contained in such writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instrument in connection with the provisions of this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so. Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any manner for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner and execution, or validity of any instrument, nor as to the identity, authority, or right of any person executing the same.

(h) Unless Escrow Agent discharges any of its duties under this Agreement in a negligent manner or is guilty of willful misconduct with regard to its duties under this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and in such connection Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting any claim in such capacity.

 

3


(i) If the parties to this Agreement shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their respective rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an action in interpleader to resolve the disagreement. Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in its capacity as Escrow Agent in connection with any such interpleader action and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment in the interpleader action is received.

5. TITLE COMMITMENT.

(a) Purchaser has obtained a title commitment covering the Property (the “Title Commitment”) from the title insurance company identified in Line 7 of the Summary Statement written on behalf of First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company).

(b) Purchaser and Seller agree that the following are permitted exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”): the matters set forth on the Schedule of Permitted Exceptions attached hereto as Schedule 5 and by this reference made part hereof.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, all title exceptions that are not Permitted Exceptions are “Unpermitted Exceptions.” Purchaser hereby objects to all Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller shall have the right but not the obligation to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to fifteen (15) days (the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the “Title Clearance Date”) in order to have all title exceptions other than Permitted Exceptions (collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”) cured and removed from title to the Real Property, subject to Seller’s mandatory cure obligations set forth below. If Seller fails on or before the Title Clearance Date to demonstrate to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction that the Unpermitted Exceptions have been cured and removed from title to the Real Property (or will be cured and removed from title concurrently with the Closing), Purchaser shall have the option in its sole and absolute discretion to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations that are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement), or (ii) proceed with Closing, in which case, the Purchase Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all tax, judgment, mechanics’ and other liens of a definite and ascertainable amount which were caused or permitted by Seller, and which may be cured by payment of a liquidated amount (other than any existing mortgage loan(s) and mezzanine loan(s) (collectively, the “Existing Loans”). Seller shall be obligated in all events to pay in full at or before Closing the outstanding principal and interest of all of Existing Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is obligated to pay at or before Closing and remove of record, all Existing Loans, all mechanics’ liens that are not created by or through the affirmative acts or omissions of Purchaser, all due and payable tax liens, and all such other liens and encumbrances as may be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated amount. Seller shall use, and Seller hereby authorizes and instructs Escrow Agent to disburse, the cash portion of the Purchase Price to effectuate the termination, re-conveyance and release of all liens and other encumbrances required to be paid and released by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.

(e) Purchaser may request, at Purchaser’s expense, an ALTA as built survey (“Survey”) of the Property. On or before earlier of: (i) that date that is twenty (20) days after the receipt by Purchaser of the Survey (the “Survey Objection Date”) or the date that is twenty (20) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser will notify Seller in writing (the “Survey Exception Notice”) as to those matters reflected in the Survey which it will not accept. If Purchaser fails to provide Seller the Survey Objection Notice on or before the Survey Objection Date, the matters reflected in the Survey shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to such exceptions. If Purchaser delivers a Survey Exception Notice, Seller shall have until three (3) days after its receipt of the Survey Exception Notice (“Seller’s Response Date”), within which to notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to attempt to remove or otherwise cure prior to the Closing the disapproved matters reflected on the Survey (“Disapproved Survey Exceptions”). If for any reason, by the Seller’s Response Date, Seller does not provide Purchaser with such notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure such Disapproved Survey Exceptions. Upon written notice to Purchaser, Seller’s shall have the right but not the obligation to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to fifteen (15) days (the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the “Survey Clearance Date”) in order to cure all Unpermitted Survey Exceptions, or if requested by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, to have the Title Company commit to insure Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender (if any), at Seller’s expense, against any and all loss or damage that may be occasioned by any such Unpermitted Survey Exceptions. If Seller fails on or before the Survey Clearance Date to demonstrate to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction that the Unpermitted Survey Exceptions have been cured, Purchaser shall have the option in its sole and absolute discretion to either accept the Survey without curing the Unpermitted Survey Exceptions or to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which case the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligation that are expressly intended to survive termination of this Agreement).

 

4


(f) Seller shall execute and deliver the title affidavit pursuant to Section 9(a)(iv), remove Unpermitted Exceptions and Unpermitted Survey Exceptions pursuant to this Section 5 above, and cooperate with Purchaser to obtain the Title Policy in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate (“Seller’s Closing Certificate”) at Closing stating that the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, including, without limitation in Exhibit F hereto, remain true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

(iii) Consents.

5

In the event that any of such conditions are not satisfied by Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to waive any of such conditions (in whole or part) or have the right to terminate this Agreement. In the event of the exercise by Purchaser of any such right of termination, Purchaser and Seller shall be released from all further liability or obligation hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

(a) Seller’s Representations. Seller hereby represents and warrants unto Purchaser that each and every one of the statements set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto and by this reference made part hereof is true, correct and complete in every material respect as of the date of this Agreement and will be true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date and shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months. References to the “knowledge” of Seller in this Agreement shall refer only to the actual knowledge of Gary Wescombe and shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of Seller or any affiliate of Seller, or to any other officers, agents, managers, representatives or employees of Seller or any affiliates thereof, or to impose upon Gary Wescombe any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains. Gary Wescombe shall have no personal liability with respect to any matters set forth in this Agreement or any of Seller’s representations and/or warranties herein being or becoming untrue, inaccurate or incomplete.

This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, each enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of equitable principles.

 

6


(iii) Consents and Approvals. Assuming the accuracy of the representation and warranties made by Seller hereunder and in the documents and instruments executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or Governmental Entity is required to be obtained by Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except any of the foregoing that shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date and except for those consents, waivers and approvals or authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on Purchaser.

(iv) Corporate Matters. The Purchaser Shares when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration described herein, will be duly and validly issued, and free of any liens other than any liens arising through Seller. Upon such issuance, Seller will be admitted as a shareholder of Purchaser.

Except as set forth herein, Purchaser makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.

(c) All of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Closing Documents (defined in Section 9 below) are material, none shall merge into the Special Warranty Deed herein provided for and all shall survive the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”). All rights of parties hereunder or under any of the Closing Documents, with respect to any surviving representation or warranty of the other party (“Surviving Obligations”) shall be deemed waived if such party does not, by written notice to the other party, advise such other party of any alleged breach of such representation or warranty which such party has actual conscious knowledge of prior to the expiration of the Survival Period (which in the case of Purchaser after the date hereof, shall mean the receipt of actual written notice of such breach from Seller). Subject to the limitation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, all remedies shall be those set forth in Section 15 below. The provisions of this Section 7(c) shall survive the Closing.

8. COVENANTS.

At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any inspections, tests or studies. Purchaser shall bear the cost of all such inspections, tests and studies. In conducting any inspections, tests or studies, Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives shall (i) comply with all terms of the Leases regarding entry rights and obligations of Seller to tenants, (ii) not unreasonably disturb the tenants or unreasonably interfere with their use of the Real Property pursuant to their respective Leases, (iii) not unreasonably interfere with the operation, use and maintenance of the Real Property, (iv) not damage any part of the Real Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party, (v) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any of its agents, contractors and employees or any tenant or other third party, (vi) promptly pay when due the cost of all inspections, tests or studies, (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of the rights under this Section, (viii) repair damage to the real Property to the extent that the damage was caused by Purchaser’s inspection activities, and (ix) not conduct any invasive testing without the prior consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(d), Seller recognizes that Purchaser’s affiliate operates as the Property Manager on the Property, thus nothing herein shall limit the reasonable access of the Property Manager.

If Purchaser determines in good faith that the disclosed item(s) contained in any such notice represents an impairment in the value of the Property or an increase in cost or potential risk to Purchaser, then Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement. In the event of the exercise by Purchaser of any such right of termination, Purchaser and Seller shall be released from all further liability or obligation hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

10. RISK OF LOSS.

The risk of loss relating to the Property prior to Closing shall be borne by Seller. If, prior to the Closing, the Property is partially or totally destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or is taken by eminent domain or through condemnation proceedings, then Purchaser may, at its option, determine not to acquire the Property. After the occurrence of any such casualty or condemnation affecting the Property, Purchaser may also, at its option within ten (1) days after Purchaser is notified of any such casualty or condemnation, elect to (a) acquire the Property and (b) direct Seller to pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser upon or following the Closing any sums collected by Seller, if any, under any policies of insurance, if any, or award proceeds relating to such casualty or condemnation (to the extent that Seller has not applied such sums or proceeds to the restoration of the Property or otherwise to address the impacts of such casualty or condemnation) and otherwise assign to Purchaser at the Closing all rights of Seller to seek and collect such sums as may then be uncollected, and/or to the extent available to Seller, adjust or settle any insurance claim or condemnation proceeding, which Seller has not adjusted or settled prior to the Closing. Under such circumstances, the Purchase Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of (i) any deductibles under the applicable insurance policies or award with respect to the Property and (ii) any uninsured casualty or loss with respect to the Property. Insurance on the Property shall be cancelled as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, and thereafter Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all risk of loss relating to the Property.

THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING, AND NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY DOCUMENTS DELIVERED AT THE CLOSING. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY FURNISHED BY ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON, UNLESS THE SAME ARE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH OR REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT.

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

12. ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.

(a) Prorations. All income and expenses of the Property shall be apportioned as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, with Purchaser being deemed to be the owner of its Undivided Interest in the Property during the entire day on which the Closing Date occurs and being entitled to receive its share of all revenue of the Property, and being obligated to pay its share of all expenses of the Property, with respect to such day. All prorations and apportionments hereunder shall be based upon Seller’s Undivided Interest in the Property.

(i) Such prorated items shall include the following:

(A) all rents and any other income with respect to the Property received by the Closing Date, if any, and for the month in which the Closing occurs. Such proration of rents shall be based on a rent roll updated by Seller not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date;

(B) taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes) levied against the Property;

(C) subject to rights under Leases regarding payments or prorations of utility payments by tenants (which will be governed by the rent proration provision described in Section 12(a)(i)(A) above), utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at the Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to the Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility;

(D) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a transferor and transferee of real estate in the county in which the Property is located.

 

13


(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12, the following shall apply:

(A) Except as provided in the following sentence, all delinquent real estate taxes and assessments shall be paid by Seller at or before the Closing, together with any interest, penalties or other fees related to any delinquent taxes. In determining prorations relating to non-delinquent taxes, Purchaser shall be credited with an amount equal to the real estate taxes and assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, to the extent such amount has not been actually paid by Seller. In the event that Seller has paid prior to the Closing any real estate taxes or assessments related to the Property applicable to the period after the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to a credit for such amount. In connection with the re-proration of real estate taxes and assessments for which a credit was given or a proration was made at the Closing, the parties shall adjust the differences between them promptly upon demand being made therefor by either Seller or Purchaser. If, after the Closing, any additional real estate taxes or assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date are levied for any reason, including back assessments or escape assessments, then Seller shall pay all such additional amounts. If, after the Closing, Seller or Purchaser receive any property tax refunds regarding any Property relating to a period prior to the Closing, then that portion of the refunds related to a period prior to the Closing that is required to be refunded to any tenant of the Property shall be delivered to or retained by, as the case may be, Purchaser for the purpose of making such refund payments with the remaining portion of such refunds retained by or delivered to, as the case may be, Seller. Purchaser shall pay all supplemental taxes resulting from the change in ownership and reassessment occurring as the result of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement;

(B) Charges referred to in Section 12.2(a)(i)(C) which are payable by any tenant directly to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of such charges. As to utilities and other operating expenses for which Seller is responsible, Seller may upon notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of all of said items accrued to the date fixed for apportionment pursuant to this Agreement directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item directly in such case shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement;

(C) Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities to the name of Purchaser as of Closing, where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies, and provide Seller with written evidence of the transfer at or prior to Closing. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date;

(D) Unpaid rent from a tenant delinquent at Closing collected by Purchaser or Seller after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any such unpaid delinquent rent, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of the Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any such unpaid delinquent rent, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent to which Seller are entitled hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. The parties agree that (i) all rent received by Seller or Purchaser within the first thirty (30) day period after the date of Closing from a tenant delinquent at Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rent, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to current rent, and (ii) all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the first thirty (30) day period after the date of Closing from a tenant delinquent at Closing shall be applied first to current rent and then to delinquent rent, if any, in the inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will endeavor after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents, except in Purchaser’s sole discretion;

(E) After Closing, Seller shall be responsible for preparing a reconciliation of common area maintenance (the “CAM”) payments made by tenants under the Leases for calendar year 2011 and prior to Closing, in accordance with the Leases. To the extent CAM payments made by tenants on or after [            ] and prior to Closing (the “Pre-Closing Payments”) exceed common area expenses for the Property paid by Seller during such period, as reasonably determined by Purchaser after the Closing, Seller will pay such excess amounts to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after such determination is made and written notice thereof is provided by Purchaser to Seller. To the extent the Pre-Closing Payments are less than the common area expenses for the Property paid by Seller during such period, as reasonably determined by Purchaser after the Closing, Purchaser will pay such amounts to Seller within fifteen (15) days after such determination is made and written notice thereof is provided by Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser shall make such determination as soon as possible after the Closing and in all events on or before the date required under the Leases;

 

14


(F) The net proration credit to or charge against Seller on account of the prorations adjustments to be made upon the Closing shall be reflected through an adjustment to cash portion of the Purchase Consideration. Any other proration adjustments made following the Closing shall be made in cash; and

(G) If any prorations hereunder cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then they shall be calculated as is soon after the Closing Date as feasible. Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) shall promptly pay said sum to the other party, with interest per annum at the prime rate of interest as set forth in The Wall Street Journal, plus 2% from the Closing Date to the date of payment if payment is not made within ten (10) business days after delivery of a bill therefor. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been finally and completely ascertained, Purchaser shall prepare a final proration statement which shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final absent manifest error.

13. CLOSING COSTS.

Seller shall pay (a) the costs of recording any termination, reconveyances and releases required to clear title to the Property pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) Seller’s attorneys’ fees. Purchaser shall pay (a) all realty transfer taxes imposed on the Special Warranty Deed, (b) all of the Escrow Agent charges and fees, (c) the costs of recording the Special Warranty Deed, (d) the costs of the Title Commitment (as updated) and the Title Policy, including any endorsements thereto and (e) Purchaser’s attorneys fees. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay their respective attorneys’ fees. If escrow fails to Close due to Purchaser’s default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for all escrow cancellation and title charges. If escrow fails to Close due to Seller’s default under this Agreement, Seller shall pay any escrow cancellation and title charges.

14. POSSESSION.

Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing, free and clear of all liens and claims other than Permitted Exceptions and the rights of the tenants, as tenants only with no purchase rights of any kind or nature except as may be set forth in the Leases, identified on the Lease List, in the same condition as it exists on the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted and except as provided in Sections 10 hereof. Purchaser shall have the right to inspect the Property from time to time upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times prior to Closing to verify that the condition of the Property is as required under this Agreement.

15. DISPUTES.

(a) Equitable Remedies. The parties hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur to the other party in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any federal or state court located in Texas (as to which the parties agree to submit to jurisdiction for the purpose of such action), this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled under this Agreement.

(b) Dispute Resolution. The parties hereby agree that, in order to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of any disputes under this Agreement, each claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature, arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated by or related to this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties), including without limitation any claim based on contract, tort or statute, or the arbitrability of any claim hereunder (an “Arbitrable Claim”), shall, subject to Section 15(a) above, be settled by final and binding arbitration conducted in Orange County, California. The arbitrability of any Arbitrable Claims under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with a two-step dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) involving, first, mediation before a retired judge from the JAMS panel, followed, if necessary, by final and binding arbitration before the same, or if requested by either party, another JAMS panelist. Such dispute resolution process shall be confidential and shall be conducted in accordance with applicable California law.

 

15


(c) Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not resolved by an informal negotiation between the parties within fifteen (15) days after either party receives written notice that an Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter shall be referred to the Orange County office of JAMS, or any other office agreed to by the parties, for an informal, non-binding mediation consisting of one or more conferences between the parties in which a retired judge will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims. The parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of mediators. In the event the parties cannot agree on a mediator, the Administrator of JAMS will appoint a mediator. The mediation process shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the Arbitrable Claims are resolved, (ii) the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of resolution through mediation, or (iii) thirty (30) days have elapsed since the Arbitrable Claim was first scheduled for mediation.

(d) Arbitration. Should any Arbitrable Claims remain after the completion of the mediation process described above, the parties agree to submit all remaining Arbitrable Claims to final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the then existing JAMS Arbitration Rules. Neither party nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except as provided herein, the laws of the State of Texas shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings pursuant to this subparagraph. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any substantive law other than the laws selected or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support thereof. Such award may include reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party.
