The foregoing release does not apply, however, to claims for future performance of express contractual obligations that mature after the date hereof that are owing to Borrower by Lender or Lenders affiliates. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has been induced to enter into or continue the obligations by, among other things, the waivers and releases in this paragraph.
27
9.16 | Revival Clause |
If the incurring of any debt by Borrower or the payment of any money or transfer of property to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower should for any reason subsequently be determined to be voidable or avoidable in whole or in part within the meaning of any state or federal law (collectively voidable transfers), including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law, and Lender is required to repay or restore any voidable transfers or the amount or any portion thereof, or upon the advice of Lenders counsel is advised to do so, then, as to any such amount or property repaid or restored, including all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrower shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though the voidable transfers had never been made.
9.17 | Jury Trial Waiver, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver |
This Section contains a jury waiver, arbitration clause, and a class action waiver. READ IT CAREFULLY.
a. Jury Trial Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, Borrower and Lender each waive their respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any Dispute (as Dispute is hereinafter defined), and Disputes shall be resolved by a judge sitting without a jury. If a court determines that this provision is not enforceable for any reason and at any time prior to trial of the Dispute, but not later than 30 days after entry of the order determining this provision is unenforceable, any party shall be entitled to move the court for an order compelling arbitration and staying or dismissing such litigation pending arbitration (Arbitration Order).
b. Arbitration. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between Borrower and Lender with respect to this Agreement, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between Borrower and Lender whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a Dispute), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of the parties may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, Borrower gives up any right it may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights it would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.
Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or National Arbitration Forum (Administrator) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations the parties have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party,
28
including but not limited to the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision, and including a dispute based on or arising from an alleged tort or matters involving either of Borrowers or Lenders employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. However, Disputes do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, Borrower and Lender each will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if there is no agreement, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration. The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator will (i) hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment, (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law, (iii) give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense, (iv) enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable, (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, apply rules of evidence governing civil cases, and (vi) apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.
Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorneys fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.
Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. The provisions of this arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrators rules, this arbitration provision shall control.
29
c. Class Action Waiver. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE AS A CLASS ACTION, EITHER AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
d. Reliance. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this section.
9.18 | Consent to Utah Jurisdiction and Exclusive Jurisdiction of Utah Courts |
Borrower acknowledges that by execution and delivery of the Loan Documents Borrower has transacted business in the State of Utah and Borrower voluntarily submits to, consents to, and waives any defense to the jurisdiction of courts located in the State of Utah as to all matters relating to or arising from the Loan Documents and/or the transactions contemplated thereby. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING BY LENDER AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS ABOVE, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF UTAH SHALL HAVE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, AND CONTROVERSIES, ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. NO LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, OR ANY OTHER ACTION RELATING TO OR ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY MAY BE COMMENCED OR PROSECUTED IN ANY OTHER FORUM EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING BY LENDER.
