Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Purchaser utilized $2,250,000 of its working capital to purchase the 9,443,905 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser.  This working capital was provided in part by a $1,250,000 loan from Sterling Bank to the Purchaser on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter/Loan Agreement dated June 11, 2002 (the “Loan Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and by capital contributions from Brown and Mann.  Under the Loan Agreement, principal and interest are payable quarterly at the prime rate plus 1.50% to be adjusted annually and are payable in full on or before June 11, 2006.  The Loan Agreement requires the Purchaser to maintain a majority ownership interest in the Company.  Brown obtained the funds contributed to the Purchaser from personal funds.  Mann borrowed the funds contributed to the Purchaser pursuant to the Real Estate Lien Note dated May 31, 2002 (the “Mann Note”), executed by Mann and his spouse, and payable to the order of Sterling Bank.  A copy of the Mann Note is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

As a condition to the making of the loan under the Loan Agreement, the Purchaser granted Sterling Bank a security interest in the 9,443,905 shares of Common Stock (the “Pledged Stock”) and all proceeds therefrom pursuant to the Security Agreement dated June 11, 2002 (the “Security Agreement’) between the Purchaser and Sterling Bank.  During the existence of any event of default, Sterling Bank may, among other remedies, sell the Pledged Stock.  Also, the Security Agreement requires the Purchaser to maintain a majority ownership interest in the Company.  A copy of the Security Agreement is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, each of Brown and Mann executed a personal guaranty pursuant to which they jointly and severally guarantee the full and prompt payment of all sums owed by the Purchaser to Sterling Bank under that certain Promissory Note dated June 11, 2002 (the “Promissory Note”), executed by the Purchaser, and payable to the order of Sterling Bank in the original principal sum of $1,250,000.

(b)           Status of Plans.  The Company does not take part in and is not a party to, and has never taken part in or was a party to, (i) maintaining or contributing to any Employee Benefit Plan subject to ERISA which is not in material compliance with ERISA and the Code, (ii) maintaining or contributing to, at any time, a defined benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA, (iii) maintaining or contributing to, at any time, a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, or (iv) maintaining or contributing to any employee benefit plans other than those listed on Schedule 3.15.  The assets of the Company’s Employee Benefit Plans are adequate to pay all debts, liabilities and claims with respect to such plans to the extent that claims have been made or have accrued on or prior to the Closing Date.  No Employee Benefit Plan provides for continuing benefits or coverage for any participant, beneficiary or former employee after such participant’s or former employee’s termination of employment, except as may be required by Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601-608 of ERISA.  All reports and disclosures required by ERISA, the Code and any other applicable laws with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan have been timely filed and provided.

 

(c)           Tax Qualification and Employee Benefits.  Each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined to be so qualified by the IRS and nothing has occurred since the date of the last such determination which resulted or may result in the revocation of such determination.  Full payment has been made of all amounts which the Company is required, under applicable law or under any Employee Benefit Plan or any agreement relating to any Employee Benefit Plan to which the

 

15



 

Company is a party, to have paid as contributions thereto as of the Closing Date.  The Company has made adequate provision for reserves to meet contributions that have not been made because they are not yet due under the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan or related agreements.  Benefits under all Employee Benefit Plans are as represented and have not been increased subsequent to the date as of which documents have been provided.

 

(d)           Transactions.  The Company has not engaged in any transaction with respect to the Employee Benefit Plans which would subject the Company to a tax, penalty or liability for prohibited transactions under ERISA or the Code, and none of its directors, officers or employees, to the extent they or any of them are fiduciaries with respect to such plans, breached any of their responsibilities or obligations imposed upon fiduciaries under Title I of ERISA or has taken or failed to take any action that would result in any claim being made under, by or on behalf of any such plans by any party with standing to make such claim.  There are no pending audits, examinations or investigations by any Governmental Body relating to any Employee Benefit Plan, and to the Company’s Knowledge, no threatened or pending claims (other than routine claims for benefits), suits or proceedings involving any Employee Benefit Plan or any fiduciary thereof or service provider thereto.  The Company has the right to modify, amend, or terminate each Employee Benefit Plan at any time.  The termination of any Employee Benefit Plan would not accelerate or increase any benefits payable under such plan.  In the event of termination of any Employee Benefit Plan, the Company would have any liability with respect to such plan, other than the payment of benefits pursuant to such plan.

 

(e)           Documents.  The Company has delivered or caused to be delivered to Purchaser true and complete copies of (i) all Employee Benefit Plans as in effect for the Company, together with all amendments thereto, the summary plan description for each Employee Benefit Plan, and the latest IRS determination letter obtained with respect to any such Employee Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401 or 501 of the Code, (ii) Form 5500 for the most recently completed fiscal year for each Employee Benefit Plan required to file such form, and (iii) the summary annual report provided to participants with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan for the three most recent plan years.

23



 

event relating to a Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made in this Agreement.

 

9.02        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

(a)           From and after the Effective Time, the Company shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and/or officer of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties”), that is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed, action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she was a director or officer of the Company prior to the Closing Date and arising out of actions or omissions of the Indemnified Party in any such capacity occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (a “Claim”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement pursuant to Section 9.02(b), losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) reasonably incurred in connection with any Claim, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws, as amended, in effect as of the Closing Date.  The Company shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Company to, advance expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), as reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law provided such Indemnified Party provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

 

(b)           Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.02 upon learning of any such Claim, shall promptly notify Purchaser and the Company thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Purchaser and the Company of any liability they may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not materially prejudice Purchaser and the Company.  In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Purchaser and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Purchaser and the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Purchaser and the Company elect not to assume such defense or counsel or the Indemnified Parties advise and Purchaser’s and the Company’s counsel concurs that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Purchaser and the Company, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other, in either such case the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Purchaser and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Purchaser and the Company shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for only one firm or counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Purchaser and the Company shall not be liable for any amounts paid in settlement effected without their prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further,

 

24



 

however, that Purchaser and the Company shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in a manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law.  If such indemnity is not available with respect to any Indemnified Party, then Purchaser and the Company and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to the amount payable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect relative faults and benefits.

 

(c)           If a Claim under this Section 9.02 is not paid in full by Purchaser and the Company within thirty days after a written request therefor has been received by Purchaser and the Company, the Indemnified Party may at any time thereafter bring suit against Purchaser and the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the Claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such Claims.

 

(d)           Neither the failure of Purchaser and the Company (including their respective Boards of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnified Party is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by Purchaser and the Company (including their respective Boards of Directors, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that the Indemnified Party has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the Indemnified Party has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(a)           Any and every dispute of any nature whatsoever that may arise between the parties hereto, whether sounding in contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, discrimination or any other legal theory, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or involving the construction, performance or breach of this Agreement, or any schedule, certificate or other document delivered by any party hereto or thereto, or any other agreement between the parties hereto, whether entered into prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, or those arising under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.  If the amount in controversy in the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), exclusive of interest, attorneys fees and costs, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators.  Otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.  The parties hereto shall endeavor to select neutral arbitrators by mutual agreement.  If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) calendar days after a dispute has arisen which is to be decided by arbitration, any party or the parties jointly shall request the American Arbitration Association to submit to each party an identical panel of fifteen (15) persons.  Alternate strikes shall be made to the panel, commencing with the party bringing the claim, until the names of three (3) persons remain, or one (1) person if the case is to be heard by a single arbitrator.  The parties may, however, by mutual agreement, request the American Arbitration Association to submit additional panels of possible arbitrators.  The person(s) thus remaining shall be the arbitrator(s) for such arbitration.  If three (3) arbitrators are selected, the arbitrators shall elect a chairperson to preside at all meetings and hearings.  The arbitrator(s), or a majority of them, shall have the power to determine all matters incident to the conduct of the arbitration, including without limitation all procedural and evidentiary matters and the scheduling of any hearing.  The award made by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and the subject matter.  The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any statutory multiple damages, and shall only have the authority to award compensatory damages, arbitration costs, attorneys’

 

28



 

fees, declaratory relief and permanent injunctive relief, if applicable.  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall be held in San Antonio, Texas.  This Section 10.13 shall not prevent either party from seeking a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its rights under this Agreement.  In the event a party seeks such injunctive relief pursuant to this Agreement, such action shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 10.13, which shall continue to govern any and every dispute between the parties, including without limitation the right to damages, permanent injunctive relief and any other remedy, at law or in equity.

 

(b)           EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN THEM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISPUTES RELATING TO OR INVOLVING IN ANY WAY THE CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PROVISIONS OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW, REGULATION OR ORDINANCE NOTWITHSTANDING.  By execution of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel and that he/she/it knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to a trial by jury of any dispute pertaining to or relating in any way to the Subject Transactions, the provisions of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance notwithstanding.

2.             Insurance.  If Debtor fails to maintain insurance as required by this agreement or otherwise by Secured Party, then Secured Party may purchase single-interest insurance coverage that will protect only Secured Party.

43



 

 

 

Events of Default

 

Each of the following conditions is an event of default:

 

1.             if Debtor defaults in timely payment or performance of any obligation, covenant, or liability in any written agreement between Debtor and Secured Party or in any other transaction secured by this agreement;

 

2.             if any warranty, covenant, or representation made to Secured Party by or on behalf of Debtor proves to have been false in any material respect when made;

 

3.             if a receiver is appointed for Debtor or any of the collateral;

 

4.             if the collateral is assigned for the benefit of creditors  to the extent permitted by law of bankruptcy or, insolvency proceedings commence against or by any of these parties:  Debtor; any partnership of which Debtor is a general partner; and any maker, drawer, acceptor, endorser, guarantor, surety, accommodation party, or other person liable on or for any part of the obligation;

Remedies of Secured Party on Default

 

During the existence of any event of default, Secured Party may declare the unpaid principal and earned interest of the obligation immediately due in whole or part, enforce the obligation, and exercise any rights and remedies granted by Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code or by this agreement, including the following:

 

1.             require Debtor to deliver to Secured Party all books and records relating to the collateral;

 

2.             require Debtor to assemble the collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place reasonably convenient to both parties;

4.             sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any of the collateral in accord with the rights, remedies, and duties of a secured party under Chapters 2 and 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code after giving notice as required by those chapters; unless the collateral threatens to decline speedily in value, is perishable, or would typically be sold on a recognized market.

 

44



 

Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of any public sale of the collateral or of a time after which it may be otherwise disposed of without further notice to Debtor; in this event, notice will be deemed reasonable if it is mailed, postage prepaid, to Debtor at the address specified in this agreement at least ten days before any public sale or ten days before the time when the collateral may be otherwise disposed of without further notice to Debtor;

 

5.             surrender any insurance policies covering the collateral and receive the unearned premium;

7.             if disposition of the collateral leaves the obligation unsatisfied, collect the deficiency from Debtor.

 

General Provisions

 

1.             Parties Bound. Secured Party’s rights under this agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. Assignment of any part of the obligation and delivery by Secured Party of any part of the collateral will fully discharge Secured Party from responsibility for that part of the collateral.  If Debtor is more than one, all their representations, warranties, and agreements are joint and several.  Debtor’s obligations under this agreement shall bind Debtor’s personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

2.             Waiver. Neither delay in exercise nor partial exercise of any of Secured Party’s remedies or rights shall waive further exercise of those remedies or rights.  Secured Party’s failure to exercise remedies or rights does not waive subsequent exercise of those remedies or rights.  Secured Party’s waiver of any default does not waive further default.  Secured Party’s waiver of any right in this agreement or of any default is binding only if it is in writing.  Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving it.

 

3.             Reimbursement. If Debtor fails to perform any of Debtor’s obligations, Secured Party may perform those obligations and be reimbursed by Debtor at the place where the note is payable for any sums so paid, including attorney’s fees and other legal expenses, plus interest on those sums from the dates of payment at the rate stated in the note for matured, unpaid amounts.  The sum to be reimbursed shall be secured by this security agreement.

 

4.             Interest Rate. Interest included in the obligation shall not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited to the principal of the obligation or, if that has been paid, refunded.  On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment of the obligation, any such excess shall be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal amount of the obligation or, if the principal amount has been paid, refunded.  This provision overrides other provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the obligation.

 

45



 

 

5.             Modifications. No provisions of this agreement shall be modified or limited except by written agreement.

 

6.             Severability. The unenforceability of any provision of this agreement will not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision.

 

7.             Applicable Law. This agreement will be construed according to the laws of the State of Texas.

 

8.             Place of Performance. This agreement is to be performed in the county of Secured Party’s mailing address.

 

9.             Financing Statement. A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this agreement or any financing statement covering the collateral is sufficient as a financing statement.

 

10.           Presumption of Truth and Validity.  If the collateral is sold after default, recitals in the bill of sale or transfer will be prima facie evidence of their truth, and all prerequisites to the sale specified by this agreement and by Chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code will be presumed satisfied.

 

11.           Singular and Plural. When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.

 

12.           Priority of Security Interest. This security interest shall neither affect nor be affected by any other security for any of the obligation.  Neither extensions of any of the obligation nor releases of any of the collateral will affect the priority or validity of this security interest with reference to any third person.

 

13.           Cumulative Remedies. Foreclosure of this security interest by suit does not limit Secured Party’s remedies, including the right to sell the collateral under the terms of this agreement.  All remedies of Secured Party may be exercised at the same or different times, and no remedy shall be a defense to any other.  Secured Party’s rights and remedies include all those granted by law or otherwise, in addition to those specified in this agreement.

 

14.           Default.  Lender further agrees that in the event of default by Debtor under any of the provisions of this Agreement, Lender will openly discuss options with Debtor in an attempt to remedy default.

 

15.      Other Indebtedness.  Debtor further agrees that this Security Agreement shall secure, in addition to the indebtedness and/or obligations described herein, to secure the payment and performance of all other indebtedness and obligations of whatever kind and character (except solely any indebtedness which is prohibited from being secured hereby under any applicable law of the State of Texas or the United States of America), owing or which may hereafter become owing or to be performed by any one or more of the Debtors or Obligors to secured party, whether such indebtedness or obligations are evidenced by a note, open account, overdraft, endorsement, surety agreement, guaranty agreement, or otherwise, and whether such indebtedness or obligations are present or future, direct or indirect, primary or secondary, joint or several, fixed or contingent or otherwise, whether such indebtedness or obligations were originally owed to secured party or to be

 

46



 

performed for secured party, and whether or not such indebtedness or obligations were created or otherwise by any secured party, and whether or not such indebtedness or obligations were created by any then owner of any interest in or to any of the personal Property, it being contemplated that one or more of the present or future Debtors or Obligors may now or hereafter be or become indebted or obligated to secured party in further sum or sums; and Debtor further agrees that if any default ever occurs under any instrument, document or other writing whatsoever now or hereafter evidencing or securing any indebtedness now or hereafter secured by this Security Agreement, then, in any such event, secured party may, at its option, (without demand, notice of any such default or event, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, presentment for payment or acceleration or any other act or notice whatsoever), declare immediately due and payable any and all indebtedness than secured hereby.

The fiscal year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year.

 

7.2          BOOKS AND RECORDS.

agreed upon by the Partners.  The books and records shall include the designation and identification of any property in which the Partnership owns a beneficial interest; such records shall include, but shall not be limited to, the ownership of property (real, personal, and mixed), as well as any property in which the Partnership owns an interest and the title to which property has been recorded or is maintained, in the name of one or more designated Partners without designation of the Partnership.  The books and records of the Partnership shall be reviewed annually at the expense of the Partners by a Certified Public Accountant selected by the Partners, who shall annually prepare and deliver to the Partnership for filing the appropriate Federal Partnership Income Tax Return.

ARTICLE 8
MANAGEMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AFFAIRS

 

8.1          MANAGEMENT.

 

Control of the Partnership and all of its affairs shall be in the Partners, who shall have equal rights in the management and conduct of the Partnership investments and activities.

 

Each Partner of the Partnership shall have the right and power to bind the Partnership, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in Paragraph 8.3 and elsewhere in this Agreement.  It is agreed that the general management and final determination of all questions relating to the usual daily business affairs and ministerial acts of the Partnership, shall rest in the Partners.  In this connection, and not by way of limitation, each Partner of the Partnership, is authorized to do any and all things and to execute any and all documents, financing statements, etc., necessary or expedient to carry out and effectuate the purpose of the parties as expressed in this Partnership Agreement.  All business arrangements entered into shall be upon such terms and conditions as generally would be characteristic of a business man in similar circumstances exercising prudent and sound business judgment.  Each Partner of the Partnership shall devote such attention, and business capacity, to the affairs of the Partnership, as may be reasonably necessary.

 

8.2          NOMINEES.

 

All Partners recognize that sometimes there are practical difficulties in doing business as a Partnership, occasioned by outsiders seeking to satisfy themselves relative to the capacity of the Partner to act for and on behalf of the Partnership, or for other reasons.  Therefore, any Partner, upon prior authorization by a vote of one hundred percent (100%) in ownership interests, not in numbers may acquire real and personal property, arrange financing, enter into contracts and complete other arrangements needed to effectuate the purposes set forth in Article 2 hereof, either in such authorized Partner’s own name, or in the name of a nominee, without having to disclose the existence of this Partnership.  If a Partner is authorized by the Partners to carry on the business of the Partnership in his own name, or in the name of a nominee, such Partner shall place a written declaration of trust in the Partnership books and records that acknowledges the nominee capacity in which he acts and the name of the true or equitable owner, namely, the Partnership.

 

52



 

The acquisition of Partnership property or the creation of indebtedness of the Partnership in the name of a Partner, or any third party, acting as such a nominee, shall not give such Partner, or such third party, an interest in partnership property or, in the case of a Partner, cause him to be liable for a Partnership debt in excess of his percentage of interest in the Partnership as set out opposite his signature to this Agreement.

 

8.3          RESTRICTIONS ON AUTHORITY OF MANAGER AND PARTNERS.

 

The individual Partners of the Partnership shall not have any authority with respect to the Partnership and this Agreement to:

                                                                (5)           Assign, transfer, pledge, compromise, or release any claim of the Partnership except for full payment, or arbitrate, or consent to the arbitration of any of its disputes or controversies; or

 

                                                                (6)           Make, execute, or deliver any deed, bond, deed of trust, guarantee, indemnity or surety bond, accommodation paper or accommodation endorsement, long-term ground lease, contract to sell all or any part of any Partnership property, any new note or mortgage, or renew and extend without increasing any existing note or mortgage, or otherwise incur any indebtedness without first having obtained the vote, or written consent, of one hundred percent (100%) in ownership interest, not in numbers, of the Partners; or

 

                                                                (7)           Do any of the following without the unanimous consent of all of the Partners:

 

                                                                                (a)           Confess a judgment;

                                                                                (c)           Create any personal liability for any Partner other than that personal liability to which any Partner may have agreed to in writing.

The Partners shall keep regular minutes of all their proceedings.  The minutes shall be placed in the minute book of the Partnership.

 

8.5          ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

 

Any action required by statute or by this Agreement to be taken at a meeting of the Partners, or any action which may be taken at a meeting of the Partners, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the Partners entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof and such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Partners.  Any such signed consent, or a signed copy thereof, shall be placed in the minute book of the Partnership.

 

8.6          NO RESTRAINTS ON PARTNERS.

 

A Partner’s participation in this Partnership shall not in any way act as a restraint on the other present or future business activities or investments of any Partner or any employee, officer, director, member, manager, shareholder, or partner, of any Partner (“Partner Affiliates”), whether or not such activities are competitive with the business of the Partnership.  As a result of this Agreement, no Partner, nor any Partner Affiliate shall, under any circumstances, be obligated or bound to offer or present to the Partnership any business opportunity presented or offered to him as a prerequisite to the acquisition of or investment in, such business opportunity by any Partner, or Partner Affiliate, for his account or the account of others.

ARTICLE 10
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS

 

                                                10.1        RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

 

No Partner or authorized transferee of a Partner shall, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, pledge or encumber or otherwise transfer his or its interest in the Partnership except by transfer made in the following described manner.  Should any Partner (“Selling Partner”) desire to transfer his interest in the Partnership he must first notify the other Partner(s) in writing of the identity of the proposed transferee and the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.  If the proposed transaction is a sale for consideration, the other Partner(s), on terms and conditions no less favorable to the other Partner(s) than the terms and conditions of the proposed sale, shall have an option for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from the Seller Partner in which to notify the Seller Partner of their election to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Partnership interest in such proportions as they may agree and, absent agreement, in the ratio that each purchasing Partner’s Capital Contribution bears to the Capital Contributions of all of the purchasing Partner(s).  If the other Partner(s) do not elect to purchase the Selling Partner’s interest, the Selling Partner shall have sixty (60) days from (i) the date all the other Partners elect not to purchase or (ii) the lapse of such thirty (30) day option period, whichever first occurs, in which to consummate the sale to the prospective purchaser on no more favorable terms to the purchaser than those contained in the notice given to the other Partner(s).  If such Selling Partner does not consummate such sale to the prospective purchaser during such period, the Selling Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall again become subject to the right of refusal in favor of the other Partners.

 

If the proposed transaction is a transfer for no consideration to anyone other than a Partner’s spouse or children, or a Trustee for their benefit, the Partners shall nevertheless have an option for the period stated in the preceding paragraph to pay the Selling Partner the value of his interest in cash.  The value of the interest shall be as agreed by the other Partner(s) and the Selling Partner.  If they are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the notice of the proposed transfer is given (i) upon the value of the interest or (ii) upon one independent appraiser who will determine the value of the interest, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, the value of the interest shall be determined by an appraiser appointed by the District Court of Bexar County, Texas.  Any Partner shall have the right to file a Petition with the District Court requesting such appointment.  The sale shall be closed within fifteen (15) days following the date the value of such Partnership interest is determined.

 

55



 

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the interest of a Partner or the transferee of a Partner is freely assignable and transferable, provided (i) that the transferee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the other Partner(s) accepting and adopting the provisions, representations and agreements of a Partner set forth in this Agreement; (ii) that the remaining Partner(s) shall be satisfied that such transfer would not result in the close of the Partnership’s taxable year with respect to all Partners, and the termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 708(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or in the termination of its status as a partnership under the said Code (unless there remains only one Partner); and (iii) that the Manager is satisfied that such transfer shall not cause the Partnership or the general Partners to be in violation of any applicable state or federal laws.  Such transferee shall not have the right to become a substitute partner unless (i) all other Partners consent to such a substitution, which consent may be given or withheld in any other Partner’s sole discretion, and (ii) such transferee executes an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Manager accepting the terms and provisions of this Agreement and pays any reasonable expenses in connection with his admission as a Partner (including legal and accounting expenses).  The term “transfer”, when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership interest, includes a sale, assignment, gift or any other disposition.  Any transfer, if made, other than in compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be void and without force or effect.  Any attempt by any Partner to dispose of his interest in violation of this prohibition shall constitute a material default hereunder.

 

                                                10.2        DEATH OF PARTNER.

 

The death of any Partner shall not have the effect of terminating or dissolving this Partnership.  Upon the death of any Partner, the Partnership business shall be continued until the end of the term, or until it is otherwise terminated pursuant to the provisions of this agreement.

 

The personal representative of the Estate of the Deceased Partner shall succeed to his interest in this Partnership and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; however, in the event that the interest of the Deceased Partner, does not pass in trust, or passes to more than one heir or devisee or upon termination of any such trust, such interest is distributed to more than one beneficiary, then such heirs, devisees and/or beneficiaries (herein referred to as the Distributees) shall, within ninety (90) days after distribution by the Estate of the Deceased Partner or by the Trustee under any trust established by the Deceased Partner, execute and deliver to the other Partner a written instrument (including a Power of Attorney) appointing one person, firm, or corporation as and to be the agent of and for said Distributees.  Such agent shall be responsible for collecting, receiving, and making all payments and contributions required hereunder, shall vote the entire interest of the Distributees, and shall perform all other obligations of such Distributees performable by reason of or arising from their interest in the Partnership; and, any and all payments and/or disbursements due to the Distributees for or arising from their interest in the Partnership shall be deemed to have been validly made to such Distributees by paying the same to such duly designated agent.

 

10.3        ASSUMPTION BY ASSIGNEES.

 

Any transferee or assignee to whom an interest in the Partnership may be transferred under the terms of this Agreement, who is not at the time of such transfer a party to this Agreement, shall take such interest subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall not be considered to have title to such interest until said transferee or assignee shall have accepted and assumed the terms and conditions of this Agreement by a written Agreement to that effect.

 

56

ARTICLE 12
TERMINATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

 

The Partnership may be terminated at any time at a specially called meeting upon the affirmative vote of one hundred percent (100%) in ownership interest, not in numbers, of the Partners.  Upon such termination the assets of the Partnership shall be applied as follows:  (i) to payment of the outstanding Partnership liabilities, although an appropriate reserve may be maintained in the amount determined by the Manager of the Partnership for any contingent liability until said contingent liability is satisfied, and (ii) the balance of such reserve, if any, shall be distributed together with any other sums remaining after payment of the outstanding Partnership  liabilities to the Partners in the percentages set out opposite their signatures to this Agreement, unless otherwise provided herein.

Exhibit F

 

GUARANTY OF TOM BROWN, INDIVIDUALLY

 

WHEREAS, BROWN AND MANN - GLOBALSCAPE, JOINT VENTURE , hereinafter called “Debtor”, has executed that one certain promissory note dated of even date herewith, in the original principal amount of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,250,000.00), payable to the order of STERLING BANK (“STERLING BANK”) with its principal office and place of business in the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, hereinafter called “Bank”; and

 

WHEREAS, the undersigned desires that Bank make available and extend credit to Debtor from time to time;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for a good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, hereinafter, whether one or more, called “Guarantor”, jointly and severally hereby absolutely, irrevocably, and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and agrees and promises to pay to Bank, the following listed obligations of Debtor to Bank (all such obligations being hereinafter collectively called the “indebtedness”):

 

(a)           that one certain Promissory  Note dated of even date herewith executed by Debtor, and payable to the order of Bank in the original principal sum of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,250,000.00), secured by certain real and personal property;

 

(b)           any and all sums as may become due and payable under the above referenced note, under the terms of any instruments securing same; and

 

(c)           in addition to the principal advanced by Bank under said note, any and all interest, penalties, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) paid or incurred by Bank in endeavoring to collect the indebtedness guaranteed hereby or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty.

 

This Guaranty hereunder shall be governed by the following terms and conditions:

 

1.             This Guaranty shall be a continuing absolute and unconditional Guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect as to Guarantor notwithstanding the fact that at any time or from time to time there is no indebtedness due and owing from Debtor to Bank.  This Guaranty shall be subject to discontinuance only on the Cashier of Bank actually receiving written notice from Guarantor of discontinuance of this Guaranty, but no such notice shall affect or impair the obligations hereunder of Guarantor with respect to any indebtedness existing at the date of receipt of such notice by Bank plus any advances made to or for the account of Debtors after receipt of such notice pursuant to the obligation of Bank under a commitment to Debtor entered into prior to the receipt of such notice, plus interest, plus expenses paid or incurred by Bank in endeavoring to collect the indebtedness or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor.  Any such notice of discontinuance by Guarantor shall not affect or impair the obligations hereunder of any other Guarantor, their obligations to continue in full force and effect.

 

2.             Without further authorization from or notice to Guarantor, Bank may grant credit to Debtor from time to time, in such manner, on such terms, and for such times as it deems best, and Bank may: (a) alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, renew, or change the time or

 

 

59



 

manner for the payment of any indebtedness, increase or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or release or add any one or more Guarantors or endorsers; (b) allow substitution of or withdrawal of collateral or other security and release collateral or other security or subordinate the same.

 

3.             Bank may, without demand or notice of any kind, at any time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by Guarantor, appropriate and apply towards the payment of such amount, and in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect any property, balances, credits, deposits, accounts or monies of Guarantor in possession or control of Bank for any purpose.  In addition, Bank may appropriate and apply any such property of Debtor in possession or control of Bank for any purpose in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect (including the liquidation of any debt not guaranteed hereunder).  Any amounts realized by Bank from collateral or security held by Bank for the payment of the indebtedness or received from whatsoever source may be applied in such manner and order of application as Bank may from time to time elect (including the liquidation of any debt not guaranteed hereunder).  Guarantor agrees that if at any time payment of any indebtedness or part thereof to Bank is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect as though such payment to Bank had not been made.  Any payment made on any indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made by Debtor unless express written notice is given to Bank at the time of such payment that such payment is made by Guarantor, or one or more of them, as specified in such notice.

 

4.             If Guarantor becomes liable for any debt owing by Debtor to Bank by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not in any manner be impaired or affected thereby. Guarantor’s liability hereunder is independent of any liability Guarantor may incur as a co-maker, partner, officer, director, shareholder, agent, employee, contractor, or other capacity, of the Debtor.

 

5.             In the event of default by Debtor in payment of the indebtedness, or any part thereof, when the same becomes due either by its terms or as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or in the event of death, incompetency, dissolution or insolvency of Debtor or Guarantor, or upon an assignment by Debtor or Guarantor for the benefit of creditors, then and in such event Guarantor shall immediately pay the amount due thereon to Bank at its offices in San Antonio, Texas, subject to the limit on principal, if any, set out above.

 

6.             Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty; (b) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the indebtedness; (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest, and all other notices whatsoever; (d) all diligence in collection or protection of, resort to, or realization upon, the indebtedness or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing; or any right to require preservation of liability of any person on the indebtedness, or any part thereof, or on any Security; (e) any right of subrogation until all indebtedness hereby guaranteed has been paid in full unless such right is expressly given to Guarantor in writing by Bank; (f) any right to require Bank to forthwith sue Debtor to collect any indebtedness as a prerequisite to Bank’s taking any action against Guarantor hereunder or any right to have Debtors joined with Guarantor in any suit brought against Guarantor on this Guaranty; (g) any right to priority of any obligation of Debtor to Guarantor, Guarantor hereby expressly subordinating any such obligation to the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, and agreeing that any such obligation of Debtor to Guarantor shall not be paid in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Bank.

 

60



 

7.             This Guaranty is for the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment by Bank, its successors or assigns, of the indebtedness or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness, but Bank shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee, to enforce this Guaranty for the benefit of Bank as to so much of the indebtedness as it has not assigned.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, and upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor.

 

8.             The rights of Bank are cumulative and shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights hereunder or otherwise against Guarantor or by any number of successive actions unless and until all indebtedness hereby guaranteed has been paid or performed, and all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder have been fully performed.  No delay on the part of Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  No action of Bank permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty or any obligations of Guarantor hereon.  For the purposes hereof, indebtedness shall include all obligations of Debtor to Bank, notwithstanding any right or power of Debtor or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation of the undersigned hereunder.  This Guaranty shall be and continue effective notwithstanding any legal disability of Debtor to incur the indebtedness in whole or in part.  If Bank holds one or more other guaranties executed by any of the undersigned concerning any debt of Debtor to Bank, such other guaranties shall be considered cumulative unless expressly released and/or discharged by Bank, and the limit of liability, if any, imposed by such other guaranty or guaranties shall be added to the limit of liability, if any, set out above, in determining the total cumulative amount of liability of the persons(s) obligated under such other guaranty or guaranties.

 

9.             If more than one party shall execute this Guaranty, the term “Guarantor” shall mean all parties executing the same, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder, and the liability of each shall continue notwithstanding the incapacity, death or disability of any other, or the discontinuance hereof by any other.

 

10.           Should any one or more of the provisions of this Guaranty be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain effective.  Anything to the contrary herein, or in any other document related hereto notwithstanding, Guarantor shall never be obligated to pay more than the highest rate of interest allowed by law in connection with any indebtedness guaranteed hereunder.

 

11.           The undersigned Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that (i) this guaranty agreement is being executed prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the execution of the instrument referenced in paragraph (a) on the first page of this guaranty agreement, (ii) as part of the consideration for this guaranty, the Bank has agreed to make the loan pursuant to the terms of said instrument, and (iii) without this guaranty agreement, the Bank would not have made the loan.

GUARANTY OF DAVID L. MANN, INDIVIDUALLY

 

 

WHEREAS, BROWN AND MANN - GLOBALSCAPE, JOINT VENTURE , hereinafter called “Debtor”, has executed that one certain promissory note dated of even date herewith, in the original principal amount of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,250,000.00), payable to the order of STERLING BANK (“STERLING BANK”) with its principal office and place of business in the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, hereinafter called “Bank”; and

 

WHEREAS, the undersigned desires that Bank make available and extend credit to Debtor from time to time;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for a good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, hereinafter, whether one or more, called “Guarantor”, jointly and severally hereby absolutely, irrevocably, and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt payment at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and agrees and promises to pay to Bank, the following listed obligations of Debtor to Bank (all such obligations being hereinafter collectively called the “indebtedness”):

 

(a)           that one certain Promissory  Note dated of even date herewith executed by Debtor, and payable to the order of Bank in the original principal sum of ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,250,000.00), secured by certain real and personal property;

 

(b)           any and all sums as may become due and payable under the above referenced note, under the terms of any instruments securing same; and

 

(c)           in addition to the principal advanced by Bank under said note, any and all interest, penalties, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) paid or incurred by Bank in endeavoring to collect the indebtedness guaranteed hereby or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty.

 

This Guaranty hereunder shall be governed by the following terms and conditions:

 

1.             This Guaranty shall be a continuing absolute and unconditional Guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect as to Guarantor notwithstanding the fact that at any time or from time to time there is no indebtedness due and owing from Debtor to Bank.  This Guaranty shall be subject to discontinuance only on the Cashier of Bank actually receiving written notice from Guarantor of discontinuance of this Guaranty, but no such notice shall affect or impair the obligations hereunder of Guarantor with respect to any indebtedness existing at the date of receipt of such notice by Bank plus any advances made to or for the account of Debtors after receipt of such notice pursuant to the obligation of Bank under a commitment to Debtor entered into prior to the receipt of such notice, plus interest, plus expenses paid or incurred by Bank in endeavoring to collect the indebtedness or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor.  Any such notice of discontinuance by Guarantor shall not affect or impair the obligations hereunder of any other Guarantor, their obligations to continue in full force and effect.

 

2.             Without further authorization from or notice to Guarantor, Bank may grant credit to Debtor from time to time, in such manner, on such terms, and for such times as it deems best, and Bank may: (a) alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, renew, or change the time or manner for the

63



 

payment of any indebtedness, increase or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or release or add any one or more Guarantors or endorsers; (b) allow substitution of or withdrawal of collateral or other security and release collateral or other security or subordinate the same.

 

3.             Bank may, without demand or notice of any kind, at any time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by Guarantor, appropriate and apply towards the payment of such amount, and in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect any property, balances, credits, deposits, accounts or monies of Guarantor in possession or control of Bank for any purpose.  In addition, Bank may appropriate and apply any such property of Debtor in possession or control of Bank for any purpose in such order of application as Bank may from time to time elect (including the liquidation of any debt not guaranteed hereunder).  Any amounts realized by Bank from collateral or security held by Bank for the payment of the indebtedness or received from whatsoever source may be applied in such manner and order of application as Bank may from time to time elect (including the liquidation of any debt not guaranteed hereunder).  Guarantor agrees that if at any time payment of any indebtedness or part thereof to Bank is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect as though such payment to Bank had not been made.  Any payment made on any indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made by Debtor unless express written notice is given to Bank at the time of such payment that such payment is made by Guarantor, or one or more of them, as specified in such notice.

 

4.             If Guarantor becomes liable for any debt owing by Debtor to Bank by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not in any manner be impaired or affected thereby. Guarantor’s liability hereunder is independent of any liability Guarantor may incur as a co-maker, partner, officer, director, shareholder, agent, employee, contractor, or other capacity, of the Debtor.

 

5.             In the event of default by Debtor in payment of the indebtedness, or any part thereof, when the same becomes due either by its terms or as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or in the event of death, incompetency, dissolution or insolvency of Debtor or Guarantor, or upon an assignment by Debtor or Guarantor for the benefit of creditors, then and in such event Guarantor shall immediately pay the amount due thereon to Bank at its offices in San Antonio, Texas, subject to the limit on principal, if any, set out above.

 

6.             Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty; (b) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the indebtedness; (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest, and all other notices whatsoever; (d) all diligence in collection or protection of, resort to, or realization upon, the indebtedness or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing; or any right to require preservation of liability of any person on the indebtedness, or any part thereof, or on any Security; (e) any right of subrogation until all indebtedness hereby guaranteed has been paid in full unless such right is expressly given to Guarantor in writing by Bank; (f) any right to require Bank to forthwith sue Debtor to collect any indebtedness as a prerequisite to Bank’s taking any action against Guarantor hereunder or any right to have Debtors joined with Guarantor in any suit brought against Guarantor on this Guaranty; (g) any right to priority of any obligation of Debtor to Guarantor, Guarantor hereby expressly subordinating any such obligation to the indebtedness hereby guaranteed, and agreeing that any such obligation of Debtor to Guarantor shall not be paid in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Bank.

 

64



 

7.             This Guaranty is for the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment by Bank, its successors or assigns, of the indebtedness or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness, but Bank shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee, to enforce this Guaranty for the benefit of Bank as to so much of the indebtedness as it has not assigned.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, and upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor.

 

8.             The rights of Bank are cumulative and shall not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights hereunder or otherwise against Guarantor or by any number of successive actions unless and until all indebtedness hereby guaranteed has been paid or performed, and all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder have been fully performed.  No delay on the part of Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  No action of Bank permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty or any obligations of Guarantor hereon.  For the purposes hereof, indebtedness shall include all obligations of Debtor to Bank, notwithstanding any right or power of Debtor or anyone else to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such obligation of the undersigned hereunder.  This Guaranty shall be and continue effective notwithstanding any legal disability of Debtor to incur the indebtedness in whole or in part.  If Bank holds one or more other guaranties executed by any of the undersigned concerning any debt of Debtor to Bank, such other guaranties shall be considered cumulative unless expressly released and/or discharged by Bank, and the limit of liability, if any, imposed by such other guaranty or guaranties shall be added to the limit of liability, if any, set out above, in determining the total cumulative amount of liability of the persons(s) obligated under such other guaranty or guaranties.

 

9.             If more than one party shall execute this Guaranty, the term “Guarantor” shall mean all parties executing the same, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder, and the liability of each shall continue notwithstanding the incapacity, death or disability of any other, or the discontinuance hereof by any other.

 

10.           Should any one or more of the provisions of this Guaranty be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain effective.  Anything to the contrary herein, or in any other document related hereto notwithstanding, Guarantor shall never be obligated to pay more than the highest rate of interest allowed by law in connection with any indebtedness guaranteed hereunder.

 

11.           The undersigned Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that (i) this guaranty agreement is being executed prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the execution of the instrument referenced in paragraph (a) on the first page of this guaranty agreement, (ii) as part of the consideration for this guaranty, the Bank has agreed to make the loan pursuant to the terms of said instrument, and (iii) without this guaranty agreement, the Bank would not have made the loan.
