Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder that, but for the provisions of this Section 2.5, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.5, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.5 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.5 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or the Lender.

Section 4.3. Marshalling, Etc. Each Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to require marshaling of assets or collateral for repayment of the Obligations or indebtedness under any other agreement with Lender if an Event of Default occurs. Upon any Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, realize or foreclose upon any of the Collateral or any portion or part of the Collateral in any order including, but not limited to, the property encumbered by the Security Instruments.

Each Borrower also waives any right under 12 Okla. Stat. § 686 or under any other applicable Law to obtain credit for the fair market value of any Collateral, even if any or all of the Security Instruments are released by Lender, unless Lender forecloses any of the Security Instruments and any of the Collateral is sold at sheriff’s sale or by power of sale.

Section 4.4. Cross-Collateralization.

In the unlikely event that the applicable account officer, branch manager or the customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint to Borrowers’ satisfaction or if Lender has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with Borrowers after attempting to do so informally, Borrowers and Lender agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

(ii) Sending Notice of Dispute. If either Borrowers or Lender intends to seek arbitration, then Borrowers or Lender must first send to the other by certified mail, return receipt requested, a written Notice of Dispute. The Notice of Dispute to Lender should be addressed to: Dennis E. Nixon, President, at International Bancshares Corporation, P.O. Drawer 1359, Laredo, Texas 78042-1359 or if by email, ibcchairman@ibc.com (special email address to be provided by IBC). The Notice of Dispute must (A) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (B) explain specifically what relief is sought. Borrowers may download a copy of the Notice of Dispute at www.ibc.com or may obtain a copy from its account officer or branch manager.

(iii) If the Dispute is not Informally Resolved. If Borrowers and Lender do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, Borrowers or Lender may commence a binding arbitration proceeding. During the binding arbitration proceeding, any settlement offers made by Borrowers or Lender shall not be disclosed to the Arbitrator.

(iv) “DISPUTE(S)”. As used herein, the word “Dispute(s)” includes any and all controversies or claims between the parties of whatever type or manner, including without limitation, any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, any and all services or products provided by Lender, any and all past, present and/or future loans, lines of credit, letters of credit, credit facilities or other form of indebtedness and/or agreements involving the parties, any and all transactions between or involving the parties, and/or any and all aspects of any past or present relationship of the parties, whether banking or otherwise, specifically including but not limited to any claim founded in contract, tort, fraud, fraudulent inducement, misrepresentation or otherwise, whether based on statute, regulation, common law or equity.

(v) “CONSUMER DISPUTE” and “BUSINESS DISPUTE”. As used herein, “Consumer Dispute” means a Dispute relating to an account (including a deposit account), agreement, extension of credit, loan, service or product provided by Lender that is primarily for personal, family or household purposes. “Business Dispute” means any Dispute that is not a Consumer Dispute.

(vi) “PARTIES” or “PARTY”. As used in these Arbitration Provisions, the term “parties” or “party” means Lender and each Borrower, and each and all persons and entities signing this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any other agreements between or among any of the parties as part of this transaction. “Parties” or “party” shall be broadly construed and include individuals, beneficiaries, partners, limited partners, limited liability members, shareholders, subsidiaries, parent companies, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, heirs, agents and/or representatives of any party to such documents, any other person or entity claiming by or through one of the foregoing and/or any person or beneficiary who receives products or services from Lender and shall include any other owner and holder of the Notes. Throughout these Arbitration Provisions, the term “Arbitrator” refers to the individual arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, as the case may be, before which the Dispute is arbitrated.

(vii) BINDING ARBITRATION. The parties agree that any Dispute between the parties shall be resolved by mandatory binding arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions at the election of either party. BY AGREEING TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IN ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO LITIGATE IN COURT (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court for a Consumer Dispute as provided below).

(viii) CLASS ACTION WAIVER. The parties agree that (A) no arbitration proceeding hereunder whether a Consumer Dispute or a Business Dispute shall be certified as a class action or proceed as a class action, or on a basis involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other customers or potential customers or persons similarly situated, and (B) no arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be consolidated with, or joined in any way with, any other arbitration proceeding. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE A CONSUMER DISPUTE OR A BUSINESS DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

(ix) FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND TEXAS LAW. The parties acknowledge that this Loan Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern (A) the interpretation and enforcement of these Arbitration Provisions, and (B) all arbitration proceedings that take place pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT TEXAS SUBSTANTIVE LAW WILL APPLY IN ANY BINDING ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT ACTION REGARDLESS OF WHO INITIATES THE PROCEEDING, WHERE BORROWER RESIDES OR WHERE THE DISPUTE AROSE, UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW.

(b) PROVISIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO A CONSUMER DISPUTE:

(i) Any and all Consumer Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplemental Procedures for Resolution of Consumer - Disputes and Consumer Due Process Protocol (which are incorporated herein for all purposes). It is intended by the parties that these Arbitration Provisions meet and include all fairness standards and principles of the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Due Process Protocol and due process in predispute arbitration. If a Consumer Dispute is for a claim of actual damages above $250,000 it shall be administered by the AAA before three neutral arbitrators at the request of any party.

(ii) Instead of proceeding in arbitration, any party hereto may pursue its claim in local small claims court, if the Consumer Dispute meets the small claims court’s jurisdictional limits. If the small claims court option is chosen, the party pursuing the claim must contact the small claims court directly. The parties agree that the class action waiver provision also applies to any Consumer Dispute brought in small claims court.

(iii) For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $2,500, Lender will pay all arbitration fees and costs provided Borrowers submitted a Notice of Dispute with regard to the Consumer Dispute prior to initiation of arbitration. For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $5,000, Lender also agrees to pay Borrowers’ reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable expenses Borrowers’ attorney charges Borrowers in connection with the arbitration (even if the Arbitrator does not award those to Borrowers) plus an additional $2,500 if Borrowers obtain a favorable arbitration award for its actual damages which is greater than any written settlement offer for its actual damages made by Lender to Borrowers prior to the selection of the Arbitrator.

(iv) Under the AAA’s Supplemental Procedures for Consumer Disputes, if Borrowers’ claim for actual damages does not exceed $10,000, Borrowers shall only be responsible for paying up to a maximum of $125 in arbitration fees and costs. If Borrowers’ claim for actual damages exceeds $10,000 but does not exceed $75,000, Borrowers shall only be responsible for paying up to a maximum of $375 in arbitration fees and costs. For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $75,000, Lender will pay all other arbitrator’s fees and costs imposed by the administrator of the arbitration. With regard to a Consumer Dispute for a claim of actual damages that exceeds $75,000, or if the claim is a non-monetary claim, Lender agrees to pay all arbitration fees and costs Borrowers would otherwise be responsible for that exceed $1,000. The fees and costs stated above are subject to any amendments to the fee and cost schedules of the AAA. The fee and cost schedule in effect at the time Borrowers submit their claim shall apply. The AAA rules also permit Borrowers to request a waiver or deferral of the administrative fees and costs of arbitration if paying them would cause Borrowers financial hardship.

(v) Although under some laws, Lender may have a right to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration, Lender agrees that it will not seek such an award in a binding arbitration proceeding with regard to a Consumer Dispute for a claim of actual damages that does not exceed $75,000.

(vi) To request information on how to submit an arbitration claim, or to request a copy of the AAA rules or fee schedule, Borrowers may contact the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 (toll free) or at www.adr.org.

(i) Any and all Business Disputes between the parties shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in effect at the time of filing, as modified by, and subject to, these Arbitration Provisions. A Business Dispute for a claim of actual damages that exceeds $250,000 shall be administered by AAA before at least three (3) neutral arbitrators at the request of any party. In the event the aggregate of all affirmative claims asserted exceeds $500,000, exclusive of interest and attorney’s fees, or upon the written request of any party, the arbitration shall be conducted under the AAA Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes. If the payment of arbitration fees and costs will cause Borrowers extreme financial hardship Borrowers may request that AAA defer or reduce the administrative fees or request Lender to cover some of the arbitration fees and costs that would be Borrowers’ responsibility.

(ii) The parties shall have the right to (A) invoke self-help remedies (such as setoff, notification of account debtors, seizure and/or foreclosure of collateral, and non-judicial sale of personal property and real property collateral) before, during or after any arbitration, and/or (B) request ancillary or provisional judicial remedies (such as garnishment, attachment, specific performance, receiver, injunction or restraining order, and sequestration) before or after the commencement of any arbitration proceeding (individually, and not on behalf of a class). The parties need not await the outcome of the arbitration proceeding before using self-help remedies. Use of self-help or ancillary and/or provisional judicial remedies shall not operate as a waiver of either party’s right to compel arbitration. Any ancillary or provisional judicial remedy which would be available from a court at law shall be available from the Arbitrator.

(iii) Except to the extent the recovery of any type or types of damages or penalties may not by waived under applicable law, the Arbitrator shall not have the authority to award either party (A) punitive, exemplary, special or indirect damages, (B) statutory multiple damages, or (C) penalties, statutory or otherwise.

(iv) The Arbitrator may award attorney’s fees and costs including the fees, costs and expenses of arbitration and of the Arbitrator as the Arbitrator deems appropriate to the prevailing party. The Arbitrator shall retain jurisdiction over questions of attorney’s fees for fourteen (14) days after entry of the decision.

(d) GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO BOTH CONSUMER DISPUTES AND BUSINESS DISPUTES:

(i) The Arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Arbitration Provisions. The Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the scope or enforceability of these Arbitration Provisions, including (A) all arbitrability questions, and (B) any claim that all or a part of these Arbitration Provisions are void or voidable (including any claims that they are unconscionable in whole or in part).

(ii) These Arbitration Provisions shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Loan Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document, unless all of the parties otherwise expressly agree in writing.

(iii) If a party initiates legal proceedings, the failure of the initiating party to request arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions within 180 days after the filing of the lawsuit shall be deemed a waiver of the initiating party’s right to compel arbitration with respect to the claims asserted in the litigation. The failure of the defending party in such litigation to request arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions within 180 days after the defending party’s receipt of service of judicial process, shall be deemed a waiver of the right of the defending party to compel arbitration with respect to the claims asserted in the litigation. If a counterclaim, cross-claim or third party action is filed and properly served on a party in connection with such litigation, the failure of such party to request arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions within ninety (90) days after such party’s receipt of service of the counterclaim, cross-claim or third party claim shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s right to compel arbitration with respect to the claims asserted therein. The issue of waiver pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions is an arbitrable dispute. Active participation in any pending litigation described above by a party shall not in any event be deemed a waiver of such party’s right to compel arbitration. All discovery obtained in the pending litigation may be used in any subsequent arbitration proceeding.

(iv) Any party seeking to arbitrate shall serve a written notice of intent to any and all opposing parties after a Dispute has arisen. The parties agree a timely written notice of intent to arbitrate by either party pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions shall stay and/or abate any and all action in a trial court, save and except a hearing on a motion to compel arbitration and/or the entry of an order compelling arbitration and staying and/or abating the litigation pending the filing of the final award of the Arbitrator.

(v) Any Arbitrator selected shall be knowledgeable in the subject matter of the Dispute and be licensed to practice law.

(vi) For a one (1) member arbitration panel, the parties are limited to an equal number of strikes in selecting the arbitrator from the AAA neutral list, such that at least one arbitrator remains after the parties exercise all of their respective strikes. For a three (3) member arbitration panel, the parties are limited to an equal number of strikes in selecting the arbitrators from the AAA neutral list, such that at least three arbitrators remain after the parties exercise all of their respective strikes. After exercising all of their allotted respective strikes, the parties shall rank those potential arbitrators remaining numerically in order of preference (with “1” designating the most preferred). The AAA shall review the parties’ rankings and assign a score to each potential arbitrator by adding together the ranking given to such potential arbitrator by each party. The arbitrator(s) with the lowest score total(s) will be selected. In the event of a tie or ties for lowest score total and if the selection of both or all of such potential arbitrators is not possible due to the required panel size, the AAA shall select the arbitrator(s) it believes to be best qualified.

(vii) The parties and the Arbitrator shall treat all aspects of the arbitration proceedings, including, without limitation, any documents exchanged, testimony and other evidence, briefs and the award, as strictly confidential; provided, however, that a written award or order from the Arbitrator may be filed with any court having jurisdiction to confirm and/or enforce such award or order.

(viii) Any statute of limitation which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any claim asserted in any arbitration proceeding under these Arbitration Provisions, and the commencement of any arbitration proceeding tolls such statute of limitations.

(ix) If the AAA is unable for any reason to provide arbitration services, then the parties agree to select another arbitration service provider that has the ability to arbitrate the Dispute pursuant to and consistent with these Arbitration Provisions. If the parties are unable to agree on another arbitration service provider, any party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an Arbitrator to administer the arbitration proceeding pursuant to and consistent with these Arbitration Provisions.

(x) The award of the Arbitrator shall be final and Judgment upon any such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration award shall be in the form of a written reasoned decision and shall be based on and consistent with applicable law.

(xi) Unless the parties mutually agree to hold the binding arbitration proceeding elsewhere, venue of any arbitration proceeding under these Arbitration Provisions shall be in Tulsa County, Oklahoma.

(xii) If any of these Arbitration Provisions are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced without regard to the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

Section 10.17. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. IF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT BY LENDER UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OF THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN TULSA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH BORROWER MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OR ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT, AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY MAIL OR MESSENGER DIRECTED TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH BELOW AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT OR THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER MAILED OR DELIVERED BY MESSENGER. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST BORROWERS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 10.18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY “DISPUTE” AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT ANY “DISPUTE” IS NOT SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION OR IS DEEMED BY THE ARBITRATOR OR BY ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION TO BE NOT ARBITRABLE OR NOT REQUIRED TO BE ARBITRATED, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH “DISPUTE” AND ANY ACTION ON SUCH “DISPUTE.” THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HERETO ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Section 10.19. Maximum Rate of Interest. In no event shall the amount or rate of interest due and payable under this Agreement exceed the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed by applicable Law, and, in the event any such excess payment is made by Borrowers or received by Lender, such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal or be refunded to Borrowers, at the option of Lender. It is the express intent hereof that Borrowers not pay and Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be paid under applicable Law.
