viii STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Nature of the Commercial dispute over the terms of a non- Case recourse loan connected to a multi-million-dollar equipment lease. Stonebriar Commercial Finance, LLC (“Stonebriar”) sued Insight Investments, LLC for alleged breach of a parol letter, pleading for only “equitable” and “nonmonetary relief.” 1
Course of The trial court granted summary judgment for Proceedings Stonebriar on its breach-of-contract claim.2 It then decided Stonebriar’s entitlement to attorneys’ fees via submission.3
Disposition The trial court’s judgment awards Stonebriar specific performance, $291,341 in attorneys’ fees incurred, and additional, conditional appellate attorneys’ fees. 4 Insight moved for a new trial and to vacate, modify, or reform the judgment, 5 but these motions were overruled by operation of law. Insight timely filed this appeal. 6
After Insight filed its notice of appeal, Stonebriar asked the trial court to order Insight to post a supersedeas bond for $5,903,679.08 — a figure notably absent from either the pleadings or the judgment — and the trial court did so. 7

asked this Court to review the trial court’s supersedeas order, and this Court temporarily stayed that order.
ix REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
The judgment below is rife with error, any one of which necessitates a reversal. But since some of the issues, if addressed by the Court, would expedite rendition of a proper judgment below, Insight requests oral argument to explore with the Court which basis or bases for decision will work most efficiently not only for this case, but for the developing jurisprudence of this new and important Court. See generally Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(e).
x ISSUES PRESENTED
I. A summary judgment for specific performance requires a plaintiff to demonstrate the absence of any fact issue, entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, and a lack of an adequate legal remedy for a breach of contract. Stonebriar sued Insight for specific performance of a letter regarding indemnification of Stonebriar for what it considered untimely delivery of a document, a letter that contradicts the parties’ later, fully integrated contract. But Stonebriar admits it suffered no harm because of that delayed delivery. Did the trial court err in granting Stonebriar’s motion for summary judgment?
II. The judgment purports to require Insight to repurchase a lease by reference to a purported agreement that in turn refers to a promissory note instead of setting out an ascertainable amount of money in the judgment. Is the judgment erroneous, unenforceable, and impossible to perform because:
a. judgments are not supposed to require reference to extrinsic documents to determine the performance required under the judgment;
b. the lease agreement referred to in the document mentioned in the judgment was rejected through a bankruptcy proceeding before the judgment was signed, so that Stonebriar cannot convey any rights in the lease in exchange for Insight’s payment to “repurchase” the lease; or
c. the letter referred to in the judgment in turn refers to a promissory note, but there is no signed promissory note in the summary judgment record?
III. A plaintiff who seeks attorneys’ fees under a contract must prove both that the contract authorizes fee-shifting and that the fees it seeks are reasonable and necessary. Stonebriar sought fees under the letter, which fee-shifts only “collection costs.” While the case was, in Stonebriar’s view, a simple one with few disputed facts, it claims to have incurred $291,341 in fees and costs, which Insight
xi objected to as including duplicative work and inflated hours at unreasonable rates. Did the trial court err in awarding Stonebriar $291,341 in past attorneys’ fees and $344,000 in conditional appellate fees and costs?
xii STATEMENT OF FACTS
Insight leases audiovisual and other equipment to end-user
customers.8 Because acquiring that equipment can be capital intensive,
Insight partners with sophisticated lenders like Stonebriar: Stonebriar
lends the funds to Insight to buy the equipment, Insight coordinates the
lease of the equipment to the end customer, and Stonebriar benefits
through a security interest in the equipment and monthly lease
payments from the customer.9
Stonebriar and Insight sign a fully integrated master agreement to govern their future transactions.
To streamline their own transactions, Insight and Stonebriar
agreed in April 2022 to pre-negotiated, comprehensive terms and
conditions to incorporate into future contracts: the Master Non-Recourse
Security Agreement and Assignment.10 We call it “the master agreement.”
The master agreement “set[] forth the terms and conditions
pursuant to which” Insight and Stonebriar “may, from time to time, enter
into specifications” — future contracts — that “incorporate” the master
8 CR380, Czaja Declaration. 9 CR380, Czaja Declaration. 10 CR379–380, Czaja Declaration; CR248–64, Master Non-Recourse Security Agreement and Assignment, art. I (April 11, 2022), attached as App’x 3.
1 agreement, using a form contract based on a template attached to the
master agreement. 11 Each form-contract specification, however, would
“constitute[] a separate and independent agreement between the
parties.”12
Several of the master agreement’s terms matter in this case. Per
section 14 and 15 of article III, Insight — “Debtor” in the master
agreement — agreed that it would “not cause or permit” Stonebriar’s
collateral “to be sold, transferred, assigned, encumbered . . . or disposed
of” without consulting Stonebriar, and Insight would “promptly pay”
Stonebriar any costs it incurred protecting its security interest.13
Under article III, section 25, Insight promised to “promptly” notify
Stonebriar of “any event which would have a material adverse effect” on
Stonebriar’s security interests in the equipment, including providing
notice of “any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or claim may be or
asserted against” the equipment. 14
11 CR248, Master Agreement, art. I. 12 CR248, Master Agreement, art. I. 13 CR251, Master Agreement, art. III, §§ 14–15. 14 CR248, Master Agreement, art. III, § 25.
2 The master agreement also defined the parties’ rights and
responsibilities in the event of a default. Article V, section 3 puts Insight
in default if it “shall default in the due observance or performance of any
term, covenant, or representation contained in this Agreement, or in any
other document made and delivered by” Insight to Stonebriar, but only if
the default is not cured “within fifteen days” after Stonebriar “has given
notice of such default” to Insight. 15 And while the parties contemplated
Stonebriar might sue Insight if a such an uncured default occurred,
section 1.b of article VI limits Insight’s potential responsibility for the
note’s balance: Insight “shall not be liable on a recourse basis for the
payment of the principal and interest due under” the note.16
The form-contract specifications contemplated that several
documents would become part of each contract (in addition to the terms
of the master agreement itself), including a landlord waiver:
15 CR254, Master Agreement, art. IV, § 2; CR249, Master Agreement, art. II, § 5. 16 CR256, Master Agreement, art. VI, § 1.b.
3 Insight agrees to indemnify Stonebriar if it cannot deliver a landlord waiver for an anticipated loan.
In the leadup to a loan in the summer of 2022, Insight and
Stonebriar recognized that Insight was having trouble obtaining a copy
of the landlord waiver that the form specification contemplated. 17 In
essence, that waiver — executed by the landlord for the ultimate lessee
of the equipment — released any lien or claim that the landlord might
make against the equipment securing Stonebriar’s loan. 18
So on July 25, 2022, Insight signed a letter to indemnify Stonebriar
if Insight were unable to provide the Landlord Waiver:
Insight Investments, LLC (“Insight”) indemnifies and holds Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC harmless from Insight’s inability to provide Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC with the
17 See, e.g., CR381, Czaja Declaration. 18 CR402, Landlord Waiver (Nov. 15, 2022), attached as App’x 5.
4 Landlord Waiver for the above-referenced transaction.
The consideration for this indemnification is the loan that Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC will make to Insight evidenced by a Promissory Note dated July 27, 2022. This Promissory Note is secured by the collateral described in the Security Agreement dated July 27, 2022.
If the original documentation is not delivered to Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC’s office, then Insight, at Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC’s sole discretion, shall repurchase the Equipment Lease Agreement for the principal outstanding of the Promissory Note, plus accrued interest at the rate stated in the Promissory Note, plus all costs of collection including attorney’s fees. 19
Insight did so to protect Stonebriar in the event that the lessees’ landlord
claimed a superior interest in the equipment before executing the waiver
(which the landlord never did).20
Stonebriar and Insight complete the loan, creating a new, integrated contract.
Two days later, on July 27, 2022, Stonebriar and Insight signed an
agreement entitled “Specification” that called for funding of a little more
than $5 million to buy equipment to lease to Legacy Sports USA and
19 CR72, Indemnification Letter (July 25, 2022), attached as App’x 6 (emphasis added). 20 CR380, Czaja Declaration.
5 Legacy Cares (“Legacy”). 21 Insight had leased equipment to Legacy at
various times going back to 2021. 22
As the master agreement contemplated, the July 27 specification
“incorporated . . . by reference” the terms of the master agreement. 23 And
it had no other “[a]dditional [t]erms” beyond those in or incorporated into
the specification itself — things like the loan amount ($5,010,998), the
funding date (July 27, 2022), and contract commencement date (July 1,
2022), and the initial contract term (48 months). 24 It does not incorporate,
mention, or even hint at the existence of the July 25 letter. Instead, it
says in paragraph 16 “Additional Terms: NONE.”25
One of the provisions of the incorporated master agreement is this
one in article VIII, section 5:

6 The specification was signed by both parties. 27 The indemnification
letter was not.28
Months passed. Stonebriar received and accepted payments due to
it under the lease, 29 and, to Insight and Stonebriar’s knowledge, Legacy’s
landlord never claimed an interest in the leased equipment superior to
Stonebriar’s own.30
Stonebriar demands that Insight buy back the lease.
On October 14, 2022, Stonebriar demanded out of the blue that
Insight buy back the lease. 31 Stonebriar claimed that, because Insight
had not yet been able to deliver the landlord waiver, the July 25
indemnification letter actually entitled Stonebriar to on-demand
repayment of the multi-million-dollar note balance, plus interest.32
Stonebriar sent a follow-up demand on November 2, 2022, increasing the
claimed buy-back amount. 33

7 Insight got the landlord waiver on November 15, 2022, and sent it
to Stonebriar. Legacy’s landlord “waive[d] and relinquishe[d] . . . any and
all liens, security interests, rights, claims and demands of every kind”
that it might have against the leased equipment. 34
Stonebriar sues for specific performance of the July 25 letter.
Stonebriar sued Insight on November 15, 2022 for breach of
contract. According to Stonebriar, because Insight did not deliver the
landlord waiver when Stonebriar decided it should, the July 25 letter
entitled Stonebriar to force Insight to buy back the equipment lease for
the outstanding balance of the note. 35 Stonebriar sought only specific
performance — it did not plead for breach-of-contract damages (it
suffered none 36) and did not allege that its legal remedies were
inadequate. 37 Nor did Stonebriar plead that it was ready, willing, and
able to deliver the lease should Insight tender payment. 38 Stonebriar did,
however, seek attorneys’ fees under the July 25 letter.39

8 A lessee goes bankrupt, rejects its lease with Insight, and sells the equipment.
Legacy Cares, one of the two lessees, declared bankruptcy in May
2023. 40 The bankruptcy court issued a sale order in November 2023,
explaining that the lease between Legacy and Insight was “not, and may
not be designated in the future to be,” a contract assumed by Legacy
Cares in the bankruptcy. 41 If the equipment were sold, then, effective
upon closing, the Legacy-Insight lease “shall be deemed rejected
pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.” 42 Legacy Cares
ultimately transferred all of the leased equipment to a third party
through the bankruptcy, and Stonebriar continues to receive payments
for the equipment under the financing arrangement utilized to
consummate such transfer.43
The trial court signs summary judgment for Stonebriar.
Stonebriar ultimately moved for summary judgment on its breach-
of-contract claim. 44 It neither argued nor offered evidence that its legal

9, 2023 Letter; CR710–11, Bankruptcy Sale Authorization. 44 Stonebriar initially moved for summary judgment a few weeks after Insight first
answered in the fall of 2022, but the trial court continued that initial setting.
9 remedies were inadequate to cure any breach of the July 25 letter, nor
did it allege or plead that it was ready, willing, and able to deliver the
lease to Insight. Stonebriar also offered no evidence of the note’s
outstanding balance. Insight responded, objecting to much of Stonebriar’s
evidence — including to the July 25 letter itself as improper parol
evidence.45 The trial court overruled Insight’s evidentiary objections and
granted Stonebriar’s motion on the liability issue and later summarily
decided the attorneys’ fee issue by submission.46
On September 16, 2024, the trial court signed its judgment. It
awarded Stonebriar $291,341 in past attorneys’ fees and costs, more than
$300,000 in conditional appellate attorneys’ fees, and ordered Insight to
“repurchase” the Legacy lease as follows:
Insight is therefore ORDERED to repurchase the Equipment Lease Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Letter within seven business days of this Final Judgment.47
The judgment does not specify the amount that Insight must pay to
accomplish that buy-back directive.

Gov’t Code § 22.201(p), § 22.220(a).
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
Unhappy parties cannot avoid the clear terms of their
comprehensive written contracts by resort to earlier, inconsistent
promises. That rule is not a new or novel one — the parol evidence rule
has “operate[d] to the exclusion of” inconsistent “prior of
contemporaneous agreement[s]” in Texas for nearly two hundred years.
See Rockmore v. Davenport, 14 Tex. 602, 604 (1855). Indeed, it bolsters a
vital societal interest: securing the certainties, predictabilities, and
expectations that flow from enforcing clear contracts according to their
terms, the best evidence of the parties’ intent. The judgment here shreds
those principles.
The July 27 specification defines Stonebriar’s rights and Insight’s
responsibilities for any breach by Insight, excluding any ability by
Stonebriar to hold Insight “liable on a recourse basis” for the note’s
balance. Still, the trial court granted summary judgment on Stonebriar’s
claim for specific performance of the July 25 letter, which, according to
Stonebriar, required Insight to — on demand from Stonebriar —
11 personally pay the note’s balance. And despite the July 25 letter
providing only “indemnification[,]” the trial court’s judgment allows
Stonebriar to unwind its loan without the required showing that it
suffered any harm from delayed delivery of the landlord letter.
Aside from failing to prove a breach of the July 25 letter, no
evidence justifies the specific-performance remedy the trial court
awarded. Since, in the course of its bankruptcy, Legacy Cares sold all of
the leased equipment and a new financing arrangement was negotiated,
the lease Insight must buy back no longer exists — Stonebriar thus
cannot prove an ability to perform its own obligations under the July 25
letter. Nor did Stonebriar conclusively prove that money damages are
inadequate to compensate it for any breaches of the July 25 letter, leaving
open the adequate legal remedy that forecloses equitable relief.
ARGUMENT
I. Stonebriar did not conclusively prove any element of its breach-of-contract claim or its entitlement to specific performance.
The familiar summary judgment framework governs this Court’s de
novo review of the Court’s judgment. Scripps NP Operating, LLC v.
Carter, 573 S.W.3d 781, 790 (Tex. 2019). Summary judgment is
appropriate only when the movant proves, by competent evidence, that
12 no genuine issue of material fact exists such that it is entitled to
judgment as a matter of law. Tex. R. Civ. P. 166a(c). In answering that
ultimate question, this Court must — as the trial court should have —
credit as true all evidence favoring Insight, while indulging “[e]very
reasonable inference” and resolving “any doubts” in Insight’s favor.
Carter, 573 S.W.3d at 790. Ultimately, then, “[o]n appeal,” Stonebriar
“still bears the burden of showing that there is no genuine issue of
material fact” and that the trial court properly granted summary
judgment. Rhone-Poulenc, Inc. v. Steel, 997 S.W.2d 217, 223 (Tex. 1999).
Stonebriar cannot carry that burden.
A. The July 27 specification’s integration clause and the parol evidence rule bar enforcement of the July 25 letter.
Specific performance requires an underlying breach of contract.
Maxey v. Maxey, 617 S.W.3d 207, 226 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]
2020, no pet.). But the contract Stonebriar tries to enforce here — the
July 25 letter — did not survive the July 27 specification.
A written agreement “presumes that all prior agreements relating
to the transaction have been merged into it[,]” so it “cannot be added to,
varied, or contradicted” with parol evidence of an “earlier, inconsistent
13 agreement.” Baroid Equip., Inc. v. Odeco Drilling, Inc., 184 S.W.3d 1, 13
(Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2005, pet. denied). That rule
“particularly” applies when the contract recites that it “contains the
entire agreement between the parties.” Id. So “[w]hen the parties have
concluded a valid, integrated agreement, the parol evidence rule
precludes enforcement of” any earlier, inconsistent agreements. Edascio,
L.L.C. v. NextiraOne L.L.C., 264 S.W.3d 786, 796 (Tex. App.—Houston
[1st Dist.] 2008, pet. denied). Such is our case, where the July 25 letter
materially changes the terms of the fully integrated July 27 specification.
To begin, the July 27 specification incorporated all of the master
agreement’s terms into a new contract effective on July 27. “Documents
incorporated into a contract by reference become part of that contract.”
In re 24R, Inc., 324 S.W.3d 564, 567 (Tex. 2010) (per curiam) (orig.
proceeding). Insight and Stonebriar executed the specification “pursuant
to” the master agreement, and “incorporated” its terms into the
specification “by reference.”48 As the master agreement explains, the
specification — though it incorporated the master agreement’s terms —
48 CR266, July 27 Specification.
14 “constitute[d] a separate and independent agreement between the
parties.”49
Stonebriar recognized that the remedies incorporated into the July
27 specification were its only ones for a potential breach by Insight. From
article VIII, section 5 of the master agreement:
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall not be amended or altered in any manner except by a document in writing executed by both parties. 50
The July 27 specification, through the master agreement,
addressed both the effect of Insight’s potential failure to provide required
documentation and Stonebriar’s potential remedies. An “event of default”
occurs under article V, section 2 if Insight “default[s] in the due
observance or performance of any term, covenant or representation” in
the agreement and does not cure it within a certain time. 51 Then,
Stonebriar could, via article VI, section 1.b, sue Insight “for the collection
of all amounts due under the Note[,]” “provided that” Insight “shall not
49 CR248, Master Agreement, art. I. 50 CR258, Master Agreement, art. VIII, § 5. 51 CR254, Master Agreement, art. V, § 2.
15 be liable on a recourse basis for the payment of the principal and interest
due under the Note.”52
In shielding Insight from liability “on a recourse basis[,]” Stonebriar
agreed to forfeit any ability to recover from Insight personally. “[U]nder
a nonrecourse note, the maker does not personally guarantee repayment
of the note and will, thus, have no personal liability.” Fein v. R.P.H., Inc.,
68 S.W.3d 260, 266 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2002, pet. denied).
By excluding Insight from recourse liability, Stonebriar made the note
only “payable out of . . . the proceeds of the sale of the collateral securing
the note[,]” id., rather than directly from Insight’s pocket.
Yet the trial court enforced what Stonebriar admits was an earlier,
inconsistent letter and changed that tailored scheme. Whether an
indemnity agreement or not, the July 25 letter purports to make Insight
responsible for “the principal outstanding of the Promissory Note, plus
accrued interest stated in the Promissory Note[.]”53 Those terms
fundamentally conflict with the master agreement’s instruction that, in
the event of a breach, Insight “is not liable for the payment of the
52 CR256, Master Agreement, art. VI, § 1(b). 53 CR269, July 25 Letter.
16 principal and interest due under the Note.” And the July 25 letter is not
signed by both parties as the integration clause requires.
DeClaire addressed a similar situation. The parties there agreed in
writing that certain stock would “solely secure[]” a note’s repayment, but
the lender tried to hold the borrower personally liable based on an earlier,
oral agreement obligating the borrower personally to repay the note.
DeClaire v. G & B McIntosh Fam. Ltd. P’ship, 260 S.W.3d 34, 43, 46 (Tex.
App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, no pet.). The court of appeals had no
trouble applying the parol evidence rule to the earlier agreement. “The
parties’ written contract[,]” the court explained, “included the same
terms as the oral agreement, with the addition of the sole recourse
language.” Id. The trial court thus could not enforce the earlier, personal
guarantee. Id.
Edascio, L.L.C. involved similar facts. That written contract
between a company and its sales contractor entitled the contractor to
commissions made on sales to customers specifically identified in a
contractual schedule (ultimately, about 20,000 accounts). Edascio,
L.L.C., 264 S.W.3d at 797. But, according to the contractor, the company
previously agreed that the contractor would receive an entire class of
17 commissionable customers (about 45,000 accounts). Id. at 798–99.
Recognizing that parol evidence cannot “add[], var[y], or contradict[]” a
later written contract, id. at 796, the court of appeals held that the first-
in-time oral agreement was no evidence of a contract at all.
Those cases stand for the unremarkable proposition that
“[e]vidence that violates the parol evidence rule has no legal effect and
merely constitutes proof of facts that are immaterial and inoperative.”
DeClaire, 260 S.W.3d at 45. The July 25 letter conflicts with the later,
integrated July 27 specification on the extent and type of liability Insight
might incur for non-delivery of certain contract documents. The July 25
letter thus has no legal effect.
Only that result recognizes the parties’ intent in explicitly
integrating the July 27 specification. The entire “purpose of an
integration clause is to trigger the parol evidence rule[,]” preventing
future enforcement of past, inconsistent agreements. Tri-Steel
Structures, Inc. v. Baptist Found. of Tex., 166 S.W.3d 443, 451 (Tex.
App.—Fort Worth 2005, pet. denied). To conclude that the July 25 letter
remained an enforceable promise after July 27 accomplishes the opposite,
impermissibly writing the integration clause out of the specification.
18 Holding Stonebriar to the integration clause also aligns with
Texas’s policy favoring freedom of contract. Texas law gives sophisticated
parties “broad latitude in defining the terms of their business
relationship[,]” FPL Energy, LLC v. TXU Portfolio Mgmt. Co., L.P., 426
S.W.3d 59, 67 (Tex. 2014), and assumes that they read and understand
what they sign, Nat’l Prop. Holdings, L.P. v. Westergreen, 453 S.W.3d
419, 426 (Tex. 2015). Stonebriar knew about the July 25 letter, but it
ultimately agreed to the July 27 specification, including its integration
clause and its conspicuous omission of any reference to the July 25 letter.
Stonebriar thus made its legal choice: the July 25 letter existed as a gap-
filler until the specification’s execution two days later. Stonebriar long
ago made the business decision to forgo any protections that the July 25
letter might have otherwise afforded.
B. Further, Stonebriar did not conclusively prove its entitlement to specific performance.
In any event, the evidence does not conclusively prove that Insight
breached the July 25 letter by delivering the landlord waiver
unreasonably late, that Stonebriar suffered any of the harm necessary to
trigger a right to indemnity under the letter, or that Stonebriar lacks the
adequate remedy at law specific performance requires.
19 1. Insight only agreed to indemnify Stonebriar; Stonebriar admits, though, that delayed receipt of the landlord waiver caused Stonebriar no harm or damage.
First, the July 25 letter did not empower Stonebriar to unilaterally
unwind the loan merely because Insight had not delivered the landlord
waiver. An agreement’s meaning turns on “the context in which the
words appear and were written — the realities they were meant to
address.” Bd. of Regents of Univ. of Texas Sys. v. IDEXX Labs., 691
S.W.3d 438, 445 (Tex. 2024). While the letter’s last paragraph may confer
a repurchase right, it does so in the context of a promise by Insight to
“indemnif[y]” Stonebriar and “hold[]” it “harmless” from Insight’s
inability to obtain the landlord waiver.54 Using “typical indemnity
language[,]” Wallerstein v. Spirt, 8 S.W.3d 774, 780 (Tex. App.—Austin
1999, no pet.), Insight thus promised to protect Stonebriar from “existing
and/or future loss liability[,]” see Dresser Indus., Inc. v. Page Petroleum,
Inc., 853 S.W.2d 505, 508 (Tex. 1993) (defining “indemnity agreement”).
In context, the buy-back term only reflects the parties’ understanding of
that protection’s scope: potentially, the value of the loan.
54 CR269, July 25 Letter.
20 Reading the July 25 letter as an offer of indemnity rather than
allowing Stonebriar to unwind the loan aligns with Texas’s policy against
forfeiture. “Courts will avoid when possible and proper a construction
which is unreasonable, inequitable, and oppressive,” and “will not declare
a forfeiture unless they are compelled to do so by language which can be
construed in no other way.” Reilly v. Rangers Mgmt., Inc., 727 S.W.2d
527, 530 (Tex. 1987). In other words, any reasonable way to read a
contract to avoid forfeiture prevails. Criswell v. European Crossroads
Shopping Ctr., Ltd., 792 S.W.2d 945, 948 (Tex. 1990). Given the context
in which the buy-back clause appears and Insight’s repeated admonition
that it was providing indemnity, a reasonable reading of the July 25
letter — the only reasonable reading — is that Insight intended to protect
Stonebriar from harm, not give Stonebriar a unilateral right to walk
away and turn the letter into a liquidated damages clause.
That common-sense construction also avoids interpreting the letter
in a way that would make the buy-back clause an illegal penalty. Courts
must avoid interpreting contracts to “impose or enforce an illegal
obligation.” CHSPSC v. Hansen, 525 S.W.3d 671, 689 n.10 (Tex. 2017).
As actual harm provides the “universal rule” for measuring damages for
21 a breach of contract, parties cannot legitimately agree to a measure of
damages that, rather than compensates one for the other’s breach,
penalizes non-compliance. E.g., Phillips v. Phillips, 820 S.W.2d 785, 788
(Tex. 1991). Yet as Stonebriar reads the letter, mere delayed delivery of
a document automatically entitles Stonebriar to the claimed multi-
million-dollar value of its note. That construction makes it a
quintessential penalty, see, e.g., id., and illegal.
As an indemnification, the July 25 letter required only that Insight
protect Stonebriar from harm or damage caused by delayed delivery of
the landlord waiver. See generally Dresser Indus., Inc., 853 S.W.2d at 508.
Stonebriar admittedly suffered none.55 No evidence supports the breach,
materiality, and harm required for Stonebriar to recover.
2. Insight delivered the landlord waiver within the reasonable time Texas law afforded it, so it did not violate the July 25 letter.
Because the July 25 letter did not provide a specific date by which
Insight had to deliver the landlord waiver, the law implicitly gave Insight
a “reasonable time” to do so. See Wade Contractors, Inc. v. C.W.&A., Inc.,
589 S.W.2d 505, 507 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1979, writ ref’d n.r.e.).
55 CR455–56, Stonebriar’s Answer to Interrogatory 8.
22 It was thus incumbent upon Stonebriar to prove beyond debate that,
considering “the nature and character of the thing to be done[,]” “the
difficulty surrounding and attending its accomplishment[,]” and the
other “circumstances” of the case, id., Insight’s delivery of the landlord
waiver in November 2022 was unreasonably late. Stonebriar did not.
Remember first that the landlord waiver served a belt-and-
suspenders role as one of multiple mechanisms for protecting
Stonebriar’s security interest in the equipment. For example, per the
master agreement, Insight agreed to “promptly pay” Stonebriar any costs
Stonebriar incurred protecting its security interest in the leased
equipment. 56 Insight also committed to “promptly” notify Stonebriar of
“any event which would have a material adverse effect” on Stonebriar’s
security interests in the equipment, which included notice of “any lien,
security interest, encumbrance, or claim may be or asserted against” the
equipment. 57 Its delivery of the landlord waiver was thus but a small part
of the overarching scheme protecting Stonebriar’s security interest.
56 CR 251, Master Agreement, art. III, §§ 14–15. 57 CR 253, Master Agreement, art. III, § 25.
23 The landlord waiver itself said nothing about whether the landlord
had — or even claimed — an interest in the leased equipment. By its
terms, Legacy’s landlord simply “waive[d] and relinquishe[d] . . . any and
all liens, security interests, rights, claims and demands of every kind”
that it might have against the leased equipment.58 It neither recognized
that the landlord had an interest in the equipment in the first place, nor
spoke to the legitimacy of any claimed interest. And the landlord never
asserted any such claim, anyway. 59
Nor was the landlord waiver a predicate to Stonebriar receiving
payment: the undisputed evidence is that Stonebriar has and continues
to receive monthly payments due to it.60
For its part, Stonebriar never acknowledges the reasonable time
afforded Insight to deliver the landlord waiver, let alone try to prove or
argue that Insight delivered the letter unreasonably late. The thrust of
Stonebriar’s breach theory is instead that the July 25 letter empowered
it to unwind the loan within its “discretion” at any time, so long as
Stonebriar had not received the landlord waiver, and to continue to
58 CR402, Landlord Waiver. 59 CR381, Czaja Declaration. 60 CR383, Czaja Declaration.
24 demand that unwinding even long after it received the waiver.61
Stonebriar confuses a potential remedy with Insight’s performance
obligation — only if Insight did not deliver the landlord waiver within a
reasonable time and Stonebriar was harmed because of that failure could
Stonebriar then seek indemnity.
Considering all of the circumstances, Stonebriar did not
conclusively prove the “unreasonableness” of delivery, nor did Stonebriar
show how it was harmed thereby.
3. Stonebriar did not show that it lacks a remedy at law.
Specific performance is an injunctive, and thus equitable, remedy.
Sharyland Water Supply Corp. v. City of Alton, 354 S.W.3d 407, 423 (Tex.
2011). Like other injunctive relief, a party seeking a contract’s specific
performance must prove that its damages are an inadequate legal
remedy. Id. The question is not whether specific performance may be a
“more efficient means to remedy” a breach, id., but whether “any
potential harm may be adequately cured by money damages[,]” Sw.
Sunrise, LLC v. John Gannon, Inc., No. 14-22-00551-CV, 2024 WL
1793021, at *3 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Apr. 25, 2024, no pet.)
61 See CR235–344, Stonebriar’s Renewed Traditional Motion for Summary Judgement (Apr. 1, 2024).
25 (mem. op.). Stonebriar did not plead that it lacked an adequate legal
remedy. 62 Stonebriar did not raise that issue in its motion for summary
judgment. 63 And Stonebriar did not prove beyond debate that damages
would not be an adequate remedy — indeed, the only evidence is that
Stonebriar has not suffered any.64
C. Stonebriar did not conclusively prove that it can convey the lease to Insight.
To require Insight to buy back the lease via specific performance,
Stonebriar also had to plead and conclusively prove its own readiness,
willingness, and ableness to “perform[] its part of the agreement.”
Digiuseppe v. Lawler, 269 S.W.3d 588, 594 (Tex. 2008). That “long
recognized and respected” rule imposed a “continuing” burden of proof
“extend[ing] to all times relevant to the contract and thereafter.” Id. at
593. But, at best for Stonebriar, a fact question exists over whether the
lease exists anymore. The company not only failed to plead or prove that
prerequisite to recovery, but the evidence shows that the leased
equipment was sold in connection with Legacy Care’s bankruptcy. There
remains a legitimate, unanswered question about what exactly remains
62 See CR14–22, Original Petition. 63 See CR235–344, Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment. 64 CR455–56, Stonebriar’s Answer to Interrogatory 8.
26 for Insight to buy back, if anything remains at all, as well as the amount
due and how to calculate it.
II. Because the judgment purports to require Insight to repurchase the lease pursuant to an extrinsic promissory note, and because the lease at issue had previously been rejected by a bankruptcy court, the judgment is unenforceable, unduly vague, and indefinite.
The trial court’s judgment purports to resolve the claim between
the parties, but the parties cannot perform the judgment for several
reasons. As noted, the judgment directs Insight to buy back the lease for
an undetermined amount:
Insight is therefore ORDERED to repurchase the Equipment Lease Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Letter within seven business days of this Final Judgment.65
Although the judgment recites that it is a “final, appealable judgment
that disposes of all claims between the parties [and] [a]ll relief not
expressed granted by this Final Judgment is DENIED[,]” 66 it is
erroneously indefinite, vague, and unenforceable. From the judgment’s
face, neither Insight, the district clerk, nor anyone else can know exactly
what Insight must pay, or what Insight will receive for any payments.
65 CR1021–22, Final Judgment. 66 CR1021–22, Final Judgment.
27 First, the judgment refers to the July 25 letter, which is an extrinsic
document that itself refers to another document – a promissory note67 –
that supposedly contains the amount Stonebriar thinks Insight must pay
without accounting for years of payments Stonebriar has been receiving.
Second, the lease to be “repurchased” has been rejected in bankruptcy
and supplanted by new terms with an entirely new, third party. Thus,
there are multiple problems with this judgment, including:
• judgments cannot necessitate reference to extrinsic documents in order to determine the parties’ obligations under the judgment;
• this defect is amplified in this case because the document referred to – the Repurchase Letter – itself refers to another document – the Promissory Note;
• further exacerbating the invalidity of the judgment is that there is no signed promissory note in the summary judgment record;
• moreover, a repurchase of a lease implies that Stonebriar would transfer back to Insight the rights under the lease – but Stonebriar has no rights as a lessor because it forfeited any rights it had during the bankruptcy of the lessee of the equipment.
67 An executed promissory note is not part of the summary judgment or appellate
record. A proposed form of such a note appears at CR262–63.
28 The law of Texas has long required judgments to, among other
things, “conform to the pleadings, the nature of the case proved and the
verdict, if any[.]” Tex. R. Civ. P. 301. In Spiva v. Williams, the Supreme
Court of Texas reversed and remanded a judgment that awarded the
plaintiff $978.36, plus ten percent interest, “subject to an offset agreed
upon by the parties.” 20 Tex. 442, 442–43 (1857). When the plaintiff
complained that the judgment was erroneous, the Supreme Court agreed,
explaining:
The very object of a suit is to adjudicate and declare the respective rights of the parties, in a shape so that the ministerial officers can with certainty carry into execution the judgment of the court, without the ascertainment and determination of additional facts. It is obvious that such is not the case here.

337, 340 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 1974, writ ref’d n.r.e.) (“It is elementary
that a ‘judgment must be sufficiently definite and certain to define and
protect the rights of all litigants, or it must provide a definite means of
ascertaining such rights.’”); Brook Mays Organ Co., Inc. v. Sondock, 551
S.W.2d 160, 165 (Tex. App. 1977, writ ref’d n.r.e.) (“The law is well settled
that a decree must define in clear, specific and unambiguous terms the
duties or obligations imposed upon a party.”).
29 The judgment here, couched in language of “specific performance,”
requires payment of an uncalculated amount even though Stonebriar
pleaded only for “nonmonetary relief.” That alone is a violation of Texas
Rule of Civil Procedure 301. The trial court erred by ordering Insight to
“repurchase the Equipment Lease Agreement” — i.e., to pay Stonebriar
whatever amount Stonebriar would later demand. Specific performance
is a “substitute for monetary damages when such damages would not be
adequate,” Stafford v. S. Vanity Magazine, Inc., 231 S.W.3d 530, 535
(Tex. App.—Dallas 2007, pet. denied), and a judgment that orders Insight
to pay Stonebriar an undetermined sum of money when compared to
Stonebriar’s pleading for “specific performance” and “nonmonetary relief”
is erroneous on its face.
Further, the judgment is erroneously vague despite its instruction
that Insight should act “pursuant to the terms” of the July 25 letter. True
enough, “[s]o long as the judgment of the court makes the figure which
the clerk is to place in the writ of execution determinable by ministerial
act, the judgment cannot be said to lack definiteness.” Int’l Sec. Life Ins.
Co. v. Spray, 468 S.W.2d 347, 350 (Tex. 1971). But the July 25 letter
defines the repurchase amount as the outstanding balance of the
30 promissory note — a note that appears nowhere in the record and with
an unproven balance on the date of judgment. Any calculation of the buy-
back value, then, impermissibly requires “ascertainment of facts not
stated in the judgment itself.” Riner v. Neumann, No. 05-07-01053-CV,
2008 WL 4938438, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Nov. 20, 2008, no pet.) (mem.
op.). Such “determination[s] of issues of fact and law” are quintessentially
judicial functions and must be done before the judgment issues. See
Howell v. Mauzy, 774 S.W.2d 274, 276 (Tex. App.—Austin [3rd Dist.]
1989, writ denied). By failing to do so, the trial court erred, and this
judgment must be reversed.
In a similar vein, the trial court’s judgment erroneously depends on
its construction of a document not even in evidence, ordering Insight to
“repurchase the Equipment Lease Agreement pursuant to the terms of
the Repurchase Letter.” The letter mentioned in the judgment in turn
refers to a “Promissory Note” between Stonebriar and Insight, but that
document does not appear anywhere in the record. Stonebriar’s renewed
motion for summary judgment included certain parts of the master
agreement and “specification” relating to the Insight/Legacy Lease for
31 the equipment at issue, but not the promissory note.68 Although
Stonebriar provides a declaration from its Chief Risk Officer, Jeffrey L.
Wilkison, 69 he simply refers to a “promissory note dated July 27, 2022,”
without providing a copy of that promissory note. Stonebriar’s own
summary judgment evidence about the claimed amounts due cannot be
reconciled either.70 Among other things, Stonebriar never accounts for
payments it does not dispute that it received through Insight from
Legacy, or the payments Stonebriar does not dispute it has been receiving
through Insight from the new holder of the equipment.
Finally, the trial court ignored uncontested evidence that there had
been a “buyout” of the lease to a third party, to which Stonebriar had
tacitly agreed, and which Insight, Legacy, and the third-party buyer had
negotiated under the oversight of the Bankruptcy Court in Arizona.71
Thus, by ordering Insight to “repurchase the Equipment Lease
Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Letter,” the trial
court erred. The trial court’s judgment must “reflect a correct application
68 See CR235–344. 69 CR271–73, Wilkison Declaration. 70 Compare, e.g., CR278, CR305, and Supp. CR34. 71 CR419–20, November 9, 2023 Letter.
32 of the law,” or else it is in error. Salomon v. Lesay, 369 S.W.3d 540, 554
(Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2012, no pet.). “[S]pecific performance
will not be decreed where it appears that performance of the contract by
the defendant is impossible.” Great Hans, LLC v. Liberty Bankers Life
Ins. Co., No. 05-17-01144-CV, 2019 WL 1219110, at *6 (Tex. App.—Dallas
Mar. 15, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op.). For example, if a defendant no longer
owns the land at issue, he cannot be compelled to sell it to the plaintiff.
Id. The same is true here—Stonebriar did not controvert Insight’s
summary evidence that the “Equipment Lease Agreement” and the
equipment it secures has been part of a “buyout” and asset purchase
agreement with an entirely new third party.72 The summary judgment
evidence at the time of the trial court’s judgment therefore showed that
the “Equipment Lease Agreement” with “Legacy” no longer existed, and
Stonebriar did not raise any evidence otherwise.
72 CR419–20, November 9, 2023 Letter. This remains true whether the Court uses
the letter’s definition of the “Equipment Lease Agreement”, i.e., “Lessee: Legacy Sports USA, LLC Equipment Schedule No. 2 to Master Lease Agreement No. 9586 dated September 13, 2021,” CR269, or the definition in Stonebriar’s Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment, i.e., “Schedule A to Specification No. 1 attached and incorporated Lease Agreement 9586 and Schedule No. 2 to Lease Agreement 9586,” CR237.
33 III. Insufficient evidence supports the trial court’s award of attorneys’ fees to Stonebriar.
Finally, Stonebriar is not entitled to attorneys’ fees because the
judgment must be reversed as noted above, and because Stonebriar failed
to prove that the July 25 letter authorized fee-shifting, and that the fees
it requested were reasonable and necessary. Rohrmoos Venture v. UTSW
DVA Healthcare, LLP, 578 S.W.3d 469, 487 (Tex. 2019). Stonebriar did
not do either. .
First, the letter does not authorize fee-shifting in a suit to compel
specific performance.73 By the letter’s terms, attorneys’ fees are part of
the “repurchase” price of the note if a “cost[] of collection:
Insight, at Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC’s sole discretion, shall repurchase the Equipment Lease Agreement for the principal outstanding of the Promissory Note, plus accrued interest at the rate stated in the Promissory Note, plus all costs of collection including attorney’s fees.
Read in the context, then, the attorneys’ fee provision applies only when
those fees are incurred as a collection cost: “including” means that
attorneys’ fees are an “example” of the costs recoverable. See Waak v.
73 Since Stonebriar sought fees only under the letter, and did not plead for fees under
Chapter 38 or any other statute, it waived any ability to seek fees under another contractual term or statute. Intercontinental Grp. P’ship v. KB Home Lone Star L.P., 295 S.W.3d 650, 659 (Tex. 2009).
34 Rodriguez, 603 S.W.3d 103, 108 (Tex. 2020) (explaining that “including”
“has meaning” only if read as providing examples of subject). But
Stonebriar incurred no collection costs. It has not collected anything from
Insight. See Collect, American Heritage Dictionary, available at
American Heritage Dictionary Entry: COLLECT (“To call for and obtain
payment of”). The only relief Stonebriar obtained was specific
performance of a claimed buy-back obligation, which Stonebriar itself
characterizes as “nonmonetary relief.” The judgment awarded it no
money.
In any event, the fee award lacks evidentiary support. Evidence is
factually insufficient when a fee award “is so against the great weight
and preponderance of the evidence that it is clearly wrong and unjust.”
Christus Health Se. Tex. v. Hall, No. 09-07-074-CV, 2008 WL 2759785, at
*6 (Tex. App.—Beaumont July 17, 2008, no pet.) (mem. op.). The fee
claimant bears the burden of providing sufficient evidence of both
reasonable hours worked and reasonable hourly rates. Rohrmoos
Venture, 578 S.W.3d at 487.
Here, Stonebriar claims this is a simple dispute with no contested
issues of material fact or law, yet it also claims that it should recover
35 hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys’ fees. When compared to
the voluminous fee entries sought in this case, the following are
particularly problematic for a contract summary judgment in Collin
County, Texas:
• 11/11/22 – 6.40 hours billed by Dylan French, a third-year attorney billing at $725.00 per hour, for analyzing documents, researching, drafting Stonebriar’s Original Petition, and conferring with Stonebriar’s lead counsel;74
• 12/21/22–12/23/22 – 12.50 hours for Mr. French at $725.00 per hour for redundant tasks already completed — analyzing documents, conferring with Stonebriar’s lead counsel, and drafting Stonebriar’s initial motion for summary judgment, which contained fewer than seven pages of substance; 75
• 1/6/23 – 2.10 hours for Mr. French, still less than four years out of law school, at $890.00 per hour, for drafting Stonebriar’s initial disclosures and internal correspondence amongst Stonebriar’s counsel;76
• 7/30/23–7/31/23 – 4.80 hours for Mr. French at $890.00 per hour, drafting Stonebriar’s five-page reply in support of its Motion for Entry of Protective Order;77
• 3/15/24–3/25/24 – 9.0 hours for Mr. French at $1,070.00 per hour drafting the Stonebriar’s second motion for summary judgment, which differs minimally from Stonebriar’s initial dispositive motion; 78
74 CR873, Time Entries. 75 CR873, Time Entries. 76 CR873, Time Entries. 77 CR875, Time Entries. 78 CR876, Time Entries.
36 • 11/11/22–11/17/22 – 5.2 hours for Ms. LeElle Slifer, an eleven-year attorney, at $1,050.00 per hour, including 2.70 hours for revising Stonebriar’s Original Petition and conferring with Stonebriar’s other counsel and client representative, and 1.5 hours for administrative tasks such as “oversee[ing] petition” and “oversee[ing] service of summons”; 79
• 12/21/22 – 1.50 hours for Ms. LeElle Slifer, at $1,050.00 per hour, conferring with Stonebriar’s other counsel (i.e., her associate, Mr. French) and Stonebriar’s client representative “regarding MSJ”;80 and
• 12/22/22–12/23/22 – 5.50 hours for Ms. LeElle Slifer, at $1,050.00 per hour, for doing essentially the same tasks throughout the next two days.81
Insight filed detailed objections to Stonebriar’s attorney fee evidence,82
and filed the affidavits of Owen Babcock, 83 specifically disputing the
necessity and reasonableness of the fees claimed by Stonebriar. Those
objections and affidavits raised a fact issue making summary judgment
on the fees inappropriate. Yowell v. Granite Operating Co., 620 S.W.3d
335, 353 (Tex. 2020) (party seeking attorneys' fees bears burden of proof
and must supply enough facts to support reasonableness of the amount
awarded, and insufficient evidence requires reversal).
79 CR878, Time Entries. 80 CR879, Time Entries. 81 CR879, Time Entries. 82 CR868–85, Insight’s Objection to Stonebriar Commercial Finance, LLC’s Attorney
Fee Evidence (Aug. 5, 2024). 83 E.g., CR993–97, Babcock Declaration.
37 Finally, the judgment awards an astounding $344,000 in conditional
appellate fees, which were also objected to. The trial court erred in
awarding that sum, even as conditional fees, as the amount is not
supported by sufficient evidence.
PRAYER
The Court should reverse the trial court’s judgment, hold that the
July 25 letter is unenforceable parol evidence, and remand for further
proceedings. Insight also asks for all other relief to which it may be
entitled at law and in equity.

MASTER NON-RECOURSE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT (this ''Agreement"), dated April 11, 2022 between Insight Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Debtor") having its principal office at 611 Anton Boulevard Suite-700, Costa Mesa, California, 92626 and Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Secured Party") having its principal office at 5601Granite Parkway, Suite 1350, Plano, Texas 75024.
Article I
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Secured Party and Debtor may, from time to time, enter into specifications incorporating this Agreement (each a "Specification"), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, pursuant to which Secured Party will lend money to Debtor and Debtor will grant a security interest to Secured Party in designated collateral. Each Specification constitutes a separate and independent agreement between the parties.
Article II
1. To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations (as hereinafter defined) under a Specification, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in and to the following property of Debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created or arising (herein, collectively referred to as the "Collateral"): (i) the contract identified in Schedule A to the Specification (the "Contract"), together with any and all amounts due, to become due or paid to or for the benefit of Debtor thereunder of every kind and description including, without limitation, all rents, stipulated loss or casualty value payments, early termination payments, purchase option payments and renewal option payments; (ii) the personal property subject to such Contract, whether constituting equipment, inventory, fixtures or other (together, the "Equipment") and other items leased or financed under such Contract (together with the Equipment, the "Financed Items"), together with proceeds of the sale, re- lease or other disposition thereof; (iii) all guaranties and other supporting obligations with respect to such Contract obligations (each a "Guaranty", and each obligor thereunder a "Guarantor"); (iv) all of Debtor's right, title and interest in and to the Financed Items and any and all substitutions, replacements, attachments, additions and accessions thereto or therefor and all proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and the proceeds of all leases, subleases, lease extensions and all other dispositions thereof; all accounts arising in connection with the Contract; and (vi) all proceeds of the foregoing. The Contract, the Guaranty and the other Contract documents identified in the Specification are hereinafter referred to as the "Contract Documents" and the obligor under such Contract (the "Customer") and Guarantors of such Contract are together hereinafter referred to as the "Obligors".
2. Unless otherwise set forth in the Specification, Debtor shall direct each Obligor to pay all periodic payments and other sums due and to become due under the Contract Documents directly to the Secured Party. In the event that an Obliger inadvertently pays any such sums to Debtor, Debtor agrees that Debtor shall segregate and hold said sums solely as trustee for Secured Party, and Debtor agrees to immediately forward such payments to Secured Party in the form which they are received, with any necessary endorsement.
3. The term "Obligations" collectively means and includes: (i) Secured Party's loan (together with any extension, renewal, modification, extension or refinancing thereof, the "Loan") in the principal amount set forth in and evidenced by a promissory note executed by Debtor in connection with the Specification in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (together with any extension, renewal, modification, extension or refinancing thereof, hereinafter referred to as the "Note"), including all principal, interest, late charges and any prepayment premium due and to become due under the Loan and/or Note, (ii) Debtor's obligations and liabilities arising out of Debtor's covenants, warranties, representations and agreements contained in this Agreement, (iii) advances made by Secured Party to pay or discharge any other lien, security interest or encumbrance upon the Collateral, (iv) advances made by Secured Party to protect the Collateral or Secured Party's security interest or lien therein, (v) all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Secured Party in the collection of the Note and any other Obligations or in the enforcement of Secured Party's security interest and other rights
{00060045.DOCX 1} Stonebriar Master Non-Recourse Security Agreement and Assignment Insight Legal Approved - :3/21/22
248 in the Collateral or the sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and (vi) all other amounts now or hereafter owed by Debtor to Secured Party under the terms of this Agreement.
4. Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto or assignments of financing statements identifying Debtor as the debtor and the Collateral as the collateral. Debtor hereby ratifies and affirms its authorization for any financing statements, assignments and/or amendments thereto, executed and/or filed by Secured Party in any jurisdiction prior to the date hereof. Debtor shall reimburse Secured Party for all filing and recording fees {together with any recordation tax, if applicable) incurred by Secured Party under this Section 4.
5. Except as otherwise agreed to by Debtor and Secured Party in writing or otherwise set forth herein, the Note is non-recourse and Debtor shall not be personally liable for the payment of any principal or interest due under the Note; provided, however that if the Note is prepaid, Debtor shall be obligated on a full-recourse basis to pay the Prepayment Fee (as defined below) to Secured Party. The foregoing sentence shall not limit, restrict or impair the right of the Secured Party to proceed against Debtor for damages (which may include loss of principal and/or interest, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Secured Party resulting from: (a) the breach of any covenant made by Debtor herein or (b) any representation or warranty of Debtor contained herein being incomplete, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made.
Article Ill
Debtor's Covenants, Representations and Warranties
Debtor covenants, represents and warrants to Secured Party as of the date of the Specification and, as applicable, to the subject Contract that:
1. Debtor is a corporation or limited liability company (as applicable) duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "State of Formation"), is duly qualified to transact business in the jurisdiction in which the Financed Items are located and in every other jurisdiction where failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement, the Note or the Contract Documents. Debtor's exact legal name is set forth in the first paragraph on page 1 of this Agreement and on the signature page hereof.
2. The information set forth on the Specification and on each and every schedule and exhibit attached thereto and in each Contract Document and in the notice of assignment delivered by Debtor to Secured Party in connection with the Specification (the "Notice of Assignment") is true, correct, and complete in all material respects.
3. The Financed Items are leased or, as applicable, financed to Customer pursuant to the Contract. Except for (i) the security interest granted hereby, and (ii) each Customer's rights under the applicable Contract, Debtor has title to (or a first priority perfected security interest in) the Equipment and sole title to the Contract Documents, the payments due and to become due thereunder (the "Payments") and the other Collateral, free and clear of (or superior to) all liens and encumbrances. Debtor will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of any Person at any time claiming the same or any interest therein which claims or demands Secured Party deems adverse to its interests.
4. Except as set forth in the Specification, Customer has not made any advance Payments or delivered any security deposits under the Contract.
5. Debtor's execution of this Agreement, the Note and the Contract Documents and each Obliger's execution of the Contract Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action and create binding obligations of such Persons as stated therein, whether signed manually or electronically. Each of this Agreement, the Note and the Contract Documents are in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights in general.
(00060045.DOCX 1} Stonebriar Master Non-Recourse Security Agreement and Assignment Insight Legal Approved - 3/21/22
249 6. The entering into and performance by Debtor of the Agreement, the Note and the Contract Documents will not violate any provision of Debtor's organizational documents, or any applicable judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule, law or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority applicable to Debtor, or result In any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon the Collateral or any Contract Documents pursuant to any Indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, contract, bank loan or credit (other than the security Interest granted to Secured Party hereunder).
7. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of or by, any state, Federal or other governmental authority or agency or commission is required with respect to the execution or performance by Debtor of this Agreement, the Note or any Contract Document. No consent or approval of, or giving of notice to, any other Person (other than consents that have been obtained and notices given, true and complete copies of which consents and/or notices have been delivered to Secured Party) is required with respect to the assignment by Debtor of any interest in any Collateral to Secured Party.
8. Debtor has satisfied all judgments and is not in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule, or regulation of any court, arbitrator, or federal, state, municipal, or other governmental authority, commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality, domestic or foreign that would have an material adverse effect upon Secured Party's rights under this Agreement or the Note, Secured Party's interests in the Collateral or Debtor's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the Contract Documents. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to Debtor's knowledge, threatened against or affecting Debtor before or by any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority which brings into question the validity of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Note or the Contract Documents or which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Debtor or the ability of Debtor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the Contract Documents. Debtor will promptly notify Secured Party of any such action, suit or proceeding promptly after the commencement thereof.
9. Debtor is in material compliance with all statutes, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations to which it is subject and has not and shall not fail to obtain any licenses, permits, franchises, or other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of its properties or to the conduct of its business, which violation or failure to obtain would adversely affect the business, prospects, profits, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) of Debtor, Debtor's ability to perform the Obligations or the security interest, liens or rights of Secured Party in the Collateral. Debtor has filed and shall continue to file when due (subject to any permitted extension) all tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed and has paid (and shall continue to pay when due) all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges and levies thereon due, including interest and penalties. The transaction set forth in the Contract Documents conforms to all applicable laws and regulations.
10. The Financed Items have been delivered, Installed, as applicable, and Irrevocably accepted by Customer under the terms of the Contract and are and shall be kept at the location(s) designated In the Contract, where Secured Party may inspect them at any reasonable time as limited by the Contract. Debtor will not remove any Financed Items from said location without the prior written consent of Secured Party nor permit any such removal except as permitted by the Contract.
