By enrolling for IBC Bank Online, you consent to stop mail delivery of your paper account statement and receive estatements and other electronic disclosures regarding your account. IBC requires estatements and electronic disclosures to have access to IBC Bank Online. If you ever decide to withdraw your consent to estatements and electronic disclosures, then IBC will automatically terminate your IBC Bank Online Services. International Bank of Commerce/Commerce Bank ("IBC Bank") will send an email reminder to the email address you provided when your statement becomes available online. You can change the email address for the statement reminder anytime by selecting Update Profile on the e-Statement page within IBC Bank Online. Each account statement and any legal notice about your account and copies of the related items (if you receive them now) will remain available online for at least 18 months. You may also print the statements or download them to your system. There is no charge for this service. If you receive a combined statement for your accounts, once you select to view any of these account statements online, all other referenced, related, or linked accounts will be available only online.

To view account statements and other electronic disclosures online, you only need the hardware and software you use for IBC Bank Online, as stated in Section 4. Your statements and other electronic disclosures will be provided in two formats: an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file and a Portable Network Graphic (PNG) file. It would be best to have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 8 or higher) to access and retain a PDF file.

You consent to the electronic delivery of your periodic account statements, all related terms, and all notices (including any modifications in the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement and Schedule of Fees), which are included with the paper statements or otherwise generally mailed to you. You agree that posting the notices and modifications online has the same effect as sending them to you. Your paper account statement may be delivered for one statement cycle after today, and you will no longer receive a paper copy delivered by mail. Images of any checks and other items you receive will be included in your online account statement. You may also request a paper copy of any statement by contacting Online Banking Customer Service.

You understand that to use Bank Online Services, you need a computer or mobile device with access to the Internet. You must first obtain access to the Internet with compatible hardware, software, and web browser. Bank requires you to use a web browser that supports adequate security measures, including SSL encryption technology or additional security measures as Bank may need, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 10 and above or the most current version of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Bank also requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or newer to access PDF documents. Obtaining and maintaining adequate Internet access is your responsibility, and you are solely responsible for all Internet Service Provider ("ISP") fees and costs. You understand that the Bank is not responsible for any computer virus or related problems associated with your use of the Internet in general or using IBC Bank Online services via the Internet.

We may send messages relating to the Bank Online Services to the e-mail address on file and notify you that responses to your payment or customer service inquiries are available or as otherwise described in any applicable agreements governing the Bank Online Services. The bank will not, however, include any account numbers, Access Codes, or similar non-public personal information in any e-mail response to you. If, for any reason, your e-mail address changes or becomes disabled, it is your responsibility to contact the bank immediately so that we can continue to provide you with automated messages.

To provide the highest level of confidentiality and security, we require browsers that provide encryption using a 128-bit key. The higher the level of encryption, the harder it is for unauthorized persons to read information. Major browser suppliers (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.) support 128-bit encryption versions available for download from their Websites without charge. The encryption level may be called cipher strength or refer to cryptography.

You understand that security procedures implemented by the Bank are to verify the authenticity of the instructions transmitted to the Bank by you ("Instructions") and not to detect errors in such Instructions, and the Bank shall not be liable for any failure to see the mistakes in any Instruction. Such security procedures include (i) a unique file identification number and transmission password and (ii) encryption. You agree that this procedure constitutes a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized Instructions. You agree to be bound by any Instruction issued by you and received and verified by the Bank per such security procedure. You shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against any loss suffered or liability incurred by, or arising from, the execution of Instructions in good faith and compliance with security procedures.

You represent that you are the legal owner of the accounts linked to the Bank Online Services and that all the information you provide to us in connection with the Bank Online Services, including your e-mail and contact information, is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have the right to provide such information to us for using the Bank Online Services.

Authorization to enroll requires an IBC Account Number and specific qualifying information.

To use IBC Bank Online, you must use the User ID and Password ("Access Codes") we establish or provide. Access Codes will be delivered via phone, SMS, text, or email. Keep them confidential to prevent unauthorized use or loss of your accounts.

Additionally, that person will have full access to any of your accounts accessed by those Access Codes, even if those accounts are in your name with another person.

None of our employees or affiliates' employees will contact you via phone or email requesting your Access Codes. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, do not release your information. Contact IBC Bank immediately in person or by telephone. Following successful enrollment, the Bank will identify and allow you online access to any other qualifying account(s) "tied" to the authorized enrollment confirmation. The tied accounts and loans make up your IBC Bank Online Profile. You can turn off displaying any specific account(s) in your IBC Bank Online profile. You can also add any accounts not included in your IBC Bank Online Profile. This requires you to be an Authorized Signatory on the added account(s). Qualified accounts may be added to your profile at any time. Information access to added accounts will be available immediately. The request to add an account must be in writing and submitted to any IBC/Commerce Bank Branch.

Upon successful authentication to IBC Bank Online, you will have already selected a User ID and Password that will allow you to access your account information. Use of the User ID and Password will indicate your acceptance of this Agreement to the Bank. You agree to protect your User ID and Password from unauthorized use by not divulging the User ID or Password to anyone or in any way allowing the User ID or Password to be obtained by someone. You may not be able to retrieve your Password based on specific activities. If you are unable to recover your Password and you have recurring bill payments set up, you must contact Online Banking Support to have the bill payments canceled. If you cannot recover your Password, you may be required to re-enroll, and any information stored in your IBC Bank Online Profile (such as Bill Pay information, messages, etc.) may be lost.

We reserve the right, under certain circumstances, to deny access to any one or more or all deposit and loan accounts or Bank Online Services or to deny the processing of transactions to maintain or restore security to our Website and systems. We may also do so if we reasonably believe your Access Codes have been or may be obtained or are being used or may be used by an unauthorized person(s). You should not use email to communicate to ask questions about your account(s) or maintenance and problem resolution issues or to give comments regarding your satisfaction with IBC Bank Online. Email is not a secure method of communicating over the Internet, and we recommend not sending confidential information by email. We recommend shipping all such communication via the specific "Messages" feature available within IBC Bank Online. We also do not recommend using email to communicate matters requiring immediate attention, as delivery of such correspondence may be lost or delayed. You should communicate matters requiring the Bank's close attention in person or by telephone.

You cannot use email to initiate transactions on your account(s). For banking transactions, you must use the appropriate Bank Online Services or call a convenient bank location.

Funds that are deposited using Bank's MRDC Services will not be deemed "received" by us until we have received an electronic image that meets all of the requirements for deposits (including all requirements to create a Substitute Check) stated in this Agreement and in any Documentation and we have received payment in actually and finally collected funds. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay items and transactions drawn on your account.

We will also attempt to tell you when the funds will be available. If you will need the funds from a deposit via the MRDC Services, you should contact us to inquire when the funds will be available.  In addition, funds you deposit via the MRDC Service may be delayed for a longer period for a variety of additional reasons as determined in Bank's sole discretion, including, but not limited to: • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid  • We believe a check you deposit is a duplicate image  • You deposit checks totaling more than any applicable per item limit, daily dollar amount limit, monthly item limit or any other limitations on your Services that Bank may impose  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months  • There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment  • We exercise our rights to investigate any unusual or suspicious MRDC items as determined in Bank's sole discretion  12.5.7 Customer Representation and Agreements; Indemnity.

In addition to the provisions contained in the Agreement, liability shall not exceed the sum of the amount of any loss suffered by the customer as a result of a breach of warranties under Regulation CC (12 CFR Part 229) up to the amount of any substitute check, interest and expenses (including cost and reasonable attorney fees and other expenses of presentation) related to the substitute check reduced by any amount the customer receives and retains as a re-credit. Furthermore, such liability shall be further reduced by the amount of any damages incurred as a result of the negligence or bad faith of the customer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Bank shall be excused from failing to act or delay in acting if such failure or delay is caused by legal constraint, interruption of transmission of communication facilities, equipment failure, war, emergency conditions, or other circumstances beyond Bank's control.  In addition, Bank shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting a deposit if such transmittal would result in Bank having exceeded any limitation upon its intra-day net funds position established pursuant to present or future Federal Reserve guidelines or in Bank's reasonable judgment otherwise violating any provision of any present or future risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority. In such event, customer shall be responsible for having a contingency plan in place including temporarily depositing original, paper items at any branch facility of Bank.  Subject to the foregoing limitations, Bank's liability for loss of interest resulting from its error or delay shall be calculated by using a rate equal to the average Federal Funds rate at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas for the period involved. At Bank's option, payment of such interest may be made by crediting the account resulting from or arising out of any claim of any person that Bank is responsible for any act or omission of customer or any other person described in the foregoing Agreement.  12.6 Customer Responsibilities. Customer will maintain at least one or more accounts at Bank eligible for the transactions conducted via the Services, including receiving MRDC deposits.

However, neither the Service Provider nor IBC will be liable:  • If, through no fault of Bank, you do not have adequate money in the account to complete the transaction as instructed, or if account has been closed or has become dormant,  • If you close a payment account and do not identify a new payment account,  • If you have not properly followed software or procedural instructions on how to make a transfer,  • If you have not given complete, correct and current instructions so that a transfer can be made,  • If you do not authorize a bill payment soon enough for your payment to be made and properly credited by the payee by the time it is due,  • If the transfer or payment would go over the credit limit on your credit line and/or exceed any availability of your overdraft courtesy,  • If a timely bill payment is made but the payee nevertheless does not receive the payment or does not credit your payment promptly after receipt,  • If there is a hold on your account, or if access to your account is blocked, in accordance with banking policy,  • If withdrawals from your account have been prohibited by a court order, such as a garnishment, levy or other legal process which prevents Bank from making a transfer,  • If Bank or our agent reasonably believe that a transaction may be unauthorized and based thereon the transaction is not completed,  • If Bank's or Bank's agents' equipment and/or software were not working properly or were temporarily unavailable when you attempted to authorize a transfer or bill payment and this situation should have been apparent to you when you attempted the payment or transfer, or  • If circumstances beyond Bank or Bank's agent's control prevent making the transfer or payment, despite reasonable precautions that have been taken. Such circumstances include but are not limited to computer failure, telecommunication outages, delays caused by payees, strikes or delays and other labor or civil unrest, fires, floods, and other natural or man - made disasters.  You acknowledge that there are alternative methods for accessing the information and conducting the transactions provided by these Online Services, such as IBC Voice, deposits at any IBC Bank location, or payment by check.

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe an unauthorized transaction may be conducted from your account(s), if you believe another person has improperly obtained your User ID and Password, if you believe someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without authorization, or you suspect fraudulent activity on your account. If you have any such activity to report, you should contact Bank in person or by telephone. We will have no liability to you for any unauthorized transactions made using your Access Codes or security procedures that occur before you have notified us and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice, except as otherwise provided for below.  You agree to cooperate with us in connection with our incident response investigation in a timely manner and to provide any information requested by us promptly following our request.   If your User ID and Password have been lost or stolen, someone has attempted to use your IBC Bank Online information without your consent, your accounts have been accessed, you have reason to believe someone has your User ID and Password information or someone has transferred money without your permission, you must notify us immediately. When you give someone your User ID and password, you are authorizing that person to use your Banking Online Services, including any IBC Mobile Banking Services, and you are responsible for all transactions that person performs while using your Banking Online Services and IBC Mobile Banking Services.

However, you can lose as much as $500.00 if you do not notify us within two business days of discovering the unauthorized use and we can prove that we could have stopped the unauthorized use had we been notified.  If you do not report unauthorized transactions that appear on any of your periodic statements within 60 days after such statements are mailed or electronically transmitted to you, you risk unlimited losses on transactions made after the sixty (60) day period if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use had we been notified within the sixty (60) day period. 16.3 Business Liability. The terms in this sub-section only apply to business accounts/transactions. You agree to notify Bank immediately if you discover any error, omission, or discrepancy between your records and the information Bank provides to you about your Accounts or transactions (e.g., in a statement, confirmation, or electronic report produced through any Service, each such statement, confirmation or report, a "Statement"), any altered or unauthorized checks or any failed, erroneous, fraudulent or unauthorized transactions involving any Account (collectively, "Errors"). You understand that the nature of certain transactions and applicable laws relating to certain Services require that you provide Timely Notice (defined below) of an Error in order to preserve or exercise rights against third parties that may have been the beneficiary of such Error.  If you fail to provide Timely Notice to Bank of any Error, then you shall be precluded from asserting such Error against Bank.  "Timely Notice" is defined as notice provided to Bank: (i) on the same business day with respect to any Payment Order (as defined in the UCC), (ii) the next business day for other electronic funds transfers, (iii) within thirty (30) days for any other transaction or Service (including Errors involving checks), or (iv) within ninety (90) days in the case of fees, following the date on which such information is sent by Bank or otherwise made available to you.  You agree that Bank will not be liable for any damages or losses, including loss of interest, which result from your failure to give Bank Timely Notice of an Error or which might have been prevented by you giving Bank Timely Notice of an Error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank reserves the right in its sole discretion to adjust transaction records for good cause after the expiration of the Timely Notice time periods. The Timely Notice requirement does not apply with respect to any attempt by you or by Bank on your behalf to seek recovery or other recourse for an Error against other banks, clearing organizations, or other persons, none of which are parties to or beneficiaries of this Agreement.

(e) 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 the Bank that is primarily for personal, family or household purposes. BUSINESS DISPUTE means any DISPUTE that is not a CONSUMER DISPUTE. (f) PARTIES or PARTY. As used in these Arbitration Provisions, the term PARTIES or PARTY means the Bank, Depositor and each Authorized Signatory, and each and all persons and entities signing this Agreement 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 the Bank and shall include any other owner and holder of this Agreement. Throughout these Arbitration Provisions, the term you and your refer to Depositor and each Authorized Signatory, and the term Arbitrator refers to the individual arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, as the case may be, before which the DISPUTE is arbitrated. 

 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). (h) CLASS ACTION WAIVER. The PARTIES agree that (i) 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 (ii) 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 BUSINESS DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. I. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND TEXAS LAW. The PARTIES acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern (i) the interpretation and enforcement of these Arbitration Provisions, and (ii) 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 YOU RESIDE OR WHERE THE DISPUTE AROSE, UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW.  II. Provisions applicable only to a CONSUMER DISPUTE: (a) 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 Associations 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. (b) Instead of proceeding in arbitration, any PARTY hereto may pursue its claim in your local small claims court, if the CONSUMER DISPUTE meets the small claims courts 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. (c) For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $2,500, the Bank will pay all arbitration fees and costs provided you 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, the Bank also agrees to pay your reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses your attorney charges you in connection with the arbitration (even if the Arbitrator does not award those to you) plus an additional $2,500 if you obtain a favorable arbitration award for your actual damages which is greater than any written settlement offer for your actual damages made by the Bank to you prior to the selection of the Arbitrator. (d) Under the AAAs Supplemental Procedures for Consumer Disputes, if your claim for actual damages does not exceed $10,000, you shall only be responsible for paying up to a maximum of $125 in arbitration fees and costs. If your claim for actual damages exceeds $10,000 but does not exceed $75,000, you 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, the Bank will pay all other arbitrators 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, the Bank agrees to pay all arbitration fees and costs you 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 you submit your claim shall apply. The AAA rules also permit you to request a waiver or deferral of the administrative fees and costs of arbitration if paying them would cause you financial hardship.  (e) Although under some laws, the Bank may have a right to an award of attorneys fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration, the Bank 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.  (f) To request information on how to submit an arbitration claim, or to request a copy of the AAA rules or fee schedule, you may contact the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 (toll free) or at www.adr.org.  III. Provisions applicable only to a BUSINESS DISPUTE: (a) 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 attorneys 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 you extreme financial hardship you may request that AAA defer or reduce the administrative fees or request the Bank to cover some of the arbitration fees and costs that would be your responsibility. (b) The PARTIES shall have the right to (i) 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 (ii) 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 selfhelp remedies. Use of self-help or ancillary and/or provisional judicial remedies shall not operate as a waiver of either PARTYs 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. (c) 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 (i) punitive, exemplary, special or indirect damages, (ii) statutory multiple damages, or (iii) penalties, statutory or otherwise. (d) The Arbitrator may award attorneys 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 attorneys fees for fourteen (14) days after entry of the decision. IV. General provisions applicable to both CONSUMER DISPUTES and BUSINESS DISPUTES: (a) 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 (i) all arbitrability questions, and (ii) 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).  (b) These Arbitration Provisions shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement, unless all of the PARTIES otherwise expressly agree in writing. (c) 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 PARTYS 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 PARTYS 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 PARTYS receipt of service of the counterclaim, cross-claim or third party claim shall be deemed a waiver of such PARTYS 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 PARTYS right to compel arbitration. All discovery obtained in the pending litigation may be used in any subsequent arbitration proceeding. (d) 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.  (e) Any Arbitrator selected shall be knowledgeable in the subject matter of the DISPUTE and be licensed to practice law.  (f) 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.  (g) 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. (h) The PARTIES agree that the Arbitrator shall be required to allow, consider and rule on a dispositive motion filed by any PARTY. (i) 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. (j) 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. (k) 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. (l) Unless the PARTIES mutually agree to hold the binding arbitration proceeding elsewhere, venue of any arbitration proceeding under these Arbitration Provisions shall be (i) for all Texas accounts, in the Texas county where the account was opened, and (ii) for all Oklahoma accounts, in the Oklahoma county where the account was opened. (m) 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.
