Except as otherwise specified below, all actions, disputes, claims and controversies under common law, statutory law or in equity of any type or nature whatsoever, whether arising before or after the date of this Agreement, and whether directly or indirectly arising from or relating to: (a) this Agreement and/or any amendments and addenda hereto, or the breach, invalidity or termination hereof; (b) any previous or subsequent agreement between Lender and Dealer; (c) any act committed by Lender or by any parent company, subsidiary or affiliated company of Lender (the “Lender Companies”), or by any employee, agent, officer or director of a Lender Company, whether or not arising within the scope and course of employment or other contractual representation of the Lender Companies, provided that such act arises under a relationship, transaction or dealing between Lender and Dealer; and/or (d) any other relationship, transaction or dealing between Lender and Dealer (collectively the “Disputes”), will be subject to and resolved by binding arbitration.

Moreover, the parties agree that either party may pursue individual claims against the other that do not exceed Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) in the aggregate through litigation as set forth hereafter. Service of arbitration claims, arbitration pleadings and confirmation pleadings or motions shall be effective if made by U.S. mail or overnight delivery to the address for the party described herein.

The parties also agree that service on a party’s registered agent in the state where the party is organized is proper and effective service on that party.

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

Dispute resolution to resolve any repurchase request will be available regardless of whether the Noteholders vote to direct an Asset Representations Review. (b) The Requesting Party will provide notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of its intention to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding arbitration, as applicable, to the Bank, with a copy to FTH LLC, the Issuer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

Such Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS in accordance with the provisions of JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as in effect at the time of the arbitration. B. Such arbitration shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, with one arbitrator to be appointed by each party and the third to be appointed by the two (2) arbitrators so appointed. C.

F. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof and enforcement of the award may be sought in any manner permitted by applicable law. G. Expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such binding arbitration shall be the obligation of and paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses. The parties shall share equally all expenses of JAMS (including those of the arbitrators) incurred in connection with any arbitration.
Binding Arbitration is a method of dispute resolution where an impartial third party, known as the arbitrator, makes a decision to resolve a conflict between two parties. The key feature of binding arbitration is that the decision of the arbitrator is final and legally binding on both parties, with very limited scope for appeal. It is often used as an alternative to going to court.
