This Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this
____ day of _______________, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) by __________________________________ (the
“Receiving Party”), whose address for notice is ________________________________________________,
for the benefit of City Bank (“Bank”).
WHEREAS, Bank and the Receiving Party intend to enter into discussions concerning the
negotiations of a possible sale of real estate (the “Property”) that is presently owned by City Bank and which
was acquired by virtue of a foreclosure sale from the prior owner, Hills of Lake Medina, L.P., which is located
in Medina County, Texas and on which City Bank formerly held the promissory note, deed of trust and liens
against said Property;
WHEREAS, City Bank has owned the Property since foreclosure on May 4, 2010, but has not actively
developed the Property, any active development on the Property having occurred prior to City Bank’s
ownership and which had been performed by City Bank’s predecessor, Hills of Lake Medina, L.P.; and
WHEREAS, in connection with these discussions, Receiving Party has requested Bank to disclose
certain confidential information and materials to the Receiving Party in order that the Receiving Party may
evaluate a potential purchase (the “Purpose”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Receiving Party, the Receiving
Party agrees to the following in order to induce City Bank to provide information to Receiving Party:
1.
As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any and all information provided to Receiving
Party by Bank or any of its affiliated, parent, subsidiary, or related entities, including but not limited to City
Bank Texas and City Bank New Mexico, whether or not labeled confidential, including, but not limited to, (i)
any information provided by or relating to any of Bank’s customers, former customers, applicants, and
prospective customers, including but not limited to all customer files and information, (ii) information about
the bank’s owned real estate, including information obtained from its prior borrower concerning the Property
that is the subject of the possible real estate sales transaction being considered between City Bank and the
Receiving Party, including but not limited to all draws, environmental studies, legal descriptions, and other
documents pertaining to the Property and (iii) information (whether in written, oral, electronic or graphic form)
concerning Bank’s business, transactions, contracts, operations, products, services, costs, strategies, financial
data, marketing plans, policies, plans, procedures and other non-public matters, that is disclosed to the
Receiving Party by Bank pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall be construed as an
obligation of City Bank to provide or furnish any information, confidential or otherwise, to the Receiving
Party. Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that City Bank shall have the sole authority to decide what
information to provide to Receiving Party, and all such information provided by City Bank shall be deemed
confidential hereunder.
2.
The Receiving Party shall hold the Confidential Information in confidence and take all necessary
precautions to protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to any third party, except for disclosure to
a third party: (i) as may be required in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body or that
is otherwise required by law (but only to the extent of such order or requirement and provided that the
Receiving Party gives Bank reasonable prior notice of any disclosure to be made pursuant to such order or
requirement and cooperates with the efforts of Bank to obtain a protective order or other assurance of
confidential treatment of any Confidential Information to be disclosed pursuant to such order or requirement),
(ii) constituting an employee, director, partner, member, manager, officer or advisor to the Receiving Party and
then on a need-to-know basis only, or (iii) as may be approved by Bank in writing.
3.
The Receiving Party shall not use, directly or indirectly, any of the Confidential Information for the
benefit of the Receiving Party or for the benefit of another, other than for the Purpose set forth in this
Agreement.
4.
The Receiving Party’s obligations of confidentiality hereunder will terminate if and when the
Receiving Party can document that such Confidential Information: (i) was already known by the Receiving
Party at the time of disclosure by Bank, (ii) was disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had the
right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions, (iii) was, or without the Receiving
Party’s violation of the terms of Section 2 hereof has become, generally available to the public, or (iv) was
independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to, or use of, the Confidential Information.
5.
The Receiving Party will not copy or reproduce Confidential Information in any form except as
permitted under this Agreement. All Confidential Information shall be returned to the Bank or destroyed upon
the earlier of (i) the request of Bank, or (ii) upon completion of the Purpose for which the Confidential
Information was disclosed in the first place.
6.
The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that any breach or violation of this Agreement will
result in immediate and irreparable injury and harm to Bank and will cause damage to Bank in amounts
difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of any
of the provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees that Bank, in addition to and not in limitation
of any other rights, remedies or damages available to Bank at law or in equity, shall be entitled to a preliminary
and a permanent injunction in order to prevent or restrain any such further breach by the Receiving Party or
any of its directors, partners, members, managers, officers, advisors or persons, directly or indirectly, acting for
or with the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the remedies contained in this
Section 6 are reasonably related to the injuries Bank may sustain as a result of the Receiving Party’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement, and are not a penalty. It is further understood and agreed that no failure
or delay by Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder. Bank will be entitled to be indemnified, defended and held harmless by
the Receiving Party from any loss or harm, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, in connection with
any breach or enforcement of the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder or the unauthorized use or release of
any Confidential Information.
7.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by a court or other tribunal of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions will be limited or eliminated to the
minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect. This
Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and writings, and constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No waiver or modification of this Agreement will be binding
upon either party unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such party.
8.
The Receiving Party may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Bank. The
obligations of the Receiving Party shall be binding upon its successors and assigns.
9.
As additional consideration for this Agreement and for access to the receipt of Confidential
Information, Receiving Party acknowledges, understands and agrees that City Bank acquired the real estate to
which it may provide Confidential Information, through a foreclosure sale, and therefore City Bank has limited
knowledge concerning the condition of the Property in question. City Bank will disclaim, and hereby
disclaims, any warranty, guaranty or representation, oral or written that will be made in the past, present or
future concerning the (A) nature and condition of the Property, including without limitation, the condition of
any building or improvements, any boundary encroachments, boundary disputes, the water or soil, the
suitability of the property for ownership and/or use for any purpose or the ownership of any buildings or other
improvements, if any, for any use or purpose to which the receiving party may ultimately conduct on the
property; (B) the nature and extent of any right of way, lease, possession, lien, encumbrance, license,
reservation, condition or otherwise, and (C) the compliance of the Property with any laws, ordinances or
regulations of any government body.
Furthermore, the Receiving Party acknowledges that the information provided by City Bank pursuant to this
Agreement, or provided in any offering circular or marketing materials, was obtained from a variety of
sources, including City Bank’s prior borrower or public records, and that City Bank has not and shall not make
an independent verification of the information to be provided nor does City Bank make any representations
concerning the accuracy or completeness of the information. Receiving Party shall be given access to these
records to perform its own due diligence concerning the possibility of entering into a contract to purchase said
Property, but in doing so, Receiving Party shall be responsible for and hereby assumes all obligations for
inspecting the Property on its own, and will rely solely on its own inspection of the Property and on its own
review, due diligence and investigation of the information to be provided to the Receiving Party by City Bank.
Any sale of the Property shall be made on an “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” basis. NO
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, TITLE (OTHER THAN
THE SPECIAL WARRANTY OF TITLE WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY TO BE SOLD),
HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF SHALL BE MADE.
10.
All notices required under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be by personal delivery,
electronic mail, facsimile transmission or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and will be
deemed given upon personal delivery, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, or upon acknowledgment of
receipt of electronic transmission. Notices shall be sent to City Bank at: City Bank, Attn: Morris Wilcox, 5219
