10 TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT: NOW COMES, Appellants City of White Settlement, Texas ("White Settlement") and White Settlement Economic Development Corporation ("White Settlement EDC") (collectively the "City") and submit their appellants' brief in the above-styled and -numbered appeal and respectfully show: STATEMENT OF THE CASE Nature of the Case: 1. The City sued two residents of state of Georgia: (1) Benjamin S. Emmons ("Emmons") and Source Capital, LLC ("Source Capital") in the 48th District Court in Tarrant County.l The City asserts that the trial court incorrectly granted both Emmons' and Source Capital's Special Appearances. 2. This case involves a water park which was built and located in White Settlement.2 The City contends that Emmons and Source Capital breached a contract with the City and made numerous representations that were either fraudulent or negligent while in Texas.3 The contract and representations relate to the operations 1 CR CR la. APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 8

11 of the water park. The City also contends that Emmons caused equipment and arcade games to be removed from the water park and sold despite being owned by the City.4 Course of Proceedings: 3. This case was initiated on October 27, On February 23, 2017, Emmons and Source Capital filed their First Amended Verified Special Appearance alleging that the trial court did not have jurisdiction as Emmons was not a resident of Texas and Source Capital was principally located in Atlanta, Georgia.6 Appellants filed their First Amended Petition on April 7, 2017 and their Second Amended Petition on May 5, Appellants filed their original response to the Special Appearance on May 8, An amended response was filed by Appellants on August 30, Emmons and Source Capital filed an amended reply on 4 CR CR CR ~ CR CR CR to CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 9

13 STATEMENT OF ISSUES PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Issue l: The trial court erred in granting Emmons and Source Capital's First Amended Verified Special Appearance STATEMENT OF FACTS AND BACKGROUND 1. Source Capital is a private equity firm which makes both equity and debt investments in businesses which span over a wide range of industries. 16 Emmons was and is a partner and a Managing Director of Source Capital.l~ Beginning in 2013, Source Capital caused the Source Capital Lenderslg to make a $3.5 million loan to Horizon Family Holdings, LCC ("Horizon").19 Horizon is a Missouri based holding company but does business in the state of Texas.20 Prior to receiving the loan from Source Capital, Horizon had obtained a loan from Capital One Bank in Fort Worth The loan made by the Source Capital Lenders was to be repaid from the 16 CR 289. l~ CR Source Capital Lenders are various investment funds which are pooled together. 19 CR CR 289, CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 11

14 operations of Horizon's seven waterparks in Texas (the "Seven Water Parks"). 22 Emmons was directly involved in the negotiation of the $3.5 million dollar loan and made numerous visits to Texas and regularly communicated with individuals in Texas concerning the loan and the Seven Water Parks.23 Each of the water parks was owned by a different city in the State of Texas: White Settlement, Waco, Garland, Pflugerville, Roanoke, The Colony, and Mansfield (the "Seven Cities").2`~ Horizon had a long term lease with each City with each of the Seven Cities.25 Matthew Smith, the Vice President of Source Capital, was also directly involved and frequently communicated with individuals in Texas and made numerous visits to Texas Construction began on the waterpark in White Settlement in The City entered into both a Construction Agreement and Lease and Operating Agreement with Hawaiian-Parks White Settlement, LLC ("HParks").28 HParks is ZZ CR CR z4 CR zs CR CR Z~ CR CR 290.

The City provided $12,500,000 in funding for the construction of the water park in White Settlement which was to be paid back through semi-annual lease payments.31 Despite some setbacks, the water park at White Settlement opened on or about May 24, Unfortunately, by late 2014, HParks went into default on White Settlement's Lease and Operating Agreement.33 Horizon also went into default on its loans with Source Capita1.34 Due to these defaults, many of the Seven Cities, including the City, threatened to terminate their leases.35 If the leases were terminated, Source Capital would not be able to obtain repayment of their original $3.5 million loan CR o CR CR CR CR `~ CR s CR CR 292. APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 13

16 5. In an attempt to ensure that Source Capital was paid back for the $3.5 million dollar loan, Emmons, representing Source Capital, negotiated a workout agreement with Capital One Bank as well as the. Seven Cities who owned the Seven Water Parks (the"workout Agreement").37 Capital One Bank was Horizon's senior lender and Source Capital's loan was subordinate to the Capital One Bank loan The principle features of the Workout Agreement are as follows: a. Capital One Bank would enter into a forbearance agreement whereby the Bank would refrain from foreclosing before the end of 2015; b. Source Capital would advance an additional 5 million dollars to pay past due rents due on the waterpark leases and to operate the Seven Water Parks through the end of 2015; c. Source Capital would refinance the debt of Horizon by the end of 2015 or sell the parks and pay off the debts of Horizon From late 2014 through May 2015, Emmons and Source Capital were 37 CR. 293; Appendix Tab 2. 3g CR Appendix Tab 2. APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 14

17 attempting to persuade the Seven Cities to agree to the Workout Agreement. 4o During this time period, Emmons initiated and participated in many telephone conversations with representatives of Capital One Bank, Horizon and the Seven Cities.41 Emmons also made numerous visits to the State of Texas to meet with representatives ofcapital One Bank, Horizon as well as officials at the City of White Settlement The Workout Agreement was only possible if the Seven Cities would agree to changes in the debt structure and agree to defer their ability to exercise the rights and remedies under the Lease and Operating Agreements even though their Lease and Operating Agreements were in default.43 The willingness of the Seven Cities to forebear exercising their rights generated by Horizon's default was key to the success of the Workout Agreement.4`~ 9. In early 2015, Emmons met with White Settlement officials to discuss `~0 CR. 294 `~1 CR CR CR CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 15

18 the Workout Agreement.45 This meeting occurred in White Settlement, Texas.`~6 At this meeting, Emmons sought the City's approval of a Consent to Mortgage of Leasehold of the Park (the "Mortgage Consent").47 Emmons represented to the City that this Mortgage Consent would benefit the City and that Capital One Bank would only extend its lending transaction if the Mortgage Consent was signed by the City In addition to the Mortgage Consent, at the meeting Emmons requested that the City agree to a Consent to a future Change of Ownership (the "Ownership Consent").49 This Ownership Consent would allow for the transfer of ownership from Horizon to Source Horizon, LLC which is a Georgia limited liability company that is affiliated with Source Capital.50 Emmons represented that Source Capital would inject up to $5,000,000 into Horizon for the benefit of the Seven Water Parks and that this cash injection, together with an additional cash injection of $1,000,000 by Source Capital and Capital One Bank, would ensure that Horizon could resolve 4s CR CR `~~ CR CR `~9 CR so CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 16

19 all of its 2014 hold-over obligations and handle its 2015 commitments including the $600,000 rent payment which was due to the City in October x1 11. As the City did not timely and fully receive the first and second lease payments, the City was concerned about HParks' financial health and viability. 52 The City had no reason to agree to the Mortgage Consent or Ownership Consent unless the cash infusions were made by Source Capital and would benefit the City. s3 At the meeting in White Settlement, Emmons specifically represented to the City that if the Mortgage Consent was given by the City, the October 1, 2015 lease payment to the City would be paid.5`~ This representation was material and was relied upon by the City. Based on these representations by Emmons and Source Capital, the City agreed to the Mortgage Consent and Ownership Consent.ss 12. After the Mortgage Consent and Ownership Consent were agreed to the City, Emmons' representations proved to be untrue as Emmons and Source Capital sl CR CR s3 CR `~ CR ss CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 17

20 determined that the water park in White Settlement was not financially viable.56 AS such, Emmons and Source Capital engaged in the following activities which reduced the financial commitment to the water park: a. Only 3.7 million of the 5 million promised was advanced for the debt service and operation of the Seven Water Parks; b. All of the Seven Water Parks' rent payments through 2015 were paid except for White Settlement; the $600,000 rental payment was purposefully not paid; c. $300,000 in operating income generated at White Settlement was diverted to support the other six water parks in Texas; d. No efforts were made to maintain the White Settlement water park; e. Efforts to pay outstanding vendor indebtedness were delayed or halted, resulting in mechanic's liens; f. Adequate insurance was not maintained at the water park; and g. Emmons caused the arcade games and other equipment owned by White Settlement from the park to be removed from the water park. The s6 CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 18

21 arcade games and equipment were valued at over $276, When it became clear that the City would not receive the $600,000 lease payment, the City terminated the Lease and Operating Agreement.58 This lawsuit was then brought against Emmons and Source Capital as well as HParks and Clinton Hill for various causes of actions relating to the facts and circumstances outlined above.59 Specifically, the City brought suit against Emmons for conversion and violation of the Texas Theft Liability Act, and both Emmons and Source Capital for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and promissory estoppel. 6o SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT The trial court erred in granting Emmons and Source Capital's First Amended Verified Special Appearance because both Emmons and Source Capital had purposeful contacts with the State of Texas to give rise to personal jurisdiction. The City provided the trial court with adequate evidence of the quality and quantity of the purposeful contacts, which directly relate to the claims in this case. None of these 57 CR ss CR. 298: s9 See CR o CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 19

22 contacts were legally or factually negated by either Emmons or Source Capital. Therefore, it was impermissible for the trial court to grant Emmons' and Source Capital's Special Appearance. ARGUMENT &AUTHORITIES Issue No. 1: The trial court e~~ed in granting Emmons and Source Capital's Fist Amended Verified Special Appearance A. Standard of review 1. The granting of a special appearance is reviewed de novo. Moki Mac River Expeditions v. Drugg, 221 S.W.3d 569, 574 (Tex. 2007). The court may draw factual allegations from the plaintiff's petition and any response opposing the special appearance. See Flanagan v. Royal Body Calve, Inc., 232 S.W.3d 367, 374 (Tex.App.- Dallas 2007, pet denied). The plaintiff has the initial burden of sufficiently pleading facts to confer jurisdiction. Retamco Operating Inc., v. Republic Drilling Co., 278 S.W.3d 333, 357 (Tex. 2009). "This minimal pleading requirement is satisfied by an allegation that the nonresident defendant is doing business in Texas." Norst~ud v. Cicur, 2015 WL at *2 (Tex.App. Fort Worth, no pet.). 2. The nonresident defendant is then able to negate jurisdiction on either a factual or legal basis. Kelly v. Gen. Interior Const~., Inc., 301 S.W.3d 653, 659 APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 20

23 (Tex. 2010). Factually, a defendant can allege that it does not have any contacts with the State of Texas. Id. Legally, the defendant can demonstrate that even if the facts are true, the evidence is not sufficient to establish jurisdiction in that either the contacts were not purposeful; the claims do not arise from the contacts; or that traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice are offended by the exercise of jurisdiction. Id. 3. The general statement that the nonresident defendant has not "committed a tort, in whole, or in part, in Texas" is conclusory and therefore insufficient to shift the burden to the plaintiff to produce evidence of the specific allegations that give rise to jurisdiction. Hoskins v. Ricco Family Partners, Ltd., 2016 WL at *8 (Tex.App.- Fort Worth May 12, 2016, no pet.). Notably, "[j]urisdiction cannot turn on whether a defendant denied wrongdoing- as virtually all will." Michiana Easy Livin' Country, Inc. v. Holten, 168 S.W.3d 777, 791 (Tex. 2005). 4. When a trial court does not issue findings of fact and conclusions of law, as in this case, the court of appeals is to imply that the trial court found all facts necessary to support the judgment. BMC Software Belg. N. V. v. Marchand, 83 S.W.3d 789, 795 (Tex. 2002). The implied findings of the trial court may be challenged for both their legal and factual sufficiency on appeal. Id. APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 21

24 5. In this case, Emmons and Source Capital do not deny that they both had contacts with the State of Texas. Instead, Emmons and Source Capital allege that the contacts were not sufficient to give rise to the level of minimum contacts. B. Emmons and Source Capital had minimum contacts with the State of Texas 1. A Texas court can exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident if "(1) the Texas long-arm statute authorizes the exercise of jurisdiction, and (2) the exercise of jurisdiction is consistent with federal and state constitutional due-process guarantees." Moki Mac Rives Expeditions, 221 S.W.3d at The Texas long-arm statute allows a court to exercise jurisdiction over anon-resident defendant who "does business" in Texas. TEX. CIV. PRAC. &REM. CODE ; Mountain States EmployeNs Council, Inc. v. Cobb Mechanical Contractors, Inc., 2008 WL at *3 (Tex.App.- Fort Worth July 3, 2008, no pet.). Pursuant to section of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, a non-resident defendant "does business" if it: a. Contracts by mail or otherwise with a Texas resident and either party is to perform the contract in whole or in part in this state; b. Commits a tort in whole or in part of this state. TEX. CIV. PRAC. &REM. CODE APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 22

25 3. Due process, the second prong for personal jurisdiction, is satisfied if: (1) the defendant has minimum contacts with the state; and (2) the exercise of jurisdiction comports with traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Moki Mac Rive~Expeditions, 221 S.W.2d at 575. The "minimum contacts" test looks to see whether or not the defendant purposefully availed himself of the privilege of conducting activities in Texas. See Michiana Easy Livin' Countf^y, Inc. v. Holten, 168 S.W.3d 777, 784 (Tex. 2005). 4. Courts utilize the following factors in determining whether or not a nonresident defendant has purposively availed himself to the State of Texas: (1) the acts must be the defendant's own actions; (2) the defendant's actions must be purposeful as opposed to random, isolated and fortuitous; and (3) the defendant must seek some benefit, advantage or profit by availing himself of the privilege of doing business in Texas. Id. at "At its core, the purposeful availment analysis seeks to determine whether anon-resident's conduct and connection to a forum are such that it could reasonably anticipate being hauled into court here." Moncrief Oillntern Inc. v. OAO GazpNom, 414 S.W.3d 142, 152 (Tex. 2013) (internal quotations omitted). 6. Minimum contacts can give rise to either general or specific jurisdiction. Only relevant jurisdictional facts, as opposed to the ultimate merits of APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 23

26 the case, should be considered by the Court in determining the issue of jurisdiction. See Monc~ief Oil Intern, 414 S.W.3d at 154. At the jurisdictional phase, the trial court is to review the defendant's business contacts with the State of Texas and the subjective intent of the defendants cannot negate their contacts. Id. i. General Jurisdiction 7. To establish general jurisdiction, the defendant's contacts must be continuous and systematic. For a corporation, general jurisdiction is typically established in either the state of incorporation and the corporation's principle place of business. Daimler AG v. Bauman, 134 S.Ct. 746, 758, n.11 (2014). For an individual, the exercise of general jurisdiction is usually limited to the individual's domicile. Goodyear Dunlop Ties Operations, S.A. v. Brown, 564 U.S. 915, 924 (2011). However, courts have held that a corporation's operations in another state might be substantial enough to render the corporation "at home" in that state. Bauman, 134 S.Ct. at 761. Here, the City concedes that general jurisdiction does not exist because Emmons lives in Georgia and Source Capital's principle place of business is Georgia. Therefore, the City will only focus on specific jurisdiction which is applicable in this case. ii. Specific Jurisdiction 8. Specific jurisdiction is established if the defendant's liability arises out APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 24

27 of or is related to an activity conducted in the State of Texas. Mold Mac Rive Expeditions, 221 S.W.3d at 576. In order to be related to, there must be a substantial connection to the facts in the case. Id. at 585. "A substantial connection can result from even a single act." Moncrief Oil Intern, 414 S.W.3d at 151. For specific jurisdiction, courts look a~t the relationship "between the defendant, the forum and the litigation." Glencoe Capital Partners II, LP v. Ge~nsbacher, 269 S.W.3d 157, 154 (Tex.App.- Fort Worth 2008, no pet.). For specific jurisdiction, "it is not necessary that the nonresident defendant's conduct actually occur in Texas, as long as the defendant's acts were purposefully directed towards Texas..." Hoskins v. Ricco Family Partners, Ltd., 2016 WL at *5(Tex.App.- Fort Worth May 12, 2016, no pet.) (internal quotations omitted). 9. This Court is to analyze the contacts on a claim by claim basis unless all claims arise from the same contacts. Monc~ief Oil Intern, 414 S.W.3d at 142. In this case, all of the claims arise from the same contacts, and therefore, the Court does not need to analyze the contacts on a claim by claim basis. iii. Source Capital's Contacts with the state of Texas 10. Appellants' Second Amended Petition asserts the following claims against Source Capital; fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and promissory estoppel. These claims stem from representations and promises made by APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 25

28 Emmons and Source Capital both while present in Texas and directed towards a city in Texas. Therefore, Appellants sufficiently established their initial pleading burden. See, e.g., Monc~ief Oil Intern Inc. 414 S.W.3d at In general, "the actions of a corporate agent on behalf of the corporation are deemed the corporation's acts." Holloway v. Skinner, 898 S.W.2d 793, 795 (Tex.1995). In addition, an LLC can only act through its agent and authorized representatives. 360 Irvine, LLC v. Tin Stagy Development, LLC, 2015 WL at * 5 (Tex.App.-Dallas June 30, 2015, no pet.). Therefore, the "actions of an entities' agent are deemed the acts of the entity." Id. 12. Atrial court may exercise jurisdiction if a nonresident business specifically seeks out a Texas business or Texas assets. Cornerstone Healthcare G~ozcpHolding, Inc. v. Nautic Mgmt., 2016 WL at *6(Tex. June 17, 2016). 13. In Co~neNstone Healthcare, the Texas Supreme Court held that an outof-state private equity fund and its general partner who specifically targeted Texas assets to invest (and ultimately profit from) had purposefully availed themselves to jurisdiction in the State of Texas. Id. The Texas Supreme Court held that even though a subsidiary actually purchased the Texas hospitals, "[k]eeping legal entities distinct does not mean that they can escape jurisdiction by splitting an integrated transaction into little bits." Id. at 73. In finding that the private equity fund and general partner APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 26

29 could be subjected to jurisdiction in Texas, the Court took into consideration the following facts: (1) the private equity fund "spearheaded" the transaction and "ultimately stood to profit" from the transaction; and the fund specifically sought out a Texas seller and Texas assets. Id. 14. In Moncrief Oil Intern, the Texas Supreme Court held that a Russian company was subject to jurisdiction in Texas when the defendants attended two meetings in Texas regarding a potential joint venture in Texas. Monc~ief Oillntern, 414 S.W.3d at 156. The Court in Moncrief Oil Intern held that the defendants purposely availed themselves to jurisdiction in Texas when they attended two meetings in Texas and sought the benefits and protection of Texas law. Id. The Court noted that the United States Supreme Court "concluded that forming an enterprise in one state to send payments to a corporation in the forum state was sufficient to confer specific jurisdiction." Id. at In Horizon Shipbuilding, the Houston Court of Appeals held that an Alabama Corporation, by way of its project manager and president, was subject to jurisdiction when the two individuals attended a meeting in Texas to discuss aspects of an already executed contract amongst the parties. Horizon Shipbuilding, Inc. v. Blynn II Holdings, LLC., 324 S.W.3d 840 (Tex.App.-Houston[14th Dist.] 2010, no pet.) The appellate court noted that the meeting "constituted a significant part of an APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 27

30 ongoing relationship among the parties" and "it was foreseeable that any disputes deriving from that meeting might be heard by a Texas court." Horizon Shipbuilding, 324 S.W.3d at Recently, the Fort Worth Court of Appeals upheld the denial of a special appearance when the non-resident defendants made fraudulent statements while physically present in the State of Texas which were the basis of the lawsuit. Patel v. Pate, 2017 WL at *5(Tex.App.-Fort Worth July 6, 2017, no pet.). The Appellate Court held that the Plaintiff sufficiently brought forward legally and factually sufficient evidence to establish that the representations were made while the non-resident defendant was located in Texas. Id. at * In this case, Source Capital, through Benjamin Emmons and Matthew Smith, undertook and negotiated a Workout Agreement with Capital One Bank as well as Horizon and the Seven Cities (one of which was White Settlement). To memorialize these promises, Source Capital and Emmons sent Phil Bray, then Director of Finance at the City, a detailed letter which explained the various promises by Source Capital and Emmons.61 Notably, this letter is on Source Capital's letterhead. 61 Appendix Tab 2 APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 28

These representations, which are the foundation of the City's' contract and fraud claims against both Emmons and Source Capital, were made by Emmons while attending a meeting in White Settlement.62 The City provided the trial court a copy of the letter as well as the affidavits of Jim Ryan and Phillip Bray who both attested to the fact that these allegations were made by Emmons and Source Capita1.63 Emmons also admits that he made three trips to Texas which related to the water park in White Settlement.6`~ Source Capital also admits that it made three payments to White Settlement relating to the water park in this case. 6s 19. In addition to the payments made by Source Capital and the trips to White Settlement, both Emmons and Matthew Smith, on behalf of Source Capital, initiated' and participated in numerous telephone and communications with representatives from the City regarding the Workout Agreement and the various promises and representations that were substantially relied upon by the City.66 These 62 CR CR CR s CR CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 29

32 contacts were purposeful and directly relate to the claims being brought by the City against both Emmons and Source Capital. Source Capital sought out White Settlement and the investment into Horizon.67 These contacts are more than enough to establish that Source Capital has minimum contacts with the State of Texas to give rise to specific jurisdiction. iv. Benjamin S. Emmons' Contacts with the State of Texas 20. Due to the multiple meetings attended by Emmons and the numerous telephone calls, s and letters directed to individuals in the State of Texas which directly relate to the claims in this case, Emmons purposefully availed himself to jurisdiction in the State of Texas. The claims asserted against Emmons are conversion, Texas Theft Liability Act, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and promissory estoppel. All of these claims either arise from representations and actions taken by Emmons while physically present in the State or directed towards individuals in the State of Texas. Emmons alleged that his visits to Texas did not amount to purposeful availment.68 However, as stated in more detail below, Emmons' contacts with the State of Texas were purposeful and directly relate 67 CR CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 30

33 to the facts surrounding the claims in this case. 21. Emmons alleges that the fiduciary shield doctrine protects him from jurisdiction.69 Emmons is mistaken. The fiduciary shield does not protect a corporate officer from specific jurisdiction as to intentional torts or fraudulent acts for which Emmons could be held individually liable. Stull v. LaPlant, 411 S.W.3d 129, 135 (Tex.App.- Dallas 2013, no pet). "There is no blanket protection from jurisdiction simply because a defendant's alleged acts were done in a corporate capacity." SITQ E. U., Inc. v. Reata Restaurants, Inc., 111 S.W.3d 638, 651d (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2003, pet denied.) (internal quotations omitted). 22. In this case, the City alleges that Emmons committed a fraud while in Texas and that he instructed individuals in Texas to commit a tort. Therefore, the fiduciary shield doctrine is not applicable. See.Tani-King Franchising, Inc. v. Falco F~^anchising, S.A., 2016 WL at *2(Tex.App.-Dallas May 5, 2016, no pet.). 23. Emmons also alleges that the contract and promissory estoppel claims in this case are actually converted tort claims and therefore the fiduciary shield doctrine applies. As stated in more detail below, this argument should be disregarded by this Court. 69 CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 31

34 24. Emmons cites to one unpublished opinion to support his argument that the fiduciary shield does not apply if the claim is "nothing more than a contract dispute."70 First, it is impermissible at this stage in the lawsuit to look to the merits of the claims. Moncrief Oil Intern, 414 S.W.3d at 156..Instead, the Court is to look at all jurisdictional facts to determine if Emmons has minimum contacts with the State of Texas. Second, the Texas Supreme Court has held that "it is well established that the legal duty not to fraudulently procure a contract is separate and independent from the duties established by the contract itself' and the Texas Supreme Court "has also repeatedly recognized that a fraud claim can be based on a promise made with no intention of performing, irrespective of whether the promise is later subsumed within a contract." FoNmosa Plastics Corp. USA v. P~esidio EngineeNs cznd Cont~actoNs, Inc., 960 S.W.2d 41, 46 (Tex. 1998). 25. In this case, Appellants allege that Source Capital and Emmons made representations to the City which were false or made recklessly.~l These promises were later laid out in a letter from Emmons to the City. Ultimately, it will be up to the trier of fact to determine if the City has established either a fraud and/or breach ~~ CR CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 32

35 of contract claim. Emmons should not be able to circumvent jurisdiction in the State of Texas by impermissibly hiding behind the fiduciary shield when the City has adequately pled plausible facts to suggest that Emmons committed a fraud in the state of Texas. 26. In addition, the City is bringing a conversion and claim under the Texas Theft Liability Act for Emmons' role in selling equipment that was owned by the City. These claims are distinctly separate from the other claims in this case. 27. As the fiduciary shield does not apply in this case, Emmons has purposefully availed himself to jurisdiction in the State of Texas. In Glencoe Capital Pa~tne~s, the Fort Worth Court of Appeals held that a shareholder and nonresident director had purposefully availed themselves of jurisdiction in Texas based on their participation in telephone meetings where representations were made which were the basis of the lawsuit. Glencoe Partners II, LP v. Gernasbacher, 269 S.W.3d 157, 167 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2008, no pet.). The Court concluded that these telephone calls were purposeful and that their liability, if any, arose from their contacts with the State of Texas. Id. 28. The Fort Worth Court of Appeals in Carlile Bancshares held that former non-resident directors had sufficient contacts with the state to give rise to jurisdiction. Ca~lile Bancshares, Inc. v. ANmstr~ong, 2014 WL at * 13 APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 33

36 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth Aug. 7, 2014, no pet.). The Court took into consideration that the directors sent s to employees in Texas; traveled to Texas to meet with employees; and "were experienced businessmen and knew the information they provided would be relied upon" by the Plaintiff in making a decision in Texas. Id. 29. In No~st~zcd, the Fort Worth Court of Appeals upheld the special appearance denial of the non-resident chief financial officer. No~st~ud v. Cicur, 2015 WL at * 11 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth Aug. 13, 2015, no pet.). The Court held that the fiduciary shield did not apply because it was alleged that the CFO purposefully targeted the plaintiff in Texas and directed the misinformation in order to secure the investment. Id. at. * 8. Despite not even traveling to the State of the Texas, the Court upheld the denial of the special appearance. Id. at * In this case, Emmons traveled to Texas; initiated and participated in numerous phone calls into Texas and exchanged many s with representatives from White Settlement.72 It was during a meeting in White Settlement that he made the representations which are the basis of the fraud and contract claims in this case. He also directed individuals in Texas to sell the City's equipment.73 These contacts 72 CR ; CR ; CR CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 34

37 were purposeful, plentiful and directly relate to the City's claims in this case. Emmons has not provided any evidence to contradict the evidence provided by the City that Emmons made false representations while in White Settlement or that he caused certain equipment to be improperly sold. See Fox Lake Animal Hospital PSP v. Wound Management Technologies, Inc., 2014 WL at *5 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth April 10, 2014, pet.denied). 31. Emmons is an experienced businessman who knew that the representations would be relied upon by individuals in the State of Texas. See Cc~~lile BancshczNes, Inc., 2014 WL at *13. Therefore, the Court should find the Emmons has purposefully availed himself of jurisdiction in Texas. C. The exercise of jurisdiction comports with fair play and substantial justice 32. As both Emmons and Source Capital had minimum contacts with the State of Texas and purposefully availed themselves, the exercise of jurisdiction comports with fair play and substantial justice. Courts look to the following factors to determine if the exercise of jurisdiction comports with fair play and substantial justice: (1) the bur den on the defendants; (2) the interest of the forum state in adjudicating the dispute; (3) the plaintiff's interests in obtaining convenient and effective relief; (4) the interstate judicial system's interest in obtaining the most efficient resolution of controversies; and (5) the shared interest of the several states APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 35

38 in furthering fundamental, substantive social policies. Glenco Capital Pa~tne~s, II, LP., 269 S.W.3d at "If a nonresident has minimum contacts with the forum, rarely will the exercise of jurisdiction over the nonresident not comport with traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice." Monc~ief Oillnt'l Inc., 414 S.W.3d at The burden is on Source Capital and Emmons to sufficiently "present `a compelling case that the presence of some consideration would render jurisdiction unreasonable. "' Guardian Royal Exchange Assurance, LTD. v. English China Clays. P.L.C. et al, 815 S.W.2d 223, 231 (Tex.1994). Distance to the forum is also generally insufficient to defeat jurisdiction. Glencoe Capital Pa~tne~s, II, LP., 268 S.W.3d. at Source Capital and Emmons have not met their burden of providing a compelling reason as to why the exercise of jurisdiction would be unreasonable. Instead, Source Capital and Emmons claim it would be unreasonable because neither have sufficient ties with Texas and "Plaintiffs have potential recourse against Hawaiian Parks..."74 Using this rationale, any nonresident defendant could avoid jurisdiction by claiming that the Plaintiff could recover from another party. Such an unreasonable result should not be permitted by the Court. ~`~ CR APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 36

39 35. Both Enunons and Source Capital knew based on their contacts within Texas that they could be brought into a Texas court room. This case also involves other parties and claims and thus it would be more efficient to resolve the entire case in the same place. See Monc~ief Oillnt'l, Inc., 414 S.W.3d at 155. Texas also has an interest in providing a forum for its residents to address grievances inflicted by nonresident parties. See Glencoe Capital Pa~tne~s, II, LP., 268 S.W.3d. at Source Capital and Emmons have both failed to provide any reasonable justification for why jurisdiction should not be imposed in this case; therefore, the Court should find that the exercise of jurisdiction in this case compot-ts with fair play and substantial justice. CONCLUSION &PRAYER The facts in this case are not in dispute. Emmons and Source Capital made substantial, subordinate loans to Horizon, a business entity in Texas. Horizon had leases to operate seven water parks located in seven cities tlu oughout Texas including, the City of White Settlement. When Horizon went into default with its senior lender (Capital One Banlc) and its leases, Emmons and Source Capital sought to salvage their loan with the Workout Agreement. Emmons and Source Capital came to Texas to persuade the Seven Cities, including White Settlement, to APPELLANTS' BRIEF PAGE 37

40 cooperate. Promises were made and reliance occurred. White Settlement agreed to forebear from putting its Lease into default. The promises made by Emmons and Source Capital were breached which caused damage to the City. Both Source Capital and Emmons have more than enough purposeful contacts within Texas which directly relate to the claims in this case. As Source Capital and Emmons have purposefully availed themselves of jurisdiction, the Court should reverse the trial court's granting of the Special Appearance for both Emmons and Source Capital. W~-IEREFORE, premises considered the City respectfully requests that the Justices of this Honorable Court reverse the trial court's granting of the Special Appearance for Emmons and Source Capital, remand the case back to the trial court and grant the City any and all other relief to which they may show themselves justly entitled, in law or equity.

Specifically, Emmons has personally availed himself to the jurisdiction of this Court based on the numerous communications and visits made by Emmons in the State of Texas. In addition, Plaintiffs allege Emmons committed a fraud and/or negligent misrepresentation when he caused Plaintiffs to enter into an agreement, in Texas, based on false pretenses. 10. This Court also has jurisdiction over Source Capital based on the numerous communications and visits within Texas made by Source Capital representatives including Ben Emmons and Matt Smith.

48 N. Statement of Relevant Facts 11. Source Capital is a private equity firm which makes both control equity investments and mezzanine debt investments in mature, lower-middle market U.S. companies across a range of industries. Source Capital Mezzanine Fund I, LP is a Delaware limited partnership that is a pooled investment fund; Source Horizon Mezzanine Co-Investment Fund I, LP is a Delaware limited partnership that is a pooled investment fund; and Gregson Trust is a family owned trust, all collectively referred to as the "Source Capital Lenders". In 2013, Source Capital caused the Source Capital Lenders to make a debt investment (a loan) in Horizon Family Holdings, LLC. Horizon Family Holdings, LLC ("Horizon") is a Missouri based holding company with offices in and doing. business in, the State of Texas. The loan was to be repaid from the operations of Horizon's waterparks in Texas (the"seven Water Parks"). The purpose of the loan was for essential working capital and construction monies for certain of the Seven Water Parks. Appropriate loan documents were executed by Horizon. See Paragraph 18 below for further discussion. In 2013, Horizon began construction of the Pflugerville and White Settlement parks and thereafter, operated water and adventure park companies in the state of Texas, including companies whose parks are located in Garland, Pflugerville, Mansfield, Roanoke, The Colony, Waco and White Settlement ("the Seven Water Parks"). Horizon no longer operates the parks in White Settlement or Pflugerville. The waterpark lease at White Settlement was owned by Horizon's affiliate, HParks. 12. Emmons has represented that Source Capital or its affiliate, Source Horizon, LLC, is the controlling owner of Horizon. i

49 13. Horizon operated the Seven Water Parks on a consolidated basis, including the financing, accounting, key management, human resources, marketing and administration activities of the Seven Water Parks. Particularly, Horizon controlled the funds of itself and all of its Seven Water Parlc affiliates. 14. Beginning in 2013, White Settlement and Mr. David Busch initiated discussions for the development, construction and operation of a water and adventure park (the "Park") to be built in White Settlement by HParlcs. Mr. Busch had an extensive history in developing and operating water parks. The proposal was attractive to White Settlement as it presented a means of generating new economic development sorely needed in the City. 15. On September 26, 2013, the City and HParks entered into a Construction Agreement ("Construction Agreement") in which the City agreed to provide up to ~12,500,000.0o to fund the construction and equipping of the Park on the City's property. In return, HParks was responsible for designing, developing, constructing and equipping the Park. Construction was set to begin no later than November 1, 2013 and was to be completed by May 24, The $12,500, funding for the construction to HParks was provided by White Settlement. 1~. Simultaneous with the Construction Agreement, White Settlement, and HParks entered into a Water and Adventure Park Ground Lease and Operating Agreement ("Lease and Operating Agreement") on September 26, The Lease and Operating Agreement provided that HParks would operate and maintain the Park, 1 A true, correct and complete copy of the Lease and Operating Agreement is attached hereto as F~chibit "1" and incorporated herein by reference. i'

50 as well as pay semi-annual lease payments initially in amounts sufficient enough to reimburse the debt servicing cost for the construction and equipping of the Parlc, and thereafter annual lease payments of five (5) percent of Gross Revenues.2 HParlcs was also liable for any operating cost shortfalls. The term of the Lease and Operating Agreement was forty (40) years and provided for renewals thereafter. The first lease payment was to be paid the thirtieth (30~) day after the certificate of occupancy was issued to HParks. All lease payments were to be made by HParks at the City of White Settlement Finance Department, 214 Meadow Park Drive, White Settlement, Texas X During 2013, Horizon needed additional money to finish construction of the waterparks at White Settlement and Pflugerville and for additional operating capital. As such, Horizon sought to borrow 3.5 million dollars from Source Capital. Source Capital orchestrated the loan from the Source Capital Lenders. To collateralize this loan, the Source Capital Lenders obtained liens on the assets of Horizon. Prior to this, Horizon had borrowed money from Capital One Bank in Fort Worth. The 3.5 million dollar Source Capital Lender's loan was subordinate to the Capital One loan. Appropriate documents to reflect the subordination agreement were executed by Capital One and the Source Capital Lenders. 1g. The opening of the White Settlement park (the "Park") was set to occur on or about May 24, However, due to delays in construction, the Park did not open for operation until June 6, After construction was completed, the Park contained numerous pools and water slides together with food concessions and a conference 2 F~chibit "1" at Paragraph 8. 3 F~hibit "1" at Paragraph

51 center. The adventure park with rope courses and climbing walls was not completed at the time of opening. The Park was to be open year-around with the water portion of the Park available only during the summer. 20. Pursuant to the Lease and Operating Agreement, HParlcs was required to make the first lease payment on October 1, 2014 in the amount of $500, The second payment of $200, was due on April 1, HParks did not make these lease payments fully or timely. HParks did so only after White Settlement signed certain Consents sought by Emmons and Source Capital as further discussed in Paragraph 3o below. 21. The Lease and Operating Agreement also required HParlcs to make a lease payment in the amount of $600, to White Settlement on or before October 1, HParlcs failed to make this lease payment. HParlcs was obligated to pay interest on any late lease payments. HParlcs failed to pay the interest as required. 22. By late 2014, HParlcs went into default on White Settlement's Lease and Operating Agreement and Horizon went into default on the loan or loans with Capital One Bank and the loans with the Source Capital Lenders. As a result of the defaults, numerous cities, including White Settlement, threated to terminate their lease and Capital One Banlc threatened to foreclose on the assets of Horizon. If the leases were terminated and Capital One foreclosed on its liens, the Source Capital Lenders would not be able to obtain repayment of their 3.5 million dollar loan. 23. Ben Emmons was and is a partner and a Managing Director of Source Capital. Mr. Emmons was and is an investor and limited partner in one or more of the Source Capital Lenders and a managing member of the general partner entities of certain of the Source Capital Lenders. As such, Mr. Emmons has a personal financial 292

52 interest in Source Capital and the Source Capital Lenders. Source Capital and Source Capital Lenders each have published statements about Mr. Emmon's roles in their organizations. Source Capital had only one Texas business in its portfolio; that being Horizon. 24. Emmons was directly involved in the negotiation of the 3.5 million dollar loan from the Source Capital Lenders to Horizon. Emmons was also directly involved in servicing this loan. As part of these activities, Emmons physically visited all the waterparks in Texas; he regularly communicated with the management of Horizon including David Bush and Clinton Hill in Texas; he regularly communicated with a Capital One representative, David Denbin, who was located in Fort Worth, Texas and he communicated with the City of White Settlement as well as with the other cities where the waterparks were located. Emmons also had meetings in Texas with representatives of Horizon and Capital One. At all times relevant to this lawsuit, White Settlement believed that Ben Emmons represented Source Capital and/or himself. 25. Other Source Capital personnel were involved in the Horizon loans. Particularly, Matthew Smith was actively involved in lcey matters regarding Horizon. Mr. Smith is a team member and vice president of Source Capital. Mr. Smith frequently communicated with Horizon, Capital One, and the Seven Water Parks by telephone and communications. Mr. Smith also made numerous visits to Texas. 26. In early 2015, Ben Emmons, representing Source Capital and the Source Capital Lenders, undertook and negotiated a workout agreement with Capital One Bank as well as the cities who owned the Seven Water Parks (the "Workout Agreement"). The Workout Agreement is reflected in the press release attached hereto as E~iibit "2". According to the press release, the principal features of the Workout 293

53 Agreement including the following: a. "Capital One Banlc would enter into a forbearance agreement whereby the Bank would refrain from foreclosing before the end of 2015; b. Source Capital would advance an additional 5 million dollars to pay past due rents due on the waterpark leases and to operate the Seven Water Parks through the end of 2015; c. Source Capital would refinance the debt of Horizon by the end of 2015 or sell the parks and pay off the debts of Horizon." 2~. The negotiation process stretched over a six month period from late 2014 through May During this period of time, Emmons had numerous telephone conversations with representatives of Capital One Bank, Horizon, and representatives of the Seven Water Parks. All of the persons communicating with Emmons were in the State of Texas. Emmons also made numerous physical visits to Texas to meet with representatives of Capital One Bank, Horizon as well as with officials at the City of White Settlement in connection with the Workout Agreement. 28. In order to complete the Workout Agreement, it was necessary for the cities of the Seven Water Parks to consent to the changes in the debt structure of Horizon as well as the ownership of the parks. It was also necessary that the Seven Water Parks defer their ability to exercise the rights and remedies under their ground leases even though the ground leases were in default. 2g. Ben Emmons met with White Settlement officials in early 2015 to discuss the Park's operations and finances as well as the Workout Agreement. The meeting occurred in White Settlement, Texas. At the meeting, Emmons asked White Settlement to consider approving certain matters regarding the Lease and Operating Agreement?94

54 and the financing of the Park's operations. Particularly, Emmons sought the approval by White Settlement of a Consent to Mortgage of Leasehold of the Park (the "Mortgage Consent") to secure the continuation of a previous loan up to $l0,200,000.0o from Capital One (the "Lender") to Horizon. Emmons specifically represented that the Consent would benefit White Settlement. Emmons stated that the Mortgage Consent from White Settlement was especially important to Capital One. Particularly, Capital One conditioned its agreement to the extended lending transaction on receipt of White Settlement's signed Consent to Mortgage. 30. In addition to requesting White Settlement agree to the Mortgage Consent, Emmons requested White Settlement agree to a Consent to a future Change of Ownership (the "Ownership Consent") for the transfer of ownership of Horizon to Source Horizon, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company affiliated with Source Capital. In connection with this transfer of ownership, Emmons represented Source Capital would inject up to $5,000,000 in Horizon for the benefit of HParks and other of the Seven Water Parks. Mr. Emmons further represented that this cash injection, together with an additional cash injection of $1,000,000 by Source Capital and Capital One Banlc, would ensure that Horizon would have enough cash to resolve all of the 2014 hold-over obligations, handle the 2015 commitments as they became due (including the $600,000 rent payment due to White Settlement in October, 2015, and carry enough reserves into the off-season for operating expenses. Emmons also represented that Mr. Busch would remain the CEO. 31. Because HParks had failed to timely and fully pay the first and second lease payments, White Settlement was very concerned about the ability of HParks to pay the remaining balances of 2014 and 2o151ease payments already delinquent and to 295

55 timely pay subsequent lease payments timely, particularly the one -due on October 1, White Settlement had no reason to agree to the Mortgage Consent unless White Settlement would benefit from the continuation of Capital One's loan and White Settlement would be paid the lease payments. Additionally, because HParizs had failed to resolve its 2014 hold-over obligations, White Settlement was very concerned about HParks' financial health and ability for 2015 and the following years. White Settlement had no reason to agree to the Ownership Consent unless the cash infusions were made by Source Capital and Capital One in connection with the change of ownership sought by Source Capital and such infusions were used to benefit White Settlement. At the meeting in White Settlement and in conversations and writings thereafter, Emmons represented that if the Mortgage Consent was given by White Settlement, the outstanding and the future October 1, 2o151ease payments to White Settlement would be paid.4 This representation was material. White Settlement relied on the representation. But for this representation, White Settlement would not have executed the Mortgage Consent requested by Emmons and would have pursued its rights and remedies for the defaults under the Lease. Based on information and belief, Emmons knew this representation was false or made it without any knowledge of its truth. Again, Mr. Emmons promised White Settlement that lease payments would be made timely if the Mortgage Consent was signed by White Settlement. This representation was material. White Settlement relied on the representation. Similarly, but for the cash injection representations, the operating representations and key management representations made by Mr. Emmons in connection with the request for the Ownership Consent, White Settlement would not have executed the Ownership 4 A copy of the letter sent by Ben Emmons is attached hereto as F~hibit "3". 296

56 Consent, and would have pursued its rights and remedies for the default under the Lease. 32. Emmons' representations proved to be untrue. Emmons, and Source Capital, determined that the Parlc at White Settlement was not financially viable. As a result of this conclusion, Emmons and Source Capital engaged in activities which reduced the financial commitment to the Park. These activities included: a. Only 3.~ million of the 5 million dollars promised was advanced for the debt service and operation of the Seven Water Parks, including White Settlement; b. All the Seven Water Parks' rent payments through 2015 were paid except for White Settlement. Their promises to the contrary, the $600, rental payment due to White Settlement in October 2015 purposefully was not paid; c. $300, in operating income generated at White Settlement was diverted to the support of the other Seven Water Parks; d. No efforts was made to maintain the White Settlement waterpark; e. Efforts to pay outstanding vendor indebtedness were delayed or halted, resulting in mechanic's liens; f. Adequate insurance was not maintained on the Park; and g. Mr. Busch was not retained as the CEO. 33 Following HParks' failure to make a lease payment, White Settlement notified HParks of its default under the Lease on February 18, HParks was given sixty (6o days) to remedy the default. HParks failed to remedy the default and White Settlement subsequently terminated the Lease and Operating Agreement. 297

57 34 der Source Horizon acquired Horizon, Emmons, Matthew Smith and Clinton Hill served on the board of Source Horizon. Source Horizon exercised significant control over the operations of Horizon, the control being greater than that normally exercised by a parent entity over a subsidiary entity. 35 Prior to the termination of the. Lease and Operating Agreement, Emmons and Clinton Hill ("Hill") caused the arcade games and other equipment owned by White Settlement from the Park (collectively, the "Equipment") to be removed from the Park. This activity by Emmons and Hill was done without approval or permission of the City despite the fact the City owned the Equipment. The Equipment was valued at over $26, The Lease and Operating Agreement clearly state that at the termination of the Lease and Operating Agreement, the City shall retain title to all personal property which includes all goods, Operating Inventory, merchandise, computers, software, vehicles, and machinery owned in connection with the Park Multiple mechanics liens were filed against the Park in direct violation of the Lease and Operating Agreement as a result of Horizon's non-payment to the vendors. The claimed indebtedness for these liens exceeded $900, Horizon did not timely resolve several of these liens. At least one lawsuit regarding one of the liens was filed in Tarrant County, Texas. The City had to resolve this lawsuit at a cost of $2, Emmons represented the mechanics liens would be resolved and requested all such claims be reported to Source Capital. The City complied with this request. However, to date, certain of these encumbrances filed against HParks and White Settlement's Park property are not released. 37. Horizon also failed to maintain adequate insurance as required under the 5 F~hibit "i" at Paragraph 6.6.3

58 Lease and Operating Agreement. Particularly, full replacement cost value property insurance was required by the Lease. In 2016, White Settlement discovered that neither HParks or Horizon or Source Capital purchased property insurance for all of the water parks (not only HParks, but also for the other six parks operated by Horizon and its subsidiaries.) This insurance stated the value of White Settlement's property to be only $4~784~ This stated value was substantially less than the full replacement cost value required by the Lease and Operating Agreement. As a result, White Settlement, at its expense, secured the necessary property insurance. The cost of the property insurance was $43$ In addition, Horizon failed to maintain the Park as required by the Lease and Operating Agreement and allowed waste to be committed on the Parlc which was prohibited under the Lease and Operating Agreement. Horizon also failed to repair or replace certain latent defects in the Park's improvements. The repair or replacement was required by the Lease and Operating Agreement. Among other latent defects, the platforms for the Adventure Park facility were inadequate and the roofs and/or structures leaked. In 2015, Emmons represented all needed maintenance and repairs would be made. The representations were material. The City relied on these representations. This representation proved to be false. After the termination of the Lease and Operating Agreement, White Settlement discovered the Park premises, fixtures and equipment were in disrepair and not in the good condition as required by the Lease and Operating Agreement. In order to open the Park in 2016, White Settlement made extensive repairs and necessary maintenance at a cost in excess of $290, ~ ~

59 a. First Cause of Action: Breach of Contract (HParks) 39 White Settlement sues HParlcs for breach of contract as follows: 40. White Settlement and HParks had a valid and enforceable Lease and Operating Agreement whereby HParks agreed to operate and manage the Park. White Settlement has performed all of its obligations under the Lease and Operating Agreement. HParks breached the Lease and Operating Agreement for the following reasons: a. Failure to timely make lease payments and interest thereon; b. Failure to return White Settlement's personal property following the termination of the Lease and Operating Agreement; c. Failure to report and resolve any mechanic liens; d. Failure to maintain required insurance; e. Failure to maintain and repair the Park; failure to repair or replace improvements with latent defects; and allowing waste of the Premises to occur; and f. Failure to operate the Park per the Lease and Operating Agreement. 41. As a result of HParks' breaches, White Settlement has been damaged. White Settlement hereby sues HParks to recover its actual damages plus pre- and postjudgment. interest at the maximum legal rate permitted by law, attorneys' fees, and costs of court. In addition, should it become necessary to impose equitable remedies to collect its damages, such as the imposition of a constructive trust or injunction, White Settlement requests that this Court grant all such relief to which White Settlement shows itself justly entitled. b. Second Cause of Action: Promissory Estouuel (HParks) 42. Pleading further, and in the alternative, White Settlement sues HParks for promissory estoppel as follows: 43 At the request of HParks and in reliance upon the promise of payment by 300

60 HParks, White Settlement provided a substantial amount of funding to HParks. HParlcs accepted the $12,500, and had reasonable notice that White Settlement expected payment in return. In the event that it is determined that the agreement between White Settlement and HParlcs did not constitute an enforceable contract, White Settlement asserts that HParks should be estopped from denying the existence of an enforceable agreement because, by its words and deeds, HParks promised to pay White Settlement and White Settlement reasonably and substantially relied on HParks' promise to its detriment, that such reliance was foreseeable to HParks such that White Settlement will suffer a loss and HParks will be unjustly enriched in a like amount, should the promise not be enforced. White Settlement hereby sues HParks for its actual damages plus pre-and post-judgment interest at the maximum legal rate permitted by law, attorneys' fees and costs of court. In addition, should it become necessary to impose equitable remedies to collect its damages, such as the imposition of a constructive trust or injunction, White Settlement requests that this Court grant all such relief to which White Settlement shows itself justly entitled. c. Third Cause of Action: Conversion (Emmons and Hill) 44. The City sues Emmons and Hill for conversion as follows: 45 Emmons and Hill unlawfully, and without authorization, assumed dominion and control over property, including: a. Arcade games owned by the City; and b. Other equipment, including by not limited to, computer equipment and TVs, lockers, picnic tables, chairs, shade sails and power equipment and tools, owned by the City. 46. Emmons and Hill assumed dominion over this property to the exclusion of 301

61 the City's rights in the property. 47. The City sues Emmons and Hill for the value of its property at the time and place of Emmon's and Hill's conversion. The City is entitled to interest on the amount at the prejudgment rate of interest. 48. In addition, Emmons and Hill maliciously converted property that belonged to the City because they specifically intended to cause substantial injury to the City. Accordingly, the City seeks exemplary damages against Emmons and Hill for conversion. d. Fourth Cause of Action: Texas Theft Liability Act (Emmons and Hill) 49 The City sues Emmons and Hill pursuant to the Texas Theft Liability Act as follows: 50. The City had a possessory right to the property described in paragraph Emmons and Hill unlawfully appropriated this property with the intent to deprive the City of the property. 52. As a result of Emmons and Hill's theft, the City has sustained damages and sues Emmons and Hill for its actual damages and $l, in statutory damages under Tex.Civ.Prac. &Rem. Code (a)(1). In addition, the City is entitled to attorney's fees pursuant to Tex.Civ.Prac.&Rem. Code 134 oo5~) e. Fifth Cause of Action: Fraud (Emmons and Source Capital) 53 Emmons and Source Capital made a representation to White Settlement that if White Settlement agreed to the Workout Agreement, the outstanding and the future lease payments, and particularly the lease payment of $600, which was due on October 1, 2015, would be made to White Settlement. 54. Emmons and Source Capital represented to White Settlement that if White 302

62 Settlement agreed to the Workout Agreement, Source Capital would inject up to $5,000,000 in Horizon Family Holdings, LLC and/or HParks. 55 Mr. Emmons and Source Capital further represented that this cash injection, together with an additional cash injection of $1,000,000 by Source Capital and Capital One Bank, would ensure that Horizon would have enough cash to resolve all of the 2014 hold over obligations, handle the 2015 commitments as they became due, and carry enough reserves into the off-season for operating expenses. Emmons also represented that Mr. Busch would remain the CEO. 56. Emmons and Source Capital also represented that all needed maintenance and repairs would be made at the Parlc. 5~. Emmons and Source Capital represented that the mechanics liens would be resolved. 58. Emmons and Source Capital either knew each of the representations was false or made the representations recl~lessly without knowledge of its truth. Emmons, and Source Capital intended for White Settlement to rely on these representations and White Settlement did rely on these representations. 59 Due to Emmons' and Source Capital's blatant fraud, White Settlement was injured. White Settlement seeks recovery of its actual damages, exemplary damages, interest and court costs from Emmons and Source Capital. f. Smith Cause of Action: Negligent Misrepresentation (Emmons and Source Capital) 60. Pleading further and in the alternative, White Settlement sues Emmons and Source Capital for negligent misrepresentation. 61. Emmons and Source Capital made a representation to White Settlement 303

63 that if White Settlement agreed to the Workout Agreement, the outstanding and the future lease payments, and'particularly the lease payment of $600, which was due on October 1, 2015, would be made to White Settlement. 62. Emmons and Source Capital represented to White Settlement that if White Settlement agreed to the Workout Agreement, Source Capital would inject up to $5,000,000 in Horizon Family Holdings, LLC and/or HParks. 63. Emmons and Source Capital further represented that this cash injection, together with an additional cash injection of $1,000,000 by Source Capital and Capital One Bank, would ensure that Horizon Family Holdings, LLC would have enough cash to resolve all of the 2014 hold over obligations, handle the 2015 commitments as they became due, and carry enough reserves into the offseason. Emmons also represented that Mr. Busch would remain the CEO. 64. Emmons and Source Capital also represented that all needed maintenance and repairs would be made at the Park. 65. Emmons and Source Capital represented that the mechanics liens would be resolved. 66. These representations given to White Settlement were false and Emmons and Source Capital did not exercise reasonable care in communicating the representations. 6~. White Settlement relied on these representations and only entered into the Workout Agreement following the representations by Emmons and Source Capital. 68. Emmons and Source Capital's representations caused White Settlement injury. White Settlement seeks to recover its actual damages, exemplary damages, interest and court costs from Emmons and Source Capital. 304

64 g. Seventh Cause of Action: Breach of Contract (Emmons and Source Capital) 6g. Pleading further and in the alternative, White Settlement sues Emmons and Source Capital for breach of contract. ~o. As stated above, Emmons and Source Capital made certain promises to White Settlement which are contained in the Workout Agreement. Emmons and Source Capital may contend that they believed, in good faith, that the terms of the Workout Agreement would be performed. 71. Emmons and Source Capital failed to perform as promised. This failure to perform constitutes a breach of contract which has caused damage to White Settlement. Therefore, White Settlement sues Emmons and Source Capital to recover its actual damages caused by the breach. h. Eighth Cause of Action: Promisso,Estoppel(Emmons and Source Capital) ~2. Pleading further. and in the alternative, White Settlement sues Emmons and Source Capital on a promissory estoppel theory. 73. Emmons and Source Capital made promises to White Settlement. 74. White Settlement reasonably relied on these promises to its detriment. 75. White Settlement's reliance was foreseeable by Emmons and Source Capital. ~6. A material injustice will befall White Settlement unless the terms of the Workout Agreement are enforced through a judgment of this case. Therefore, White Settlement sues Emmons and Source Capital to recover its actual damages. '7'7. Punitive Damages. Per Civil Practices and Remedies Code Section 41 with regard to the fraud and conversion claims. ~8. Attorney's Fees. Pursuant to Civil Practices and Remedies Code Section 305

65 _~ PTa WHEREFORE, premises considered, White Settlement respectfully requests that a judgment be entered against Defendants and in favor of White Settlement requiring Defendants to pay to White Settlement the actual damages, exemplary damages, preand post judgment interest, attorneys' fees and costs of court as well as any and all other relief to which White Settlement may show itself justly entitled.
