DC-22-07479 TREVOR COLE COMMERCIAL CORP. $ IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF CT. $ Plaintiff, $ $ $ $ v $ $ 134th JUDICIAL DISTRICT $ s $ MOMENTUM FORT WORTH $ INVESTMENT, LLC, and ABDUL M. $ HASSANALLY $ Defendant. s DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS DEF'ENDANTS' MOTION SUMMARY JUDGMENT TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COME NOW, Defendants MOMENTUM FORT WORTH INVESTMENT, LLC and ABDUL M. HASSANALLY, and file this their Motion for Summary Judgment, and in support of same would show the Court as follows: I. AND SUMMARY OF THE 1 Plaintifls claims are nothing more than a shakedown attempt after Plaintiffs failed to uphold their end of the contractual bargain. Simply put, Plaintiff promised that it would secure a commercial loan offer for Defendants which totaled $ 15,000,000 and it failed to do so. Yet, Plaintiff seeks recovery against Defendants for breach of the unfulfilled contract, and unfounded personal guarantor liability based on this purported breach of contract when no personal guaranty exists. Plaintifls failure to secure a loan offer as promised demonstrates a fundamental lack of consideration and failure to perform all DEFENDANTS, MoTIoN Ton SuuvTaRY JUDGMENT Pacn I I conditions precedent. As such, Plaintifls claims against the Defendants must fail as a matter of law. II. SUMMARY JUDGMENT EVIDENCE 2. Pursuant to TExes Ruln oF CIVIL PRoceouRe 166a(d), the summary judgment evidence upon which this Motion relies is offered in the following exhibits attached hereto and fully incorporated herein by reference. Exhibit A: Affidavit of Abdul Hassanally (hereinafter "Hassanally Affidavit"); Exhibit l: November 5,2021Letter of lnterest from Plaintiff TREVOR COLE COMMERCIAL CORP. OF CT and Defendant MOMENTUM FORT WORTH INVESTMENT, LLC (hereinafter "Agreement"); Exhibit 2: January 14, 2022 Conditional Loan Approval from American Savings Life Insurance Company (hereinafter "CLA"). III. FACTS -t On or about November 9, 2021, Defendant MOMENTUM FORT WORTH INVESTMENT, LLC ("MOMENTUM") entered into an agreement with Plaintiff in which Plaintiff agreed to secure financing and to procure MOMENTUM a commercial loan of not less than $ 15,000,000.00. See Exhibit 1, Agreement; see also fl 4, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. 4. Plaintiff s lawsuit is based on its false claims that it fulfilled its contractual obligations by securing this financing from American Savings Life Insurance Company in early 2022. See generally Plaintiff's Original Petition. Specifically, Plaintiff references an executed DBFENDANTS' MoTIoN FoR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Pacr | 2 Conditional Loan Approval between Defendant and American Savings Life Insurance Company as fulfilment of its contractual obligations. See Exhibit 2, CLA. However, after written discovery has been conducted, and initial disclosures exchanged, a cursory examination of this Conditional Loan Approval demonstrates that Plaintiff only secured a commercial loan totaling $14,500,000, half a million dollars less than what Plaintiff and Defendants had bargained for. See Exhibit 2, CLA; see also fl 5, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. 5 Ultimately, the insufficient loan failed to close through no fault of Defendants. See fl 6, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. Because American Savings Life Insurance Company failed to perform all inspections that it demanded prior to closing, the deal was never consummated. See 1T6, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. 6. Despite procuring an insufficient loan for Defendants that never closed because of the lender's failure to perform, Plaintiff has filed suit and is demanding payment pursuant to the contract between Plaintiff and Defendants, and seeking personal liability against Defendant ABDUL HASSANALLY. See fl 7, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. 7 Because there is no genuine issue of material fact as to Plaintiff s failure to perform pursuant to the contract, Defendants have negated a key element of each of Plaintiff s theories of recovery, and Defendants are entitled to a take-nothing judgment as a matter of law. DEFENDANTS, MoTIoN FoR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PAGE | 3 IV ARGIIMENTS & AUTHO RITIES FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AGAINST PLAINTIFF'S CLAIMS 8 There is no genuine issue as to any material fact regarding the causes of action set forth below, and Defendants are entitled to a take-nothing judgment against Plaintiffs claims as a matter of law. 9 Pursuant to Tpxes Rule oF CIVIL PnocpouRn l66a(c), a motion for summary judgment shall be granted if the pleadings and summary judgment evidence show that there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. TEx. R. Ctv. P. 166a(c); Blackv. Victoria Lloyds Ins. Co., 797 S.W.2d20,23 (Tex. 1990). If a movant's motion and summary judgment proof facially establish a right to judgment as a matter of law, the burden shifts to the non-movant to raise a material fact issue sufficient to defeat summary judgment. HBO, A Div. of Time Warner Entertainment Co., L.P. v. Haruison, 983 S.W.2d 31, 35 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1998, no pet.). In the absence of establishing a fact issue, the movant is entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. 10 A party resisting a claim may establish that no genuine issue of fact exists, justif ing a "take-nothing" judgment as a matter of law by negating at least one of the key elements of each of the claimant's theories of recovery . Science Spectrum, Inc. v. Martinez,941 S.W.2d 910,911 (Tex.1997). BRn,q,cH or CoNrRAcr 11. Elements of breach of contract are: (1) existence of valid contract between plaintiff and defendant; (2) plaintiff performed or tendered performance under contract; (3) defendant breached contract; and (4) plaintiff was damaged as result of breach. Holloway v. Dekkers, DEFENDANTS' MoTIoN ToR SUITITaRY JUDGMENT PAGE | 4 380 S.W.3d 3I5,324 (Tex. App.-Dallas 20l2,no pet.). To prove abreach of contract, the plaintiff must establish that it performed, tendered performance of, or was excused from performing its contractual obligations. See, e.g., Krayemv. USRP (PAC), L.P.,194 S.W.3d 91 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2006, pet. denied). A party who does not perform its obligation cannot enforce the remaining terms of the contact against the other party. Interceramic, Inc. v. S. Orient R.R. Co.,999 S.W.2 dg20,924 (Tex.App.-Texarkana l999,pet.denied) 12. Under the traditional rule, parties are entitled to an "exact" performance of their agreement. See Kitten v. Vaughn,397 S.W.2d 530, 533 (Tex. Civ. App.-Austin 1965, no writ). For example, in Kitten, a contract calling for a first lien note of $160,000 with a single lender was not sufficiently performed by a tender of a first lien note of $ 100,000 with one lender and an additional second lien note of $60,000 with a second lender. Failure to fully perform or to tender full perfonnance prevents a party from enforcing the contract. See Benson v. Harrell,324 5.W.2d,6t20,623(Tex. Civ. App.-Fort Worth Ig5g,writ ref d n.r.e.). 13 Here, Plaintifls breach of contract must fail because it cannot that it performed, tendered performance of, or was excused from performing its contractual obligations. See, e.g., Krayem v. USRP (PAC), L.P.,194 S.W.3d 91 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2006, pet. denied). The Agreement between Plaintiff and Defendant clearly contemplates a $15,000,000 loan, and nothing less: D#; ltlnvarr&er&,?fr21 slgg:[: &sdu] ]dej*d t+8*€snsllt' E$ Corrn@kertunl{s,0m,000 DEFENDANTS' Moltolq FoR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PAGE | 5 foff$iA?B{:.

Despite the clear and unambiguous language of the contract, Plaintiff only procured a loan from American Savings Life Insurance in the amount of $14,500,000: Proposed lnen: $;{,500,000in fir$t Ffsitgo{l lian al ?.9Sft ftr*d rate- icrerestsnfy, li.rlth E i-yrr h*llnsn; sns {1} opti*rrel l'gear e*ic**lhn thereof, upan o*Yftent *f a I et, extcnsisn fee See Exhibit2, CLA; Exhibit l, Agreement; see also fl 9, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. l5 Defendants are entitled to an "exact" performance of their agreement. See Kitten v. Vaughn, 397 S.W.2d 530, 533 (Tex. Civ. App.-Austin 1965, no writ). Just as in Kitten, Plaintiff failed to perform in the exact manner contemplated in the contract. The loan procured by Plaintiff was short of the bargained for amount. Whether this is construed as a failure of conditions precedent, a failure of consideration, a prior material breach of the contract, or a simple failure to perform, the result is the same: Plaintiffs breach of contract fails as a matter of law, Plaintiff should take nothing. 76 Moreover, the deficient loan procured by Plaintiff never closed through no fault of Defendants. See fl 10, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. Specifically, the lender, American Savings Life Insurance Company, represented that the loan would close upon an inspection of the Defendants' property. See fl 10, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. However, no such DEFENDANTS' MOTTON T.oR SUNTvT^q.RY JUDGMENT PAGE | 6 inspection ever occurred, and the loan never closed. See fl 10, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. Simply put, Plaintiff procured a deficient loan that was never consummated, and accordingly, did not perform its contractual obligations. 17. In summary, a breach of contract claim requires a plaintiff performed or tendered performance under contract. Holloway v. Dekkers, 380 S.W.3d 315, 324 (Tex, App.- Dallas 2012, no pet.). Plaintiff has not and cannot demonstrate that it procured a commercial loan of not less than $15,000,000. See Exhibit 1, Agreement; see also Exhibit 2, CLA. Defendants were entitled to the exact benefit of their bargain, and when Plaintiff failed to adequately perform, Defendants were excused from performing their contractual obligations as a matter of law. See Benson v. Haruell, 324 S.W.2d 620, 623 (Tex. Civ. App.-Fort Worth 1959, writ ref d n.r.e.) 18 Accordingly, for these reasons, Plaintiff s claim for breach of contract fails as a matter of law. RRnacn on Gu.rRaNrv: 19. To recover on a breach of a guaranty agreement, the plaintiff must prove: (1) the existence and ownership of the guaranty agreement; (2) the terms of the underlying contract by the holder; (3) the occurrence of the conditions upon which liability is based; and (4) the failure or refusal to perform the promise by the guarantor. Jain v. Plainscapital Bank,No. 10-15- 00396-CV,2017 Tex. App. LEXIS 3713, at *1 (Tex. App.-Waco Apr. 26,2017,no pet.) (citing Gold's Gym Franchising LLC v. Brewer,400 S.W.3d 156, 158 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2013, no pet.). 20 Plaintiff should take nothing by its breach of personal guaranty claim against Defendants because 1) there is no personal guaranty agreement between Plaintiff and Defendants, and DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PAGE | 7 2) even if such agreement existed, Plaintiff failed to perform the underlying condition of the contract that was allegedly guaranteed. 2l Plaintiff claims that "[u]nder the terms of the Agreement and the Conditional Loan Approval, Defendants became unconditionally liable for fully payment due to Plaintiff s performance of all obligations under the Agreement." See Plaintiff's Original Petition, at 4. But nothing the in Agreement between Plaintiff and Defendants constitutes a personal guaranty, and there is no other document constituting a personal guaranty between Plaintiff and Defendant ABDUL HASSANALLY. See generallyExhibit 1, Agreement; see also fl I l, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. The Agreement is silent as to any personal obligations undertaken by Defendant ABDUL HASSANALLY. See generallyExhibit 1, Agreement; see also fl 11, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. Moreover, the signature block on the Agreement clearly contemplates Defendant MOMENTUM as to the party to be bound: l ffiE) hereby acknou*$adge an# agre* tc,tt36 fih{\le fafffls, an# alitfi$i;B TCS +r'rts fnvs€tsre te sbiah any ffedit inf*ff$8tkn thet r*8y b€ r*qLrlred" l*x.;h* Fsrlqrb{rft fl,l*!*e, U,G ff nropeny {if irdict$ed}: lnd{vlduql .4$dd Jtuttodtf Borrar-r.rsrJFri n*fi El'$ Sigfrskrr€ ; 8*neruuafs Sigta{urie S,e'dul l!{6jid |*s**grallS Hgf?l€ Flnnt€dll f'{ea'n* F*lntsd fr,ara. rl /0sf?fi?1 See Exhibit 1, Agreement; see also fl 11, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit. Clearly, the Agreement is a contract between Plaintiff and Defendant MOMENTUM, not Defendant ABDUL HASSANALLY. See Exhibit 1, Agreement. Accordingly, Plaintiff cannot show the existence of any personal guaranty that would create individual liability as to Defendant ABDUL HASSANALLY. DEFENDANTS, MOTION FoR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PAGE | 8 22 Plaintiff further attempts to rely on the Conditional Loan Approval as a basis to support personal liability. See Plaintiff's Original Petition, at 4. While that document does refer to Defendant ABDUL HASSANALLY as a personal guarantor, it is not a binding contract, and Plaintiff is not aparty or owner of that agreement. See Exhibit2, CLA; see also fl 12, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit Accordingly, Plaintiff s breach of guaranty claims must fail. 23 Even if a personal guaranty agreement did exist, Plaintifls claims must fail because of Plaintiffs failure to perform its underlying contractual obligations as described hereinabove. Plaintiff must show "the occurrence of the conditions upon which liability is based." See Gold's Gym Franchising LLC v. Brewer,4O0 S.W.3d 156, 158 (Tex. App.- Dallas 2013, no pet.) Here, Plaintiff procured an insufficient loan for Defendants that never closed because of the lender's failure to perform, thus excusing any further contractual performance of Defendants. See Exhibit 1, Agreement; see also Exhibit2,CLA, see also !J 13, Exhibit A, Hassanally Affidavit There is no breach of the underlying Agreement, and no personal guaranty upon which Plaintiff can sue, which is fatal to Plaintiff s breach of guaranty claim. As such, Defendants are entitled to a take-nothing judgment as a matter of law. V. CONCLUSION 24 Simply put, Plaintiff is attempting to recover on a Contract which it did not perform and on a personal guaranty which does not exist. Plaintiff cannot promise to procure a loan of not less than $15,000,000, and then claim that its procured loan of $14,500,000 that never closed because of acts of the lender, and then claim adequate performance. Moreover, DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PAGE | 9 Plaintiff s addition of its breach of guaranty claim demonstrates the frivolous nature of this suit given the complete absence of any document relating to Plaintiff imputing personal liability to Defendant ABDUL HASSNALLY. For the reasons described hereinabove, Defendants request that this Court grant their Motion for Summary Judgment, and enter take-nothing judgment as to all claims asserted by the Plaintiff TREVOR COLE COMMERCIAL CORP. OF CT. u. PRAYER WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Defendants MOMENTUM FORT WORTH INVESTMENT, LLC and ABDUL M. HASSANALLY pray that the Court grant Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment, and enter a take-nothing judgment as to Plaintiff TREVOR COLE COMMERCIAL CORP. OF CT's claims, and for such other and further relief, at law or in equity, to which Defendants MOMENTUM FORT WORTH INVESTMENT, LLC and ABDUL M. HASSANALLY may show themselves to be justly entitled.
