Related to Condition of Ownership Interests and Properties

• Ownership Interests The ownership interest of each member of the Company will be expressed in terms of a percentage that is set out in Exhibit A, attached and made part of this Agreement. The total ownership interests of all members will always equal one-hundred percent (100%). The existing members will determine the ownership interest of any new members prior to admission to the Company.

• Leasehold Interests Each lease or agreement to which the Company is a party under which it is a lessee of any property, real or personal, is a valid and subsisting agreement without any default of the Company thereunder and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, without any default thereunder of any other party thereto. No event has occurred and is continuing which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or event of default by the Company under any such lease or agreement or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, by any other party thereto. The Company's possession of such property has not been disturbed and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no claim has been asserted against the Company adverse to its rights in such leasehold interests.

• Real Property Interests (a) The Owner has provided, or upon execution of this Agreement shall promptly provide to the Developer, documentation acceptable to the Department indicating any right, title or interest in real property claimed by the Owner with respect to the Owner Utilities in their existing location(s). Such claims are subject to the Department’s approval as part of its review of the Utility Assembly as described in Paragraph 2. Claims approved by the Department as to rights or interests are referred to herein as “Existing Interests”. (b) If acquisition of any new easement or other interest in real property (“New Interest”) is necessary for the Adjustment of any Owner Utilities, then the Owner shall be responsible for undertaking such acquisition. The Owner shall implement each acquisition hereunder expeditiously so that related Adjustment construction can proceed in accordance with the Developer’s Project schedules. The Developer shall be responsible for the actual and reasonable acquisition costs of any such New Interest (including without limitation the Owner’s reasonable overhead charges and legal costs as well as compensation paid to the landowner), excluding any costs attributable to Betterment as described in Paragraph 16(c), and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 16(e); provided, however, that all acquisition costs shall be subject to the Developer’s prior written approval. Eligible acquisition costs shall be segregated from other costs on the Owner's estimates and invoices. Any such New Interest shall have a written valuation and shall be acquired in accordance with applicable law. (c) A New Interest shall be substantially equivalent (e.g., in width and type) to the Existing Interest being replaced, unless a New Interest exceeding such standard (i) is required in order to accommodate the Project or by compliance with applicable law, or (ii) is called for by the Developer in the interest of overall Project economy. Any New Interest that does not meet the requirements of the preceding sentence shall be considered a Betterment to the extent that it upgrades the Existing Interest which it replaces, or in its entirety if the related Owner Utility was not installed pursuant to an Existing Interest. Betterment costs shall be solely the Owner’s responsibility. (d) For each Existing Interest located within the final Project right of way, upon completion of the related Adjustment work and its acceptance by the Owner, the Owner agrees to execute a quitclaim deed or other appropriate documentation relinquishing such Existing Interest to the Department, unless the affected Owner Utility is remaining in its original location or is being reinstalled in a new location within the area subject to such Existing Interest. All quitclaim deeds or other relinquishment documents shall be subject to the Department's approval as part of its review of the Utility Assembly as described in Paragraph 2. For each such Existing Interest relinquished by the Owner, the Developer shall do one of the following to compensate the Owner for such Existing Interest, as appropriate: (i) If the Owner acquires a New Interest for the affected Owner Utility, the Developer shall reimburse the Owner for its actual and reasonable acquisition costs in accordance with Paragraph 16(b); or (ii) If the Owner does not acquire a New Interest for the affected Owner Utility, the Developer shall compensate the Owner for the fair market value of such relinquished Existing Interest, as mutually agreed between the Owner and the Developer and supported by a written valuation. The compensation provided to the Owner pursuant to either subparagraph (i) or subparagraph (ii) above shall constitute complete compensation to the Owner for the relinquished Existing Interest, and no further compensation shall be due to the Owner from either the Developer or the Department on account of such Existing Interest. (e) The Owner shall execute a Utility Joint Use Acknowledgment (TxDOT-U-80A) for each Adjusted Owner Utility where required pursuant to TxDOT policies. All Utility Joint Use Acknowledgments shall be subject to TxDOT approval as part of its review of the Utility Assembly as described in Paragraph 2.

Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all (A) the Assets that the Company purports to own, including all of the properties and assets reflected in the Balance Sheet (except for assets held under capitalized leases disclosed or not required to be disclosed in Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule and personal property sold since the date of the Balance Sheet, as the case may be, in the Ordinary Course of Business), and (B) all of the properties and assets purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company since the date of the Balance Sheet (except for personal property acquired and sold since the date of the Balance Sheet in the Ordinary Course of Business and consistent with past practice), which subsequently purchased or acquired properties and assets (other than inventory and short-term investments) are listed in Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule. The Company is the sole owner and has good and marketable title (or leasehold title, as the case may be) to the Assets free and clear of all Encumbrances, and the Assets reflected in the Balance Sheet are free and clear of all Encumbrances and are not, in the case of real property, subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except, with respect to all such properties and assets, (i) mortgages or security interests shown on the Balance Sheet as securing specified liabilities or obligations, with respect to which no default (or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, (ii) mortgages or security interests incurred in connection with the purchase of property or assets after the date of the Balance Sheet (such mortgages and security interests being limited to the property or assets so acquired), with respect to which no default (or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, (iii) liens for current taxes not yet due, and (iv) Encumbrances pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (as defined below) or the Facility Agreement and (v) Encumbrances incurred in the Ordinary Course of the Business, consistent with past practice, or created by the express provisions of the Contracts, each of the type identified on Part 3.6 of the Seller Parties Disclosure Schedule (together, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). All such assets are suitable for the uses to which they are being put or have been put in the Ordinary Course of Business and are in good working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Each Company Real Property Lease is, and after giving effect to the Distribution will be, valid, binding and in full force and effect, subject to the limitation of such enforcement by the Remedies Exceptions. No uncured default of a material nature on the part of the Company or, if applicable, its Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company, the landlord or sublandlord thereunder (as applicable), exists under any Company Real Property Lease, and no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute a material breach or default under a Company Real Property Lease.

(b) There are no leases, subleases, licenses, rights or other agreements affecting any portion of the Company Owned Real Property or the Company Leased Real Property that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the existing use of such Company Owned Real Property or the Company Leased Real Property by the Company or its Subsidiaries in the operation of its business thereon.
