Except for the FF&E subject to the FF&E Leases and any applicable Permitted Exceptions, to Seller’s knowledge, Seller has good and marketable title to the Personal Property, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances or other rights whatsoever (other than the Seller Liens which must be released at Closing), and there are no other liens, claims, encumbrances or other rights pending or of which any Seller Party has received notice or which are otherwise known to any Seller Party related to any other Personal Property.
Remedies for Title Defects (a) With respect to each Title Defect that Seller does not cure on or before the Closing, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.05, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Title Defect Value agreed upon in writing by Buyer and Seller or, if Buyer agrees, Seller shall indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 14.04 against all costs which Buyer may incur in connection with such Title Defect.

(b) Except for those affected Assets which Seller elects to exclude from this transaction pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(ii), if on or before Closing the Parties have not agreed upon the validity of any asserted Title Defect or have not agreed on the Title Defect Value attributable thereto, either Party shall have the right to elect to have the validity of such Title Defect and/or such Title Defect Value determined by an Independent Expert pursuant to Section 16.03; provided that if the validity of any asserted Title Defect, or the Title Defect Value attributable thereto, is not determined before Closing, the affected Asset shall be excluded from the sale and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of such affected Asset as set forth on Exhibit C. Upon resolution of such dispute, the Allocated Value of that Asset less the Title Defect Value, if any, found to be attributable to such Title Defect shall, subject to this Section 3.05, be paid by Buyer to Seller and the Asset conveyed to Buyer, if that is part of the mutually agreed settlement.

Copies of Documents Relating to Title Exceptions Copies of all recorded documents listed as exceptions to title or otherwise referred to in the Additional Mortgage Policy or title report delivered pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above;
Title and Survey Matters 4.1 As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a standard owner's policy of title insurance issued by the Title Insurer/Escrow Agent ("TITLE POLICY"). The Title Policy shall insure marketable title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and exceptions whatsoever, save and except only for those easements, restrictions and other matters of record affecting title to the Property which are Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
4.2 Purchaser shall have until the end of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined) in which to review the title commitment and as-built survey to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1, and to obtain any modifications, endorsements or other revisions to either the title commitment or the survey required by Purchaser, at Purchaser's cost. If Purchaser is unable to obtain any modification, endorsement or other revision to the title commitment or survey required by Purchaser, or if any items remain on the title commitment or survey which are not acceptable to Purchaser ("UNPERMITTED EXCEPTIONS"), then on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall so notify Seller (an "OBJECTION NOTICE"). Seller has a period of ten (10) days after the date of the Objection Notice in which Seller, using good faith efforts, shall attempt to remove such Unpermitted Matters or remedy same in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, or have the Title Insurer/Escrow Agent commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such exceptions (in endorsements satisfactory to Purchaser). If Seller does not cure any Unpermitted Exceptions to Purchaser's satisfaction within such period, then Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller of such termination not later than five (5) days following the end of the ten (10) day cure period, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder or (b) accept such Unpermitted Exceptions. Any item not specified in the Objection Notice or subsequently accepted by Purchaser shall be a "PERMITTED EXCEPTION". Seller shall be obligated to remove prior to Closing all mortgages and other liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable monetary amount, and if Seller fails to do so, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement. At the Closing, and as a further condition of Purchaser's performance of its obligations hereunder, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer/Escrow Agent to deliver to Purchaser the Title Policy or a marked-up and signed commitment to deliver same.
Special Warranty of Title Seller shall warrant and defend the title to the Properties conveyed to Buyer against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming the Properties or any part thereof by, through or under Seller or its Affiliate, but not otherwise.
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.
