The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have received all deeds, assignments, waivers, consents, non-disturbance and recognition or similar agreements, bills of sale and other documents, and have duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to all such property, other than those that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. (b) Set forth on Schedule 5.19(b) is a complete and accurate list, as of the Closing Date, of all (i) owned Real Property located in the United States with a reasonably estimated Fair Market Value in excess of $3,000,000 showing, as of the Closing Date, the street address, county (or other relevant jurisdiction or state) and the record owner thereof and (ii) leased Real Property located in the United States with annual lease payments in excess of $1,000,000 showing, as of the Closing Date, the street address and county (or other relevant jurisdiction or state) thereof.

As of the Closing Date, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area as designated by any federal Governmental Authority other than those for which flood insurance has been provided in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(iii). (d) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Loan Party has obtained and holds all Permits required in respect of all Real Property and for any other property otherwise operated by or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, such person and for the operation of each of its businesses as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (ii) all such Permits are in full force and effect, and each Loan Party has performed and observed all requirements of such Permits, (iii) no event has occurred that allows or results in, or after notice or lapse of time would allow or result in, revocation or termination by the issuer thereof or in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, (iv) no such Permits contain any restrictions, either individually or in the aggregate, that are materially burdensome to any Loan Party, or to the operation of any of its businesses or any property owned, leased or otherwise operated by such person, (v) each Loan Party reasonably believes that each of its Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense, and that any additional Permits that may be required of such Person will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense and (vi) the Borrower has no knowledge or reason to believe that any Governmental Authority is considering limiting, suspending, revoking or renewing on materially burdensome terms any such Permit.

(g) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any material portion of the owned Real Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to such owned Real Property that may result in such special or other assessments, other than those that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

• Title Review (a) On or after the Effective Date, Purchaser may order (i) a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from Land Services USA, Inc., as agent for (x) First American Title Insurance Company, (y) such other nationally recognized title insurance company mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser or (z) an alternate title insurance company (or alternate office) selected by Seller pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (the “Title Company”), together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and documents referred to therein as exceptions to title, and (ii) a survey of the Property from a reputable surveyor or surveying firm reasonably acceptable to the Title Company (the “Survey”) reflecting the total area of the Property, the location of all improvements, recorded easements and encroachments, if any, located thereon and all building and set back lines and plottable matters of record with respect thereto. (b) Prior to the Expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller of any title matters, other than Permitted Exceptions, identified in the Title Commitment or shown on the Survey (or any supplements or updates thereto) which Purchaser finds objectionable (“Title Objections”). Seller shall have 5 Business Days from its receipt of such title objection notice from Purchaser to notify Purchaser whether Seller commits to cause such Title Objections to be removed from the land records or insured over (and with any such matters proposed to be insured over by the Title Company) at Closing, provided, however that Seller shall be obligated to remove or cause the removal from the land records of all Monetary Liens at or prior to Closing. Any matters set forth in the Title Commitment or Survey and not so objected to by Purchaser (other than Monetary Liens) shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. If, for any reason, Seller is unable or unwilling to take such actions as may be required to remedy or remove from the land records any Title Objections (other than Monetary Liens) objected to by Purchaser, Seller shall give Purchaser notice thereof, it being understood and agreed that the failure of Seller to give such notice within 5 Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remedy any such matters. If Seller shall be unable or unwilling to remedy any Title Objections (other than Monetary Liens) as to which Purchaser has objected, Purchaser may elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller within 5 Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or (ii) to proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, notwithstanding such matters and without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof. If any matter arises that was not previously disclosed in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (as same may have been updated), is discovered by Purchaser or by the Title Company and is added to such Title Commitment by the Title Company at or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary) after Purchaser’s receipt of such updated Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (each a “New Objection”, and collectively, the “New Objections”). If Seller does not elect to remove or cure New Objections prior to Closing (other than Monetary Liens, which Seller shall be obligated to cure), which such election shall be given by notice to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice setting forth such New Objections, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, either (i) agree to accept title subject to the exceptions which Seller is unable to remove or cause to be removed (in which case such exceptions shall be considered Permitted Exceptions) or (ii) terminate this Agreement, and in the latter event the Deposit and accrued interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter, except for those obligations herein which are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further right, liability or obligation under this Agreement. (c) In connection with the issuance of an ALTA 15-06 endorsement to the Title Policy at Closing, in the event that the Title Company is unable or unwilling to issue an ALTA 15-06 endorsement to the Title Policy at Closing upon terms and conditions acceptable to Seller, Seller shall have a one-time right (but not the obligation) to elect that the Title Policy be issued by an alternate title insurance company (or an alternate office of the Title Company) selected by Seller from the list of title insurance companies set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) attached hereto. In the event Seller so elects, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser stating Seller’s election, Purchaser shall engage the alternate title insurance company (or alternate office of the Title Company, as applicable) selected by Seller for the purpose of issuing the Title Policy and Seller shall be responsible for 50% of any additional search and exam fees resulting from Seller’s exercise of its rights set forth in this Section 2.2(c).

• 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.
