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.
Title to Assets; Real Property (a) No member of the Company Group owns or has owned any Real Property. Each member of the Company Group has good and valid title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all Real Property and personal property and other assets reflected in the Annual Financial Statements or acquired after the Balance Sheet Date, other than properties and assets sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the Balance Sheet Date. All such properties and assets (including leasehold interests) are free and clear of Encumbrances except for the following (collectively referred to as “Permitted Encumbrances”):
(i) those items set forth in Section 3.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedules;
(ii) liens for Taxes not yet due and payable;
(iii) mechanics, carriers’, workmen’s, repairmen’s or other like liens arising or incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or amounts that are not delinquent and which are not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business of the Company Group;

With respect to leased Real Property, Seller has delivered or made available to Buyer true, complete and correct copies of any leases affecting the Real Property. The Company is not a sublessor or grantor under any sublease or other instrument granting to any other Person any right to the possession, lease, occupancy or enjoyment of any leased Real Property. The use and operation of the Real Property in the conduct of any member of the Company Group’s business do not violate in any material respect any Law, covenant, condition, restriction, easement, license, permit or agreement. No material improvements constituting a part of the Real Property encroach on real property owned or leased by a Person other than any member of the Company Group. There are no Actions pending nor, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein in the nature or in lieu of condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.
Title to Property and Encumbrances The Company has good and valid title to all properties and assets used in the conduct of its business (except for property held under valid and subsisting leases which are in full force and effect and which are not in default) free of all Liens except Permitted Liens and such ordinary and customary imperfections of title, restrictions and encumbrances as do not in the aggregate constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Real Property; Title to Assets (a) Section 3.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all real property owned by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Owned Real Property”).

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.
Title to Properties The Company does not own any real property. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent correct and complete copies of all leases, subleases and other agreements (collectively, the "Real Property Leases") under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries uses or occupies or has the right to use or occupy, now or in the future, any real property or facility (the "Leased Real Property"), including without limitation all modifications, amendments and supplements thereto. Except in each case where the failure would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect or except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has a valid leasehold interest in each parcel of Leased Real Property free and clear of all Liens except liens of record and other permitted liens and each Real Property Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) all rent and other sums and charges due and payable by the Company or its Subsidiaries as tenants thereunder are current in all material respects, (iii) no termination event or condition or uncured default of a material nature on the part of the Company or any such Subsidiary or, to the Knowledge of the Company or any such Subsidiary, the landlord, exists under any Real Property Lease, (iv) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is in actual possession of each Leased Real Property and is entitled to quiet enjoyment thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Real Property Lease and applicable law, and (v) the Company and its Subsidiaries own outright all of the personal property (except for leased property or assets for which it has a valid and enforceable right to use) which is reflected on the Balance Sheet, except for property since sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice and except for liens of record and other permitted liens. Except where the failure would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect, the plant, property and equipment of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are used in the operations of their businesses are in good operating condition and repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and, subject to normal maintenance, are available for use.
Title to Real Property (a) Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing (a "TITLE DEFECT NOTICE") no later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof of any mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances, reservations, encroachments, overlaps or other title defects related to any Real Property as to which Purchaser objects (the "TITLE DEFECTS"), provided that the Title Defects and the Title Defect Notice shall not include or refer to any Permitted Encumbrances. If Seller shall timely receive any Title Defect Notice with respect to any Real Property, then Seller shall, at its option and in its sole discretion, elect to take one of the following actions with respect to each Title Defect referenced in such Title Defect Notice: (1) cure or eliminate such Title Defect prior to the Closing, in which event the Closing shall proceed with respect to the Real Property subject to such Title Defect without any reduction in the applicable Property Price; (2) accept a reduction in the Property Price applicable to the Real Property subject to such Title Defect equal to any applicable Defect Reduction Amount to reflect the greater of the diminution in value (if any) resulting from such Title Defect or the cost of curing such Title Defect, if applicable, as determined pursuant to Section 2.8; or (3) lease to Purchaser the Real Property subject to such Title Defect in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c); provided, however, that if Seller chooses to rely upon clause (3) and any such Title Defect interferes in any material respect with the use of the applicable Real Property operated in the manner in which it is currently operated, then Purchaser shall not be obligated to lease the Real Property subject to such Title Defect and Purchaser shall have the option to elect either (i) to cause Seller to elect clause (1) with respect to such Real Property or (ii) to not acquire such Real Property and not pay the Property Price applicable to such Real Property. For purposes of this Section 2.4, a Title Defect shall be deemed to have been "cured" or "eliminated" if title insurance coverage or a bond reasonably acceptable to Purchaser shall have been obtained against such Title Defect.
(b) Purchaser shall have the right to obtain an updated title search or survey not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date to determine whether any title changes may have arisen between the effective date of the applicable title commitment and such update (an "UPDATED TITLE REPORT"). If such Updated Title Report indicates that any Title Defects have been placed of record in respect of any Real Property since the effective date of the applicable title commitment, then Purchaser shall have the right to provide Seller a Title Defect Notice in respect thereof not more than five (5) Business Days following Purchaser's receipt of such Updated Title Report, and thereafter Seller shall have the right to address such Title Defect Notice in the same manner as is set forth in Section 2.4(a) with respect to Title Defect Notices received by Seller within sixty (60) days after the date hereof (by electing to cure the Title Defect in question, accept a reduction in the applicable Property Price or lease the Real Property in question, all as more particularly set forth in Section 2.4(a)).
(c) If pursuant to Section 2.4(a), Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.5(c), Seller leases to Purchaser any Real Property that is subject to a Title Defect or a Material Adverse Environmental Condition (as the case may be, a "DEFECT"), then Seller shall lease such Real Property to Purchaser, on a triple net basis, at existing market rents for a term of three (3) years commencing at the Closing pursuant to a lease substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(c). The parties agree that, if they cannot agree upon the "existing market rent" to be payable for any such Real Property under any such lease, then such "existing market rent" shall be determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser selected in the manner set forth in Section 2.8 below, with the cost of such appraisal to be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller. The "existing market rent" applicable to any such lease shall be the rent that a willing tenant would pay to lease the Real Property in question on the terms set forth above for use as a bank branch. If any Real Property is leased to Purchaser pursuant to this provision, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Property Price attributable to such Real Property, but if Seller cures or eliminates the Defect related thereto to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction at any time during the term of such lease, then Purchaser shall promptly thereafter purchase such Real Property according to the applicable provisions hereof and pay Seller the Property Price for such Real Property (without interest thereon and less any lease payments made by Purchaser to Seller with respect to such Real Property) at the time of transfer of title thereto to Purchaser.
