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.
Title to Properties; Leases Except as indicated on Schedule 7.3 hereto, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries own all of the assets reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the Balance Sheet Date or acquired since that date (except property and assets sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business since that date), subject to no rights of others, including any mortgages, leases, conditional sales agreements, title retention agreements, liens or other encumbrances except Permitted Liens.
Real Estate Leases (a) Neither BGH Holdings nor BRH Holdings leases any real estate. Seller does not own or lease any real estate used in connection with the businesses of BGH Holdings, BRH Holdings, or the Companies.
(b) Schedule 4.16 sets forth a list of all of the leases or rights of occupancy pursuant to which the Companies (or any of them) lease or sublease any real property or interest therein (collectively, the "Leases"), including the identification of each of the Lessors thereof and the street addresses of the real estate demised under any of the Leases (collectively, the "Leased Real Estate"). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, one or more of the Companies is the lessee under all Leases, and no party other than one or more of the Companies has any right to possession, occupancy or use of any of the Leased Real Estate.

Each of the Leases is valid and is in full force and effect and is binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equitable principles. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, none of the Companies is in default (after expiration of applicable cure or grace periods) under any provision of any of the Leases, the failure of which to perform would permit the lessor thereunder to terminate such Lease, and, to Seller's knowledge, no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would render any of the Companies in default under any of such provisions which default would permit the lessor thereunder to terminate such Lease. To the knowledge of Seller, BRH Holdings, BGH Holdings, or the Companies, no other party to any of the Leases is in default under any of the material commitments and obligations thereof, and no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would render any such other party in default under any of such provisions.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the Companies are in actual possession of the Leased Real Estate. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the Companies have good and valid title to all the leasehold estates conveyed under the Leases free and clear of all Liens except for (i) (A) those provided under the relevant lease; (B) matters shown on Schedule 4.16; and (C) defects of title, conditions, easements, covenants or restrictions, if any, none of which items referred to clauses (A), (B) or (C) above is substantial in amount, and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially impairs or grants or evidences rights which, if exercised, would materially impair the current use of the affected property in the manner such property is currently being used by the Companies, or impairs the operations of any of the Companies; (ii) zoning or land use ordinances, none of which, to Seller's knowledge, individually or in the aggregate, materially impairs the use of the affected property in the manner such property is currently being used, or impairs the current operations of any of the Companies; and (iii) liens for taxes not yet due and payable (iv) any mortgage liens granted by any lessor under any of the Leases of the lessor's interest in the underlying real estate or the Leases. To Seller's knowledge, none of the Companies has received written notice of any violation of or non-conformity with any zoning, subdivision, wetlands or other similar law, code, rule, regulation or ordinance from any governmental authority with respect to any of the Leased Real Estate, or of any condemnation action, eminent domain proceeding or other litigation concerning any of such properties.
(d) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the basic rent, all additional rent and all other charges and amounts payable under the Leases have been paid to date and not more than one month in advance. All work required to be performed under the Leases by the landlords thereunder or by any of the Companies have been performed, and, to the extent that any of the Companies is responsible for payment of such work, has been fully paid for, whether directly to the contractor performing such work or to such landlord as reimbursement therefor, except for items which any of the Companies is disputing in good faith (which items are set forth in Schedule 4.16).
(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, there are no brokerage commissions or finder's fees due from Seller or any of the Companies which are unpaid with regard to any of the Leases or the Leased Real Estate or which will become due at any time in the future with regard to the Leases or the Leased Real Estate.
(f) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, there have been no casualties which are reasonably likely to result in the termination of any of the Leases or the exercise of any buy-out provision contained in any of the Leases relative to damage by casualty.
(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, (i) no consent of any of the lessors under any of the Leases is required by reason of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) none of the rights of any of the Companies under any of the Leases will be impaired by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all of such rights will be enforceable by the Companies after the Closing Date without the consent or agreement of any other party, including all rights to purchase any of the Leased Real Estate or to renew any of the Leases pursuant to options to purchase or renew contained in any of the Leases. Any lessor under any of the Leases whose consent or agreement is required is identified as such on Schedule 4.16.
Title to Real and Personal Property The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple (in the case of real property) to, or have valid and marketable rights to lease or otherwise use, all items of real and personal property and assets that are material to the respective businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims and defects and imperfections of title except those that (i) do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its subsidiaries or (ii) could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

All Material leases are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

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.

Real Property; Leasehold (a) No Acquired Corporation owns any, nor has any Acquired Corporation ever owned any, real property, nor is any Acquired Corporation party to, or bound by, any Contract to purchase or sell any real property.
(b) Part 3.8(b) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of each lease, sublease or other Contract pursuant to which any of the Acquired Corporations leases real property from any other Person (such leases, subleases or other Contracts required to be listed thereon, the “Company Leases”). (All real property leased to the Acquired Corporations, including all buildings, structures, fixtures and other improvements leased to the Acquired Corporations, is referred to as the “Leased Real Property”). The present use and operation of the Leased Real Property is authorized by, and is in compliance in all material respects with, all applicable zoning, land use, building, fire, health, labor, safety and Environmental Laws and other Legal Requirements. There is no Legal Proceeding pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, that challenges or adversely affects, or would challenge or adversely affect, the continuation of the present ownership, use or operation of any Leased Real Property. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no existing plan or study by any Governmental Body or by any other Person that challenges or otherwise adversely affects the continuation of the present ownership, use or operation of any Leased Real Property. There are no subleases, licenses, occupancy agreements or other contractual obligations that grant the right of use or occupancy of any of the Leased Real Property to any Person other than the Acquired Corporations, and there is no Person in possession of any of the Leased Real Property other than the Acquired Corporations. Each of the Acquired Corporations has complied in all material respects with the terms of all Company Leases relating to the Leased Real Property, and all such Company Leases are in full force and effect in all material respects. To the knowledge of the Company, the Leased Real Property is in good operating condition and repair. The Company has Made Available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of all Company Leases. No Acquired Corporation is party to any Contract or, to the knowledge of the Company, subject to any claim that may require the payment of any real estate brokerage commissions, and no commission is owed with respect to any of the Leased Real Property. The Leased Real Property constitutes all real property used in or necessary to conduct the business of each Acquired Corporation as currently being conducted.
Real Estate Matters (a) Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may order title policy Commitments (the “Commitments”) to be issued by a title company reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the “Title Company”), accompanied by copies of all recorded documents relating to restrictions, easements, rights-of-way, and other matters affecting the Fee Owned Property or the leased Restaurant locations that are not located in lifestyle centers, office developments, condominium developments or major retail developments (the “Leased Locations”). The Commitments will commit the Title Company to issue at the Closing, ALTA form of Title Insurance Policies to Purchaser, such policies to be in an amount as determined jointly by Purchaser and the Title Company and with such endorsements as are requested by Purchaser. Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may also obtain one of more surveys of the Fee Owned Property and the Leased Locations at Purchaser’s expense (the “Surveys”). Purchaser shall promptly, but not later than forty five (45) days following the date of this Agreement, notify the Seller in writing of objections to the condition of title set forth in the Commitments or on the Surveys which materially affect the merchantability of 1245 Properties’ title or the use of the Fee Owned Property or Seller’s use of the Leased Locations as presently utilized and do not constitute Permitted Liens (the “Title Objections”).
(b) Seller may voluntarily undertake to eliminate any and all of the Title Objections to the satisfaction of Purchaser, but the Seller is under no obligation to do so. If, however, the Seller elects not to, or cannot, eliminate the Title Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser prior to the Closing Date and the Title Objections constitute a Material Adverse Effect, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, within five (5) business days following Seller’s notice that it will not or cannot eliminate such Title Objections, pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof without further liability to Purchaser or Seller. If the Title Objections do not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, Purchaser’s obligation to close shall nevertheless remain subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 including Section 8.1(g).
(c) All title matters shown on the Commitments and the Surveys which are not the subject of Title Objections shall be deemed to be Permitted Liens. Further, if Purchaser makes any Title Objections which Seller elects not to, or cannot, cure, and Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing on the Closing Date, such Title Objections shall likewise be deemed Permitted Liens.
Title to Properties; Encumbrances The Company does not currently own, nor has it ever owned (a) any real property, (b) any leasehold interests or (c) any buildings, plants, structures and/or equipment. 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.
