THE AWARD, THE EARNEST MONEY SUBMITTED BY THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER

The properties will be conveyed by Special Warranty Deed, and will be subject to reversion to LISD in the event the properties are used for purposes of establishment or operation of a segregated school system, as required by United States v. Texas, Civil Order No. 5281, (E.D. Tex., August 9 and 15, 1973). Buyers may submit an alternative reversionary clause in accordance with the terms of the Order.

The Special Warranty Deed to be delivered to the successful bidder will have a more expansive exception to conveyance and warranty confirming acceptance by the successful bidder/purchaser of the property and improvements, in an “AS
IS” AND “WHERE IS,” “WITH ANY AND ALL LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS AND
FAULTS” basis.
