Remedies for Environmental Defects. Subject to SM’s continuing right to dispute the existence of an Environmental Defect or the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto and subject to the Individual Environmental Threshold and the Aggregate Deductible, in the event that any Environmental Defect timely asserted by Mitsui in accordance with Section 5.1(a) is not waived in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or cured on or before the Defect Remedy Date, the Parties shall mutually elect to: (i) reduce the Carried Cost Obligation by the Remediation Amount for such Environmental Defect; or (ii) have SM indemnify and hold harmless Mitsui against all Liability resulting from such Environmental Defect and Remediation with respect to the Conveyed Interests pursuant to an indemnity agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K to the Agreement; provided that, in each case of alternative (i) or (ii) above, the Environmental Defect Property shall be conveyed to Mitsui at Closing. In the event that the Parties do not agree in writing by the Defect Remedy Date on an election of alternative (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Environmental Defect properly asserted by Mitsui in accordance with Section 5.1(a), they shall be deemed to have elected alternative (i), provided that if the existence of an Environmental Defect or the Remediation Amount asserted with respect thereto is disputed, no adjustment to the Carried Cost Obligation shall be implemented until the dispute is resolved pursuant to Section 5.1(f) (but this suspension of any adjustment shall not extend the Defect Remedy Date).
