Remedies for Uncured Title Defects. If W&T notifies KMG of any Title Defect as provided in Section 5.6.2, and KMG refuses or is unable to cure the Title Defect before Closing, then W&T and KMG will have the following rights and remedies with respect to the uncured Title Defect(s) in the Property, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. (i) W&T may waive the uncured Title Defect and proceed with Closing without adjustment to the Base Merger Consideration. (ii) KMG may elect to retain the affected portion of the Property and cause KMG Sub to reconvey such portion of the Property to KMG prior to the Closing. In such case, the Title Defect Value for such portion of the Property for purposes of clause (iii) below shall be the Agreed Value. (iii) If the collective Title Defect Values of uncured, unwaived Title Defects are less than or equal to 1.5% of the Base Merger Consideration (the “TD Deductible Amount”), KMG and W&T will be obligated to proceed with Closing without curative action by KMG with respect to such Title Defects and without adjustment to the Base Merger Consideration. (iv) If the collective Title Defect Values of uncured, unwaived Title Defects exceeds the TD Deductible Amount, the Base Merger Consideration will be reduced by the amount of the collective Title Defect Values in excess of the TD Deductible Amount, in which case the parties will be obligated to proceed with Closing without curative action by KMG.
