Title Matters. |
|
(a) Title Defects. As used herein, the term “Title Defect” shall mean any lien, encumbrance, defect or failure of Seller’s ownership of all or a portion of the Property that causes Seller not to have Defensible Title. As used herein, the term “Defensible Title” shall mean title to the Property (on a Property-by-Property basis) that: |
|
(i) entitles Seller to receive not less than the net revenue interest for each of the Xxxxx, as set forth in Exhibit B; |
|
(ii) obligates Seller to bear not more than the working interest for each of the Xxxxx, as set forth in Exhibit B; and |
|
(iii) is free and clear of all mortgages, liens, encumbrances and defects, other than such that would not materially interfere with operations of the Property. |
|
(b) Notice of Title Defects. If Buyer determines that all or a portion of the Property is subject to any Title Defect, then Buyer may deliver to Seller written notice of such Title Defects on or before the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to cure any asserted Title Defects until before three (3) days prior to the Closing Date. |
|
(c) Title Defect Amount. If any Title Defect is not cured or removed prior to delivery of the Settlement Statement by Buyer and Buyer does not waive such Title Defect, then the Purchase Price payable at Closing by Buyer shall be reduced pursuant to Section 3(b)(iv) by an amount equal to the following (the “Title Defect Amount”): |
|
(i) if Buyer and Seller agree on the amount, then that amount shall be the Title Defect Amount; |
|
(ii) if the Title Defect represents a decrease in (A) the actual net revenue interest for any Well, below (B) the net revenue interest set forth in Exhibit B for such Well (and there is a corresponding decrease in the working interest for such Well below the working interest set forth in Exhibit B), then the Title Defect Amount shall be the product of (y) the Allocated Value of such Well multiplied by (z) one (1), minus a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual net revenue interest for such Well and the denominator of which is the net revenue interest for such Well set forth in Exhibit B; |
|
(iii) if the Title Defect consists of a lien, encumbrance or other charge that is |
4
undisputed and liquidated in amount, the Title Defect Amount shall be the undisputed and liquidated amount necessary to be paid to remove the Title Defect; and |
|
(iv) if the Title Defect is of a type not described above in subsections (i) through (iii), the Title Defect Amount shall be an amount that fairly and reasonably compensates Buyer for such Title Defect. |
Provided, however, that in the event Seller and Buyer cannot agree on Title Defect Amount, then the amounts shall be resolved by a dispute resolution process using a single impartial arbitrator, with at least ten (10) years’ experience in oil and gas title issues, to be selected by agreement of Seller and Buyer, or, in the event Buyer and Seller cannot agree on an arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be selected by the Dallas office of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s decision as to the Title Defect Amount shall be final and not appealable. Buyer and Seller shall each bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in such arbitration. Such arbitration shall be conducted in Fort Worth, Texas. Once appointed, the arbitrator shall not have any ex parte communications with any of the affected parties.
|
(d) Removal of Title Defect Property. In the event any Title Defect Amount for a Property subject to a Title Defect, as determined by Section 7(c) above, exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the Allocated Value associated with such Property, Buyer shall have the right to remove such Property from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and reduce the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value of such Property by providing written notice to Seller prior to Closing. |
|
