(b) No Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.1 in respect of an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty until such time as the Losses of all Purchaser Indemnitees exceed Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (“Seller’s Basket”) in the aggregate; provided that all claims by Purchaser Indemnitees for indemnification shall accrue in the aggregate until the Losses of all Purchaser Indemnitees exceed the Seller’s Basket, and thereupon Seller shall become obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for the amount by which all such Losses exceed Seller’s Basket.
