(iii) No Transferor shall not have any obligation or liability under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(a)(v) unless and until the aggregate amount of the Damages suffered by the NGL Indemnified Parties for which the NGL Indemnified Parties are entitled to Indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) and Section 7.2(a)(v) of this Agreement and/or the Affiliate Transfer Agreements exceeds, collectively, $250,000 in the aggregate (the “Transferor Basket”); provided, however, that (A) once the aggregate amount of such Damages suffered exceeds the Transferor Basket, Transferor Transferors shall be obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties for all such Damages (not only the amounts that exceed the Transferor Basket); (B) for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred under Article III, such representations and warranties shall be read and interpreted as if the words “Material Adverse Effect,” “in all material respects” and other materiality qualifications were not contained therein; and (C) in no event shall Transferor Transferors be liable for any single claim for indemnification (or group of related claims) which is equal to or less than $10,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Transferor Basket nor the Minimum Claim Amount shall be applicable to any breach of a Fundamental Representation or a claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation. (iv) Such Transferor shall be obligated to indemnify the NGL Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) only for those claims giving rise to Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties as to which an NGL Indemnified Party has given Representative written notice prior to the end of the applicable Survival Period, if any. Any written notice delivered by an NGL Indemnified Party to Representative with respect to Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties shall set forth with as much specificity as is reasonably practicable the basis of the claim for Damages of the NGL Indemnified Parties and, to the extent reasonably practicable, a reasonable estimate of the amount of Damages incurred (or reasonably likely to be incurred by the NGL Indemnified Party but for the passage of time). (v) [Intentionally Blank]. (vi) Transferor Transferors shall have no indemnification obligation under Section 7.2(a) with respect to any Damages to the extent that such Damages were included as a liability in the computation of Final Net Working Capital or were taken into account in determining the Final Cost Adjustments, and all such Damages shall be disregarded in determining the applicability of the Transferor Basket. (vii) No Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent of any loss that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined in a final, nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnified Party. The Transferor’s indemnification obligations under Article VII are subject to HSE’s the general duty of mitigation of HSE and HST under applicable Law.
