Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the indemnification provided under clause (a) of this Section 8.2 (other than in respect of the breach or inaccuracy of Sections 3.2, 3.5, 3.8 and 3.23 of this Agreement, to which the Seller Deductible shall not apply) and for purposes of the Litigation Indemnity provided for in the Special Indemnity, the Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees until such time, if any, as, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of the Losses arising out of all such breaches exceeds $2,500,000 (the "Seller Deductible"); provided, further, that (i) for the purposes of the indemnification provided in clause (a) of this Section 8.2, the obligation of Seller to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Losses relating to breach of any representation or warranty relating to any Joint Venture, shall be limited to the amount of such Loss multiplied by a percentage equal to the Minerals Group's percentage ownership interest in such Joint Venture as set forth in Schedule 3.23, and (ii) for purposes of the indemnification provided in clause (a) of this Section 8.2 (other than in respect of the breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.5, 3.8 and 3.23, to which no limitation on the amount of indemnification shall apply) and for purposes of the Litigation Indemnity provided for in the Special Indemnity, the obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be limited to indemnification in an aggregate amount equal to (x) $130,000,000 less (y) an amount equal to 50% of the Cash Adjustment at Closing.

For illustrative purposes, in determining whether indemnification is available for breach of a representation set forth in the first sentence of Section 3.26 (Compliance with Applicable Law), the first sentence of Section 3.26 would be deemed to read in its entirety as follows: "The Company and its Subsidiaries hold all Permits with and under Applicable Law which are required to carry on the Business as presently conducted." For the purposes of the indemnification provided for in clause (a) of this Section 8.2 to which the Seller Deductible applies, and for purposes of the Litigation Indemnity set forth in the Specified Indemnity, only those single claims for indemnification in excess of $100,000 (but the entire amounts of such claims, and not just the portions in excess of $100,000) shall be counted toward the Seller Deductible. In the event of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies for such breach available to it under the provisions of this Agreement, whether at law or equity, regardless of any Knowledge of, disclosure to, or investigation made by or on behalf of, the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Seller specifically discloses to the Purchaser in writing, prior to the Closing, pursuant to Section 5.17 hereof or otherwise, a breach of a representation or warranty which would have or be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and so cause the condition to the Purchaser's obligation to effect the Closing set forth in Section 6.7 hereof not to be satisfied and the Purchaser nonetheless chooses to proceed with the Closing, then (i) the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the conditions to the Purchaser's obligation to effect the Closing set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.7 and 6.8(a) which would otherwise fail to be satisfied as a result of such breach and (ii) the Seller shall have no obligation under the indemnification provided in clause (a) of this Section 8.2 to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of such breach.
