For purposes of clarity the Sellers shall have right of contribution against other Sellers pursuant to a contribution agreement to be entered into among the Sellers. (vii) With respect to claims for Losses under Section 9.01(a)(v), Sellers will not be liable for any such Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses under Section 9.01(v) exceeds $ [**********] at which point the Sellers shall become liable for-all Losses under Section 9.01(a)(v) which exceed such amount; provided that this limitation shall not apply to claims based on fraud, intentional or knowing ’misrepresentation or willful breach.
