If, on Finalization, the Purchaser shall not have previously made any claim or claims under the Seller’s Warranties, the Retention Sum shall be paid from the Purchaser’s lender to the Seller. If, on Finalization, the Deficit is less than the Retention Sum, then the amount by which the Retention Sum exceeds the Deficit shall be paid by the Purchaser’s lender to the Seller.

7.13.

The determination as to whether a warranty under this Agreement has been breached as well as the amount of the shortfall or loss attributable to the breach of the warranty, shall be made by an independent party agreed to by the parties. Such determination shall be made prior to the payment of any funds pursuant to clauses 7.12 and 7.13
