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
