V.") shall appoint an auditor to determine the Working Capital with binding effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Indemnity Promissory Note, the Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct an amount equal to the appropriate portion of the Amount Claimed (whether it be in whole or in part) as resolved in its favor by mutual agreement of the parties or by the Independent Person from the then Outstanding IPN Value of  the Indemnity Promissory Note.
 
 
(d)
The fees and disbursements of the Independent Person shall be allocated between the Seller and the Purchaser in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Person that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Independent Person) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted.
 
 
(e)
The procedure set out in this clause 7.7 may continue to be used by the Purchaser until the entire Outstanding IPN Value of the Indemnification Promissory Note has been reduced to zero.
 
 
(f)
For the avoidance of doubt, the size of any Amount Claimed under any Purchaser Certificate shall not exceed the then Outstanding IPN Value, and instead,  if the Purchaser wishes to claim for any alleged Loss which exceeds the then Outstanding IPN Value of the Indemnification Promissory Note, the Purchaser may only pursue such a claim as a Purchaser Claim as provided for in the remainder of this Agreement, and not as provided for in this clause 7.7, including without limitation, by submitting such Purchaser Claim to binding arbitration under clause 17.1.

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to assign any rights or claims hereunder without the prior written approval of the Seller. Except as explicitly provided for herein, neither Party shall be entitled to a right of set-off or retention with respect to any rights or claims hereunder unless the right or claim of the Party claiming a right of set-off or retention has been acknowledged in writing by the other Party or has been confirmed by final decision of a competent court.

Severability
 
Should any provision of this Agreement be or become invalid, ineffective or unenforceable as a whole or in part, the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

However, it is the express intent of the Parties that this Clause shall not merely result in a reversal of the burden of proof (Beweislastumkehr) but that Section 139 BGB is hereby contracted out in its entirety.
