8.LIMITATIONS ON CLAIMS
8.1The definitions and rules of interpretation in this clause apply in this agreement.

Claim: a claim for breach of any of the Warranties.

Substantiated Claim: a Claim in respect of which liability is admitted by the party against whom such Claim is brought, or which has been adjudicated on by a court of competent jurisdiction and no right of appeal lies in respect of such adjudication, or the parties are debarred by passage of time or otherwise from making an appeal.

9.CLOSING BALANCE SHEET; WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT
9On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the Closing, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyers an unaudited consolidated schedule of all assets and liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the Closing Balance Sheet).
9.2Upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyers shall be permitted during the succeeding thirty (30) day period to examine the work papers used or generated in connection with the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and such other documents as the Buyers may reasonably request in connection with its review. The Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding upon the Seller and the Buyers unless, within thirty (30) days following its submittal to the Buyers, the Buyers notify the Seller of their specific objection(s) (the Closing Balance Sheet Objection) thereto in writing (the Objection Notice). If the Buyers so notify the Seller of their objection to the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyers and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Closing Balance Sheet Objection. If, within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of the Objection Notice by the Seller any of such objection have not been resolved or waived, the Seller and the Buyers shall submit the dispute to an independent third party auditor mutually agreed on by the Parties (the Auditor), and the Auditor's opinion thereon and the resulting Closing Balance Sheet shall be final, binding and not subject to any appeal; provided, however, that if after good faith efforts, the Seller and the Buyers cannot agree on the Auditor, then each party shall designate an independent third party auditor and then cause the two auditors so designated to mutually designate an independent third party auditor, which shall be the Auditor. The fees and expenses incurred in connection with any Balance Sheet Objection shall be borne by the party incurring them, provided that the fees and expenses of the Auditor in connection with any such resolution shall be paid one-half by the Seller and one-half by the Buyers.
