In the event the Sellers object in writing to such calculations within such 20 day period, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall promptly meet and endeavor to reach agreement as to the calculations. If the Purchaser and the Sellers agree on the calculations, they will become final and conclusive.

In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountants may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party, in each case as presented to the Independent Accountants.

In the event of a dispute, the party bringing the dispute shall pay for the retention of the Independent Accountants. In all other cases, if the Seller’s objections were justified, then the Purchaser’s Group shall pay for the retention of the Independent Accountant, and if the Seller’s objections were not justified, then the Sellers shall pay for the retention of the Independent Accountant.
