     (c) For sixty days (60) days following each Earn-Out Payment reasonable access, subject to customary confidentially restrictions, to the financial books and records of Buyer shall be given to Seller and an independent accounting firm during normal business hours for the purpose of conducting an independent audit of the Earn-Out Payment, the results of which audit shall be final and binding on the parties. If the audit results in total additional payments to Seller in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) (the “Minimum Earn-Out Discrepancy”), then Buyer shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the auditor. If the audit results in no payments to Seller or payments below the Minimum Earn-Out Discrepancy, then Seller shall be liable for the auditor’s fees and expenses. Buyer shall make any additional payments to the Seller within twenty (20) days after the completion of the audit.

In the absence of such agreement within ten (10) days after the initiation of an arbitration proceeding, Seller shall select one arbitrator and Buyer shall select one arbitrator, and those two arbitrators shall then select, within ten (10) days, a third arbitrator. If those two arbitrators are unable to select a third arbitrator within such ten (10)-day period, a third arbitrator shall be appointed by the commercial panel of the American Arbitration Association. The decision in writing of at least two of the three arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties.
