               (2) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Date Statement; provided , however , that Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to each item or amount set forth in the Closing Date Statement (and waived any right to dispute the same) unless Seller has notified Purchaser in writing of each disputed item, specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within thirty (30) calendar days after Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Date Statement to Seller.

The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted.

     (iv) Final Closing Date Statement . The Closing Date Statement shall be deemed final and binding for the purposes of this Section 3.1(b) upon the earliest of (A) the failure of Seller to notify Purchaser of a dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Closing Date Statement to Seller, (B) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii)(2) , by Purchaser and Seller and (C) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(iii)(2) , by the Independent Accounting Firm.

All payments to be made under this Section 3.1(b)(v) shall be made on a net basis taking into account payments received under Section 3.1(b)(i) .

     (vi)  Payment . If the amount of any adjustment pursuant to clause (v) above results in an increase in the Preliminary Purchase Price, then Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date Statement is deemed final, pay to Seller the amount of such increase by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller. If the amount of any adjustment pursuant to clause (v) above results in a decrease in the Preliminary

Purchase Price, then Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date Statement is deemed final, pay to Purchaser the amount of such decrease by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Purchaser. The Preliminary Purchase Price as so adjusted by Section 3.1(b) , is referred to herein as the “ Purchase Price .” Any payment amount shall bear interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the rate equal to one percent (1%) above the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. on the Closing Date.
