that is unaffiliated with either party (the "
Referee" ) for resolution, such resolution

and to be final, conclusive and binding on Seller and Buyer. Buyer
and Seller agree to share equally the cost and expenses of the
Referee, but each party shall bear its own legal and other
expenses, if any. If the amount in dispute is equal to or less than
$5,000, such amount shall be divided equally between Buyer and
Seller. Payment by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the

event the amount in dispute equals or is less than $5,000; and (iv)
notice to Seller and Buyer of the resolution of the disputed amount
by the Referee in the event that the amount in dispute exceeds
$5,000. Any payment required by Seller to Buyer or by Buyer to
Seller, as the case may be, under this Section 5.2 shall be paid by
check or wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to
the account of the payee with a financial institution in the United
States as designated by Seller in the Proration Schedule or by
Buyer in the Notice of Disagreement (or by separate notice in the
event that Buyer does not send a Notice of Disagreement). If either
Buyer or Seller fails to pay when due any amount under this Section
5.2, interest on such amount will accrue from the date payment was
due to the date such payment is made at a per annum rate equal to
the Prime Rate plus two percent
(2%), and such interest shall be payable upon demand.

. Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to
agree to an allocation of the Purchase Price pursuant to the
requirements of Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
