To the extent any of the approvals, consents or waivers referred to above have not been obtained by Seller as of the Closing, Buyer may elect by written notice to Seller to exclude the

1.6   Purchase Price . The aggregate purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Assets (the " Purchase Price ") will be Five Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Dollars ($522,000).

1.7   Allocation of Purchase Price .

(a)   Buyer will prepare (or cause to be prepared) an allocation (the " Allocation Schedule ") of the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities and Buyer's expenses of the transaction) among the Assets. Such allocation will be made in accordance with Code Section 1060 and any applicable rules or regulations thereunder. Seller will have the right to review and reasonably approve the Allocation Schedule, and Seller and Buyer will consult and resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of Seller's review of such Allocation Schedule.

(b)   Seller and Buyer (1) will be bound by the allocation contained in the Allocation Schedule for purposes of determining any and all consequences with respect to Taxes of the transactions contemplated herein, (2) will prepare and file all tax returns to be filed with any tax authority in a manner consistent with such Allocation Schedule (including Form 8594, "Asset Acquisition Statement"), and (3) will take no position inconsistent with such Allocation Schedule in any tax return, any discussion with or proceeding before any tax authority, or otherwise. In the event that such Allocation Schedule is disputed by any tax authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the other party thereof.
