If a dispute exists between the Seller and the Purchaser regarding the amount of the Working Capital Deficit (and the related Seller Working Capital Payment) or the Working Capital Surplus (and the related Purchaser Working Capital Payment) reflected in the Working Capital Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the appropriate Party shall pay to the other appropriate Party the uncontested amount prior to the determination of the disputed amount in accordance with Section 3.4(c).

(c)          All payments required under this Section 3.3 or any other provision hereof shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the Person to whom the applicable payment is due.

In the event the Seller does not notify the Purchaser of any such dispute within such fifteen day period or notifies the Purchaser within such period that it does not dispute any item contained therein, the Working Capital Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Working Capital Deficit (and the related Seller Working Capital Payment) or Working Capital Surplus (and the related Purchaser Working Capital Payment), if any, shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

(c)          In the event the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Working Capital Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 3.4(a) within 15 days following the Purchaser’s receipt of notice of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by, a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Purchaser and the Seller (the " Accounting Referee "). In resolving any such dispute, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Working Capital Schedule as to which the Seller has disagreed and shall apply the same accounting bases and policies and order of priority as in Section 3.4(a). The Accounting Referee’s determination of the Working Capital Schedule and the Working Capital Deficit (and related Seller Working Capital Payment) or Working Capital Surplus (and related Purchaser Working Capital Payment), if any, based thereon shall be final and binding on the Parties.

The Parties thereafter agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4 and Sections 3.3(b) and (c) (including the provisions regarding deadlines for response, as if such amended Final Working Capital Schedule is the Working Capital Schedule) to determine whether an additional Seller Working Capital Payment or an additional Purchaser Working Capital Payment shall be required and to make such payment as a result of a change in any Working Capital Deficit or Working Capital Surplus, respectively; provided, however , that any changes in Net Working Capital resulting from Messaging Business Services provided to the Purchaser by any of the Messaging Subsidiaries shall be excluded from the Final Working Capital Schedule solely in determining whether an additional Seller Working Capital Payment or an additional Purchaser Working Capital Payment is required pursuant to this paragraph; and provided , further , that the Parties agree that if any cash of any Messaging Subsidiary is assumed by the Purchaser at the Messaging Subsidiary Closing, in addition to any other amounts due, as an additional Purchaser Working Capital Payment, but only to the extent such cash was excluded from Net Working Capital in the Final Working Capital Schedule, as amended by this Section 3.4(e).

If the Seller does not notify the Purchaser in writing of any dispute with respect to the Allocation within ten (10) days of receipt, such Allocation shall be final and binding upon the Parties. If the Seller provides notice of a dispute with respect to the Allocation, then the procedures of Sections 3.4(b) and (c) shall apply. Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4 shall be allocated pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code. Within thirty (30) days after the Messaging Subsidiary Closing, the Allocation shall be amended to reflect the purchase and sale of the Transferred Assets and/or capital stock or equity interests of the Messaging Subsidiaries in conformity with Section 1060 of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided , that , the Seller shall be provided with the same review and approval rights of such amended Allocation as were provided with respect to the initial Allocation; provided , further , that the Parties agree that the amounts allocated to the Transferred Assets of a Selling Subsidiary shall not exceed the tax net book value of such Transferred Assets, provided that the tax net book value of such Transferred Assets does not violate applicable Law. The Purchaser and the Seller shall file their Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) on the basis of such allocation, as it may be amended, and neither Party shall thereafter take a Tax Return position inconsistent with such allocation unless such inconsistent position shall arise out of or through an audit or other inquiry or examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Entity.
