Dispute Notice Each COD Model (and the Initial COD Purchase Price Adjustment reflected therein) will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and Seller Parent unless the Seller reasonably determines in good faith that the Buyer failed to calculate the Initial COD Purchase Price Adjustment in accordance with this Agreement and provides a Dispute Notice to the Buyer no later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the payment of the applicable Initial COD Purchase Price Adjustment (for clarity, the right to deliver a Dispute Notice shall not arise until the payment of the applicable Initial COD Purchase Price Adjustment has occurred); provided that, during such period, the Buyer will afford the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the applicable Group Companies and any accountants, experts, consultants or financial advisers retained by such Group Companies for purposes of assisting the Seller and its Representatives in its review of the such COD Model, in each case, with such access to be in accordance with applicable confidentiality obligations of Buyer or the Group Companies and effected in a manner designed to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Buyer and the Group Companies; provided further that such twenty (20) Business Day period will be automatically extended by the lesser of (x) the number of days between receipt of the request for such reasonably access and the date such access is provided and (y) ten (10) Business Days. Any Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (A) any item on such COD Model that the Seller reasonably believes in good faith has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and its calculation of the correct amount of such item, (B) the Seller’s resulting calculation of the COD Purchase Price Adjustment for such Project, in each case of clauses (A) and (B), together with reasonable supporting information, including the work papers and other books and records of the Seller and its Affiliates and any accountants, experts, consultants or financial advisers retained by the Seller or its Affiliates for purposes preparing such alternative calculations, and (C) the amount by which, based on such calculation and with respect to the Initial COD Purchase Price Adjustment, (1) the Buyer underpaid or (2) the Seller Parties overpaid. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and Seller Parent upon delivery to the Buyer of the Dispute Notice, or such later date as determined in accordance with this Section 2.07(b) if the Buyer does not provide reasonable access as required pursuant to this Section 2.07(b).
