Disputed Amounts 28.1.1 If any portion of an amount due to a Party (the “Billing Party”) under this Agreement is subject to a bona fide dispute between the Parties, the Party billed (the “Non-Paying Party”) shall, prior to the Xxxx Due Date, give written notice to the Billing Party of the amounts it disputes (“Disputed Amounts”) and include in such written notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item; provided, however, a failure to provide such notice by that date shall not preclude a Party from subsequently challenging billed charges provided that such charges were paid. The Non-Paying Party shall pay when due all undisputed amounts to the Billing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 28.2, a Party shall be entitled to dispute only those charges for which the Date was within the immediately preceding eighteen (18) months of the date on which the other Party received notice of such Disputed Amounts.
28.1.2 If the Non-Paying Party disputes charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of such Non-Paying Party, the Billing Party shall credit the invoice of the Non-Paying Party for the amount of the Disputed Amounts along with any applicable late payment charges no later than the second Xxxx Due Date after the resolution of the Dispute. Accordingly, if a Non-Paying Party disputes charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Billing Party, the Non-Paying Party shall pay the Billing Party the amount of the Disputed Amounts and any associated late payment charges no later than the second Xxxx Due Date after the resolution of the Dispute. Late payment charges shall be assessed as set forth in Section 27.8.
28.1.3 If the Parties are unable to resolve the issues related to the Disputed Amounts in the normal course of business within sixty (60) days after delivery to the Billing Party of notice of the Disputed Amounts, each of the Parties shall appoint a designated representative who has authority to settle the Dispute and who is at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement. The designated representatives shall meet as often as they reasonably deem necessary in order to discuss the Dispute and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve such Dispute. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives; however all reasonable requests for relevant information made by one Party to the other Party shall be honored.
28.1.4 If the Parties are unable to resolve issues related to the Disputed Amounts within forty-five (45) days after the Parties' appointment of designated representatives pursuant to Section 28.3, then either Party may file a complaint with the Commission to resolve such issues or proceed with any other remedy pursuant to law or equity. The Commission or the FCC may direct payment of any or all Disputed Amounts (including any accrued interest) thereon or additional amounts awarded, plus applicable late fees, to be paid to either Party.
28.1.5 The Parties agree that all negotiations pursuant to this Section 28.1 shall remain confidential in accordance with Article XX and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence.

The calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments will be prepared by the Company in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. If HSE disputes any portion of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments prior to Closing, then HSE and the Company will negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve any such dispute at or prior to Closing.
(b) No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing, HSE shall cause to be prepared (i) a statement of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date (the “Net Working Capital Closing Statement”) and (ii) a calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and the Unpaid Transaction Costs prepared in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement (the “Final Cost Adjustments”). The Net Working Capital Closing Statement shall contain line item detail comparable to the balance sheet included in the most recent Financial Statements with respect to the components of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date. The Representative, on behalf of Transferor, shall have a period of thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments and related worksheets to provide written notice of the Representative’s objection, on behalf of Transferor, to the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments or the related worksheets (which notice shall state the basis for the Representative’s objection).

If the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, timely provides any such objection, Transferor and HSE shall work in good faith to resolve any differences with respect thereto.

The Referee shall make a determination with respect to the disputed matters submitted to it and determine the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Final Cost Adjustments as of the Calculation Date within 30 days after the objections that remain in dispute are submitted to it. If any objections are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each Party shall furnish to the Referee such work papers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Referee may request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee; (ii) the determination by the Referee of the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Final Cost Adjustments as of the Calculation Date, as set forth in a written notice delivered to each of the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, and HSE by the Referee, shall be calculated in accordance with the past practices utilized in preparing the most recent Financial Statements, and shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and, absent manifest error, shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Referee shall be borne one-half by Transferor and one-half by HSE. The final Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date, as determined in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), is referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital.”
(c) If the Final Net Working Capital is less than zero, Transferor shall promptly pay to HSE an aggregate amount in cash equal to such deficiency. If the Final Net Working Capital is greater than zero, HSE shall pay to Transferor on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount of such excess in cash; provided, however, such payment by HSE shall not be due and payable to Transferor until the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that HSE has collected an aggregate amount of Accounts Receivable in excess of the aggregate current liabilities included in the calculation of Final Net Working Capital. In the event the sum of (i) the Closing Cash Amount minus (ii) the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount minus (iii) the Unpaid Transaction Costs set forth in the calculation of the Final Cost Adjustments is less than such sum set forth in the calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments, Transferor shall promptly pay the amount of such deficiency to HSE in cash. In the event such sum set forth in the calculation of the Final Cost Adjustments is greater than the sum set forth in the calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments, HSE shall promptly pay to Transferor the amount of such excess in cash.

The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the completion of the Draft Closing Statement pursuant to this SECTION 9.2(a) shall not be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Buyer or the Seller to consummate the transactions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this ARTICLE IX are not determinable at the Closing, or if any such adjustments made at the Closing prove to be incorrect, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing or corrected when the charge is finally determined. The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller no later than 60 days following the Closing Date (except with respect to any item which is not reasonably determinable within such time frame, as to which the time frame shall be extended until such item is reasonably determinable) a schedule of prorations setting forth the Buyer’s determination of prorations not determined at the Closing and any adjustments to the prorations made at Closing that it believes are necessary to complete the prorations as set forth in this ARTICLE IX.

Accounts Collection At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account.
