Within 30 days after receipt of the preliminary Final Settlement Statement, Buyer shall return a written report containing any proposed changes to the preliminary Final Settlement Statement (a “Dispute Notice”) and/or request additional supporting documentation or information. Buyer and Seller Representative agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to finalize such post-Closing adjustments no later than 180 days after the Closing Date (the date such agreement is made or such adjustments are otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.06, the “Final Settlement Date”). In the event that (a) the Closing Purchase Price, as determined pursuant to Section 2.05, is more than the Final Purchase Price, within two Business Days after the Final Settlement Date, Sellers shall pay to Buyer the amount of such difference, or (b) the Closing Purchase Price, as determined pursuant to Section 2.05, is less than the Final Purchase Price, within two Business Days after the Final Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer or other immediately available funds to the account notified by Seller Representative or Buyer, as the case may be. If Seller Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve the matters addressed in the Dispute Notice within 210 days after the Closing Date, each of Buyer and Seller Representative shall, within ten Business Days after such deadline, summarize its position with regard to such dispute in a written document of 20 pages or less (exclusive of exhibits) and submit such summaries to a nationally or internationally recognized accounting firm with expertise in the oil and gas industry and that is otherwise reasonably acceptable to and mutually accepted by Buyer and Seller Representative, but who has not worked as an employee or outside counsel or consultant for any Party or its Affiliates during the five year period preceding the arbitration or have any financial interest in the dispute, (the “Accounting Arbitrator”), together with the Dispute Notice, the Final Settlement Statement and any other documentation such Party may desire to submit. Within 30 days after receiving Buyer’s and Seller Representative’s respective submissions, the Accounting Arbitrator shall render a decision choosing either Seller Representative’s position or Buyer’s position with respect to each matter addressed in the Parties’ respective submissions, based on the materials described above. Any decision rendered by the Accounting Arbitrator pursuant hereto shall be final, conclusive and binding on Sellers and Buyer. The costs of such Accounting Arbitrator shall be borne one-half by Buyer and one-half by Sellers. The Accounting Arbitrator shall act as an expert for the limited purpose of determining the specific Final Purchase Price dispute presented to it, shall be limited to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.06, shall not have the powers of an arbitrator, shall not consider any other disputes or matters, and may not award damages, interest, costs, attorney’s fees, expenses or penalties to any Party.
