In the event any such disputes are not resolved by the Parties within thirty (30) days, such dispute shall be referred to the Referee who shall resolve any such dispute.

The Actual Earn-Out Amount shall be paid by HSE to Transferor and the other Affiliated Transferors in accordance with this Section 2.3(b) in immediately available funds to such accounts as the Transferor and the other Affiliated Transferors may designate; provided that any such payment shall occur within fifteen (15) calendar days of the first to occur of (y) such date that it is finally determined (in accordance with subsection (a) above) that an EBITDA Report reflects that the Actual Earn-Out Amount equals or exceeds the Maximum Holdback Earn-Out Amount and (z) the final EBITDA Report of the Earn-out Period is finally determined (in accordance with subsection (a) above). With respect to any portion of the Maximum Holdback Earn-Out Amount remaining after payment of the Actual Earn-Out Amount, neither NGL nor HSE shall have any further obligation, and Transferor and the other Affiliated Transferors shall have no further right or claim, with respect to such excess amount which shall remain the property of HSE.
