If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of such Working Capital Inputs information, Seller objects in writing to Purchaser (describing in reasonable detail the specific line items and values that are in dispute and the reasons for such dispute, and proposing alternative values with respect to such specific line items), such disputed items shall be subject to the objection and resolution provisions set forth in subparagraph 3(e) below. If any of such Working Capital Inputs are not timely objected to by Seller, then such Working Capital Inputs and the resulting Actual Working Capital shall be deemed final and no longer subject to dispute by either of the Parties.

(d) If neither Purchaser nor Seller prepare and timely deliver a list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date in accordance with subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c), above, no adjustments to the Portfolio Project Model will be made pursuant to subparagraph 3(f) below and the Closing Purchase Price shall be the Purchase Price. (e) If Purchaser timely objects to Seller’s list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or if Seller timely objects to Purchaser’s list of the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date pursuant to subparagraph 3(c), then Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve the particular items and values that are identified in the applicable written notice of objection over a ten (10) day period commencing on delivery of written notice of objection pursuant to subparagraph 3(b) or subparagraph 3(c), as the case may be. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement as to the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date within such ten (10) day period (or such longer period as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree in writing), then either Party may submit such disputed items and values to the Neutral Auditor. Each Party agrees to promptly execute a reasonable engagement letter, if requested to do so by the Neutral Auditor. Seller and Purchaser, and their respective representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Neutral Auditor. The Neutral Auditor, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall resolve such disputed items and determine the values to be ascribed thereto, and determine the Working Capital Inputs as of the Closing Date.
