If no such referral is made within 45 calendar days after the delivery of the objections, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If all objections are so resolved between the Parties prior to such time, the Closing Statement with such changes as have been agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between the Buyer and the Seller.

The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputes along with their determination of the Final Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. As to each disputed item, the Auditors shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the Buyer’s proposal, on the one hand, or the Seller’s proposal, on the other hand, and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Auditors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Auditors in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Auditors, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses). If the Parties refer a dispute to the Auditors and if the Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as claimed by the Buyer), then the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid out pursuant to Section 1.4(c) after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4.
(c) If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and if the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds is less than the amount due to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4, then at the Buyer’s option the Buyer may recover the remaining amount from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or require the Seller to pay such amount to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer will pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess and the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds. Any payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

If so provided in the related Purchase Price and Terms Letter, portions of each Mortgage Loan Package shall be priced separately.

(iii) a calculation of the accounts receivable contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Amount that were not collected by Buyer within the thirty (30) days immediately following the Closing and the accounts receivable existing at the Closing but not taken into account in calculating the Adjustment Amount (the “Excluded AR”).
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule, the Seller may deliver a notice to Buyer either: (i) concurring with the Closing Schedule (a “Notice of Concurrence”); or (ii) disagreeing therewith (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Seller delivers a Notice of Disagreement, then it shall be accompanied by the Seller’s proposed revisions to the Closing Schedule. If the Seller fails to deliver any notice within such 15-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Concurrence.
(c) If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and if the Final Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Concurrence.
(d) If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered, then the Seller and the Buyer shall, during the 15-day period following such delivery (the “Negotiation Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Final Adjustment Amount. If, during such period, the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement, they promptly shall engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each such party (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the disagreement, and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is more than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of such resolution.
(e) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
