Such Third Party Accountant’s determination of such Third

Year EBITDA shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties for the purposes for which such determination was made. If Team and the Class B Stockholder Representative are unable to agree upon a single Third Party Accountant within such fifteen (15) day period, then either such party may call for the appointment of a third party accountant by giving notice to the other.
