Upon the expiration of the Objection Period, the Representative, on behalf of all Company Stockholders, shall be deemed to have accepted, and shall be bound by, the Closing Working Capital Statement, the calculation therein of the Closing Working Capital Amount, and Parent’s calculation of the Closing Cash Amount, unless the Representative shall have informed Parent in writing of its disagreement with the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or Parent’s calculation of the Closing Cash Amount prior to the expiration of the Objection Period (the “Objection”), specifying each disputed item and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such dispute (each, a “Disputed Item”).

mutually agreeable, nationally recognized public accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”) who shall accept its appointment within seven days after such referral, to make a final, non-appealable and binding determination as to such remaining Disputed Items pursuant to the terms hereof. The Accounting Referee shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Accounting Referee shall be directed to make a determination of the Disputed Items in accordance with Section 2.4(e) promptly, but no later than 30 days, after acceptance of its appointment. Parent and the Representative agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect the selection and appointment of the Accounting Referee pursuant to this Section 2.4(d), including executing an engagement agreement with the Accounting Referee providing for reasonable and customary compensation and other terms of such engagement. Parent and the Representative shall make readily available to the Accounting Referee all relevant books, records and employees of the Company and the Surviving Corporation that are reasonably requested by the Accounting Referee in connection with the Accounting Referee’s review of any Disputed Items.”
(c)
Section 2.4(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

With respect to each Disputed Item, the Accounting Referee’s determination shall be within the range of values assigned to such Disputed Item by Parent and the Representative. Any finding by the Accounting Referee shall be (i) a reasoned award stating in reasonable detail the findings of fact on which it is based, (ii) final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties hereto and (iii) the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties hereto regarding the Disputed Items so presented. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) in the same proportion that the dollar amount of Disputed Items which are not resolved in favor of Parent or the Representative, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount of Disputed Items resolved by the Accounting Referee. Each of Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Indemnifying Optionholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of its own accountants and all of its other expenses incurred in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.4.”
