Allocation of Purchase Price Sellers and Buyer agree to allocate the total consideration (as determined for federal income Tax purposes) paid for the Purchased Assets (including any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets for all Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the methodology and principles set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Buyer (with Sellers’ cooperation as reasonably requested) shall deliver to Sellers within 60 days after the Closing Date an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) determined in accordance with this Section 2.04 and Exhibit A attached hereto, and Sellers shall have 30 days to review and provide any objections thereto in writing. Sellers and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objection within the 30 days following delivery of Sellers’ objections; provided, that if the parties are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within such 30 day period, either party may immediately engage Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (or if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP refuses or is unable to perform the requested services, such other regionally recognized independent accounting firm as is agreed to by Xxxxx and Sellers in good faith) (the “Neutral Accountant”) to resolve the remaining disputed items. Buyer and Sellers shall present their respective positions on the disputed items to the Neutral Accountant in writing, and the parties shall require the Neutral Accountant, within 30 days thereafter, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, to resolve only the matters objected to by Sellers and not resolved by the parties with respect to the determination of the Allocation Schedule. The resolution by the Neutral Accountant of such matters shall be within the range of the amounts claimed by the parties in their written submissions to the Neutral Accountant. All of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with any dispute under this Section 2.04 shall be borne by the party whose positions (based on aggregate dollar amount) are furthest from the final determination of such disputed items by the Neutral Accountant. Each party shall bear any fees and expenses of its own accountants, attorneys and other representatives with respect to the matters described above. Buyer and Sellers each agree to complete and file Form 8594 (including any supplemental filing) with its applicable U.S. federal income Tax Return, and shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such finally determined Allocation Schedule, unless otherwise required pursuant to applicable law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local applicable law).
