Notwithstanding Section 7.06, this Section 6.04 shall govern the resolution of any dispute arising between the Parties in connection with this Agreement, other than a dispute (i) relating to liability for Transaction Taxes or (ii) in which the amount of liability in dispute exceeds $20 million (a “Tax Dispute”). The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Tax Dispute for 30 calendar days (unless earlier resolved). Upon notice of either Party after 30 calendar days, the matter will be referred to an Accounting Firm acceptable to both Parties. The Accounting Firm may, in its discretion, obtain the services of any third party necessary to assist it in resolving the Tax Dispute. The Parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to furnish notice to each Party of its resolution of the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 40 calendar days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution.
