All DBC Nonassumed Obligations shall remain and be the obligations and liabilities solely of DBC.

If either party shall have received any such revenues or paid any such expenses or charges which, pursuant to the terms hereof, the other party is entitled to or responsible for, it shall furnish the other party with a detailed statement of any such items as soon as practicable after receipt or payment thereof. The parties shall use their best efforts to agree upon such items and other adjustments prior to the Closing Date and, in any event, except as set forth in Section 2.2(c) of the DBC Disclosure Schedule, within sixty (60) days thereafter. If the parties are unable within such period to agree upon such items and other adjustments, DBC and ATS shall, within the following ten (10) days, jointly designate a nationally known independent public accounting firm to be retained to review such items and other adjustments. The fees and other expenses of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall be borne equally by DBC and ATS. Such firm shall report its conclusions as to such items and other adjustments pursuant to this Section and such report shall be conclusive on all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or review. Upon such agreement or determination by such independent accounting firm, DBC or ATS, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the other party for any income received or expenses paid by the other party and not previously reimbursed or any other adjustment required by this Section. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2(c) is intended or shall be deemed to amend or modify the indemnification provisions of Article 8 nor to reallocate responsibility for the matters set forth therein.
