If there is a dispute regarding the income Tax benefit or detriment (including its discount to present value), Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If, after a period of thirty (30) days of negotiations, such dispute remains unresolved, Buyer and Seller will jointly engage an international accounting firm mutually satisfactory to Buyer and Seller, or if they cannot agree, an independent accounting firm of 200 or more accountants chosen by lot, with each of Buyer and Seller jointly having the right to select two of such firms, which such representation and warranty is made cannot be the auditor or any intentional breach by any party of any covenant tax accountant for either Buyer or obligationthe Company, and GRS or to strike one such firm chosen by the Stockholdersother party (the “Independent Tax Accountant”), as to resolve such dispute in accordance with this Agreement, and the case may be, will decision of the Independent Tax Accountant shall be jointly final and severally liable for all damages binding on the parties hereto.
