In a Valuation Certificate, the Revised Payable Amount will be calculated as the amount equal to:

Accounting Firm. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the Change in Control will perform the calculations set forth in Section 9(a). If the firm so engaged by the Company is serving as the accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, the Company will appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company within 30 days before the consummation of a Change in Control (if requested at that time by the Company) or such other time as requested by the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it will furnish the Company with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

Selected Firm. Emmis and Sinclair will cooperate with the Selected Firm during the term of its engagement. The matters to be resolved by the Selected Firm will be limited to the items specified in the Notice of Disagreement. The resolution of any such disputed item by the Selected Firm will not be more favorable to Sinclair than the amount set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement or more favorable to Emmis than set forth in the Notice of Disagreement with respect to such item. The Selected Firm’s determination will be based upon such evidence as the Selected Firm reasonably requires in order to reach a decision with respect to the disputed items specified in the Notice of Disagreement, including such reasonable independent review as the Selected Firm may require; provided, that that the Final Closing Statement and the determination of the Final Net Working Capital will become final and binding on the Parties and nonappealable, on the date the Selected Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the Parties (which final resolution will be delivered promptly following referral by Emmis or Sinclair of such dispute and in any event not more than 45 days following the selection of the Selected Firm). The fees and expenses of the Selected Firm will be borne by the parties as designated by the Selected Firm, which designation will be based upon the inverse proportion of the dollar value of the disputed items resolved in favor of such party (i.e., so that the prevailing party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses).
