The Manager will make payment to the Issuer or Seller against delivery to the Manager for your account of the Securities to be purchased by you, and the Manager will deliver to you the Securities paid for by you which shall have been retained by or released to you for direct sale. If the Manager determines that transactions in the Securities are to be settled through the facilities of DTC or other clearinghouse facility, payment for and delivery of Securities purchased by you shall be made through such facilities, if you are a member, or, if you are not a member, settlement shall be made through your ordinary correspondent who is a member.
Final Settlement Statement (a) As soon as practical and, in any event, no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth Sellers’ calculation of the adjustments to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.04. The Final Settlement Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Closing Statement as described in Section 2.04(d), and shall set forth Sellers’ calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price.
(b) Following the delivery of the Final Settlement Statement, Sellers shall afford Buyer the opportunity to examine the Final Settlement Statement and Sellers’ calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, and such supporting schedules and analyses as are reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such review. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer in such examination, including responding to questions asked by Buyer, and Sellers shall make available to Buyer any records under Sellers’ control that are requested by Buyer in connection with such review.
(c) If, within thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of the Final Settlement Statement to Buyer, Buyer has not delivered to Sellers written notice (the “Objection Notice”) of Buyer’s objections to the Final Settlement Statement or Sellers’ calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price (which Objection Notice in order to be valid must contain a statement describing in reasonable detail the items objected to, the basis of such objections and Buyer’s calculation of the amount(s) for the items objected to that Buyer asserts should be used for purposes of the Final Settlement Statement), then the Adjusted Purchase Price as set forth in such Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed final and conclusive. In addition, any of Sellers’ calculations of the Adjusted Purchase Price as set forth in the Final Settlement Statement which are not objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed final and conclusive.
(d) If Buyer delivers the Objection Notice satisfying Section 2.06(c) above, within such thirty (30)-day period, then Sellers and Buyer shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections of Buyer set forth in the Objection Notice for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of delivery of the Objection Notice. If at the end of such fifteen (15)-day period there are any objections that remain in dispute, then either Buyer or Sellers may require by written notice to the other that the remaining objections in dispute be submitted for resolution to the Dallas, Texas office of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or to such other independent accounting firm as may be selected jointly by Buyer and Sellers within the ten (10) calendar days following a written request by Buyer or Sellers (Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or such jointly selected accounting firm, the “Referee”). The Referee’s engagement shall be limited to the resolution of disputed amounts set forth in the Final Settlement Statement that have been identified by Buyer in the Objection Notice, which resolution shall be in accordance with this Agreement and no other matter relating to the Final Settlement Statement shall be subject to determination by the Referee except to the extent affected by resolution of the disputed amounts. In connection with the engagement of the Referee, each of Buyer and Sellers shall execute any engagement, indemnity and other agreement as the Referee shall require as a condition to such engagement. If Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is unable or unwilling to serve as the Referee and Buyer and Sellers are unable to agree upon the designation of a Person as substitute arbitrator, then Buyer or Sellers, or either of them, may in writing request the Bankruptcy Court to appoint the substitute referee; provided that such Person so appointed shall be a national or regional accounting firm with no prior material relationships with Buyer or Sellers or their respective Affiliates and shall have experience in auditing companies engaged in oil and gas wellsite service activities.
(e) The Referee shall determine such items of the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price as are disputed within thirty (30) calendar days after the objections that remain in dispute are submitted to it.
(f) If any disputed items are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each of Buyer and Sellers shall furnish to the Referee such workpapers and other documents and information relating to such disputed items as the Referee may request and are available to that Party or its Affiliates (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any materials relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee prior to any written notice of determination hereunder being delivered by the Referee; (ii) the Referee shall not assign a value to such objection that is greater than the greatest value for such objection claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such objection claimed by either Party; (iii) the determination by the Referee of items of the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, as applicable, as set forth in a written notice delivered to Sellers and Buyer by the Referee, shall be made in accordance with this Agreement and shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable (absent manifest error or fraud) and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Referee (the “Audit Fees”) shall be paid by and apportioned between Buyer and Sellers based on the aggregate dollar amount in dispute and the relative recovery as determined by the Referee or Sellers and Buyer, respectively (such that, by way of example, if the amount in dispute is $100 and it is resolved $70 in favor of Buyer and $30 in favor of Sellers, then Sellers would bear 70% of the Audit Fees and Buyer would bear 30% of the Audit Fees).
Cash Settlement If Cash Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, in lieu of Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer will pay to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, an amount of cash (the “Cash Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (i) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period.
Full Settlement; Mitigation The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, provided that nothing herein shall preclude the Company from separately pursuing recovery from the Executive based on any such claim. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts (including amounts for damages for breach) payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.

4.4.3. For any Class Member whose Individual Class Payment check or Individual PAGA Payment check is uncashed and cancelled after the void date, the Administrator shall transmit the funds represented by such checks to the California Controller's Unclaimed Property Fund in the name of the Class Member thereby leaving no "unpaid residue" subject to the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 384, subd. (b).
4.4.4. The payment of Individual Class Payments and Individual PAGA Payments shall not obligate Defendants to confer any additional benefits or make any additional payments to Class Members (such as 401(k) contributions or bonuses) beyond those specified in this Agreement.
