The Draft Closing Statement shall reflect the parties’ good faith estimate of all of the prorations, credits and/or other adjustments to be made at Closing. On the day prior to Closing, the Seller and the Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct inventories, examinations and audits of the Asset as may be necessary to verify and/or make revisions to the Draft Closing Statement based on such audits, examinations and inventories, and on the night preceding the Closing immediately after the Cut-Off Time, the Seller and the Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all final adjustments necessitated by such nights’ operations and prepare a final closing statement of prorations and adjustments required under SECTION 9.1 with such supporting documentation as the parties hereto may reasonably require being attached thereto. The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the completion of the Draft Closing Statement pursuant to this SECTION 9.2(a) shall not be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Buyer or the Seller to consummate the transactions pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (b) If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this ARTICLE IX are not determinable at the Closing, or if any such adjustments made at the Closing prove to be incorrect, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing or corrected when the charge is finally determined. The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller no later than 60 days following the Closing Date (except with respect to any item which is not reasonably determinable within such time frame, as to which the time frame shall be extended until such item is reasonably determinable) a schedule of prorations setting forth the Buyer’s determination of prorations not determined at the Closing and any adjustments to the prorations made at Closing that it believes are necessary to complete the prorations as set forth in this ARTICLE IX. Any errors or omissions in computing adjustments or readjustments at the Closing or thereafter shall be promptly corrected or made, provided that the party seeking to correct such error or omission or to make such readjustment shall have notified the other party of such error or omission or readjustment on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the receipt from the other party of such other party’s proposed adjustment or readjustment. The party owing the other party any sum pursuant to any adjustment, or readjustment or correction under this ARTICLE IX shall pay such sum to the other party within 15 days after the same has been determined as set forth above.

(ii) The Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or objections to any amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement notified to it by Acquiror prior to the Closing and if, prior to the Closing, the Company and Acquiror agree to make any modification to the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Estimated Closing Statement as so modified shall be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Statement; provided, that the failure of the Company and Acquiror to reach such mutual agreement will not give any party the right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise delay or fail to close the Stock Purchase or the other transactions contemplated hereunder. (iii) Acquiror shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Payment Schedule in all respects in making any payments pursuant to this Agreement, and all obligations to make such payments shall be deemed fulfilled to the extent such payments are made in accordance with this Agreement, the Payment Schedule, and the Estimated Closing Statement, including the Earn-Out Payment. None of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) or the Seller Representative shall have any liability or obligation to any Person, including the Sellers and the Seller Guarantors, for any Damages arising from or relating to any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the calculations of the portion of any amounts payable to any Seller or any other Person or any other errors, omissions or inaccuracy in the information set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement or the Payment Schedule.

If no such objections are delivered by the Requisite Sellers within such thirty (30) day period, the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be deemed accepted by the Sellers. The Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections themselves. If the Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has received the statement of objections, however, the Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers will select an accounting firm mutually acceptable to them to resolve any remaining objections. If the Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm, they will select a nationally-recognized accounting firm by lot (after excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms). The determination of any accounting firm so selected will be set forth in writing and will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Purchaser will revise the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(ii). The ``Closing Date Balance Sheet'' shall mean the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet together with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(ii).

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).
