• Adjustments and Prorations The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at Closing:

• Closing Costs and Prorations Taxes and assessments for the current year, if any, shall be prorated between the prior owner of the Personal Property and Buyer as of the date of closing. Seller shall pay one-half (½) of Closing Agent’s closing and escrow fees. Buyer shall pay one-half (½) of Closing Agent’s closing and escrow fees. In addition, Buyer shall pay all other closing costs, including but not limited to: (1) recording fees for the cost of recording the State Deed; (2) the cost for any title insurance purchased at Buyer’s option; (3) lender fees, if any, together with all associated recording fees, if any;

• Price Adjustments 17.1 Prices for Goods/Services supplied in terms of this Agreement shall be subject to review as indicated in the Schedule of Requirements/Works Order annexed hereto. 17.2 No less than 2 [two] months prior to any proposed Price adjustment, the Parties shall commence negotiations for Prices for the next period or as otherwise indicated in Schedule 1 hereto. The Parties shall have regard for market-related pricing of equivalent goods, continuous improvement initiatives, costs [including labour, raw materials and transport/delivery], order size and frequency and changes to the specification of the Goods/Services. 17.3 Pursuant to clause 17.2 above, the Supplier/Service Provider shall keep full and accurate records of all costs associated with the supply of the Goods/Services to Transnet, in a form to be approved in writing by Transnet. The Supplier/Service Provider shall produce such records to Transnet for inspection at all reasonable times on request and such records may, at Transnet's option, be audited by Transnet or its designated representatives. 17.4 Should Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider fail to reach an agreement on Price for the successive period, either Party shall be entitled to submit this matter to dispute resolution in accordance with clause 32 of the Master Agreement [Dispute Resolution]. 17.5 If during the period of this Agreement Transnet can purchase similar Goods/Services of a like quality from another supplier at a total delivered cost to a Transnet facility that is lower than the total delivered cost of the Goods/Services purchased hereunder from the Supplier/Service Provider, Transnet may notify the Supplier/Service Provider of such total delivered cost and the Supplier/Service Provider shall have an opportunity to adjust the Price of the Goods/Services purchased hereunder, on such a basis as to result in the same total delivered cost to Transnet, within 30 [thirty] calendar days of such notice. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from such other supplier in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; (ii) terminate this Agreement without any penalty, liability or further obligation; or (iii) continue purchases under this Agreement. 17.6 If during the period of this Agreement the Supplier/Service Provider sells any materials which are the same as, equivalent to, or substantially similar to the Goods/Services herein, at a total delivered cost to a third party lower than the total delivered cost to a Transnet facility, then the Supplier/Service Provider has an opportunity to adjust its Price for the Goods/Services purchased hereunder within 30 [thirty] calendar days so that the Price is the same or lower than the total delivered cost of such third party. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from any other such supplier, in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; or

• Purchase Price Adjustments (a) Schedule 2.4 sets forth the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) as of September 30, 2013, together with a calculation of the Closing Purchase Price based on such estimate. The Estimated Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.6 and the other terms of this Agreement. (b) As promptly as possible, but in any event within forty five (45) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will deliver to the Seller a balance sheet of the Company (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement showing the calculation of the Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Preliminary Closing Statement”), in each case as of the Reference Time. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and the Net Working Capital and the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be determined, in accordance with Section 2.6 and the definitions and other terms set forth in this Agreement. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall contain line item detail comparable to the Balance Sheet with respect to the components of Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Reference Time. After delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Buyer shall give the Seller and its accountants and representatives reasonable access at reasonable times to review the Company’s books and records and work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement subject to customary confidentiality restrictions. The Seller and its accountants and representatives may make inquiries of the Buyer and its accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Closing Statement arising in the course of its review thereof, and the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If the Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered by the Seller to the Buyer within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, but if they do not reach a final resolution, the Seller and the Buyer shall submit such dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers, or if they are not independent pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission at the time, another nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller (the “Dispute Resolution Firm”) within three (3) Business Days following the end of the fifteen (15)-day period from the date of the delivery of the Objections Statement. Any further submissions to the Dispute Resolution Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall consider work papers and other documents and information related to those items and amounts which are identified in the Objections Statement as being items which the Seller and the Buyer are unable to resolve. The Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination will be based on the definition of Net Working Capital and the other definitions and terms contained herein and shall be in amounts between the disputed amounts set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Objections Statement. The Seller and the Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the submission of any dispute. Further, the Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by the Buyer and the Seller which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be, absent manifest error, final, binding and non-appealable on the Parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be allocated fifty percent (50%) to the Buyer and fifty percent (50%) to the Seller. (c) If the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(b) above is greater than the Target Working Capital, the Buyer shall promptly pay to the Seller the amount of such excess in cash. If the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(b) above is less than the Target Working Capital (such amount, the “Working Capital Deficiency”), the Seller and the Buyer shall promptly cause an amount equal to the Working Capital Deficiency to be paid to the Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Amount; provided, however, that if the Working Capital Deficiency is in excess of the Working Capital Escrow Amount (such excess amount, the “Working Capital Indemnity Amount”), then the Buyer may elect to seek indemnification for the Working Capital Indemnity Amount either (i) from the Indemnity Escrow Amount or (ii) directly from the Seller. The net adjustment amount payable to the Seller or the Buyer under this Section 2.4(c) (such amount, the “Net Adjustment Amount”) shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.5.

• Prorations and Adjustments (a) Seller and Purchaser agree to prorate and/or adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): (i) Rents, in accordance with Section 10.4(c) below. (ii) Cash Security Deposits and any prepaid rents, together with any interest required to be paid thereon. (iii) Utility charges payable by Seller, including, without limitation, electricity, water charges and sewer charges. If there are meters on the Real Property, final readings and final xxxxxxxx for utilities will be made if possible on the day before the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. If meter readings on the day before the Closing Date are not possible, then Seller will cause readings of all said meters to be performed not more than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and a per diem adjustment shall be made for the days between the meter reading date and the Closing Date based on the most recent meter reading. Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for any deposits with the utility providers. (iv) Amounts payable under the Service Contracts other than those Service Contracts which Purchaser has elected not to assume by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period. (v) Real estate taxes due and payable for the calendar year. If the Closing Date shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, real estate taxes (by reason of change in either assessment or rate or for any other reason other than as a result of the final determination or settlement of any tax appeal) for the Real Property should be determined to be higher or lower than those that are apportioned, a new computation shall be made, and Seller agrees to pay Purchaser any increase shown by such recomputation and vice versa; provided, however, that if any increase in the assessed value of the Property results from improvements made to the Property by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any increase in taxes attributable thereto. With respect to tax appeals, any tax refunds or credits attributable to tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall belong solely to Seller, regardless of whether such refunds are paid or credits are given before or after Closing. Any tax refunds or credits attributable to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on their respective periods of ownership in such tax year. The expenses of any tax appeals shall be apportioned between the parties in the same manner as the refunds and/or credits. The provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(v) shall survive the Closing. (vi) The value of fuel stored at the Real Property, at Seller’s most recent cost, including taxes, on the basis of a reading made within ten (10) days prior to the Closing by Seller’s supplier. (b) Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time. The estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller. The proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 10.4(b) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months. (c) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. “Rental” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proration share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property. Rental is “Delinquent” when it was due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Proration Time. Delinquent Rental will not be prorated. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rental. All sums collected by Purchaser in the month of Closing shall be applied to the month of Closing. All sums collected by Purchaser thereafter from each Tenant (excluding tenant specific xxxxxxxx for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(e) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser, and then delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Purchaser shall not modify, amend or terminate any existing agreements with Tenants relating to past rent due.

• CLOSING COSTS AND ADJUSTMENTS All adjustments are made as of settlement date.

• Prorations The following shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 11:59 p.m. local time of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the month in which the Closing occurs: general and special county and city real property taxes and special assessments (collectively, "Taxes") for the tax period then in effect and insurance premiums (but only if Buyer is assuming Seller's insurance policy or policies). Proration of Taxes shall be based on the most recent official tax bills or notice of valuation available for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, with due allowance to be made for the maximum available discount or other exemptions to the extent permissible for said year, and to the extent the tax bills do not accurately reflect the actual Taxes assessed against the Property (or any portion of the Property) and allocable either to the period before the Closing or to the period after the Closing, then Buyer and Seller shall adjust the actual Taxes between Buyer and Seller, outside of Escrow, as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing. In addition to the foregoing apportionments, Seller shall receive all rents and other income accrued, and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred, in connection with the ownership or operation of Property before the Closing Date, and Buyer shall receive all rents and other income accruing, and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred, in connection with the ownership or operation of Property on or after the Closing Date, all of which rents, other income and expenses shall be prorated as of the Closing. Rents and other income, if any, collected by Buyer after the Closing shall be applied first to any amounts due to Buyer and then, to the extent such rents or other income relate to the period ending on or before the Closing, such rents or other income shall be paid to Seller within ten (10) days after end of the month in which such amounts were collected. Buyer shall incur no obligation to Seller for Buyer's failure to collect such rentals or other income. All security and any other refundable deposits paid by tenants to Seller pursuant to tenant leases shall be delivered by certified funds to Buyer at the Closing or, at Seller's option, credited to Buyer against the cash portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing. Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with any prorations that are to be made after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent a good faith non-binding, advisory draft of the Estimated Closing Statement, including reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the estimates set forth therein (an “Advisory Estimated Closing Statement”), assuming, for purposes of creating such Advisory Estimated Closing Statement, a Reference Time of 11:59 p.m. New York City time on September 30, 2024.

(d) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within the later of (x) thirty (30) days following the Closing Date and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Revelyst Merger (if such merger is consummated) (the later of (x) and (y), the “Closing Statement Deadline”), Vista Outdoor and Revelyst shall cooperate in good faith and jointly prepare a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth their joint good faith calculation of (i) Closing Cash, (ii) Closing Working Capital, (iii) Closing Debt, (iv) Transaction Expenses, (v) Closing Taxes, (vi) Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and (vii) the Closing Adjustment Amount, in each case, together with reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement is to measure and determine the amount of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. Each of Vista Outdoor and Revelyst shall execute the Closing Statement to certify the calculations set forth therein and upon such certification the Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Vista Outdoor and Revelyst do not agree upon and execute the Closing Statement by the Closing Statement Deadline, then the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed to be the Closing Statement for all purposes under this Agreement and neither Party nor their respective Affiliates shall have any further obligation pursuant to this Section 2.06. (e) In connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall, subject to reasonable advance written request (email being sufficient), provide Revelyst and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, and in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operations of Vista Outdoor and each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group, to the Records and relevant advisors (subject to the execution of any required customary access letters), personnel and properties of Vista Outdoor and each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group to the extent reasonably relevant to the preparation of the Closing Statement; provided that Revelyst shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, keep any nonpublic information shared with it confidential. (f) Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the Parties in accordance with this Section 2.06, if the Closing Adjustment Amount is: (i) greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then Vista Outdoor shall pay Revelyst an amount of cash equal to such difference; (ii) less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then Revelyst shall pay Vista Outdoor an amount of cash equal to such difference; or (iii) equal to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then neither Party shall have any obligation to make a payment to the other Party in respect thereof. (g) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 2.06 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the other Party would not have entered into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party. Accordingly, if a Party fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.06 (such Party, the “Defaulting Party”), and, in order to obtain payment of such amount, the other Party commences a legal action which results in an order against the Defaulting Party for such amount, or any portion thereof, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the other Party such other Party’s out-of-pocket, reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such legal action, together with interest on such due and unpaid amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06 at a rate equal to (i) the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such amount was required to be paid plus (ii) 2% through the date such payment was actually received. (h) Vista Outdoor agrees that, from the Closing Date through the date that the Closing Adjustment Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.06, it shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group not to, take any action with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Closing Statement is based that would impede or delay the final determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any investigation or examination conducted, or any knowledge possessed or acquired, by or on behalf of Vista Outdoor or Revelyst, the process set forth in this Section 2.06 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties for any disputes related to the items required to be included or reflected in the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount. (j) Without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, none of the time periods set forth in this Section 2.06 shall be extended or waived by any Party. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the closing of the Revelyst Merger, neither Olibre Parent, Revelyst nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any obligation with respect to this Section 2.06. Each Party agrees that Olibre Parent is a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.06(j). (k) For the purposes of this Agreement:

• Costs and Prorations (a) At Closing, the Parties shall prorate, without duplication, as of the Closing Date, the following with respect to the Assets: (i) Solely to the extent (a) payable by the Company and (b) not covered by Section 1.4(a)(iii) or Section 1.4(a)(iv) below, all ad valorem/personal property taxes and current installments of special assessments levied or assessed with respect to the Assets on a daily basis based upon the fiscal year of the appropriate Taxing Authority on an accrual basis. (ii) All prepaid items and deposits applicable to the operation of the Assets covering periods prior to and after the Closing Date, including all utilities (including gas, water and electricity). The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, prior to the Closing, all such amounts for which a xxxx has been received for which payments are due prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be credited, and Seller shall be debited, with an amount equal to all utility charges for the period from the last day covered by any such xxxx until the Closing Date if such utilities will continue to be received. (iii) Amounts payable under Leases and Permits and other Assets shall be prorated on an accrual basis. The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all amounts due thereunder prior to the Closing Date. For such amounts due on or after the Closing Date and reflected on the Closing Statement or the Final Closing Statement, Purchaser shall be credited, and Seller shall be debited, for Seller’s prorated share of such amount. For such amounts due on or after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to pay its prorated share when due or to promptly reimburse Purchaser if paid by Purchaser; provided, however, to the extent funds are available, such amounts shall first be paid from the Escrow Fund. Percentage rents based on advertising revenues for periods including days both before and after the Closing Date, and Seller’s prorated share thereof, shall be estimated in good faith by extrapolating the advertising revenue for the period upon which the percentage rents are based by applying the average monthly revenue for the months (or portions thereof) preceding the Closing, to the months (or portions thereof) following Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) paid-up/pre-paid rental on Sign Locations Leases pre-paid not more than twelve (12) months beyond the Closing Date shall be prorated, but (y) paid-up/pre-paid rental on Sign Locations Leases prepaid more than twelve (12) months beyond the Closing Date and perpetual easements shall not be prorated. (iv) The Purchase Price shall be decreased by: (a) the pro rata portion of the amount of any remaining balance at the Closing Date of credits for advertisements received prior to the Closing Date or other credits due advertisers from Seller or the Company as of the Closing Date; and (b) pre-billed and/or pre-collected accounts receivable items actually collected and for which outdoor advertising services are to be rendered after the Closing Date. (v) The Purchase Price shall be increased by any amounts posted as security deposit by CCOI or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Assumed Contract (which deposits are not being refunded to CCOI or its Affiliates but rather being retained by the counterparties for the Company’s account). (b) Seller has prepared, in good faith, a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) consistent with the foregoing and otherwise consistent with this Agreement and has delivered it, along with reasonably detailed information showing the manner in which the contents of the Closing Statement were calculated, to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement. In preparing the Closing Statement, Seller used the best available information, subject to additional adjustment among the Parties after Closing upon receipt of definitive information or final bills; provided, however, that no such adjustments will be made after the Closing Statement becomes final pursuant to Section 1.4(c). (c) As soon as practicable after the Closing (but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing), Seller shall deliver a final Closing Statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) to Purchaser, which Final Closing Statement shall set forth (among the other information described above) the amount of actual Closing Date Indebtedness. Each Party shall provide to the other Party, reasonable access at reasonable times to the books and records of such Party and to appropriate employees and representatives (including independent accountants) as such other Party shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation and review of the Final Closing Statement, or any component thereof or information contained or referred to therein, as the case may be, including all work papers of the accountants who audited, compiled or reviewed such statements or notices (subject to each Party and its representatives entering into any such access letters required by the other Party’s accountants in connection herewith), and shall otherwise cooperate reasonably and in good faith with such other Party to arrive at a final determination of the amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement. Unless Purchaser notifies Seller in writing within 15 days after Seller’s delivery of the Final Closing Statement of any objection to the matters set forth in the Final Closing Statement (the “Notice of Objection”), the Final Closing Statement shall become final and binding. Any Notice of Objection shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the objections set forth therein. If Purchaser provides the Notice of Objection to Seller within such 15-day period, Purchaser and Seller shall, during the 30-day period following Seller’s receipt of the Notice of Objection, attempt in good faith to resolve Purchaser’s objections. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve all such objections within such 30-day period, the matters remaining in dispute that were properly included in the Notice of Objection (the “Unresolved Items”) shall be submitted to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Parties (the “Accounting Firm”), which Accounting Firm shall resolve such matters; provided that if Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree upon such firm within ten days after the end of such 30-day period, then the Accounting Firm shall be an accounting or valuation firm of national standing appointed by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York; provided that such firm shall not be the independent auditor of (or otherwise provide services under a contractual arrangement with) either Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or Seller (or any of its Affiliates including iHeartMedia, Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries). Each Party shall furnish the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items still in dispute as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request and shall be afforded an opportunity to discuss such Unresolved Items with the Accounting Firm at such hearing as the Accounting Firm shall request or permit; provided, that (i) each Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Accounting Firm, and (ii) no Party (or any of its Affiliates, advisors or representatives) shall engage in any ex parte communication with the Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items. The Accounting Firm shall only resolve the Unresolved Items. The resolution of the Unresolved Items by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding, and the determination of the Accounting Firm shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Accounting Firm shall allocate, and Purchaser and Seller shall pay, its fees, costs and expenses between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such Parties bears to the amount actually contested by or on behalf of such Parties. (d) Within five (5) Business Days after the Final Closing Statement is finalized pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 1.4: (i) If the Closing Consideration delivered on the Closing Date exceeds the final Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and contained in the Final Closing Statement; Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such excess; and (ii) If the amount of the final Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and contained in the Final Closing Statement exceeds Closing Consideration delivered on the Closing Date; Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to such excess. Any amount paid with respect to final adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be (i) paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving Party and (ii) treated as an adjustment of the Purchase Price for applicable tax purposes to the extent permitted by Tax Law.

• Tax Adjustments The Company may make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those required by Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
