(i) the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted based on the amount obtained by subtracting seventy-two percent (72%) of the Pre-Closing DIP Balance from the Base Purchase Price (the “Adjustment Amount”);

Base Purchase Price Adjustment. The aggregate effect of the positive or negative NFD Adjustment and the Positive or Negative Net Working Capital Adjustment on the Base Purchase Price and therefore the Base Cash Price, if applicable, is called for the purposes of this Agreement the "Net Adjustment". The Net Adjustment shall initially be calculated in EUR and then converted into USD on the basis of the Euro Exchange Rate for May 31, 2002. The Sellers, if prior to the Closing, and the Purchaser, if after the Closing, shall cause the Company to prepare a provisional calculation of the Net Adjustment in accordance with the above procedures. The mathematical calculation of the Net Adjustment shall be reviewed and confirmed in writing by the Company's auditor (i.e., Ernst & Young AG Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft) and shall, as confirmed, unless mechanical errors in computation can be shown, be binding upon the Parties. The Parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Company's auditor to provide the Parties with a written confirmation of the calculation of the Net Adjustment as soon as possible. If the Net Adjustment has been confirmed in writing by the Company's auditor prior to the Closing, the Base Purchase Price and therefore the Base Cash Price, if applicable, shall be adjusted by an amount in cash equal to the Net Adjustment. The final purchase price calculated on the basis of the Base Purchase Price or the Base Cash Price and the Equity Consideration, as the case may be, and the Net Adjustment shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Final Purchase Price". If the Net Adjustment has not been confirmed in writing by the Company's auditor prior to the Closing, the Company's good faith estimate of the Net Adjustment shall be delivered in writing by the Company to the Purchaser with (i) supporting calculation and (ii) a representation by the Company that the estimate is based on the Company's good faith belief as to the elements to be included in the calculation of the Net Adjustment (hereinafter called the "Estimated Net Adjustment") at least five days prior to the Closing. The Sellers and the Company shall prior to the Closing provide the Purchaser with full access to the books and records used to calculate the Net Adjustment and the Estimated Net Adjustment, as the case may be. If only the Estimated Net Adjustment (rather than the Net Adjustment) was available at Closing, the Closing Date Payment or the Closing Date Cash Amount, as the case may be, shall be calculated ...
