The Net Cash Calculation shall include ZordichVibrant’s determination, as of the Cash Determination Time, of the defined terms in Section 1.1(a) necessary to calculate the Exchange Ratio. (b) No later than the Determination Date, the Company will deliver to Zordich a schedule (the “Company Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Company’s good faith, estimated calculation of Company Net Cash (the “Company Net Cash Calculation”) and the date of delivery of such schedule being the “Company Net Cash Delivery Date”) as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Anticipated Closing Date (the “Company Cash Determination Time”) prepared and certified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company shall make available to Zordich, as reasonably requested by Zordich, the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Company Net Cash Schedule and, if reasonably requested by Zordich, the Company’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice. (c) No later than three (3) days after the Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Response Date”), the Company shall have the right to dispute any part of the Net Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to Zordich Vibrant (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail and to the extent known the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Net Cash Calculation and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed materials supporting the basis for such revisions. (d) No later than three (3) days after the Company Net Cash Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Company Net Cash Response Date”), Zordich shall have the right to dispute any part of the Company Net Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Company Net Cash Dispute Notice”). Any Company Net Cash Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail and to the extent known the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Company Net Cash Calculation and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed materials supporting the basis for such revisions. (ec) If, on or prior to the Response Date, the Company notifies Zordich Vibrant in writing that it has no objections to the Net Cash Calculation or, if on the Response Date, the Company fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.8(c2.8(b), then the Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. (f) If, on or prior to the Company Net Cash Response Date, Zordich notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Company Net Cash Calculation or, if on the Company Net Cash Response Date, Zordich fails to deliver a Company Net Cash Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.8(d), then the Company Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Company Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. (gd) If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Zordich Vibrant and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash, which agreed upon Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. (h) If Zordich delivers a Company Net Cash Dispute Notice on or prior to the Company Net Cash Response Date, then Representatives of Zordich and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Company Net Cash, which agreed upon Company Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. (ie) If Representatives of Zordich Vibrant and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash or Company Net Cash, as applicable, as of the Cash Determination Time pursuant to Section 2.8(g) or Section 2.8(h2.8(d) within three days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Zordich Vibrant and the Company may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Net Cash or Company Net Cash, as applicable, shall be referred to an independent auditor of recognized national standing jointly selected by Zordich Vibrant and the Company. If the parties are unable to select an independent auditor within five days, then either Zordich Vibrant or the Company may thereafter request that the Boston, Massachusetts Office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) make such selection (either the independent auditor jointly selected by both parties or such independent auditor selected by the AAA, the “Accounting Firm”). Zordich Vibrant and the Company shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Net Cash Schedule or Company Net Cash Schedule, as applicable, and the Dispute Notice and the Company Net Cash Dispute Notice, and Zordich Vibrant and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within 5 five (5) Business Days of accepting its selection. Zordich Vibrant and the Company shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Zordich Vibrant and the Company. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Net Cash or Company Net Cash, as applicable, made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of Zordich Vibrant and the Company, shall be final and binding on Zordich Vibrant and the Company and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash or Company Net Cash, as applicable, at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. The Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.8(i2.8(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Zordich Vibrant and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Net Cash or Company Net Cash, as applicable, that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Net Cash or Company Net Cash amount. If this Section 2.8(i2.8(e) applies as to the determination of the Net Cash or the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time described in Section 2.8(a), upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.8(i2.8(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine Net Cash or Company Net Cash again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Zordich Vibrant and the Company may request a redetermination of Net Cash or Company Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than 30 days after the Anticipated Closing Date. (j) All determinations made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be null and void, and the Parties shall again comply with the provisions of this Section 2.8, ab initio, in the event that for any reason the Required Zordich Stockholder Vote is not obtained within thirty (30) days of the Determination Date.
