Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries dated as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") showing the Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries at the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Net Worth Amount") and (ii) a schedule (the "Closing Debt Schedule") of the amount of Long Term Debt at the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Debt Amount"). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions and procedures set forth on the Post-Closing Adjustment Schedule. In connection with the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule, Purchaser shall give, and shall cause the Acquired Company and its representatives to give, to Seller and its representatives full access at all reasonable times to the books, records and other materials of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries and the personnel of, and work papers prepared by or for Purchaser, the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries or their respective accountants, including, without limitation, to such historical financial information relating to the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries as Seller may reasonably request in order to permit the timely preparation and delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule in accordance with this Section 1.05(a).
(b) Upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule, Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days (the "Review Period") to review such Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule and related computations of the Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries and the Closing Debt on the Closing Date. If Purchaser has accepted such Closing Balance Sheet Closing Debt Schedule in writing or has not given written notice to Seller setting forth in reasonable detail any objection of Purchaser to such Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Debt Schedule(a "Statement of Objections") prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then such Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Debt Schedule shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the Preliminary Net Worth Amount shall be deemed the Net Worth amount of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the "Final Net Worth Amount") and the Preliminary Debt Amount shall be deemed to be the amount of Long Term Debt as of the Closing Date (the "Final Debt Amount"). In addition, to the extent any portion of the Closing Balance Sheet or of the calculation of the Preliminary Net Worth Amount, of the Closing Debt Schedule or of the calculation of the Preliminary Debt Amount shall not be expressly objected to in the Statement of Objections, such matters shall be deemed to have been accepted and approved by Purchaser and shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes hereof. In the event that Purchaser delivers a Statement of Objections during the Review Period, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the amount of Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries on the Closing Date within thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller of the Statement of Objections. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to such amounts within such thirty (30) day period, then the matter shall be submitted to Deloitte & Touche LLP, or such other accountant as shall be mutually agreed between the parties hereto (such accountant, the "Settlement Accountant"), who shall determine the matters still in dispute and adjust the Closing Balance Sheet to reflect such determination and establish the Final Net Worth Amount and adjust the Closing Debt Schedule and establish the Final Debt Amount. If issues in dispute are submitted to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, each party will furnish to the Settlement Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Settlement Accountant may request, and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Settlement Accountant any material relating to the resolution of the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Settlement Accountant; provided, that no party shall have any ex parte discussions with the Settlement Accountant (other than after reasonable notice to the other party and such party's refusal or failure to participate). The Settlement Accountant will be instructed in performing the review that Purchaser and Seller will each be provided with copies of any and all correspondence and drafts distributed to any party, and Purchaser and Seller will be granted access to information contained in the documents made available to the Settlement Accountant by the other party. The Settlement Accountant shall determine only those matters in dispute (and based solely on the materials and other information presented by Seller and Purchaser and not by independent investigation). The Settlement Accountant shall make its determination within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter if the Settlement Accountant notifies the parties that it requires additional time to make such determination) following the submission of the matter to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, and such determination shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees, charges and expenses of the Settlement Accountant.
(c) In the event that the Final Net Worth Amount is greater than the Target Net Worth Amount, such excess is referred to herein as the "Excess Net Worth Amount".
(d) In the event that the Final Net Worth Amount is less than the Target Net Worth Amount, such deficiency is referred to herein as the "Net Worth Deficiency".
Closing Escrow The Closing shall take place by means of a so called “New York style” escrow (the “Closing Escrow”), and, at or prior to the Closing, the Parties shall enter into a closing escrow agreement with the Escrow Agent with respect to the Closing Escrow in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent (the “Closing Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be deposited with Escrow Agent, (ii) all of the documents required to be delivered by Seller and Purchaser at Closing pursuant to this Agreement shall be deposited with Escrow Agent, and (iii) at Closing, the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1) and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be disbursed to Seller and the documents deposited into the Closing Escrow shall be delivered to Seller and Purchaser (as the case may be) pursuant to the Closing Escrow Agreement.

(b) Following the Closing, for so long as such information is retained by Buyer in accordance with Section 5.8(a), Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company, to permit Seller and its authorized Representatives, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to have reasonable access and duplication rights during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior written notice to Buyer to the information described in Section 5.8(a) to the extent that such access may be reasonably required in connection with (i) the preparation of any Tax Return, accounting records or with respect to any Tax Claim or similar proceedings, (ii) any Action relating to Seller, the Company or the Rolling Mill Business, (iii) any Governmental Filing or matter (including investigations by Governmental Authorities) or (iv) any other valid legal or business purpose.

(c) Following the Closing, for so long as such information is retained by Seller in accordance with Section 5.8(a), Seller shall permit Buyer and its authorized Representatives, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, to have reasonable access and duplication rights during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior written notice to Seller, to the information described in Section 5.8(a) to the extent that such access may be reasonably required in connection with (i) the preparation of any Tax Return, accounting records or with any Tax Claim or similar proceedings, (ii) any Action relating to the Company or the Rolling Mill Business, (iii) any Governmental Filing or matter (including investigations by Governmental Authorities) or (iv) any other valid legal or business purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no right of access to, and Seller shall have no obligation to provide, (A) any information if doing so would reasonably be expected to (1) violate any Contract or Law to which Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party or is subject,
Closing Adjustment At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Statement”) setting forth an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date and an estimated calculation of (i) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), and (iii) Seller’s calculation of the amount payable under Section 2.2(a) on the basis of the Estimated Statement, in each case, along with reasonable supporting detail to evidence the calculation of such amount. The Estimated Statement and all calculations therein shall be determined as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date and in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, and using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in the preparation of the Audited Balance Sheet and the Example Net Working Capital Calculation. Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Books and Records of the Acquired Companies and shall cause the personnel of the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate with Buyer for the purpose of enabling Buyer to calculate, and to review Seller’s calculation of Estimated Net Working Capital and Estimated Cash and such amounts shall be adjusted in response to any reasonable comments of Buyer provided prior to the Closing. The amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be (i) increased or decreased, respectively, dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Estimated Net Working Capital is more than or less than Target Net Working Capital and (ii) increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Cash (provided that in no event shall the Estimated Cash exceed the Maximum Cash Amount); provided, however, that in the event of a decrease, in lieu of decreasing the amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i), the Deferred Payment Amount shall first be decreased by up to an aggregate of $2,000,000, and, if applicable, thereafter the amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be decreased by the amount in excess of $2,000,000.
Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event
(a) the Final Purchase Price is more than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, or
(b) the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.
