Estimated Purchase Price Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause the Company to deliver to the Buyer a good faith estimate of the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”) together with the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”). The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet (i) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the format and methodology of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, (ii) subject to the adjustments set forth on the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, shall be in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Company’s past practices (to the extent such past practices are consistent with GAAP), and (iii) may exclude all footnotes. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be certified as meeting the foregoing requirements by the Seller. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Purchase Price shall be accompanied by all relevant backup materials and schedules, in detail reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, including, without limitation, the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Closing Book Value, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses. As promptly as practicable, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the Seller’s delivery of the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyer shall identify to the Seller any adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet that the Buyer reasonably believes are required to accurately calculate the Estimated Purchase Price. In the event the Buyer has identified any adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, then not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Seller shall re-deliver or cause the Company to re-deliver to the Buyer a revised Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet, setting forth the adjustments that the Seller believes in good faith to be required to accurately calculate the Estimated Purchase Price based on the Seller’s discussions with the Buyer, together with the Seller’s resulting estimate of the Estimated Purchase Price.
Closing Adjustment Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a certificate signed by an officer of each of the Sellers attaching reasonable and good faith estimates (the “Closing Estimates”) of each of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”); (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”); (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Fees (the “Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees”); and (v) the Closing Adjustment (as defined below). Each of the Closing Estimates shall be determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodology. Purchasers shall be entitled to review, and propose reasonable changes to the Closing Estimates and Sellers shall provide Purchasers and their Representatives with reasonable access, at reasonable times following prior notice, to the officers, employees, agreements and books and records of the Transferred Entities to verify the accuracy of such amounts. The Sellers shall consider the Purchasers’ proposed changes in good faith. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on any proposed changes, the Closing Estimates (and the components thereof) as proposed by the Sellers shall control solely for purposes of payments to be made at Closing and shall not limit or otherwise effect the Purchasers’ remedies under this Agreement or otherwise constitute an acknowledgment by Purchasers of the accuracy of the Closing Estimates. The “Closing Adjustment” shall equal (i) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, plus (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, less (iii) the Target Working Capital, less (iv) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, and (v) less the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees.
Post-Closing Adjustment (i) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”) that shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s calculation of the net amount of all adjustments to the Base Purchase Price required by Section 2.6(a) taking into account actual data (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”), together with reasonable supporting material regarding the computation thereof. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to review the Closing Statement following receipt thereof. On or before the end of such 30-day review period, Buyer may object to the Closing Statement by written notice to Seller (the “Objection Notice”), setting forth Buyer’s specific objections to the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment. Such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which Buyer disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount (and reasonable supporting material therefor), and shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in a timely-delivered Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with Seller’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and neither party may thereafter dispute any item or amount not set forth in such Objection Notice. If Buyer does not timely deliver any Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with and accepted Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment, and the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties as of the end of Buyer’s 30-day review period.
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) As soon as reasonably practicable, following each Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, a Final Closing Statement for each Target Business Segment that is the subject of such Closing and a certificate of the chief financial officer directly overseeing the Target Companies comprising such Target Business Segment certifying that the Final Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and engage Deloitte and Touche LLP (or such other registered public accounting firm of international reputation which is mutually acceptable to Parent and Purchaser) (the “Accounting Expert”) to (i) audit the Final Closing Statement and issue a report thereon, and (ii) certify in writing to Parent and Purchaser that such audit was conducted in accordance with the terms hereof, and Purchaser shall cause such report and such certificate to be produced no later than 120 days following each Closing Date.

The Final Closing Statement shall be final and binding and shall be used in determining the Adjustment Amount, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Expert shall be borne by Parent.
Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment (a) As soon as practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Griffon a single statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) the Net Working Capital, (ii) based on such Net Working Capital amount, the Net Working Capital Adjustment, (iii) the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, (iv) the Closing Date Cash, (v) the Transaction Related Expenses and the components thereof in reasonable detail. Buyer’s calculation of the Net Working Capital, the Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, the Closing Date Cash and the Transaction Related Expenses set forth in the Closing Statement shall be prepared and calculated in good faith, and in the manner and on a basis consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Accounting Principles (in the case of Net Working Capital) and the definitions thereof, and in the case of Net Working Capital shall also be in the same form and include the same line items as the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation, and shall otherwise (x) not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) be based on facts and circumstances as they exist as of the Closing and (z) exclude the effect of any decision or event occurring on or after the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Accounting Principles are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies. If the Closing Statement is not so timely delivered by Buyer for any reason, then the Estimated Closing Statement shall be considered for all purposes of this Agreement as the Closing Statement, from which the Seller will have all of its rights under this Section 2.7 with respect thereto, including the right to dispute the calculations set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(b) and Section 2.7(c) mutatis mutandis.

The Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement, including the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash and the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount and the Current Blocker Tax Liabilities shall be determined on a consolidated basis using the Agreed Accounting Principles, and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase or other non-cash accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, including the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash and the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.7 is to measure the amount of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount, the Closing Consideration, and the Current Blocker Tax Liabilities, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement or determining the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Indebtedness, the Holder Expenses, the Closing Date Cash, the Closing Date Other Adjustment Amount, and the Current Blocker Tax Liabilities unless such differences are required by GAAP.

Closing Adjustments To the extent that any prorations, adjustments or other amounts with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property shall be payable by or to the Contributors at or following each Closing in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, the amount of the purchase consideration determined pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be adjusted accordingly, it being acknowledged and agreed by each Contributor that from and after the date hereof, (i) the Contributed Entity shall not declare, pay or otherwise make provision for any dividends or distributions and (ii) immediately prior to the Closing, in addition to any prorations, adjustments or other amounts payable by or to the Contributors with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property, the Contributed Entity shall distribute to each Contributor receiving Securities an amount equal to the amount such Contributor would have been paid as a distribution on account of the Securities it will receive at Closing had such Securities been issued and sold to such Contributor at the Initial Closing.
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
