Transfer Price 4.1. With regard to the Equity Transfer Option, the total Transfer Price to be paid by the WFOE or any other entity or individual designated by the WFOE to each Company Shareholder at each Exercise of Option by the WFOE shall be the capital contribution mirrored by the corresponding Transferred Equity in the Company Registered Capital. But if the lowest price permitted by the then-effective PRC Law is higher than the above capital contribution, the Transfer Price shall be the lowest price permitted by the PRC Law.
4.2. With regard to the Asset Purchase Option, the Transfer Price to be paid by the WFOE or any other entity or individual designated by the WFOE to the Company at each Exercise of Option by the WFOE shall be the net book value of the relevant Transferred Assets. But if the lowest price permitted by the then-effective PRC Law is higher than the net book value of the Transferred Assets, the Transfer Price shall be the lowest price permitted by the PRC Law.
Calculation of Purchase Price The bank’s ownership interest in a security will be quantified one of two ways: (i) number of shares or other units, as applicable (in the case of equity securities) or (ii) par value or notational amount, as applicable (in the case of non-equity securities). As a result, the purchase price (except where determined pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph) shall be calculated one of two ways, depending on whether or not the security is an equity security: (i) the purchase price for an equity security shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares or other units by the applicable market price per unit; and (ii) the purchase price for a non-equity security shall be an amount equal to the applicable market price (expressed as a decimal), multiplied by the par value for such security (based on the payment factor most recently widely available). The purchase price also shall include accrued interest as calculated below (see Calculation of Accrued Interest), except to the extent the parties may otherwise expressly agree, pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. If the factor used to determine the par value of any security for purposes of calculating the purchase price, is not for the period in which the Bank Closing Date occurs, then the purchase price for that security shall be subject to adjustment post-closing based on a “cancel and correct” procedure. Under this procedure, after such current factor becomes publicly available, the Receiver will recalculate the purchase price utilizing the current factor and related interest rate, and will notify the Assuming Institution of any difference and of the applicable amount due from one party to the other. Such amount will then be paid as part of the settlement process pursuant to Article VIII.
Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price (a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets and the Shares, subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 3.08(c), shall be an amount in cash (the “Purchase Price”) equal to (i) $32,000,000, minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, plus (iii) the Estimated Closing Date Cash, and minus (iv) the Inventory Adjustment, if any. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller at the Initial Closing in accordance with Section 3.08(b).
(b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Determination Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an allocation of the final Purchase Price (plus the amount of Assumed Liabilities and Liabilities of the Purchased Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent properly taken into account for U.S. federal and other applicable income tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets and the assets of the Purchased Subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes, consistent with the procedures in Section 3.08(c) and in accordance with applicable Law and taking into account Section 7.08 and the section 336(e) elections referred to in Section 7.04(d) (the “Allocation Statement”). If Buyer does not object to the Allocation Statement within thirty (30) days after receipt, the Allocation Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Buyer does object to the Allocation Statement within such period, then Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve promptly any such objection. If Buyer and Seller do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after Buyer has so objected (or such longer period as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller), then the dispute shall be resolved by the Auditor, and the procedures for such resolution (including the allocation of liability for the Auditor’s fees and expenses) shall be consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09(c) (with such provisions applying to this Section 3.07(b) mutatis mutandis). Promptly after any adjustment to the amount of
Determination of Purchase Price The Securities Administrator will be responsible for determining the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that is sold by the Trust or with respect to which provision is made for the escrow of funds pursuant to this Section 2.03 and shall at the time of any purchase or escrow certify such amounts to the Depositor; provided that the Securities Administrator may consult with the Servicer to determine the Purchase Price unless the Servicer is the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loan. If, for whatever reason, the Securities Administrator shall determine that there is a miscalculation of the amount to be paid to the Trust, the Securities Administrator shall from monies in a Distribution Account return any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such miscalculation to the applicable Purchaser upon the discovery of such overpayment, and the Securities Administrator shall collect from the applicable Purchaser for deposit to the Securities Account any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation upon the discovery of such underpayment. Recovery may be made either directly or by set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the Trust to such Purchaser.
Allocation of Purchase Price (a) No later than sixty (60) calendar days after the final determination of the Adjusted Payment Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a draft of a statement (the “Draft Allocation Statement”) setting forth the allocation of the total consideration paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Agreement among the Assets for purposes of Section 1060 of the Code. If, within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the Draft Allocation Statement, Seller shall not have objected in writing to such draft, the Draft Allocation Statement shall become the Final Allocation Statement, as defined below. If Seller objects to the Draft Allocation Statement in writing within such thirty (30) calendar-day period, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputed items. If, within ninety (90) calendar days after the final determination of the Adjusted Payment Amount in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.3, Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on such allocation, any disputed aspects of such allocation shall be resolved by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. The allocation of the total consideration, as agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller (as a result of either Seller’s failure to object to the Draft Allocation Statement or of good faith negotiations between Purchaser and Seller) or determined by an accounting firm under this Section 3.9(a) (the “Final Allocation Statement”), shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall bear all fees and costs incurred by it in connection with the determination of the allocation of the total consideration, except that the parties shall each pay one-half (50%) of the fees and expenses of such accounting firm.
(b) Purchaser and Seller shall report the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including income Tax reporting requirements imposed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code) in accordance with the allocation specified in the Final Allocation Statement. Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to timely file, or cause to be timely filed, IRS Form 8594 (or any comparable form under state or local Tax law) and any required attachment thereto in accordance with the Final Allocation Statement. Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” under Section 1313 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state or local law), neither Purchaser nor Seller shall take, or shall permit its Affiliates to take, a Tax position which is inconsistent with the Final Allocation Statement. In the event any party hereto receives notice of an audit in respect of the allocation of the consideration paid for the Assets, such party shall immediately notify the other party in writing as to the date and subject of such audit. Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be allocated among the Assets by reference to the item or items to which such adjustment is attributable.
Exchange Consideration On or promptly after an Exchange Date, provided the Partnership Unitholder has satisfied its obligations under Section 2.1(b)(i), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to register electronically in the name of such Partnership Unitholder (or its designee) in book-entry form the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the applicable Exchange, or, if the Company has so elected, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Partnership Unitholder (or its designee), the Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation (in lieu of the Partnership) to have the Company acquire Exchangeable Units directly from an exchanging Partnership Unitholder in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock or, at the option of the Company, the Cash Settlement. If an exchanging Partnership Unitholder receives the shares of Class A Common Stock or the Cash Settlement that such Partnership Unitholder is entitled to receive from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the Partnership Unitholder shall have no further right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock from the Partnership or the Company in connection with that Exchange. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.1(c) to the contrary, to the extent the Class A Common Stock is settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Partnership or the Company will, pursuant to the Exchange Notice submitted by the Partnership Unitholder, deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable to such exchanging Partnership Unitholder through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to the account of the participant of The Depository Trust Company designated by such exchanging Partnership Unitholder in the Exchange Notice. Upon any Exchange, the Partnership or the Company, as applicable, shall take such actions as (A) may be required to ensure that such Partnership Unitholder receives the shares of Class A Common Stock or the Cash Settlement that such exchanging Partnership Unitholder is entitled to receive in connection with such Exchange pursuant to this Section 2.1 and (B) may be reasonably within its control that would cause such Exchange to be treated for purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement as an “Exchange” (as such term is defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company elects a Cash Settlement, the Company shall only be obligated to contribute to the Partnership (or, if the Company elects to settle directly pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii), settle directly for an amount equal to), an amount in respect of such Cash Settlement equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the sale by the Company of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Exchangeable Units being Exchanged for such Cash Settlement. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Company shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be treated as paying an appropriate portion of the selling expenses described in the previous sentence as agent for and on behalf of the exchanging Partnership Unitholder.
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Within 90 days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth:
(i) the Buyer’s determination of the actual amounts of (A) the Adjustment Amount, including the Final Adjustment Amount Overage or the Final Adjustment Amount Underage (the “Final Adjustment Amount”), and (B) the Seller Indebtedness Amount, in each case as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date without taking into account any of the transactions to be completed on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) a calculation of any adjustments to the Closing Payment based on such calculations (the adjusted Closing Payment as a result of such calculation being the “Final Closing Payment”); and
(iii) a calculation of the accounts receivable contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Amount that were not collected by Buyer within the thirty (30) days immediately following the Closing and the accounts receivable existing at the Closing but not taken into account in calculating the Adjustment Amount (the “Excluded AR”).
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule, the Seller may deliver a notice to Buyer either: (i) concurring with the Closing Schedule (a “Notice of Concurrence”); or (ii) disagreeing therewith (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Seller delivers a Notice of Disagreement, then it shall be accompanied by the Seller’s proposed revisions to the Closing Schedule. If the Seller fails to deliver any notice within such 15-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Concurrence.
(c) If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and if the Final Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Concurrence.
(d) If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered, then the Seller and the Buyer shall, during the 15-day period following such delivery (the “Negotiation Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Final Adjustment Amount. If, during such period, the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement, they promptly shall engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each such party (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the disagreement, and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is more than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of such resolution.
(e) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
Adjustments to Purchase Price The Purchase Price shall be adjusted at the Closing Date and at the Final Settlement Date as follows:
(a) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by the sum of the following, without duplication:
(i) the value of all merchantable allowable Hydrocarbons in storage above the pipeline connection at the Effective Time, and not previously sold, that is credited to the Properties, such value to be the actual sales price for such Hydrocarbons, or if not yet sold or the actual sales price is not known as of the time of preparation of the Closing Settlement Statement, then the market price as of the Effective Time, less taxes, gravity adjustments and other costs deducted by the purchaser of such Hydrocarbons;
(ii) the amount of all Operating Expenses which relate to and were incurred during any period from and after the Effective Time (or, if relating to a period that is in part from and after the Effective Time, that part of such Operating Expenses that relate to the period from and after the Effective Time) and that are paid by or on behalf of Target prior to the Closing Date in connection with the operation and development of the Properties from and after the Effective Time, but excluding any and all Disallowed Expenses;
(iii) an amount equal to all prepaid expenses attributable to the Properties that are paid by or on behalf of Target prior to the Closing Date and that are, in accordance with GAAP (except for Asset Taxes, in which case in accordance with the Tax Allocation Methodology), attributable to the ownership or operation of the Properties during the period from and after the Effective Time (or, if relating to a period that is in part from and after the Effective Time, that part of such expenditures that relates to the period from and after the Effective Time) including, without limitation, prepaid utility charges, prepaid Asset Taxes (but not including Income Taxes, franchise taxes or gross receipts taxes) based upon or measured by the ownership of the Properties or the production of hydrocarbons or the receipt of proceeds therefrom, but excluding any and all Disallowed Expenses;
(iv) any other amount required under this Agreement or otherwise agreed upon by Buyer and Owners to be added to the Purchase Price.
(b) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward by the sum of the following, without duplication:
(i) the amount of all proceeds actually received by or on behalf of Target prior to the Closing Date and attributable to Hydrocarbon production from the Properties from and after the Effective Time, less amounts actually paid by or on behalf of Target as Burdens or as production, gathering, processing and transportation costs, and less any production, severance, sales or excise Taxes not reimbursed to Target by the purchaser of such Hydrocarbon production, to the extent such deductions are not otherwise accounted for in an any upward adjustment to the Purchase Price;
(ii) an amount equal to all Asset Taxes (but not including Income Taxes, franchise taxes or gross receipts taxes) that are (A) unpaid as of the Closing Date, (B) based upon or measured by the ownership of the Properties or the production of Hydrocarbons therefrom (including the receipt of proceeds therefrom) and (C) accruing to the Properties in accordance with the Tax Allocation Methodology prior to the Effective Time, which amount shall, to the extent not actually assessed, be computed based upon such taxes and assessments for the preceding calendar year or, if such taxes or assessments are assessed on other than a calendar year basis, for the tax related year last ended;
(iii) the amount of all Operating Expenses which relate to any period prior to the Effective Time (or, if relating to a period that is in part prior to the Effective Time, that part of such Operating Expenses that relate to the period prior to the Effective Time) and that are unpaid as of the Closing Date, and the amount of all Disallowed Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing Date; and
(iv) any other amounts required under this Agreement or otherwise agreed upon by Buyer and Owners.

Balance of Purchase Price The balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash or by certified funds at the Closing (as defined below).
Purchase Price Adjustments (a) The Parties agree that, so long as any distributions made are reflected in Closing Working Capital and in any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 1.4(c), the Seller shall have the right, at or prior to the Closing, to cause the Company to distribute cash to the Seller or its Affiliates, by one or more dividends and/or other distributions.
(b) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”), in accordance with the Accounting Principles, which shall include (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the total Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of the Working Capital Deficit or the Working Capital Excess, as the case may be (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Buyer’s calculation of the Target Working Capital), (iv) a calculation of Closing Cash, (v) a calculation of Closing Indebtedness, (vi) a calculation of Transaction Expenses and (vii) the Buyer’s determination of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) resulting therefrom. For purposes of the Buyer’s preparation of the Closing Statement, the Seller shall make available or provide reasonable access to the Buyer and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Certificate, to the extent not in the possession of the Company or the Buyer. The Seller shall have a period of 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement to review (and cause the Seller’s auditors to review) such documents and make any objections it may have in writing to the Buyer. For purposes of the Seller’s evaluation of the Closing Statement, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, make available or provide reasonable access to the Seller and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement; and shall permit reasonable access, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, to the facilities and personnel of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Seller and its Representatives to analyze the Closing Statement. If the Seller delivers written objections to the Buyer within such 30-day period, then the Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no written objections are made by the Seller within such 30-day period, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to the Closing Statement cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller within 30 calendar days after timely delivery of any objections thereto, then, at the request of the Buyer or the Seller, the specific matters in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to such independent accounting firm as may be approved by the Seller and the Buyer (the “Auditors”), which firm shall render its opinion as to such specific matters. If no such referral is made within 45 calendar days after the delivery of the objections, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If all objections are so resolved between the Parties prior to such time, the Closing Statement with such changes as have been agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between the Buyer and the Seller. The Parties shall cooperate with the Auditors during its engagement, and the Auditors shall have access to the books and records of the Company and the Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Parties’ accountants to the extent that they relate to the unresolved disputes as it may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing such unresolved disputes, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Buyer, the Company or the Seller. The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputes along with their determination of the Final Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. As to each disputed item, the Auditors shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the Buyer’s proposal, on the one hand, or the Seller’s proposal, on the other hand, and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Auditors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Auditors in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Auditors, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses). If the Parties refer a dispute to the Auditors and if the Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as claimed by the Buyer), then the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid out pursuant to Section 1.4(c) after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4.
(c) If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and if the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds is less than the amount due to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4, then at the Buyer’s option the Buyer may recover the remaining amount from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or require the Seller to pay such amount to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer will pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess and the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds. Any payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
