Closing Balance Sheet (a) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared the balance sheet of the Subject Company as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet"). Within fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver the Closing Balance Sheet to Seller, accompanied by (i) a certificate of an executive officer of Purchaser to the effect that (except with respect to adjustments required by this Agreement) the Closing Balance Sheet has been prepared and presented consistent with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis with the preparation of the Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.6), and fairly presents the financial position of the Subject Company as of the Closing Date and (ii) a statement documenting the calculation of the Working Capital ("Working Capital Calculation Statement"). The Closing Balance Sheet and Working Capital Calculation Statement shall be audited by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, independent public accountants of Purchaser ("Purchaser's Auditor"), and reviewed by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent public accountants of Seller ("Seller's Auditor"), who will be afforded full access to all books and records of the Subject Company and work papers used by Purchaser's Auditor in its audit. Purchaser's Auditor will issue a report to Purchaser and Seller within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date concerning their audit and stating that the Closing Balance Sheet has been prepared in accordance with GAAP, it being understood that the report of Purchaser's Auditor must be unqualified.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days following the date on which the report of Purchaser's Auditor is delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a), Seller shall give notice to Purchaser as to whether or not Seller's Auditor concurs with Purchaser's Auditor's report (such notice to contain Seller's Auditor's comments and exceptions to the Closing Balance Sheet, if any). If Seller gives notice that Seller's Auditor does not concur with Purchaser's Auditor's report and the parties are unable to mutually resolve Seller's Auditor's exceptions within ten (10) days following the date of such notice, then within twenty (20) days following the date of such notice Purchaser and Purchaser's Auditor and Seller and Seller's Auditor shall jointly select and retain an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing and reputation (the "Independent Firm") for the purpose of resolving all remaining unresolved issues with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Working Capital Calculation Statement. In the event that Seller and Seller's Auditor, on the one hand, and Purchaser and Purchaser's Auditor, on the other hand, are unable to agree upon the firm to be selected as the Independent Firm within such twenty (20) day period, then such selection shall be made by an independent arbitrator agreed upon from a list of three arbitrators supplied, at Purchaser's request, within five days after the expiration of the twenty-day period, to Purchaser and Seller from the American Arbitration Association, and the retention of the Independent Firm shall be made by Seller and Purchaser within five (5) days after such list is supplied.
(c) Within ten (10) days following such retention of the Independent Firm, Seller shall cause Seller's Auditor, and Purchaser shall cause Purchaser's Auditor, to present to the Independent Firm the issue or issues that must be resolved with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Purchase Price.
(d) Seller and Purchaser shall use their best efforts to cause the Independent Firm to render its decision as soon as is reasonably practicable, including, without limitation, prompt compliance with all reasonable requests by the Independent Firm for information, papers, books, records and the like; provided that Seller and Purchaser agree that the purpose of retention of the Independent Firm shall not include the conduct of its own independent audit of the Closing Balance Sheet, but rather shall be limited to resolving the issues presented to it and matters related thereto. All decisions of the Independent Firm with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Working Capital Calculation Statement shall be final and binding upon both Seller and Purchaser.
(e) Purchaser and Seller shall bear all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses of their own respective auditor associated with performance of their respective functions pursuant to this Section 1.5. For purposes of this Agreement, payment of all fees, costs, disbursements and other expenses of the Independent Firm which are incurred pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be (i) split evenly between Seller and Purchaser if the amount of Working Capital arrived at by the Independent Firm is in the range that is greater than 25% of the Working Capital Differential (as defined below) plus the Working Capital determined by Purchaser's Auditor and less than the difference of the Working Capital determined by Seller's Auditor minus 25% of the Working Capital Differential, or (ii) by (A) Seller, if the amount of the Working Capital arrived at by the Independent Firm is less than or equal to 25% of the Working Capital Differential plus the Working Capital determined by Purchaser's Auditor, or (B) Purchaser, if the amount of the Working Capital arrived at by the Independent Firm is greater than or equal to the difference of the Working Capital determined by Seller's Auditor minus 25% of the Working Capital Differential. The "Working Capital Differential" shall mean the amount of the Working Capital determined by Seller's Auditor less the amount of the Working Capital determined by Purchaser's Auditor.
Closing Date Balance Sheet (i) As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause its independent certified public accountants ("Purchaser's Accountants") to prepare and deliver to Sellers a draft consolidated balance sheet (the "Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet") for the Acquired Companies as of the opening of business on the Effective Date. The Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet (i) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and AICPA review standards applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the financial statements described in Section 5.4 hereof but without regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) shall set forth the total liabilities (excluding any tax liability of the Company resulting from Purchaser's election to treat the stock purchase as a purchase of assets under the provisions of Section 338 of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Acquired Companies as of the opening of business on the Effective Date (the "Closing Date Total Liabilities") and the stockholder's equity (defined as the difference between the Acquired Companies' assets minus their total liabilities) of the Acquired Companies as of the opening of business on the Effective Date (the "Closing Date Stockholder's Equity").
(ii) If Sellers holding a majority of the Shares (the "Requisite Sellers") have any objections to the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, they will deliver a statement describing in detail their objections to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receiving the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet. If no such objections are delivered by the Requisite Sellers within such thirty (30) day period, the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be deemed accepted by the Sellers. The Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers will use reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections themselves. If the Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has received the statement of objections, however, the Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers will select an accounting firm mutually acceptable to them to resolve any remaining objections. If the Purchaser and the Requisite Sellers are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm, they will select a nationally-recognized accounting firm by lot (after excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms). The determination of any accounting firm so selected will be set forth in writing and will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Purchaser will revise the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(ii). The ``Closing Date Balance Sheet'' shall mean the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet together with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(ii).
Statements of Reconciliation after Change in Accounting Principles If, as a result of any change in accounting principles and policies from those used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) will differ in any material respect from the consolidated financial statements that would have been delivered pursuant to such subdivisions had no such change in accounting principles and policies been made, then, together with the first delivery of such financial statements after such change, one or more statements of reconciliation for all such prior financial statements in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
