Gross Asset Value The term "Gross Asset Value" means, with respect to any asset, the asset's adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:
Target Fair Market Value The Company agrees that the Target Business that it acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes) at the time of signing the definitive agreement for the Business Combination with such Target Business. The fair market value of such business must be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and book value. If the Board of Directors of the Company is not able to independently determine that the target business meets such fair market value requirement, the Company will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions. The Company is not required to obtain such an opinion as to the fair market value if the Company’s Board of Directors independently determines that the Target Business does have sufficient fair market value.

Net Asset Value The net asset value of each outstanding Share of the Trust shall be determined at such time or times on such days as the Trustees may determine, in accordance with the 1940 Act. The method of determination of net asset value shall be determined by the Trustees and shall be as set forth in the Prospectus or as may otherwise be determined by the Trustees. The power and duty to make the net asset value calculations may be delegated by the Trustees and shall be as generally set forth in the Prospectus or as may otherwise be determined by the Trustees.
Appraised Value If an Objecting Party objects in writing to the Initial Valuation within ten (10) days after its receipt of the Valuation Notice, the Objecting Party, within fourteen (14) days from the date of such written objection, shall engage an Independent Appraiser (the “First Appraiser”) to determine within thirty (30) days of such engagement the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Interests (the “First Appraised Value”). The cost of the First Appraiser shall be borne by the Objecting Party. If the First Appraised Value is at least eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value and less than or equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Purchase Price shall be the average of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value. If the First Appraised Value is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Value or more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Initial Value, then the Partnership and the Objecting Party shall, within fourteen (14) days from the date of the First Appraised Value, mutually agree on and engage a second Independent Appraiser (the “Final Appraiser”). The cost of the Final Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Partnership and the Objecting Party. The Final Appraiser shall determine within thirty (30) days after its engagement the Fair Market Value of the Partnership Interests, but if such determination is less than the lesser of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value then the lesser of the Initial Value and the First Appraised value shall be the value or if such determination is greater than the greater of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value then the greater of the Initial Value and the First Appraised Value shall be the value (the “Final Valuation”). The Purchase Price shall be equal to the Final Valuation and shall be final and binding upon the parties to this Agreement for purposes of the subject transaction.
Fair Market Value Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:
(a) If the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ"), National Market System, the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or the American Stock Exchange, LLC, then the closing or last sale price, respectively, reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date;
(b) If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or the American Stock Exchange, Inc., but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the last business day immediately preceding the Determination Date;
(c) Except as provided in clause (d) below, if the Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be decided; or
(d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.
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.
Market Value Market value shall be determined by the Lending Agent, where applicable, based upon the valuation policies adopted by the Client’s Board of Directors/Trustees.
Net Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Transaction Consideration which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.6, together with all underlying documentation supporting such calculations. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement.
(b) During the sixty (60) days immediately following delivery of the Closing Statement, Seller and its professional representatives shall be entitled to review the Closing Statement and any working papers, financial records, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Closing Statement prepared by the Purchaser or by Persons retained by it, and Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable access to work papers of Purchaser’s accountants relating thereto, and Purchaser shall make reasonably available the individuals in its and its Affiliates’ employ as well as representatives of its accountants responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of the Closing Statement, to respond to the reasonable inquiries of, or requests for information by Seller, during normal business hours. If Seller disputes any amounts as shown on the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis (including for each component, the difference and the amount thereof and reasons therefor) for the determination of such different amount. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) prepared and delivered by Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Any such disputes shall be limited to assertions that the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) was not calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.6. Any component not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be treated as final and binding. Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of thirty (30) days after Seller has given the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller resolve such differences, the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital agreed to by Purchaser and Seller shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. If Purchaser and Seller do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Seller has delivered the Dispute Notice, unless Purchaser and Seller mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences with respect to the adjustment under this Section 1.6 pursuant to an engagement agreement among Purchaser, Seller, and the Neutral Accountant (which Purchaser and Seller agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below. The Neutral Accountant shall have full authority to decide all of the issues or matters relating to the adjustments under this Section 1.6 (it being understood that in making such determination, the Neutral Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), but shall only decide the specific components under dispute in the Dispute Notice (the “Disputed Items”), strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant at which the other shall be entitled to be present and participate, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Purchaser, Seller, and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein); and Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve the differences between them and determine the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. Each of Purchaser and Seller, as a condition precedent to making a presentation to the Neutral Accountant and having the Neutral Accountant review its calculations, shall provide reasonable advance access to the other Party with respect to such materials and reasonably cooperate with the other Party in its review and analysis thereof. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of Purchaser and Seller (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement. The Closing Statement (and determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Neutral Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Neutral Accountant. Nothing in this Section 1.6(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the resolution of differences between Purchaser and Seller regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement (and Final Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein), it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Neutral Accountant shall have authority to resolve only matters of an accounting nature and shall not have authority to resolve any disputes of a legal nature (with any dispute as to whether a matter is of an accounting or legal nature to be resolved by the Neutral Accountant); or (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to any component of the Closing Statement and (Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein) that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by Purchaser and Seller.
(c) Promptly, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the final determination thereof, if the Final Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement: (i) exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Range Maximum (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration by reason of the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in Section 1.5(b)), Purchaser shall pay such excess amount to Seller; or (ii) is less than the Target Net Working Capital Range Minimum (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration by reason of the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in Section 1.5(b)), Seller shall pay such shortfall amount to Purchaser. To the extent the amount paid by Seller is less than such shortfall, Purchaser may, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, collect such amount from the Escrow Account. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VI are inapplicable to the adjustments to be made under this Section 1.6.
EBITDA The term “EBITDA” shall mean, with respect to any fiscal period, “Consolidated EBITDA” as defined in the Credit Agreement, provided that the following should also be excluded from the calculation of EBITDA to the extent not already excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA under the Credit Agreement: (i) Non-Cash Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement) related to any issuances of equity securities; (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Acquisition; (iii) financing fees (both cash and non-cash) relating to the Acquisition; (iv) covenant-not-to-compete payments to certain members of the Company’s senior management and related expenses; (v) expenses (or any portion thereof) incurred outside of the ordinary course of business that are approved by the Board which the Board determines in its good faith discretion are in the best interest of the Company but which will have a disproportionately adverse impact on the Company’s short term financial performance, affecting the Company’s ability to achieve financial targets related to the vesting of the Class C Units under the Incentive Unit Subscription Agreements or the Company’s annual bonus plan; (vi) costs and expenses incurred in connection with evaluating and consummating acquisitions not contemplated by the Company’s annual plan, as such plan is approved by the Board in good faith; (vii) related party expenditures that are subject to the prior written consent of the Majority Executives pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Securityholders Agreement but have failed to receive such consent; (viii) advisors’ fees and expenses incurred outside the ordinary course of business related solely to Vestar’s activities that are unrelated to the Company; (ix) costs associated with any put option or call option contemplated by any Rollover Subscription Agreement or Incentive Unit Subscription Agreement; (x) costs associated with any proposed initial Public Offering or Sale of the Company (as such terms are defined in the Securityholders Agreement); (xi) expenses related to any litigation arising from the Acquisition; (x) management fees and costs related to the activities giving rise to such fees that are paid to, paid for or reimbursed to Vestar and its Affiliates; and (xii) material expenditures or incremental expenditures inconsistent with prior practice (to the extent that prior practice is relevant) required by Board (where Management Managers (as defined in the Securityholders Agreement) unanimously dissent) unless such expenditures are reasonably likely to result in any benefit (whether economic or non-economic) to the Company as determined by the Board in its good faith discretion.
