Related to Estimated Purchase Price Statement of Closing Net Working Capital and Review Procedures

• Final Closing Statement During the thirty (30) days following the date upon which Seller received the Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Buyer shall attempt in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If at the end of such thirty (30) day period (or earlier by mutual agreement to arbitrate), Buyer and Seller have not reached agreement on such matters, the matters that remain in dispute may be submitted to an arbitrator (the "Closing Statement Arbitrator") by either Party for review and resolution. The Closing Statement Arbitrator shall be a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller in writing. The hearing date will be scheduled by the Closing Statement Arbitrator as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall be conducted on a confidential basis. Each Party shall, not later than seven days prior to the hearing date set by the Closing Statement Arbitrator, submit a brief with dollar figures for settlement of the disputes as to the amount of the Adjusted Purchase Price (together with a proposed Closing Statement that reflects such figures). The figures submitted need not be the figures discussed during prior conversations. The Closing Statement Arbitrator shall render a decision resolving the matters in dispute (which decision shall include a written statement of findings and conclusions) within three Business Days after the conclusion of the hearing, unless the Parties reach agreement prior thereto and withdraw the dispute from arbitration. The Closing Statement Arbitrator shall provide to the Parties explanations in writing of the reasons for its decisions regarding the Adjusted Purchase Price and shall issue the Final Closing Statement reflecting such decisions. The decision of the Closing Statement Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties. The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Closing Statement Arbitrator) pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. The fees and disbursements of Seller's independent auditors incurred in connection with the procedures performed with respect to the Closing Statement shall be borne by Seller and the fees and disbursements of Buyer's independent auditors incurred in connection with their preparation of the Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Buyer. As used in this Agreement, the term "Final Closing Statement" shall mean the revised Closing Statement described in Section 3.4(a), as prepared by Seller and as may be subsequently adjusted to reflect any subsequent written agreement between the Parties with respect thereto, or if submitted to the Closing Statement Arbitrator, the Closing Statement issued by the Closing Statement Arbitrator.

• Estimated Closing Statement Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified in writing by an executive officer of the Seller, setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Seller’s good faith calculation, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, of the estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and the components thereof; (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be; and (iii) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (the resulting amount, the “Estimated Purchase Price”), in each case calculated pursuant to the Accounting Principles. The Seller and the Owner, during the period from the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement through the Closing Date, shall, and shall cause their respective managers, officers, employees, accountants, and other relevant advisors to, provide the Buyer (and its auditors, advisors, counsel, and other representatives) reasonable access to the books and records, outside accounting firm, working papers (subject to the execution of customary access letters), personnel, and facilities of the Seller in order to complete their review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, and the Seller shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Buyer to the Estimated Closing Statement. The Buyer’s failure to make any comment regarding, or to dispute any amount included in, the Estimated Closing Statement shall not limit, or have any effect on, the Buyer’s rights pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to conduct a review of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be, and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price. The Seller and the Owner shall cooperate with the Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to resolve any reasonable objection the Buyer may have to the estimates or calculations contained therein.

• Closing Statement (a) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to Buyer a written statement of estimated Current Assets and Current Liabilities as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Estimated Closing Statement") containing the Company's good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital Amount (the "Estimated Net Working Capital Amount"), which shall reflect the items required to be set forth in, and be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of, the Closing Statement, in each case in accordance with Section 4.6(b); provided, however, that for purposes of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the parties hereto agree that 50% of the amount of Fuel Sensor Damages (x) actually expended by Parent or the Company from March 1, 2011 through the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date and (y) accrued as current liabilities on the Estimated Closing Statement, shall be added as a credit to the estimated Net Working Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement. Commencing with the Company's delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement to Buyer, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the books and records and personnel of the Company and the opportunity to consult with the Company for purposes of confirming or disputing the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If Buyer shall disagree, in good faith, with any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then Buyer and the Company shall work, in good faith, to reach agreement on such disputed items and the amounts as agreed to by Buyer and the Company shall constitute the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's agreement with the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount (or any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount) shall not foreclose, prevent, limit or preclude any rights or remedy of Buyer set forth in this Agreement. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is more than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount.

• Preliminary Closing Statement At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Escrow Agent shall prepare and submit to each of Buyer and the Seller Parties preliminary Closing statements, showing the Parties’ respective amounts of Closing costs, the Deposit, the net credit due to the Seller Parties or Buyer under Section 2.5 and the net amount of funds required to be deposited by Buyer in order to effect Closing hereunder.

• 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.

• Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within 15 days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will prepare or cause to be prepared a combined balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet") showing the amount of Closing Date Working Capital, along with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculating Closing Date Working Capital, which shall be in accordance with GAAP and consistent with the methodology used in Target Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.5 below), and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Shareholders such Closing Date Balance Sheet. In the event that the Shareholders object to the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, then, within 30 days after the delivery to the Shareholders of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Shareholders shall deliver to the Purchaser a notice describing in reasonable detail the Shareholders' objection to the Purchaser's calculation (an "Objection Notice"), accompanied by a statement setting forth the dollar amount determined by the Shareholders to represent the Closing Date Working Capital or a request for additional information from the Purchaser that the Shareholders may require in order to determine the Closing Date Working Capital. If the Shareholders do not deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the 30-day period referred to in the preceding sentence, then the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital shall be binding and conclusive on the Purchaser and the Shareholders. If the Shareholders deliver an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within the 30-day period referred to in this paragraph, and if the Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to agree upon the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital within 15 days after an Objection Notice is delivered to the Purchaser, the Shareholders and the Purchaser shall select a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to them (the "Neutral Accountant") to resolve any remaining objections, the cost of which shall be paid by the party whose assertions regarding the amount of the Closing Date Working Capital differ by the greater amount from the Closing Date Working Capital determined by the Neutral Accountant. If Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to select the Neutral Accountant within 10 days after the commencement of such selection process, the Neutral Accountant shall be KPMG (or its successor). The Shareholders and the Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Neutral Accountant to resolve any unresolved objections within 30 days after referral of the matter to them, and the determination by the Neutral Accountant of the Closing Date Working Capital, shall be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser and Shareholders absent fraud or manifest error. During the 30-day period following the Objection Notice, Shareholders and Purchaser shall each have access to the other party's working papers and similar materials prepared in connection with the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Objection Notice, as the case may be.

• 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.
