Final Closing Statement Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Holder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement” and, in its final and binding form as determined below, the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the Closing Consideration and each component thereof as of immediately prior to the Closing, including final determinations as to the amounts of (A) the Company Cash, (B) the Funded Debt and (C) the Closing Net Working Capital. The Final Closing Statement and the components thereof shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Holder Representative shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement. During the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the Holder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, the Holder Representative shall be permitted to review Parent’s working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following the Holder Representative’s receipt thereof, unless the Holder Representative shall give written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Parent prior to such date and (y) the date that the Holder Representative notifies Parent of its acceptance thereof. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the resolution in writing of all disagreements the parties may have with respect thereto (whether by the written agreement of the parties or pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth below). During the thirty (30) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Parent and the Holder Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Parent and its agents and Representatives shall be permitted to review the Holder Representative’s and its Representatives’ working papers relating to the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of the thirty (30)-day period referred to above, the matters in dispute have not been fully resolved, then the parties shall submit to Ernst & Young LLP (or such other mutually agreed independent accountants of nationally recognized standing) (any such accounting firm, the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall make a final determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The parties will reasonably cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. The Accounting Firm shall be provided reasonable access to the books, records and other relevant information of the Company, Parent and the Holder Representative to the extent necessary to calculate the Closing Consideration. In resolving any matters in dispute, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on presentations by Parent and the Holder Representative which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Absent fraud committed by the Accounting Firm or manifest error (as to which Parent and the Holder Representative mutually agree), the Closing Statement and the determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties (which the Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver not more than forty-five (45) days following submission of such disputed matters). The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine solely the matters in dispute based solely on the submissions and responses of Parent, on the one hand, and the Holder Representative, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm shall allocate its costs and expenses between Parent and the Holder Representative, on behalf of the Holders, based upon the percentage of the contested amount submitted to the Accounting Firm that is ultimately awarded to Parent, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders, on the other hand, such that Parent bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Holders and the Holders bear a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Parent (such amount payable by the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders to be deducted from the Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback and retained by Parent in accordance with Section 4.1(c)(ii)).
Assignment of Membership Interests The Assignment of Membership Interests shall have been fully executed and delivered to Purchaser.
