Cost of Living Adjustment For each year following the Initial Term, unless the parties shall otherwise agree and provided that the service mix and volumes remain consistent as previously provided in the Initial Term, the total fee for all services shall equal the fee that would be charged for the same services based on a fee rate (as reflected in a fee rate schedule) increased by the percentage increase for the twelve-month period of such previous calendar year of the CPI-W (defined below) or, in the event that publication of such index is terminated, any successor or substitute index, appropriately adjusted, acceptable to both parties. As used herein, “CPI-W” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (Area: Boston-Brockton-Nashua, MA-NH-ME-CT; Base Period: 1982-84=100), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Contributor Parties shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Acquiror a preliminary settlement statement (the “Estimated Adjustment Statement”) setting forth (i) an estimated combined balance sheet of the Compression Group Entities as of the Closing Date, which balance sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied consistently with the Contributor Parties’ past practices (including its preparation of the Unaudited Financial Statements) (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”) based on the most recent financial information of the Compression Group Entities reasonably available to the Contributor Parties and the Contributor Parties’ reasonable estimates with respect to the assets, liabilities and members’ equity of the Compression Group Entities as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the difference, if any, between the Net Working Capital shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and the Net Working Capital Threshold, (iii) a calculation of the Debt shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Date Debt”), (iv) a calculation of the Cash shown on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash Amount”) and (v) a calculation of the estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount. Acquiror shall have the right, following Acquiror’s receipt of the Estimated Adjustment Statement, to object thereto by delivering written notice to ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, no later than two Business Days before the Closing Date. To the extent Acquiror timely objects to the Estimated Adjustment Statement (or any component thereof), Acquiror and ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, shall enter into good faith negotiations and attempt to resolve any such objection; provided, however, that if Acquiror and ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, are unable to resolve such objection prior to the Closing Date, then the Contributor Parties’ calculations as reflected in the Estimated Adjustment Statement shall control solely for purposes of the payments to be made at Closing. To the extent Acquiror and ETP, on behalf of the Contributor Parties, resolve any such objection prior to the Closing, then the Parties shall jointly agree on a revised Estimated Adjustment Statement that shall control solely for purposes of the payments to be made at the Closing. The estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount that controls for purposes of the payments to be made at the Closing is referred to herein as the “Estimated Purchase Price Adjustment Amount.”
