Adjustment Amount (a) Schedule 2.16 sets forth a sample calculation of the Adjustment Amount and the Target Adjustment Amount as of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Sample Closing Statement”), including the asset, liability and other line items and accounting principles used in such calculation, and assuming that all of such asset and liability line items that constitute Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities under this Agreement will be transferred to Mallinckrodt as of the Distribution.
(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Distribution Date, Mallinckrodt shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Covidien a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the Adjustment Amount and the calculation of the Adjustment Amount and (ii) the Target Adjustment Amount and the calculation of the Target Adjustment Amount. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, including the use of the same line items and line item entries, set forth on and used in the preparation of the Sample Closing Statement; provided, however, that assets newly acquired and liabilities newly incurred following the date of the Sample Closing Statement which cannot be appropriately placed in line items previously used by Mallinckrodt, but that constitute Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities, will also be included to the extent consistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles.
(c) Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Covidien of the Closing Statement, Covidien shall deliver written notice to Mallinckrodt of any dispute Covidien has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”); provided, however, that if Covidien does not deliver any Dispute Notice to Mallinckrodt within such thirty (30)-day period, the Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Any Dispute Notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for any dispute included therein, the amounts involved and Covidien’s determination of the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) and (ii) include only disagreements based on the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) not being calculated properly in accordance with this Agreement or containing mathematical errors. Upon receipt by Mallinckrodt of a Dispute Notice, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set forth therein. If Mallinckrodt and Covidien, such good faith effort notwithstanding, fail to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by Mallinckrodt of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Period”), then Mallinckrodt and Covidien jointly shall engage, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, Ernst & Young LLP or, if Ernst & Young LLP is unavailable or conflicted, another nationally recognized major accounting firm selected jointly by Covidien and Mallinckrodt (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve any such dispute. If Ernst & Young LLP is unavailable or conflicted and Covidien and Mallinckrodt are unable to agree on the Independent Accounting Firm, then each of Covidien and Mallinckrodt shall select a nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall each prepare and submit a presentation detailing each Party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of each issue still in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm. Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than thirty (30) days following such presentations, make a final determination, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that remain in dispute as indicated in the Dispute Notice. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Covidien or Mallinckrodt, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts set forth by Mallinckrodt in the Closing Statement or by Covidien in the Dispute Notice, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether any determination of the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) was properly calculated in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, and the Independent Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether GAAP was followed, to the extent GAAP is inconsistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Covidien and Mallinckrodt. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Closing Statement, as modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error.
(d) For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.16, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall cooperate with and make available to each other and their respective Representatives all information, records, data and working papers, in each case, to the extent related to the Mallinckrodt Assets, Mallinckrodt Liabilities or Mallinckrodt Business, and shall permit access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder.
(e) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), is greater than the Target Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), by at least $20 million, then Mallinckrodt shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the difference from the first dollar (i.e., without regard to the $20 million threshold) to Covidien by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Covidien to Mallinckrodt. If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), is less than the Target Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), by at least $20 million, then Covidien shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the difference from the first dollar (i.e., without regard to the $20 million threshold) to Mallinckrodt by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Mallinckrodt to Covidien. Any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Adjustment Amount and the Target Adjustment Amount have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16.
Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Promptly after the Closing Date, and in any event not later than twenty (20) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”), setting forth Seller’s good faith calculation of (i) Closing Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, and (v) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price, together with reasonable supporting detail and documentation. The Post-Closing Statement shall be accompanied by a certificate of an executive officer of Seller stating that the Post-Closing Statement has been prepared in accordance with this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles (to the extent applicable) and the definitions set forth herein. Purchaser shall give Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to the premises, books and records, and appropriate personnel of the Business, the Conveyed Companies and Purchaser for purposes of the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 2.4(a), and Purchaser shall instruct its personnel (including the Transferred Employees) and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Seller and its Representatives. Upon execution of a customary access letter if required by the applicable Party’s outside accountants, each Party and its Representatives shall have reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the other Party or its Representatives (including its outside accountants) to the extent related to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and/or Transaction Expenses in any respect. Following delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, Seller shall afford Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to Sellers’ and its Affiliates’ appropriate personnel involved in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement.
(b) Purchaser and Purchaser’s accountants and financial and other advisors may make inquiries of Seller and/or Seller’s accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Post-Closing Statement arising in the course of Purchaser’s review, and Seller shall instruct its personnel and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with, and promptly and completely respond to all reasonable requests and inquiries of, Purchaser and its Representatives. Purchaser shall complete its review of the Post-Closing Statement within seventy-five (75) days after the delivery thereof to Purchaser. In no event later than the conclusion of such seventy-five (75) day period, Purchaser may submit to Seller a letter regarding its concurrence or disagreement with the accuracy of the Post-Closing Statement; provided that any such letter must specify (i) the items of the Post-Closing Statement with which Purchaser disagrees, (ii) the adjustments that Purchaser proposes to be made to the Post-Closing Statement (each, a “Disputed Item”) and (iii) the specific amount of such disagreement and all reasonable supporting detail and documentation and calculations (the “Purchaser Objection Statement”); and provided, further, that Purchaser may only disagree with the Post-Closing Statement to the extent Purchaser claims Seller did not prepare the Post-Closing Statement in a manner consistent with the Accounting Principles (to the extent applicable) or the terms of this Agreement (including the definitions set forth herein). If Purchaser does not deliver a Purchaser Objection Statement before the conclusion of such seventy-five (75) day period, the Post-Closing Statement shall be final and binding upon the Parties and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Post-Closing Statement. If Purchaser does deliver a Purchaser Objection Statement, following such delivery, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve promptly any disagreement as to the computation of any item in the Post-Closing Statement. Any items as to which there is no disagreement shall be deemed agreed. If a resolution of such disagreement has not been effected within ten (10) days (or longer, as mutually agreed by the Parties) after delivery of the Purchaser Objection Statement, then Seller and Purchaser shall execute a customary engagement letter with the Accountant and submit any unresolved Disputed
Earn-Out Payment (a) The Earn-Out Amount, if any, due to the Company shall be paid by Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by the Company no later than two (2) months following the day of final determination of such Earn-Out Amount in accordance with Section 2.03(b) and Section 2.03(c) below.
(b) Within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of each Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Company a reasonably detailed statement (each, an “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Earn-Out Amount for such period together with reasonable supporting information. The Company may dispute the calculation of such Earn-Out Amount by providing written notice (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. If the Company does not provide an Earn-Out Dispute Notice, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final upon the end of such thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement to the Company. An Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide the Company and its Representatives with reasonable access, information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of an Earn-Out Statement. In the event of any such disputes, Purchaser and the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Purchaser and the Company reflecting such resolution. If Purchaser and the Company are able to reach a resolution, such Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final. If Purchaser and the Company are unable to reach such resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s delivery of an Earn-Out Dispute Notice to Purchaser, then Purchaser and the Company shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final binding resolution to the Designated Accounting Firm. If any remaining disputed items are submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm for resolution, (i) each Party will furnish to the Designated Accounting Firm such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Designated Accounting Firm may request and are available to such Party, and each Party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Designated Accounting Firm any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within forty-five (45) calendar days of submission of the disputed items to the Designated Accounting Firm; (iii) the determination by the Designated Accounting Firm, as set forth in a written notice to Purchaser and the Company, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Company and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Designated Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Designated Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted to the Designated Accounting Firm, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective Party incurring such expense. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve any item in dispute by making an adjustment to the Earn-Out Statement that is outside of the range for such item defined by the Earn-Out Statement and an Earn-Out Dispute Notice. In calculating the Earn-Out Amount, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputes referred to in an Earn-Out Dispute Notice.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, an Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Company upon the earliest of (i) the failure of the Company to deliver to Purchaser an Earn-Out Dispute Notice within thirty (30) calendar days of Purchaser’s delivery of such Earn-Out Statement to the Company; (ii) the resolution of all disputes by Purchaser and the Company, documented in a writing executed by the Parties; and (iii) the resolution of all disputes by the Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 2.03(b).
(d) The Parties understand and agree that (i) any sale event (including stock purchase or all of substantially all of the respective stock, asset purchase or all of substantially all of the respective assets, merger, combination, exclusive license having the effect of a sale or other change of control, whether direct or indirect, whether by operation of law or otherwise) involving Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing shall (A) not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Section 2.03, and (B) require, as a condition precedent to such sale event, that the acquiror or surviving corporation, as the case may be, assume (whether expressly or by operation of law) this Agreement as part of the sale event and be liable for the payment of all amounts under this Section 2.03, and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to any applicable withholding Tax or as provided in Article VIII with respect to indemnification obligations of the Company and Parent, that the Earn-Out Amount payable hereunder shall be made without any deduction, abatement, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever.
(e) During an Earn-Out Period, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to, and to cause its Affiliates not to, act in bad faith with respect to attaining any Revenue for the purpose of reducing the Earn-Out Amount.
Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Within 90 days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth:
(i) the Buyer’s determination of the actual amounts of (A) the Adjustment Amount, including the Final Adjustment Amount Overage or the Final Adjustment Amount Underage (the “Final Adjustment Amount”), and (B) the Seller Indebtedness Amount, in each case as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date without taking into account any of the transactions to be completed on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) a calculation of any adjustments to the Closing Payment based on such calculations (the adjusted Closing Payment as a result of such calculation being the “Final Closing Payment”); and
(iii) a calculation of the accounts receivable contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Amount that were not collected by Buyer within the thirty (30) days immediately following the Closing and the accounts receivable existing at the Closing but not taken into account in calculating the Adjustment Amount (the “Excluded AR”).
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule, the Seller may deliver a notice to Buyer either: (i) concurring with the Closing Schedule (a “Notice of Concurrence”); or (ii) disagreeing therewith (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Seller delivers a Notice of Disagreement, then it shall be accompanied by the Seller’s proposed revisions to the Closing Schedule. If the Seller fails to deliver any notice within such 15-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Concurrence.
(c) If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and if the Final Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Concurrence.
(d) If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered, then the Seller and the Buyer shall, during the 15-day period following such delivery (the “Negotiation Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Final Adjustment Amount. If, during such period, the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement, they promptly shall engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each such party (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the disagreement, and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is more than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of such resolution.
(e) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
Tax Adjustment Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord's agent as Additional Rent, an amount ("Tax Adjustment Amount") equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the amount of Taxes incurred with respect to each Calendar Year plus Tenant's pro rata share of the special allocation of Taxes to occupied premises if the last sentence of Section 3A(iii) is applicable for such Calendar Year. The Tax Adjustment Amount with respect to each Calendar Year shall be paid in monthly installments during such Calendar Year in an amount estimated from time to time by Landlord and communicated by written notice to Tenant. If Taxes for any Calendar Year are payable in whole or in part before the end of such Calendar Year, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the written request of Landlord, promptly pay its Proportionate Share of such payment as a special installment, after deducting installments previously paid by Tenant under this Section 3D for such Calendar Year. Following the final payment of Taxes for each Calendar Year, Landlord shall cause the amount of the Tax Adjustment Amount for such Calendar Year to be computed and delivered to Tenant a statement of such amount plus a statement of all estimated installments paid by Tenant for such Calendar Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency shown by such statements within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement. If the installments paid exceed the actual amount due (such excess is sometimes referred to herein as the "Taxes Credit Amount"), Landlord shall credit the Taxes Credit Amount against payments next due to Landlord from Tenant hereunder; provided that, if the Taxes Credit Amount exceeds the amount of payments next due to Landlord from Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall promptly pay Tenant the amount by which the Taxes Credit Amount exceeds the amount of payments next due to Landlord from Tenant hereunder. The amount of any refund of Taxes received by Landlord shall be credited against Taxes for the year in which such refund is received. In determining the amount of Taxes for any year, the amount of special assessments to be included shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest payable thereon) of such special assessment required to be paid during such year as if the Landlord had elected to have such special assessment paid over the maximum period of time permitted by law. All references to Taxes "for" a particular year shall be deemed to refer to Taxes due and payable during such year without regard to when such Taxes are levied or assessed. Delay in computation of the Tax Adjustment Amount shall not be deemed a default hereunder or a waiver of Landlord's right to collect the Tax Adjustment Amount. In no event shall Landlord collect any amounts with respect to Taxes which would, when taken together with those amounts collected by Landlord from other tenants in the Building (and in the event the Building is less than 100% occupied, paid directly by Landlord), exceed 100% of the actual Taxes for any Calendar Year.
Payment and Year-End Adjustment Amounts accrued pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable to the Adviser as of the last day of each month. If necessary, on or before the last day of the first month of each fiscal year, an adjustment payment shall be made by the appropriate party in order that the actual Fund Operating Expenses of a Fund for the prior fiscal year (including any reimbursement payments hereunder with respect to such fiscal year) do not exceed the Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit.
Closing Adjustment (a) The Company shall deliver to Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a statement that sets forth the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the balance sheet of the Company as of the Measurement Time (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles; (ii) the Closing Date Net Working Capital and, based thereon, the Adjustment Amount; (iii) the Company Cash and, based thereon, the amount of the Company Cash Deficiency (if any), (iv) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (v) the Company Transaction Expenses and, based thereon, (vi) the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) and the Cash Consideration (the “Estimated Cash Consideration”), together with reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating each component thereof and such documentation and access to the Company’s Books and Records as is reasonably requested by Buyer to permit Buyer to review the calculation of amounts set forth therein. Buyer shall have the ability to review and provide comments to (i) – (vi) above and the Company shall consider in good faith Buyer’s comments.
(b) No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Members’ Representative a statement that sets forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) the balance sheet of the Company as of the Measurement Time (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, (ii) the Closing Date Net Working Capital and, based thereon, the Adjustment Amount, (iii) the Company Cash and, based thereon, the amount of the Company Cash Deficiency (if any), (iv) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (v) the Company Transaction Expenses and, based thereon, (vi) the Purchase Price and the Cash Consideration, together with reasonably detailed supporting calculations demonstrating each component thereof (the “Closing Date Statement”).
(c) The Members’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Date Statement in which to notify Buyer in writing (such notice, a “Closing Date Dispute Notice”) of any discrepancy in, or disagreement with, the items reflected on the Closing Date Statement (and specifying the amount of each item in dispute and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such discrepancy or disagreement), and upon agreement by Buyer regarding the adjustment requested by the Members’ Representative, an appropriate adjustment shall be made thereto. If the Members’ Representative does not deliver a Closing Date Dispute Notice to Buyer during such thirty (30)-day period, the Closing Date Statement shall be deemed to be accepted in the form presented to the Members’ Representative. If the Members’ Representative timely delivers a Closing Date Dispute Notice and Buyer and the Members’ Representative do not agree, within thirty (30) days after timely delivery of the Closing Date Dispute Notice, to resolve any discrepancy or disagreement therein, either the Members’ Representative or Buyer may submit the discrepancy or disagreement for review and final determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, it being understood that in making such determination, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The review by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited solely to the discrepancies and disagreements set forth in the Closing Date Dispute Notice and a single written submission to the Independent Accounting Firm by each of Buyer and the Members’ Representative with respect to such discrepancies and disagreements (which shall also be provided to the other party). The resolution of such discrepancies and disagreements and the determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the resulting Adjustment Amount, the Company Cash and the resulting Company Cash Deficiency (if any), the Closing Indebtedness Amount, and the Company Transaction Expenses by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be (i) in writing, (ii) made in accordance with the Accounting Principles, definitions and relevant provisions of this Agreement, (iii) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, no greater than the higher amount calculated by Buyer or the Members’ Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Buyer or the Members’ Representative as the case may be, (iv) made as promptly as practicable after the submission of such discrepancies and disagreements to the Independent Accounting Firm (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of submission), and (v) final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns for all purposes hereof, and not subject to collateral attack for any reason absent manifest error or fraud. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated to and borne by Buyer and the Members (in accordance with their respective Purchase Price Escrow Pro Rata Portions, which may be paid out of the Representative Expense Fund to the extent thereof) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, should the aggregate value of the items in dispute equal $1,000 and the Independent Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of the Members’ Representative’s position and $400 in favor of Buyer, then sixty percent (60%) of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and forty percent (40%) of such costs would be borne by the Members’ Representative (on behalf of the Members). Within five (5) Business Days of the resolution of all matters set forth in the Closing Date Dispute Notice, by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Members’ Representative or by the Independent Accounting Firm, Buyer shall prepare a revised version of the Closing Date Statement including an updated Purchase Price and Cash Consideration (the “Final Purchase Price”) reflecting such resolution and shall deliver copies thereof to the Members’ Representative, and such revised version (and all amounts set forth therein) shall be considered final and binding on the parties (the “Final Closing Date Statement”).
(d) If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to the Payment Agent for distribution to the Members on behalf of TopCo in connection with the Redemption the entire amount of such difference in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and Buyer and the Members’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to the Payment Agent the entire balance of the Purchase Price Escrow Fund, in each case for further distribution to the Members in accordance with the applicable Consideration Spreadsheet and such Members’ Purchase Price Escrow Pro Rata Portions. If the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price, the Members’ Representative (on behalf of each Member) and Buyer shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the entire amount of such difference to Buyer out of the Purchase Price Escrow Fund, with any remaining balance of the Purchase Price Escrow Fund to be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Payment Agent (for further distribution to the Members in accordance with the applicable Consideration Spreadsheet and such Members’ Purchase Price Escrow Pro Rata Portions); provided, however, that if the amount payable to Buyer under this Section 1.9(d) exceeds the Purchase Price Escrow Fund (a “Purchase Price Excess”), Buyer shall have the right to require the Members, severally and not jointly, in each case based on their then current respective Purchase Price Escrow Pro Rata Portions to pay to Buyer the Purchase Price Excess in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If the Final Purchase Price is equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, there shall not be any adjustment.
(e) Any payments made pursuant to Section 1.9 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Payment Adjustments Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, any payment pursuant to this Article: (a) shall be subject to (i) any delay in payment or reduction required by Section 5.2 hereof, and (b) shall be subject to a set-off equal to the gross amount of any current or deferred compensation, including wages, salary, fees, benefits, tangible or intangible property or ownership rights or interests or other property rights, received by Executive or which he becomes entitled to receive in the future as remuneration for services to any Person, business or other entity as a result of, or in exchange for, any work or services performed, or any intellectual property conveyed by Executive, during the Restricted Period (“Remuneration”), provided that the foregoing provision shall in no way limit or impair Executive’s obligations or the Bank’s rights under Article 3 or Article 4 of this Agreement. Executive understands and agrees that the Bank’s set-off rights will accrue, and any set-off pursuant to this provision will be applied to any non-compete payments due (or previously paid or accrued), after the earlier of Executive’s receipt or accrual of Remuneration (the Set-off Date), and if Executive is not entitled to further payments under this Agreement, Executive agrees to refund the setoff amount in full to the Bank within fourteen (14 days) of Executive’s Certification reporting such remuneration or the Set-off Date, whichever is later.
True-Up Adjustments From time to time, until the Retirement of the Recovery Bonds, the Servicer shall identify the need for True-Up Adjustments and shall take all reasonable action to obtain and implement such True-Up Adjustments, all in accordance with the following:
