Merger Consideration Adjustment (a) Following the Closing, the Merger Consideration shall be finally determined in accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Cash, the Final Closing Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses, the Final Working Capital, and the resulting Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.10, the following payments shall be made, as applicable:
(i) If the Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Adjustment Excess Amount”), then:
(A) Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the Adjustment Excess Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; and
(B) Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Paying Agent the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
(ii) If the Merger Consideration is equal to the Estimated Merger Consideration, then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Paying Agent the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
(iii) If the Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration (such difference, expressed as a positive number the “Adjustment Shortfall Amount”), then Purchaser and the Equityholder Representative shall:
(A) in the event the Adjustment Shortfall Amount is less than the Escrow Amount, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to (1) release to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Adjustment Shortfall Amount; and (2) deposit with the Paying Agent the remaining amounts of the Escrow Account (after payment of such Adjustment Shortfall Amount from the Escrow Account to Purchaser), pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement, for further payment to the Equityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; or
(B) in the event the Adjustment Shortfall Amount is equal to or greater than the Escrow Amount, (1) jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Purchaser from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Escrow Amount and (2) the Equityholders, severally and not jointly, shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser an amount equal to the remaining portion of such Adjustment Shortfall Amount, if any.
(c) Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to, as soon as practicable after the deposit with the Paying Agent of any amount pursuant to Section 2.8(b) (collectively, “Adjustment Consideration”), distribute to each Equityholder the portion of such Adjustment Consideration actually payable to such Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.2.
Capitalization Adjustments The number of Shares subject to the Option and the exercise price per Share shall be equitably and appropriately adjusted as provided in Section 12.2 of the Plan.
Anti-dilution Adjustment Other than in connection with Excepted Issuances (as such term is defined in the last sentence of this Section 8(b)), if within twelve months following the initial Closing of the sale of Shares in the Offering, the Company shall issue without the consent of the Majority Holders any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify the conversion or exercise price of any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share which shall be less than 100% of the price per share of the Shares purchased by such Subscriber (including any issuances of securities in connection with the closing of a registered primary offering of any securities of the Company in any jurisdiction), subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations (the “Lower Price Issuance”), then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber respecting the Purchased Securities that are then still owned by the Subscriber at the time of the Lower Price Issuance so that the average per share purchase price of the Purchased Securities owned by the Subscriber on the date of the Lower Price Issuance plus such additional shares issued to Subscriber pursuant to this Section 8(b) is equal to such other lower price per share. The delivery to Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the 5 Business Days after the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this Section 8(b), in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, the price per share shall be deemed to be the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the price paid for such derivative security plus (B) the aggregate amount of consideration to be paid upon conversion or exercise price of such security for the maximum number of shares for which the derivative security may be converted or exercised, by (ii) the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise price of such security for the maximum number of shares for which the derivative security may be converted or exercised. The adjustment described in this Section 8(b) shall be made immediately upon the earlier of (x) the issuance of the derivative security or (y) the Company entering into an agreement to issue the derivative security, in each case at a price lower than the price per Share in the Offering (which price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions and combinations), but such adjustment shall not be made again upon any issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of such derivative security. Any Common Stock or derivative security issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issuance will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.01 per share of Common Stock. The rights of Subscriber set forth in this Section 8 are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement, any Transaction Documents, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscriber and Company are parties. For purposes hereof, “Excepted Issuances” means the (i) Company’s issuances of securities comprising the full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity that has been approved by a majority of disinterested directors of the Company and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of common stock or its issuances or grants of options to purchase common stock to employees, directors, and officers of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, and (iv) the Company’s issuances of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments The number of shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its common stock in additional shares or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding common stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its shares, any other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), the number of share issuable upon conversion of this Debenture immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Conversion Shares, and other securities of the Company which such Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the Debenture been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities to holders of its shares, for no consideration, containing the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock, the number of Conversion Shares thereafter issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares theretofore issuable upon conversion of this Debenture by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities. In the event of such adjustment, corresponding adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Price.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to holders of its common shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), then in each case the number of Conversion Shares thereafter issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares theretofore issuable upon conversion of this Debenture by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price (as defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined as provided in subsection 6(f) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution. In the event of any such adjustment, the number of Conversion Shares shall also be adjusted and shall be that number determined by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise before the adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Price as so adjusted.
(d) If the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding issue shares (including additional shares deemed to be issued upon conversion of any convertible security, but excluding shares issued as a dividend or distribution or upon a stock split or combination which is otherwise provided for in Section 6(a) above, or upon the issuance of options or warrants for no consideration which is otherwise provided for in Section 6(b) above) either without consideration, or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by a full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment to such lesser price (calculated to the nearest cent). For purposes of this Section 6(d), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any additional shares shall be computed as follows:
Antidilution Adjustments If the Company shall at any time hereafter subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or declare a dividend payable in Common Stock, the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the subdivision, combination, or record date for such dividend payable in Common Stock shall forthwith be proportionately increased, in the case of combination, or proportionately decreased, in the case of subdivision or declaration of a dividend payable in Common Stock, and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately preceding such event, shall be changed to the number determined by dividing the then current exercise price by the exercise price as adjusted after such subdivision, combination, or dividend payable in Common Stock and multiplying the result of such division against the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately preceding such event, so as to achieve an exercise price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable after such event proportional to such exercise price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately preceding such event. All calculations hereunder shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market price per share of Common Stock on the day of exercise as determined in good faith by the Company. In case of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in the case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company into or with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a part of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale, as the case may be, lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of the Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise hereof, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which the holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale, the holder had held the number of Warrant Shares which were then purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holder of the Warrant, to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including provisions with respect to adjustments of the exercise price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment 1.9.1 Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) which shall set forth the Net Working Capital of the Newsprint Business and of Apache as of the Closing Time (which shall be set forth separately for each of the Newsprint Business and Apache, but as aggregated shall be referred to as the “Closing Net Working Capital”) and shall be prepared in accordance with Seller’s past accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures and in the same manner, with consistent classification and estimation methodology, as the Financial Statements were prepared, except that the Excluded Assets and the Newsprint Retained Obligations shall be excluded. The Closing Net Working Capital Statement may not be amended by Seller after it is delivered to Purchaser.
1.9.2 Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement to it, complete its review of the Closing Net Working Capital reflected on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. If Purchaser wishes to dispute the Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing in reasonable detail of such disagreement and any reason therefore (“Purchaser’s Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of Purchaser’s Objection and the adjustments to the Closing Net Working Capital that Purchaser believes should be made, on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period, which Purchaser’s Objection may not be amended by Purchaser after it is delivered to Seller (except to withdraw any such Purchaser’s Objection). Any items on the Closing Net Working Capital Statements not disputed in Purchaser’s Objection shall be irrevocably deemed to be accepted by Purchaser. Seller shall then have thirty (30) days to review and respond to Purchaser’s Objection. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items within thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Objection (the “Negotiation Period”), they shall refer their remaining differences to a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of national recognition (other than an independent accounting firm utilized by any of Seller, Apache or Purchaser or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing within the past three (3) years) acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser or if Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree as to such third party accounting firm within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the Negotiation Period, either Seller or Purchaser may request that the Chairman of the American Arbitration Association (or the nominated representative of the Chairman) appoint a third party accounting firm meeting the aforementioned requirements to resolve the dispute (the accounting firm selected being referred to as the “CPA Firm”), who shall determine, only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Net Working Capital requires adjustment. The procedure and schedule under which any dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm shall be as follows:
(a) Within ten (10) days after the later of (i) the end of the Negotiation Period and (ii) the selection of the CPA Firm, Purchaser shall submit any unresolved elements of the Purchaser’s Objection to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Seller), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to timely do so shall constitute a withdrawal by Purchaser of the Purchaser’s Objection with respect to any unresolved element to which such failure relates.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s submission of the unresolved elements of the Purchaser’s Objection as specified in sub-clause (a) above, Seller shall submit its response to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Purchaser), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to timely do so shall constitute an acceptance by Seller with respect to any unresolved elements to which such failure relates.
(c) The CPA Firm shall deliver its written determination to Purchaser and Seller no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the remaining differences underlying Purchaser’s Objection are referred to the CPA Firm, or such longer period of time as the CPA Firm determines is necessary.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or securities entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (upon conversion, exercise or otherwise) (including but not limited to under the Note), at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, elimination of an applicable floor price for any reason in the future (including but not limited to the passage of time or satisfaction of certain condition(s)), reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled or potentially entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price at any time while such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are in existence, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance (regardless of whether the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are (i) subsequently redeemed or retired by the Company after the date of the Dilutive Issuance or (ii) actually converted or exercised at such Base Share Price), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced at the option of the Holder and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment (for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment is calculated as follows: the total number of Warrant Shares multiplied by the initial Exercise Price in effect as of the Issuance Date). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued, regardless of whether the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are (i) subsequently redeemed or retired by the Company after the date of the Dilutive Issuance or (ii) actually converted or exercised at such Base Share Price by the holder thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may utilize the Base Share Price even if the Company did not actually issue shares of its common stock at the Base Share Price under the respective Common stock Equivalents). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.
Compensation Adjustments Any compensation agreed to hereunder may be adjusted from time to time by mutual agreement by attaching revised Schedules A or B to this Agreement.

Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries dated as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") showing the Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries at the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Net Worth Amount") and (ii) a schedule (the "Closing Debt Schedule") of the amount of Long Term Debt at the Closing Date (the "Preliminary Debt Amount"). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the definitions and procedures set forth on the Post-Closing Adjustment Schedule. In connection with the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule, Purchaser shall give, and shall cause the Acquired Company and its representatives to give, to Seller and its representatives full access at all reasonable times to the books, records and other materials of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries and the personnel of, and work papers prepared by or for Purchaser, the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries or their respective accountants, including, without limitation, to such historical financial information relating to the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries as Seller may reasonably request in order to permit the timely preparation and delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule in accordance with this Section 1.05(a).
(b) Upon receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule, Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days (the "Review Period") to review such Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Debt Schedule and related computations of the Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries and the Closing Debt on the Closing Date. If Purchaser has accepted such Closing Balance Sheet Closing Debt Schedule in writing or has not given written notice to Seller setting forth in reasonable detail any objection of Purchaser to such Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Debt Schedule(a "Statement of Objections") prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then such Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Debt Schedule shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the Preliminary Net Worth Amount shall be deemed the Net Worth amount of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the "Final Net Worth Amount") and the Preliminary Debt Amount shall be deemed to be the amount of Long Term Debt as of the Closing Date (the "Final Debt Amount"). In addition, to the extent any portion of the Closing Balance Sheet or of the calculation of the Preliminary Net Worth Amount, of the Closing Debt Schedule or of the calculation of the Preliminary Debt Amount shall not be expressly objected to in the Statement of Objections, such matters shall be deemed to have been accepted and approved by Purchaser and shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes hereof. In the event that Purchaser delivers a Statement of Objections during the Review Period, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the amount of Net Worth of the Acquired Company and the Subsidiaries on the Closing Date within thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller of the Statement of Objections. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to such amounts within such thirty (30) day period, then the matter shall be submitted to Deloitte & Touche LLP, or such other accountant as shall be mutually agreed between the parties hereto (such accountant, the "Settlement Accountant"), who shall determine the matters still in dispute and adjust the Closing Balance Sheet to reflect such determination and establish the Final Net Worth Amount and adjust the Closing Debt Schedule and establish the Final Debt Amount. If issues in dispute are submitted to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, each party will furnish to the Settlement Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Settlement Accountant may request, and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Settlement Accountant any material relating to the resolution of the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Settlement Accountant; provided, that no party shall have any ex parte discussions with the Settlement Accountant (other than after reasonable notice to the other party and such party's refusal or failure to participate). The Settlement Accountant will be instructed in performing the review that Purchaser and Seller will each be provided with copies of any and all correspondence and drafts distributed to any party, and Purchaser and Seller will be granted access to information contained in the documents made available to the Settlement Accountant by the other party. The Settlement Accountant shall determine only those matters in dispute (and based solely on the materials and other information presented by Seller and Purchaser and not by independent investigation). The Settlement Accountant shall make its determination within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter if the Settlement Accountant notifies the parties that it requires additional time to make such determination) following the submission of the matter to the Settlement Accountant for resolution, and such determination shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees, charges and expenses of the Settlement Accountant.
(c) In the event that the Final Net Worth Amount is greater than the Target Net Worth Amount, such excess is referred to herein as the "Excess Net Worth Amount".
(d) In the event that the Final Net Worth Amount is less than the Target Net Worth Amount, such deficiency is referred to herein as the "Net Worth Deficiency".
