The parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement and calculating Final Merger Consideration is solely to (x) accurately measure the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, and Transaction Expenses and (y) measure the difference in Closing Net Working Capital from Target Net Working Capital, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies than those set forth in the Accounting Principles for the purpose of calculating Final Merger Consideration or Estimated Merger Consideration. (b) On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following Representative’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, the Representative will give Buyer a written notice stating in reasonable detail the Representative’s objections (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, if any.

(c) Following Xxxxx’s receipt of any Notice of Disagreement, the Representative and Xxxxx will discuss in good faith to resolve the disputed matters set forth therein. In the event that the Representative and Xxxxx fail to agree on any of the Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives the Notice of Disagreement, the Representative and Buyer agree use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause a nationally recognized independent accounting or valuation firm mutually acceptable to the Representative and Buyer (the “Firm”), within forty-five (45) days immediately following such first thirty (30)-day period, to make the final written determination of all matters which remain in dispute that were included in the Notice of Disagreement.

For example, if the Representative submits a Notice of Disagreement for $1,000, and if Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Representative. (d) If the Estimated Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), the number of Buyer Shares equal to (i) the Excess Amount divided by (ii) $6.19, shall, on a pro rata basis among the Stockholders, be automatically cancelled for no consideration. (e) If the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Adjustment Amount”), within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Merger Consideration is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.07(b) or Section 1.07(c), Buyer shall issue to each Stockholder, on a pro rata basis among the Stockholders, the number of Buyer Shares equal to (i) the Adjustment Amount divided by (ii) $6.19. (f) Buyer shall take all necessary actions, including updating its capitalization table to effect the cancellation or issuance of Buyer Shares as set forth in Section 1.07(d) or Section 1.07(e).

For example, if the Representative submits a Notice of Disagreement for $1,000, and if Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Representative.

The accounting firm so agreed to by Buyer and the Representative or the third accounting firm so selected by the two accounting firms in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Firm”. Buyer and the Representative will mutually instruct the Firm to, and the Firm will, make a final determination of the items included in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement (to the extent such amounts are in dispute) solely in accordance with this Agreement (including the Accounting Principles)Agreement. Xxxxx Buyer and the Representative will execute a customary engagement letter and will cooperate with the Firm during the term of its engagement.

The fees, costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Representative, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Firm) bears to the total amount of disputed items submitted. For example, if the Representative submits a Notice of Disagreement for $1,000, and if Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Representative.

The Adjustment Escrow Account is Buyer’s and Merger Sub’s sole and exclusive source of recovery for any Excess Amount owing to Buyer, be automatically cancelled for no considerationMerger Sub or, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation hereunder. (eii) If the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Adjustment Amount”), within five then (5i) Business Days after Buyer will make payment of the date on which Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Representative (or its designee), and (ii) Buyer and the Representative will deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to make payment of the Adjustment Escrow Funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account to the Representative (or its designee).

Promptly thereafter, the Representative will notify the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent, as applicable, of such calculations and the amount that should be distributed by them to each Stockholder and to the Surviving Corporation on behalf of each Optionholder based upon the calculations and re-calculations contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, each Stockholder and Optionholder will receive the difference between (x) the amounts payable to such Stockholder or Optionholder based upon the calculations and re-calculations contemplated by this Section 1.07(g) and (y) the Closing Stock Payment or Closing Option Payment received by such Stockholder or Optionholder, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 1.07(g), making such calculation as though all Closing Option Payments had been made without regard to reductions under any Retention Arrangement).

If, at the time of the calculation of Final Adjusted Merger Consideration, the Representative determines to retain funds in the Representative Holdback Amount under Section 11.18(b), and at any time and from time to time thereafter determines a portion of such funds should be distributed to the Stockholders and Optionholders, then at each such time, the Representative will in good faith determine the appropriate amounts to be paid to the Stockholders and Optionholders from the Representative Holdback Amount and will cause such amounts to be paid from the Representative Holdback Amount to the Stockholders and to the Surviving Corporation on behalf of the Optionholders. As promptly as practicable following the receipt of funds for the Optionholders and, in any event, no later than the next scheduled payroll of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Company will distribute to the Optionholders any payments received on their behalf under this Section 1.07(g). None of the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Buyer shall take all necessary actions, including updating its capitalization table will have any liability or obligation to effect any Stockholder or Optionholder or the cancellation or issuance Representative for any distribution made in accordance with the instructions of Buyer Shares as set forth in the Representative pursuant to this Section 1.07(d) or Section 1.07(e1.07(g). (gh) The parties hereto agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.07 shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
