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.

Access to such records shall not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their respective successors.
(ii) Following the Closing Date, Seller shall allow Buyer, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice and during normal business hours, through its affiliates, employees and representatives, the right to (x) examine and make copies, at Buyer’s expense, of the books and records of Seller retained by Seller and maintained by Seller after the Closing Date; but only to the extent that such books and records relate to the Acquired Companies; and (y) reasonable access to any of Seller’s employees, in the case of either clause (x) or (y), for the review of the June Financial Statements, and any other action or inquiry related to the procedures set forth in Section 1.4, regulatory and statutory filings, earnings releases, statistical supplements, financial statements and the conduct of any third-party litigation.

Post-Closing Deliverables (a) Within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, Seller and/or Seller’s Affiliates shall give any notices required to be given under the Material Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and shall further provide to Purchaser at Closing with true and complete copies of such notices. From and following the date of this Agreement, Seller and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain any consents or authorizations required under the terms of the Material Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and (ii) prepare the documents to be executed pursuant to Section 2.2(e) as required under the terms of the Material Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction. If, as of Closing (i) any notice has not been given or any authorization or consent has not been obtained under the terms of the Contracts included in the Assets (including as may be required under the terms of the Assumed Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction) or (ii) any conveyance or assignment documents required to vest title to all Owned Real Property and easements in the Company have not been executed prior to Closing, in each case other quitclaim deeds with respect to Owned Office Properties as specifically required to be delivered at Closing in accordance with Section 2.2(e), notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such failure shall not give rise to any right to indemnification under Article IX.
(b) Seller shall (i) for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to, as and when requested by Purchaser, give any notice that has not been given or obtain any authorization or consent that has not been obtained prior to the Closing that is required under the terms of the Contracts included in the Assets (including as may be required under the terms of the Assumed Contracts in connection with the consummation of the Transaction) and (ii) as soon as practicable following Closing (but no more than 90 days following Closing), deliver to Purchaser an accurate list and description of all Owned Real Property and execute and deliver to Purchaser all real estate conveyance documents required to vest title to all Owned Real Property and easements in the Company (to the extent not previously delivered at Closing). Following Closing, until such required notices are given or such required consents are obtained or such documents are executed, Seller agrees to enter into a commercially reasonable alternative arrangement to provide (and cause its Affiliates to provide, as applicable), the Company and Purchaser’s Affiliates with the benefits (e.g., in respect of any applicable Sign Location Lease, the right to operate the Structures on the property covered thereby) to which such notice or consent relates, including by enforcing at the written request of Purchaser (and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) any of the rights under such Contract (including the right of termination); and to the extent the Company (or Purchaser’s Affiliate) receives such benefits (or Seller enforces any rights under such Contract at Purchaser’s written request), Purchaser shall be responsible for the performance of the Seller’s obligations thereunder, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, acting in good faith and in the ordinary course of business. If within the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date (aa) either Party (or their Affiliates) receives written notice from a landowner or counterparty (or counsel for the landowner or counterparty) purporting to terminate a particular Sign Location Lease which is a Material Contract or a Bus Transit Contract, as a result of the failure to obtain a consent required by the terms of such lease or Bus Transit Contract, or (bb) any such landlord or counterparty files suit (or initiates arbitration, if applicable) against either Party (or their respective Affiliates) seeking termination of the applicable Sign Location Lease or Bus Transit Contract, as a result of the failure to obtain a consent required by the terms of such lease or Bus Transit Contract, or (cc) any such landowner or counterparty requires payment of a material sum or some other material concession from the Company in exchange for any such required consent (and in the case of a demand for a material sum of money, where Seller elects to not pay such amount upon request of the Company), then in each such instance, the Company or Purchaser may within ten days following the expiration of such twelve month period (or such later period as provided below) by written notice to Seller either (i) elect to relinquish all of its right, title and interest in and to such Sign Location Lease or Bus Transit Contract, as applicable (and any Assets solely related thereto), to Seller, in which case the Purchaser shall be entitled to a payment from Seller in an amount equal to that portion of the Purchase Price allocable to such item or asset, which shall be based on a multiple equal to the product of 7.1 times net revenues less site lease expense for calendar year 2014; or (ii) elect to retain such rights over the item or asset, in which case there would be no such payment to the Company or Purchaser, as applicable; provided, however, that (x) Purchaser shall upon request by Seller, assist and cooperate with Seller in effecting the commercially reasonable alternative arrangement referred to above and in obtaining the applicable required consent, and (y) before Purchaser shall have the right to exercise its rights under subpart (i) above, Seller shall have the right (at Seller’s sole cost) to defend any such action by a landlord or counterparty and/or to negotiate a settlement and/or cure any alleged breach of the applicable lease or Bus Transit Contract and so long as Seller is diligently doing so, Seller shall have until the expiration of the following periods to cure or settle such matter (i) if Purchaser is still permitted to operate at such location during the pendency of such matter, until such matter is finally adjudicated or (ii) if Purchaser is not permitted to operate at such location during the pendency of such matter and Seller elects not to replace the lost net cash flow at such location during the pendency of such matter, a two (2) month period from the date Purchaser is first not able to operate at such location (provided, further, that, in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, if Purchaser in good faith determines that the Company or Purchaser’s applicable Affiliate could reasonably be expected to be subject to liability to such landlord or counterparty by continuing to operate such asset, Purchaser may require that Seller confirm in writing to Purchaser Seller’s duty to defend and indemnify Purchaser with respect thereto, including but not limited to damages for trespass, where applicable). Purchaser acknowledges that failure to timely notify Seller of such an election in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of such Sign Location Lease or Bus Transit Contract, as applicable and related Assets and a relinquishment of any right to payment from Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts that may become due to Purchaser (or the Company) under this paragraph shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(c).
(c) As soon as practicable following the Closing (but no later than 90 days following Closing), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser Outdoor Advertising Permit transfer documents as are required to validly and fully transfer and assign all such Permits to the Company (or Purchaser’s designated Affiliate).
Post-Closing Requirements Borrowers shall complete each of the post-closing obligations and/or provide to Agent each of the documents, instruments, agreements and information listed on Schedule 7.4 attached hereto on or before the date set forth for each such item thereon, each of which shall be completed or provided in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.
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".
