Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller.

Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.
Closing Your Account Unless an agreement relating to a particular product or service says otherwise, you can close your Account at any time provided that you first settle any debit balance owing.
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable (a) The Seller agrees that it will utilize normal collection efforts consistent with past business practices of the Seller in collecting the outstanding accounts receivable of the Seller generated by the Purchased Assets as of the Effective Date. The Seller shall not undertake any formal collection action (whether legal action, referral to a collection agency or otherwise) with respect to any such Account Receivable without first consulting with the Buyer. The Seller agrees to pay, in a manner consistent with past business practice of the Seller, the outstanding accounts payable of the Seller as of the Effective Date. The Buyer shall not, and shall not permit its employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or agents to, directly or indirectly, encourage any customer of Seller not to make payment on any accounts receivable of Seller or commit any action which could reasonably lead or cause any customer not to make such a payment and the Buyer shall otherwise cooperate with Seller and its designees (and cause its personnel and accountants to cooperate) in Seller’s collection efforts.
(b) Both parties agree, as expeditiously as possible, to notify the Customers set forth on Exhibit 2.25, of the sale of the Purchased Assets, and to instruct such Customers that any monies due on invoices for service periods prior to the Effective Date shall be paid to Seller/Capital via the Capital lockbox mechanism, and all monies due on invoices for service periods subsequent to the Effective Date shall be paid to Buyer. The parties agree that in the event payments are received by either of the parties on accounts receivable from customers who are customers of both of the Buyer and Seller, and in the event that the customer has not provided instructions on the face of the remittance or any accompanying documentation or correspondence, the party receiving such payment shall contact the Customer to ascertain how the payment is to be applied. In the event such inquiry is unsuccessful, then such payments shall be applied first to the oldest outstanding invoice(s). In the event that either party receives proceeds of accounts receivable which belong to the other party, such party will immediately remit such proceeds, in kind, to the other party; provided, however, that, in the case of monies being received by Buyer and due to Seller, such proceeds shall be remitted to the Capital lockbox.
