Purchase Price Adjustments (a) The Parties agree that, so long as any distributions made are reflected in Closing Working Capital and in any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 1.4(c), the Seller shall have the right, at or prior to the Closing, to cause the Company to distribute cash to the Seller or its Affiliates, by one or more dividends and/or other distributions.
(b) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”), in accordance with the Accounting Principles, which shall include (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the total Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of the Working Capital Deficit or the Working Capital Excess, as the case may be (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Buyer’s calculation of the Target Working Capital), (iv) a calculation of Closing Cash, (v) a calculation of Closing Indebtedness, (vi) a calculation of Transaction Expenses and (vii) the Buyer’s determination of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) resulting therefrom. For purposes of the Buyer’s preparation of the Closing Statement, the Seller shall make available or provide reasonable access to the Buyer and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Certificate, to the extent not in the possession of the Company or the Buyer. The Seller shall have a period of 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement to review (and cause the Seller’s auditors to review) such documents and make any objections it may have in writing to the Buyer. For purposes of the Seller’s evaluation of the Closing Statement, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, make available or provide reasonable access to the Seller and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement; and shall permit reasonable access, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, to the facilities and personnel of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Seller and its Representatives to analyze the Closing Statement. If the Seller delivers written objections to the Buyer within such 30-day period, then the Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no written objections are made by the Seller within such 30-day period, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to the Closing Statement cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller within 30 calendar days after timely delivery of any objections thereto, then, at the request of the Buyer or the Seller, the specific matters in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to such independent accounting firm as may be approved by the Seller and the Buyer (the “Auditors”), which firm shall render its opinion as to such specific matters. If no such referral is made within 45 calendar days after the delivery of the objections, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If all objections are so resolved between the Parties prior to such time, the Closing Statement with such changes as have been agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between the Buyer and the Seller. The Parties shall cooperate with the Auditors during its engagement, and the Auditors shall have access to the books and records of the Company and the Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Parties’ accountants to the extent that they relate to the unresolved disputes as it may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing such unresolved disputes, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Buyer, the Company or the Seller. The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputes along with their determination of the Final Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. As to each disputed item, the Auditors shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the Buyer’s proposal, on the one hand, or the Seller’s proposal, on the other hand, and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Auditors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Auditors in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Auditors, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses). If the Parties refer a dispute to the Auditors and if the Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as claimed by the Buyer), then the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid out pursuant to Section 1.4(c) after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4.
(c) If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and if the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds is less than the amount due to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4, then at the Buyer’s option the Buyer may recover the remaining amount from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or require the Seller to pay such amount to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer will pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess and the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds. Any payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Purchase Price and Payment The total Purchase Price for the Property is the amount of the successful bid for the Cabin/Home Site at public auction plus the Maximum Value of the Personal Property.
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.
Purchase Price and Payment Date Each Asset purchased by the Receiver pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be purchased at a price equal to the Repurchase Price of such Asset less the Related Liability Amount applicable to such Asset, in each case determined as of the applicable Put Date. If the difference between such Repurchase Price and such Related Liability Amount is positive, then the Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Institution the amount of such difference; if the difference between such amounts is negative, then the Assuming Institution shall pay to the Receiver the amount of such difference. The Assuming Institution or the Receiver, as the case may be, shall pay the purchase price determined pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) not later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the applicable Put Date, together with interest on such amount at the Settlement Interest Rate for the period from and including such Put Date to and including the day preceding the date upon which payment is made.

(ii) within six (6) months of the date hereof, in consideration of the transfer at Closing of the (A) Sonablate® 500 Machines to Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to $465,000 (representing $155,000 multiplied by the three purchased Sonablate® 500 Machines) and (B) Additional Sonablate® 500 Machines to Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to $0 (representing the Company’s documented purchase cost for such machines multiplied by zero Additional Sonablate 500 Machines);
(iii) within 90 days after December 31, 2010, Purchaser shall make a Purchase Price Payment, accompanied by reasonably supporting documentation, in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross revenues received by Purchaser during the period between the Closing and December 31, 2010, arising directly from the exercise by Purchaser and its Affiliates of the rights held by the Company immediately prior to the Closing (I) under the Distributorship Agreement in the Territory and (II) worldwide under the HIFU Licensed Rights, such Purchase Price Payment, the “Initial 2010 Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payment” (the business of Purchaser and its Affiliates described in (I) and (II) above is referred to as the “Applicable Business”);
(iv) commencing 90 days after each December 31st beginning December 31, 2011, instead of the payment described in subsection (iii) above, Purchaser shall make a Purchase Price Payment, accompanied by reasonably supporting documentation, in an amount equal to the greater of (A) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or (B) seven percent (7%) of the gross revenues received by Purchaser during the calendar year immediately preceding such payment date arising directly from the exercise by Purchaser and its Affiliates of the rights held by the Company immediately prior to the Closing from the Applicable Business (such payments, the “Additional Initial Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payments”, and together with the Initial 2010 Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payment, collectively, the “Initial Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payments”) until the aggregate Initial Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payments total Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00);
(v) commencing at such time as the Initial Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payments total Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the aggregate, Purchaser’s annual Purchase Price Payment shall thereafter be an amount equal to the greater of (A) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or (B) five percent (5%) of the gross revenues received by Purchaser during the twelve-month period preceding such payment date from the Applicable Business (each such additional Purchase Price Payment, an “Additional Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payment”), until such aggregate Additional Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payments total Five Million Eight Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Nine Dollars ($5,835,829.00); and

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at such time as the Purchase Price Payments total Five Million Eight Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Nine Dollars ($5,835,829.00) in the aggregate, Purchaser shall have no further obligations under this Agreement to make any additional Purchase Price Payments for the Transferred Assets. Sellers have the right to conduct an audit, no more than once annually, of the gross revenues of the Applicable Business upon which Purchaser calculated the Initial Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payment pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iii) and the Additional Gross Revenue Purchase Price Payment pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iv) paid in a given year (collectively, the “Payments”), by reviewing documentation produced by Purchaser at Purchaser’s place of business during regular business hours. Sellers will pay all audit costs and expenses unless documentation from the audit shows a discrepancy in gross revenues of the Applicable Business that cause the amount of the Payments due to Sellers to be 5% greater than the actual Payments made to Sellers (a “Payment Variance”), in which case Purchaser shall pay the audit costs and expenses. In the event of a Payment Variance, Purchaser will calculate the difference of the Payments actually paid compared to the amount the Payments that would have been paid had the gross revenues determined by the audit been used to calculate such Payments and pay Sellers the amount of that difference within 30 days after it is determined by Purchaser. Additionally, if the amount of Payments paid to Sellers was greater than was required by the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser will give Sellers written notice and deduct the amount of the overpayment from the next Payments made by Purchaser.
Purchase Price; Allocation of Purchase Price (a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets and the Shares, subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 3.08(c), shall be an amount in cash (the “Purchase Price”) equal to (i) $32,000,000, minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, plus (iii) the Estimated Closing Date Cash, and minus (iv) the Inventory Adjustment, if any. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller at the Initial Closing in accordance with Section 3.08(b).
(b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Determination Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an allocation of the final Purchase Price (plus the amount of Assumed Liabilities and Liabilities of the Purchased Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent properly taken into account for U.S. federal and other applicable income tax purposes) among the Purchased Assets and the assets of the Purchased Subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes, consistent with the procedures in Section 3.08(c) and in accordance with applicable Law and taking into account Section 7.08 and the section 336(e) elections referred to in Section 7.04(d) (the “Allocation Statement”). If Buyer does not object to the Allocation Statement within thirty (30) days after receipt, the Allocation Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If Buyer does object to the Allocation Statement within such period, then Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve promptly any such objection. If Buyer and Seller do not obtain a final resolution within thirty (30) days after Buyer has so objected (or such longer period as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller), then the dispute shall be resolved by the Auditor, and the procedures for such resolution (including the allocation of liability for the Auditor’s fees and expenses) shall be consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09(c) (with such provisions applying to this Section 3.07(b) mutatis mutandis).

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.
Contract Price and Payment In consideration of the Contractor's due and proper performance of its obligations under the Contract, the Contractor may charge the Authority or, as the case may be, any Beneficiary the Contract Price in accordance with this Clause 6. The only sums payable by the Authority or any Beneficiary to the Contractor for the provision of the Services shall be the Contract Price. All other costs, charges, fees and expenses of whatever kind arising out of or in connection with the Contract shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. In accordance with the Contract, where the Contractor is required to provide Deliverables, the Authority or any Beneficiary shall be entitled to withhold payment of the Contract Price pending receipt and acceptance of the Deliverables in accordance with the Specification. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Authority or any Beneficiary and the Contractor, within 15 days of the end of each calendar month, the Contractor shall invoice the Authority or, as the case may be, any Beneficiary for any Services provided by the Contractor in that calendar month. Such invoice shall be rendered on the Contractor's own invoice form clearly marked with the Authority’s or the Beneficiary's order number (if any). Invoices must show the period to which they relate and the aspects of the Services for which payment is claimed together with the agreed charging rates and any other details the Authority or the Beneficiary may require. Failure to provide such information will entitle the Authority or the Beneficiary to delay payment of the Contract Price until such information is provided. Subject to Clauses 6.3 and 6.6, the Authority or any Beneficiary shall pay any invoice submitted by the Contractor in accordance with Clause 6.4 within 30 days of receipt by the Authority or the Beneficiary of such invoice. The Authority or the Beneficiary shall pay such invoice(s) by BACS (Bank Automated Clearing System) if it so chooses or any alternate means as agreed between the Authority or the Beneficiary and the Contractor. The Authority and any Beneficiary shall be entitled to deduct from any monies due or to become due to the Contractor any monies owing to the Authority or the Beneficiary from the Contractor. Where the performance of the Contractor does not meet the required standard then a deduction as set out in the Specification or as agreed by the Parties may be made. Except where otherwise stated in the Order, the Contract Price is exclusive of VAT which shall be payable, if applicable, by the Authority or any Beneficiary in addition to such Contract Price. The invoice provided to the Authority or any Beneficiary by the Contractor in accordance with Clause 6.4 shall show the VAT calculations separately. The Contractor will keep accurate books and records in relation to the provision of the Services in accordance with sound and prudent financial management. All such books and records shall be made available to the Authority at regular intervals of not less than quarterly. In the event of the Authority or any Beneficiary breaching Clause 6.5, the Contractor shall be entitled to charge interest on the outstanding amount owed by the Authority or such Beneficiary in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Subject to Clauses 6.12 and 6.13, the Contract Price shall not be subject to any increase whatsoever by the Contractor during the Contract Period. In the event that the Contract is varied under Clauses 22 or 23 in such a way as to affect the Contract Price and if agreement between the Parties cannot be reached on the adjustment to the Contract Price within 3 months both Parties shall jointly act to resolve the dispute in accordance with Clause 24. If the adjusted Contract Price is not so agreed or certified until after such variation has taken effect, the Authority or any Beneficiary shall continue to pay the Contractor at the rate current prior to the variation but shall pay to the Contractor or be entitled to recover from the Contractor as the case may be such sum if any as is equal to the difference between the amount which should have been paid in accordance with the adjusted Contract Price and the amount which was actually paid. In the event that the Contract ends or is terminated otherwise than at the end of a complete year, the sum payable by the Authority or any Beneficiary under Clause 6 shall be one twelfth of the annual sum which would otherwise have been payable for the complete year for each completed month.
