In the event the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Adjustment would have exceeded the Adjustment Cap but for the existence of the Adjustment Cap pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of such excess shall be defined as “Excess Adjustment Amount”.

In the event that Seller shall not deliver any such objection(s) with respect to the Closing Adjustment Certificate within such thirty-day period, then the Closing Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section 2.4 (such final Closing Adjustment Certificate, the “Final Adjustment Certificate”). In the event that any such objection(s) are so delivered, the Closing Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed not final and Purchaser and Seller shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disputed Items and, if they are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items within 15 Business Days of delivery of such notice, shall, five Business Days thereafter (or such earlier date as mutually agreed) designate the New York office of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the “Accountant Arbitrator” hereunder (the “Accountant Arbitrator”).

In connection with the foregoing, the Accountant Arbitrator shall be instructed to and must (i) limit its determination(s) only to the remaining Disputed Items, (ii) make its determination(s) as to each remaining Disputed Item based upon the application of this Section 2.4 and (iii) not assign a value to any remaining Disputed Item greater than the higher value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Purchaser or Seller or less than the lower value for such Disputed Item claimed by Purchaser or Seller. All determinations by the Accountant Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Section 2.4, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accountant Arbitrator shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in the same proportion to which the dollar amounts of their respective positions on Disputed Items are accepted or rejected by the Accountant Arbitrator. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that any adjustment made under this Section 2.4 is and shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. (f) At such time as the Closing Adjustment Certificate shall become the Final Adjustment Certificate in accordance with Section 2.4(e), the Estimated Working Capital shall be compared to the Final Working Capital and the Estimated Net Debt Amount shall be compared to the Final Net Debt Amount. In the event that the Final Working Capital shall be a number greater than the Estimated Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such Purchase Price Adjustmentdifference, plus, if there was an Excess Adjustment Amount, the amount of such Excess Adjustment Amount. In the event that the Final Working Capital shall be a number less than the Estimated Working Capital, either (i) Seller shall pay Purchaser an amount equal to such difference to the extent that such difference is greater than the Excess Adjustment Amount; or (ii) if subtracting such difference from the Excess Adjustment Amount results in a positive number, Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to such positive number to Seller. In any event, if there was an Excess Adjustment Amount, Purchaser shall pay Seller interest on the Excess Adjustment Amount accruing at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum during the period commencing on the Closing Date and concluding upon the date that payment is to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(f). If the Final Net Debt Amount is a number greater than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such difference. If Final Net Debt Amount is a number less than the Estimated Net Debt Amount, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such difference. For the avoidance of doubt, the payments in respect of Working Capital and Net Debt contemplated by this Section 2.4(f) may be aggregated and netted against one another, if applicable, for purposes of the payments to be made between the parties. Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall be made within five Business Days from the date that the Final Adjustment Certificate is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(e), by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) if due to Purchaser, to an account designated in writing by Purchaser and (ii) if due to Seller, to an account designated in writing by Seller. Any amount so owing and not paid within such five Business Days shall begin accruing interest until paid at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. (g) Notwithstanding the existence of Disputed Items, if other aspects of the calculation of Working Capital or Net Debt are undisputed, payment shall be made between the parties with respect to such items as soon as practicable and the payment mechanisms in Section 2.4(f) shall be adjusted to reflect such earlier payments.
