Reconciliation and Final Payment Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate after Closing to make a final determination of the allocations and prorations required under this Contract within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. Upon the final reconciliation of the allocations and prorations under this Section, the party which owes the other party any sums hereunder shall pay such party such sums within ten (10) days after the reconciliation of such sums. The obligations to calculate such prorations, make such reconciliations and pay any such sums shall survive the Closing.
Closing Statement (a) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to Buyer a written statement of estimated Current Assets and Current Liabilities as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Estimated Closing Statement") containing the Company's good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital Amount (the "Estimated Net Working Capital Amount"), which shall reflect the items required to be set forth in, and be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of, the Closing Statement, in each case in accordance with Section 4.6(b); provided, however, that for purposes of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the parties hereto agree that 50% of the amount of Fuel Sensor Damages (x) actually expended by Parent or the Company from March 1, 2011 through the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date and (y) accrued as current liabilities on the Estimated Closing Statement, shall be added as a credit to the estimated Net Working Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement. Commencing with the Company's delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement to Buyer, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the books and records and personnel of the Company and the opportunity to consult with the Company for purposes of confirming or disputing the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If Buyer shall disagree, in good faith, with any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then Buyer and the Company shall work, in good faith, to reach agreement on such disputed items and the amounts as agreed to by Buyer and the Company shall constitute the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's agreement with the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount (or any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount) shall not foreclose, prevent, limit or preclude any rights or remedy of Buyer set forth in this Agreement. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is more than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount.
Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.
Post-Closing Reconciliation (a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent its good faith calculation of (i) the estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount”), (ii) the estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount”), (iii) the estimated Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), (iv) the estimated Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expense Amount”), and (v) the Aggregate Cash Consideration calculated based on such estimated amounts (including the component pieces thereof) (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), in each case, accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations. The Company shall prepare the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with the applicable definitions in this Agreement and with GAAP, in accordance with the Company’s past practices (including the methodologies applied in the preparation of the Financials). The Company shall make available to Parent and its Representatives the books and records used in preparing the Estimated Closing Statement and reasonable access (on prior notice and during business hours) to employees of the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with its review of such statements, and will otherwise cooperate in good faith with Parent’s and its Representatives review of such statements and shall take into consideration in good faith any comments of Parent on the Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable. The Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, and the Estimated Closing Transaction Expense Amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement will be used for purposes of calculating the Aggregate Cash Consideration at the Closing (which calculation shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 2.9). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of Parent’s rights be considered waived, impaired or otherwise limited as a result of Parent not making an objection prior to the Closing or its making an objection that is not fully implemented in a revised Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable.
Reconciliation In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and a Member are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by Sections 2.03, 3.01(b), 4.02 and 6.02 within the relevant period designated in this Agreement (“Reconciliation Dispute”), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the “Expert”) in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to both parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and unless the Corporate Taxpayer and such Member agree otherwise, the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or such Member or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt by the respondent(s) of written notice of a Reconciliation Dispute, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Exchange Basis Schedule or an amendment thereto or the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement) or any Tax Return reflecting the subject of a disagreement is due, the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement and such Tax Return may be filed as prepared by the Corporate Taxpayer, subject to adjustment or amendment upon resolution. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne by the Corporate Taxpayer, except as provided in the next sentence. The Corporate Taxpayer and such Member shall bear their own costs and expenses of such proceeding, unless (i) the Expert substantially adopts such Member’s position, in which case the Corporate Taxpayer shall reimburse such Member for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding, or (ii) the Expert substantially adopts the Corporate Taxpayer’s position, in which case such Member shall reimburse the Corporate Taxpayer for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in such proceeding. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.09 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer and such Member and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
Reconciliation Statements if, as a result of any change in accounting principles and policies from those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements referred to in subsection 5.3, the consolidated financial statements of Company and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to subdivisions (ii), (iii) or (xii) of this subsection 6.1 will differ in any material respect from the consolidated financial statements that would have been delivered pursuant to such subdivisions had no such change in accounting principles and policies been made, then (a) together with the first delivery of financial statements pursuant to subdivision (ii), (iii) or (xii) of this subsection 6.1 following such change, consolidated financial statements of Company and its Subsidiaries for (y) the current Fiscal Year to the effective date of such change and (z) the two full Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which such change is made, in each case prepared on a pro forma basis as if such change had been in effect during such periods, and (b) together with each delivery of financial statements pursuant to subdivision (ii), (iii) or (xii) of this subsection 6.1 following such change, if required pursuant to subsection 1.2, a written statement of the chief accounting officer or chief financial officer of Company setting forth the differences (including any differences that would affect any calculations relating to the financial covenants set forth in subsection 7.6) which would have resulted if such financial statements had been prepared without giving effect to such change;
Estimated Closing Statement Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified in writing by an executive officer of the Seller, setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Seller’s good faith calculation, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, of the estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and the components thereof; (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be; and (iii) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (the resulting amount, the “Estimated Purchase Price”), in each case calculated pursuant to the Accounting Principles. The Seller and the Owner, during the period from the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement through the Closing Date, shall, and shall cause their respective managers, officers, employees, accountants, and other relevant advisors to, provide the Buyer (and its auditors, advisors, counsel, and other representatives) reasonable access to the books and records, outside accounting firm, working papers (subject to the execution of customary access letters), personnel, and facilities of the Seller in order to complete their review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, and the Seller shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Buyer to the Estimated Closing Statement. The Buyer’s failure to make any comment regarding, or to dispute any amount included in, the Estimated Closing Statement shall not limit, or have any effect on, the Buyer’s rights pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to conduct a review of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be, and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price. The Seller and the Owner shall cooperate with the Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to resolve any reasonable objection the Buyer may have to the estimates or calculations contained therein.
Settlement Statement A settlement statement setting forth the amounts paid by or on behalf of and/or credited to each of Purchaser and Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
Final Closing Statement Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Holder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement” and, in its final and binding form as determined below, the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the Closing Consideration and each component thereof as of immediately prior to the Closing, including final determinations as to the amounts of (A) the Company Cash, (B) the Funded Debt and (C) the Closing Net Working Capital. The Final Closing Statement and the components thereof shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Holder Representative shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement. During the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the Holder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, the Holder Representative shall be permitted to review Parent’s working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following the Holder Representative’s receipt thereof, unless the Holder Representative shall give written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Parent prior to such date and (y) the date that the Holder Representative notifies Parent of its acceptance thereof. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the resolution in writing of all disagreements the parties may have with respect thereto (whether by the written agreement of the parties or pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth below). During the thirty (30) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Parent and the Holder Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Parent and its agents and Representatives shall be permitted to review the Holder Representative’s and its Representatives’ working papers relating to the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of the thirty (30)-day period referred to above, the matters in dispute have not been fully resolved, then the parties shall submit to Ernst & Young LLP (or such other mutually agreed independent accountants of nationally recognized standing) (any such accounting firm, the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall make a final determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The parties will reasonably cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. The Accounting Firm shall be provided reasonable access to the books, records and other relevant information of the Company, Parent and the Holder Representative to the extent necessary to calculate the Closing Consideration. In resolving any matters in dispute, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on presentations by Parent and the Holder Representative which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Absent fraud committed by the Accounting Firm or manifest error (as to which Parent and the Holder Representative mutually agree), the Closing Statement and the determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties (which the Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver not more than forty-five (45) days following submission of such disputed matters). The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine solely the matters in dispute based solely on the submissions and responses of Parent, on the one hand, and the Holder Representative, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm shall allocate its costs and expenses between Parent and the Holder Representative, on behalf of the Holders, based upon the percentage of the contested amount submitted to the Accounting Firm that is ultimately awarded to Parent, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders, on the other hand, such that Parent bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Holders and the Holders bear a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Parent (such amount payable by the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders to be deducted from the Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback and retained by Parent in accordance with Section 4.1(c)(ii)).
