(ii) The Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments or objections to any amounts set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement notified to it by Acquiror prior to the Closing and if, prior to the Closing, the Company and Acquiror agree to make any modification to the Estimated Closing Statement, then the Estimated Closing Statement as so modified shall be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Statement; provided, that the failure of the Company and Acquiror to reach such mutual agreement will not give any party the right to terminate this Agreement or otherwise delay or fail to close the Stock Purchase or the other transactions contemplated hereunder.
(iii) Acquiror shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Payment Schedule in all respects in making any payments pursuant to this Agreement, and all obligations to make such payments shall be deemed fulfilled to the extent such payments are made in accordance with this Agreement, the Payment Schedule, and the Estimated Closing Statement, including the Earn-Out Payment. None of Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) or the Seller Representative shall have any liability or obligation to any Person, including the Sellers and the Seller Guarantors, for any Damages arising from or relating to any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the calculations of the portion of any amounts payable to any Seller or any other Person or any other errors, omissions or inaccuracy in the information set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement or the Payment Schedule.

If a Protest Notice is delivered prior to the Protest Date, any amounts not disputed therein shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Seller. Upon receipt of the Final Closing Statement, the Seller and its accountants will be given reasonable access upon reasonable notice to the relevant books, records, workpapers and personnel during regular business hours for the purpose of verifying Working Capital, Indebtedness and Seller Transaction Expenses. The parties will thereafter negotiate any objections in the Protest Notice in good faith.

Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause the Closing Date Balance Sheet to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser within sixty (60) days after the Closing, unless such inability to deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet is as a result of Purchaser's failure to give Seller reasonable access to the necessary books, records and/or personnel, in which event the requirement to deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be tolled until Seller is given reasonable access to the necessary documentation or personnel. The date of delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to Purchaser is referred to herein as the "Delivery Date".
