Working Capital Adjustment (a) The Company will, in good faith and in consultation with HSE, prepare and deliver to HSE within three (3) days before the Closing Date (i) a calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount”), (ii) a calculation of the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), and (iii) a calculation of the amount of Unpaid Transaction Costs (the “Estimated Unpaid Transaction Costs Amount”), (collectively, the items in clauses (i)—(iii) are referred to as the “Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments”). The calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments will be prepared by the Company in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. If HSE disputes any portion of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments prior to Closing, then HSE and the Company will negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve any such dispute at or prior to Closing. (b) No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing, HSE shall cause to be prepared (i) a statement of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date (the “Net Working Capital Closing Statement”) and (ii) a calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount, the Closing Cash Amount and the Unpaid Transaction Costs prepared in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement (the “Final Cost Adjustments”). The Net Working Capital Closing Statement shall contain line item detail comparable to the balance sheet included in the most recent Financial Statements with respect to the components of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date. The Representative, on behalf of Transferor, shall have a period of thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments and related worksheets to provide written notice of the Representative’s objection, on behalf of Transferor, to the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments or the related worksheets (which notice shall state the basis for the Representative’s objection). If, within such thirty (30) day period, the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, has not given HSE written notice of its objection to the Net Working Capital Closing Statement, the Final Cost Adjustments or the related worksheets, then the Net Working Capital and the Final Cost Adjustments respectively reflected therein shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and used in making the adjustment provided for in Section 2.2(c). If the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, timely provides any such objection, Transferor and HSE shall work in good faith to resolve any differences with respect thereto. If, at the end of a fifteen (15)-day period from the date of delivery of any objection by the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, there are any matters that remain in dispute, then the remaining matters in dispute shall be submitted to Xxxx & Associates (the “Referee”) within the following five (5) Business Days for resolution. The Referee shall make a determination with respect to the disputed matters submitted to it and determine the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Final Cost Adjustments as of the Calculation Date within 30 days after the objections that remain in dispute are submitted to it. If any objections are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each Party shall furnish to the Referee such work papers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Referee may request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee; (ii) the determination by the Referee of the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Final Cost Adjustments as of the Calculation Date, as set forth in a written notice delivered to each of the Representative, on behalf of Transferor, and HSE by the Referee, shall be calculated in accordance with the past practices utilized in preparing the most recent Financial Statements, and shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and, absent manifest error, shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iii) the fees and expenses of the Referee shall be borne one-half by Transferor and one-half by HSE. The final Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Calculation Date, as determined in accordance with this Section 2.2(b), is referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital.” (c) If the Final Net Working Capital is less than zero, Transferor shall promptly pay to HSE an aggregate amount in cash equal to such deficiency. If the Final Net Working Capital is greater than zero, HSE shall pay to Transferor on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount of such excess in cash; provided, however, such payment by HSE shall not be due and payable to Transferor until the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that HSE has collected an aggregate amount of Accounts Receivable in excess of the aggregate current liabilities included in the calculation of Final Net Working Capital. In the event the sum of (i) the Closing Cash Amount minus (ii) the Closing Indebtedness Pay-Off Amount minus (iii) the Unpaid Transaction Costs set forth in the calculation of the Final Cost Adjustments is less than such sum set forth in the calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments, Transferor shall promptly pay the amount of such deficiency to HSE in cash. In the event such sum set forth in the calculation of the Final Cost Adjustments is greater than the sum set forth in the calculation of the Estimated Pre-Closing Adjustments, HSE shall promptly pay to Transferor the amount of such excess in cash.
Net Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Transaction Consideration which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.6, together with all underlying documentation supporting such calculations. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement. (b) During the sixty (60) days immediately following delivery of the Closing Statement, Seller and its professional representatives shall be entitled to review the Closing Statement and any working papers, financial records, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Closing Statement prepared by the Purchaser or by Persons retained by it, and Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable access to work papers of Purchaser’s accountants relating thereto, and Purchaser shall make reasonably available the individuals in its and its Affiliates’ employ as well as representatives of its accountants responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of the Closing Statement, to respond to the reasonable inquiries of, or requests for information by Seller, during normal business hours. If Seller disputes any amounts as shown on the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Seller’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis (including for each component, the difference and the amount thereof and reasons therefor) for the determination of such different amount. If Seller does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) prepared and delivered by Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Any such disputes shall be limited to assertions that the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) was not calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.6. Any component not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be treated as final and binding. Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of thirty (30) days after Seller has given the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller resolve such differences, the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital agreed to by Purchaser and Seller shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. If Purchaser and Seller do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Seller has delivered the Dispute Notice, unless Purchaser and Seller mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences with respect to the adjustment under this Section 1.6 pursuant to an engagement agreement among Purchaser, Seller, and the Neutral Accountant (which Purchaser and Seller agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below. The Neutral Accountant shall have full authority to decide all of the issues or matters relating to the adjustments under this Section 1.6 (it being understood that in making such determination, the Neutral Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), but shall only decide the specific components under dispute in the Dispute Notice (the “Disputed Items”), strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant at which the other shall be entitled to be present and participate, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Purchaser, Seller, and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein); and Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve the differences between them and determine the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. Each of Purchaser and Seller, as a condition precedent to making a presentation to the Neutral Accountant and having the Neutral Accountant review its calculations, shall provide reasonable advance access to the other Party with respect to such materials and reasonably cooperate with the other Party in its review and analysis thereof. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of Purchaser and Seller (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement. The Closing Statement (and determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be allocated to and borne by Purchaser and Seller based on the inverse of the percentage that the Neutral Accountant’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Neutral Accountant. Nothing in this Section 1.6(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the resolution of differences between Purchaser and Seller regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement (and Final Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein), it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Neutral Accountant shall have authority to resolve only matters of an accounting nature and shall not have authority to resolve any disputes of a legal nature (with any dispute as to whether a matter is of an accounting or legal nature to be resolved by the Neutral Accountant); or (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to any component of the Closing Statement and (Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein) that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by Purchaser and Seller. (c) Promptly, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the final determination thereof, if the Final Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement: (i) exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Range Maximum (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration by reason of the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in Section 1.5(b)), Purchaser shall pay such excess amount to Seller; or (ii) is less than the Target Net Working Capital Range Minimum (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration by reason of the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in Section 1.5(b)), Seller shall pay such shortfall amount to Purchaser. To the extent the amount paid by Seller is less than such shortfall, Purchaser may, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, collect such amount from the Escrow Account. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VI are inapplicable to the adjustments to be made under this Section 1.6.
Capital Adjustments (a) The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or the Corporation’s business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to or affecting the Corporation’s capital stock or the rights thereof, or the issuance of any securities convertible into any such capital stock or of any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any such capital stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other act or proceeding of the Corporation, whether of a similar character or otherwise. (b) The securities with respect to which the Option is granted are shares of the $.001 par value common stock of the Corporation as presently constituted, but if and whenever, prior to the delivery by the Corporation of all the shares of the $.001 par value common stock with respect to which the Option is granted, the Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of such common stock issued and outstanding without receiving compensation therefore in money, services, or property, the number of shares of such common stock then remaining subject to the Option shall (a) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares of such common stock, be proportionately increased, and the cash consideration payable per share of such common stock shall be proportionately reduced; and (b) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of such common stock, be proportionately reduced, and the cash consideration payable per share of such common stock shall be proportionately increased.
Adjustment Amount (a) Schedule 2.16 sets forth a sample calculation of the Adjustment Amount and the Target Adjustment Amount as of the Balance Sheet Date (the “Sample Closing Statement”), including the asset, liability and other line items and accounting principles used in such calculation, and assuming that all of such asset and liability line items that constitute Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities under this Agreement will be transferred to Mallinckrodt as of the Distribution. (b) Within sixty (60) days after the Distribution Date, Mallinckrodt shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Covidien a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the Adjustment Amount and the calculation of the Adjustment Amount and (ii) the Target Adjustment Amount and the calculation of the Target Adjustment Amount. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, including the use of the same line items and line item entries, set forth on and used in the preparation of the Sample Closing Statement; provided, however, that assets newly acquired and liabilities newly incurred following the date of the Sample Closing Statement which cannot be appropriately placed in line items previously used by Mallinckrodt, but that constitute Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities, will also be included to the extent consistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles. (c) Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Covidien of the Closing Statement, Covidien shall deliver written notice to Mallinckrodt of any dispute Covidien has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Statement (the “Dispute Notice”); provided, however, that if Covidien does not deliver any Dispute Notice to Mallinckrodt within such thirty (30)-day period, the Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Any Dispute Notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for any dispute included therein, the amounts involved and Covidien’s determination of the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) and (ii) include only disagreements based on the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) not being calculated properly in accordance with this Agreement or containing mathematical errors. Upon receipt by Mallinckrodt of a Dispute Notice, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute set forth therein. If Mallinckrodt and Covidien, such good faith effort notwithstanding, fail to resolve any such dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by Mallinckrodt of the Dispute Notice (the “Dispute Resolution Period”), then Mallinckrodt and Covidien jointly shall engage, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, Ernst & Young LLP or, if Ernst & Young LLP is unavailable or conflicted, another nationally recognized major accounting firm selected jointly by Covidien and Mallinckrodt (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve any such dispute. If Ernst & Young LLP is unavailable or conflicted and Covidien and Mallinckrodt are unable to agree on the Independent Accounting Firm, then each of Covidien and Mallinckrodt shall select a nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm. As promptly as practicable, and in any event not more than fifteen (15) days following the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall each prepare and submit a presentation detailing each Party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of each issue still in dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm. Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to, as soon as practicable after the submission of the presentations described in the immediately preceding sentence and in any event not more than thirty (30) days following such presentations, make a final determination, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the line items that remain in dispute as indicated in the Dispute Notice. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Covidien or Mallinckrodt, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts set forth by Mallinckrodt in the Closing Statement or by Covidien in the Dispute Notice, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether any determination of the Adjustment Amount and/or the Target Adjustment Amount (as applicable) was properly calculated in accordance with the Transaction Accounting Principles, and the Independent Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination, including any determination as to whether GAAP was followed, to the extent GAAP is inconsistent with the Transaction Accounting Principles. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Covidien and Mallinckrodt. All determinations made by the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Closing Statement, as modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. (d) For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 2.16, Mallinckrodt and Covidien shall cooperate with and make available to each other and their respective Representatives all information, records, data and working papers, in each case, to the extent related to the Mallinckrodt Assets, Mallinckrodt Liabilities or Mallinckrodt Business, and shall permit access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the Closing Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder. (e) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), is greater than the Target Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), by at least $20 million, then Mallinckrodt shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the difference from the first dollar (i.e., without regard to the $20 million threshold) to Covidien by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Covidien to Mallinckrodt. If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), is less than the Target Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.16(c), by at least $20 million, then Covidien shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in cash equal to the difference from the first dollar (i.e., without regard to the $20 million threshold) to Mallinckrodt by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Mallinckrodt to Covidien. Any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) is to be made within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the Adjustment Amount and the Target Adjustment Amount have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.16.
Payment and Year-End Adjustment Amounts accrued pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable to the Adviser as of the last day of each month. If necessary, on or before the last day of the first month of each fiscal year, an adjustment payment shall be made by the appropriate party in order that the actual Fund Operating Expenses of a Fund for the prior fiscal year (including any reimbursement payments hereunder with respect to such fiscal year) do not exceed the Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit.
Closing Adjustments (a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth Vista Outdoor’s good faith estimate of (i) Closing Cash (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Cash”), (ii) Closing Working Capital (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (iii) Closing Debt (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Debt”), (iv) Transaction Expenses (such estimate, “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (v) Closing Taxes (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Taxes”), (vi) Closing Transaction Tax Deductions (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Transaction Tax Deductions”), (vii) the Closing Non-Cash Debt (such estimate, “Estimated Closing Non-Cash Debt”) and (viii) the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, in each case, together with reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the estimates set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Estimated Closing Statement is to estimate the amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. Vista Outdoor shall consider in good faith and implement all reasonable comments provided by Parent to the Estimated Closing Statement (including the components thereof) at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date. (b) At least five (5) Business Days prior to Vista Outdoor’s delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent a good faith non-binding, advisory draft of the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Draft Estimated Closing Statement”), including reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the estimates set forth therein. In furtherance of Vista Outdoor’s preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided to the Draft Estimated Closing Statement by Parent at least one Business Day prior to delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement. (c) Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent a good faith non-binding, advisory draft of the Estimated Closing Statement, including reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the estimates set forth therein (an “Advisory Estimated Closing Statement”), assuming, for purposes of creating such Advisory Estimated Closing Statement, a Reference Time of 11:59 p.m. New York City time on September 30, 2024. Within ten (10) Business Days following October 31, 2024, Vista Outdoor shall prepare and deliver to Parent, an Advisory Estimated Closing Statement assuming, for purposes of creating such Advisory Estimated Closing Statement, a Reference Time of 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 31, 2024. In furtherance of Vista Outdoor’s preparation of the Draft Estimated Closing Statement and the Estimated Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments provided to the Advisory Estimated Closing Statements by Parent at least one (1) Business Day prior to delivery of the Draft Estimated Closing Statement. (d) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within the later of (x) thirty (30) days following the Closing Date and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Revelyst Merger (if such merger is consummated) (the later of (x) and (y), the “Closing Statement Deadline”), Vista Outdoor and Revelyst shall cooperate in good faith and jointly prepare a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth their joint good faith calculation of (i) Closing Cash, (ii) Closing Working Capital, (iii) Closing Debt, (iv) Transaction Expenses, (v) Closing Taxes, (vi) Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and (vii) the Closing Adjustment Amount, in each case, together with reasonably detailed schedules with respect to the determination thereof to support the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Statement is to measure and determine the amount of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Accounting Principles. Each of Vista Outdoor and Revelyst shall execute the Closing Statement to certify the calculations set forth therein and upon such certification the Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Vista Outdoor and Revelyst do not agree upon and execute the Closing Statement by the Closing Statement Deadline, then the Estimated Closing Statement shall be deemed to be the Closing Statement for all purposes under this Agreement and neither Party nor their respective Affiliates shall have any further obligation pursuant to this Section 2.06. (e) In connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement, Vista Outdoor shall, subject to reasonable advance written request (email being sufficient), provide Revelyst and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, and in such a manner as to not interfere with the normal operations of Vista Outdoor and each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group, to the Records and relevant advisors (subject to the execution of any required customary access letters), personnel and properties of Vista Outdoor and each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group to the extent reasonably relevant to the preparation of the Closing Statement; provided that Revelyst shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, keep any nonpublic information shared with it confidential. (f) Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the Parties in accordance with this Section 2.06, if the Closing Adjustment Amount is: (i) greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then Vista Outdoor shall pay Revelyst an amount of cash equal to such difference; (ii) less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then Revelyst shall pay Vista Outdoor an amount of cash equal to such difference; or (iii) equal to the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, then neither Party shall have any obligation to make a payment to the other Party in respect thereof. (g) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 2.06 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the other Party would not have entered into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party. Accordingly, if a Party fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.06 (such Party, the “Defaulting Party”), and, in order to obtain payment of such amount, the other Party commences a legal action which results in an order against the Defaulting Party for such amount, or any portion thereof, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the other Party such other Party’s out-of-pocket, reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such legal action, together with interest on such due and unpaid amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06 at a rate equal to (i) the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such amount was required to be paid plus (ii) 2% through the date such payment was actually received. (h) Vista Outdoor agrees that, from the Closing Date through the date that the Closing Adjustment Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.06, it shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Vista Outdoor Group not to, take any action with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Closing Statement is based that would impede or delay the final determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any investigation or examination conducted, or any knowledge possessed or acquired, by or on behalf of Vista Outdoor or Revelyst, the process set forth in this Section 2.06 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties for any disputes related to the items required to be included or reflected in the calculation of Closing Cash, Closing Working Capital, Closing Debt, Transaction Expenses, Closing Taxes, Closing Transaction Tax Deductions and the Closing Adjustment Amount. (j) Without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, none of the time periods set forth in this Section 2.06 shall be extended or waived by any Party. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the closing of the Revelyst Merger, neither Olibre Parent, Revelyst nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any obligation with respect to this Section 2.06. Each Party agrees that Olibre Parent is a third party beneficiary of this Section 2.06(j). (k) For the purposes of this Agreement:
Closing Adjustment At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Statement”) setting forth an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date and an estimated calculation of (i) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (ii) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), and (iii) Seller’s calculation of the amount payable under Section 2.2(a) on the basis of the Estimated Statement, in each case, along with reasonable supporting detail to evidence the calculation of such amount. The Estimated Statement and all calculations therein shall be determined as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on the Closing Date and in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, and using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in the preparation of the Audited Balance Sheet and the Example Net Working Capital Calculation. Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Books and Records of the Acquired Companies and shall cause the personnel of the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate with Buyer for the purpose of enabling Buyer to calculate, and to review Seller’s calculation of Estimated Net Working Capital and Estimated Cash and such amounts shall be adjusted in response to any reasonable comments of Buyer provided prior to the Closing. The amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be (i) increased or decreased, respectively, dollar-for-dollar by the amount that the Estimated Net Working Capital is more than or less than Target Net Working Capital and (ii) increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of the Estimated Cash (provided that in no event shall the Estimated Cash exceed the Maximum Cash Amount); provided, however, that in the event of a decrease, in lieu of decreasing the amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i), the Deferred Payment Amount shall first be decreased by up to an aggregate of $2,000,000, and, if applicable, thereafter the amount payable under Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be decreased by the amount in excess of $2,000,000.
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. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event (a) the Final Purchase Price is more than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, or (b) the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.
Year-End Adjustment If necessary, on or before the last day of the first month of each fiscal year, an adjustment payment shall be made by the appropriate party in order that the amount of the investment advisory fees waived or reduced and other payments remitted by the Adviser to the Fund or Funds with respect to the previous fiscal year shall equal the Excess Amount.
Net Working Capital At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a certificate (the “Estimated NWC Certificate”), including a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with the accounting principles, methods, practices, estimates, judgments and assumptions applied in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, consistently applied (the “Accounting Principles”), which shall include (a) the Sellers’ good faith estimate (such estimate is referred to as the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”) of the “Net Working Capital Amount.” As used herein, “Net Working Capital Amount” means the Net Working Capital of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. EST on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date. “Net Working Capital” means the result of (i) all cash of the Company minus (ii) all current liabilities (excluding the Existing Indebtedness) of the Company, in each case determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles. The Purchase Price at Closing shall be increased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company dated at the Closing Date, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and (ii) a reasonably detailed statement (the “Final NWC Certificate”) setting forth Buyer’s calculations of the Net Working Capital Amount. If Sellers have any objections to the Final NWC Certificate, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), provided that the only bases for objections shall be (i) non-compliance with the standards set forth above for preparation of the Final NWC Certificate, or as set forth in the definition of Net Working Capital, and (ii) mathematical errors. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Final NWC Certificate, the Final NWC Certificate shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any objections set forth in the Objections Statement (and all such discussions related thereto shall, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Sellers, be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (and any applicable similar state rule)), but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Sellers and Buyer may submit such dispute to one of the “Big Four” accounting firms other than Ernst & Young LLP or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or, in the event that any such auditor is unable to accept such appointment, to any other nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (the “Independent Auditor”). Each party shall be afforded an opportunity to present to the Independent Auditor material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the determination with the Independent Auditor. The Independent Auditor shall act as an auditor and not as an arbitrator and shall resolve matters in dispute and adjust and establish any disputed adjustment of the Net Working Capital Amount to reflect such resolution, provided that the Independent Auditor shall not assign a value to any item or amount in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item or amount assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item or amount assigned by Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. It is the intent of Buyer and Sellers that the process set forth in this Section 11(F) and the activities of the Independent Auditor in connection herewith are not intended to be and, in fact, are not arbitration and that no formal arbitration rules shall be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Sellers and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all such disagreements as promptly as practicable. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The Final NWC Certificate shall be modified if necessary to reflect such determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated for payment by Buyer, on the one hand, and/or Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Auditor. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures described above is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shown on the Estimated NWC Certificate, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers cash equal to the amount by which the Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If the Net Working Capital Amount as finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures described above is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shown on the Estimated NWC Certificate, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer cash equal to the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Net Working Capital Amount.
