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.
Initial Costs Subject to reimbursement as hereinafter provided, the cost of organizing a Trust and sale of the Trust Units shall be borne by the Depositor, provided, however, that the liability on the part of the Depositor under this Section shall not include any fees or other expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust subsequent to the deposit referred to in Section 2.01. Upon notification from the Depositor that the primary offering period is concluded, or after six months, at the discretion of the Depositor, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Account or Accounts specified in the Prospectus or, if no Account is therein specified, from the Capital Account as further set forth in Section 3.03, and pay to the Depositor the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust and sale of the Trust Units in an amount certified to the Trustee by the Depositor but not in excess of the estimated per-Unit amount set forth in the Prospectus multiplied by the number of Units outstanding as of the conclusion of the primary offering period. If the cash balance of the Capital Account is insufficient to make such withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Depositor, sell Securities identified by the Depositor, or distribute to the Depositor Securities having a value, as determined under Section 4.01 as of the date of distribution, sufficient for such reimbursement. Securities sold or distributed to the Depositor to reimburse the Depositor pursuant to this Section shall be sold or distributed by the Trustee to the extent practicable, in the percentage ratio then existing (unless the Trust elects to be treated as a "regulated investment company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code (the "Internal Revenue Code"), in which case sales or distributions by the Trustee shall be made in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor or its designees). The reimbursement provided for in this Section shall be for the account of the Unitholders of record at the conclusion of the primary offering period. Any assets deposited with the Trustee in respect of the expenses reimbursable under this Section shall be held and administered as assets of the Trust for all purposes hereunder. The Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee any cash identified in the Statement of Financial Condition of the Trust included in the Prospectus not later than the First Settlement Date and the Depositor's obligation to make such delivery shall be secured by the Letter of Credit deposited pursuant to Section 2.01. Any cash which the Depositor has identified as to be used for reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section shall be held by the Trustee, without interest, and reserved for such purpose and, accordingly, prior to the conclusion of the primary offering period, shall not be subject to distribution or, unless the Depositor otherwise directs, used for payment of redemptions in excess of the per-Unit amount payable pursuant to the next sentence. If a Unitholder redeems Units prior to the conclusion of the primary offering period, the Trustee shall pay to the Unitholder, in addition to the Redemption Price of the tendered Units, an amount equal to the estimated per-Unit cost of organizing the Trust and the sale of Trust Units set forth in the Prospectus multiplied by the number of Units tendered for redemption; to the extent the cash on hand in the Trust is insufficient for such payment, the Trustee shall have the power to sell Securities in accordance with Section 5.02. As used herein, the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust and sale of the Trust Units shall include the cost of the initial preparation and typesetting of the registration statement, prospectuses (including preliminary prospectuses), the indenture, and other documents relating to the Trust, Securities and Exchange Commission and state blue sky registration fees, the cost of the initial valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust, the costs of a portfolio consultant, if any, the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee, and legal and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto but not including the expenses incurred in the printing of preliminary prospectuses and prospectuses, expenses incurred in the preparation and printing of brochures and other advertising materials and any other selling expenses.
Increased Capital (a) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by any Official Body of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any directive or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party or such Affected Party reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any Lender’s agreement to make or maintain Loans hereunder and other similar agreements or facilities and such event would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Affected Party by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Party or the related Managing Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders) or the related Managing Agent for the account of such Affected Party from time to time, as specified by such Affected Party or such Managing Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party or such Managing Agent on behalf of such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the applicable Lender’s agreements hereunder.
(b) Each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Program Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group to compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(a). Each Lender or Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender or Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender or Affected Party (or such party’s related Managing Agent) shall submit to the Borrower a certificate describing such compensation, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Managing Agent to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Managing Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group pursuant to this Section for any increased capital unless such Managing Agent gives notice to the Borrower and the Program Agent to compensate such Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group pursuant to this Section within 180 days after the date such Managing Agent knows an event has occurred pursuant to which such Lender or Affected Party in its Lender Group will seek such compensation.
Net Cash Flow The term “Net Cash Flow” shall mean all cash and cash equivalents from all sources on hand as of the last day of the measurement period prior to any distributions to the Partners, and after the payment of all then due expenses of operating and managing the Restaurants, and after payment of all debts and liabilities and after any prepayments of any debts and liabilities that the General Partner, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, elects to cause to be made, and after the establishment of any reserves reasonably deemed necessary by the General Partner for (i) the repayment of any due debts or liabilities, including debts owed to the General Partner; (ii) the working capital requirements; (iii) capital improvements and replacement of furniture, fixtures or equipment; and (iv) any contingent or unforeseen liabilities. In determining Net Cash Flow of each Restaurant there shall be deducted the Supervision Fee and the Accounting Fee as provided in Section 4.7, the Advertising Payment and the Insurance Payment as provided in Section 4.8, and the OSRS Charges as provided in Section 4.2.
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.
Maximum Capital Expenditures The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to, not make Capital Expenditures on a consolidated basis that exceed $30,000,000 in any fiscal year (the “Base Capital Expenditure Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Base Capital Expenditure Amount shall be increased by the following amounts: (i) to the extent that the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures made by the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in any fiscal year is less than the Base Capital Expenditure Amount, the amount of such difference may be carried forward and used to make Capital Expenditures in succeeding fiscal years, provided that in any fiscal year, the amount permitted to be applied to make Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (i) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 75% of the unused portion of the Base Capital Expenditure Amount for such fiscal year (without giving effect to any prior adjustments), (ii) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result after giving effect thereto, the Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries may make additional Capital Expenditures to the extent that the amount of such excess is deducted from the Base Capital Expenditure Amount in succeeding fiscal years, provided that in any fiscal year, the amount permitted to be applied to make Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (ii) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 25% of the Base Capital Expenditure Amount (without giving effect to any prior adjustments) and (iii) the Base Capital Expenditure Amount shall exclude any Capital Expenditures that are funded with the Available Credits; provided that, at the time of such Capital Expenditures, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Financial Officer stating the portion of Capital Expenditures that is being made from the Available Credit, and setting forth a calculation of the Available Credit immediately before and immediately after such Capital Expenditures.
Consolidated Capital Expenditures (i) Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make or commit to make Consolidated Capital Expenditures in any Fiscal Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2003, except Consolidated Capital Expenditures which do not aggregate in excess of the corresponding amount set forth below opposite such Fiscal Year: Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2003 $ 5,000,000 Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2004 $ 5,000,000 Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2005 and each Fiscal Year thereafter $ 7,000,000 provided that (a) if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Capital Expenditures actually made in any such Fiscal Year shall be less than the limit with respect thereto set forth above (before giving effect to any increase therein pursuant to this proviso) (the “Base Amount”), then the amount of such shortfall (up to an amount equal to 50% of the Base Amount for such Fiscal Year, without giving effect to this proviso) may be added to the amount of such Consolidated Capital Expenditures permitted for the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year and any such amount carried forward to a succeeding Fiscal Year shall be deemed to be used prior to Company and its Subsidiaries using the amount of capital expenditures permitted by this section in such succeeding Fiscal Year, without giving effect to such carryforward and (b) for any Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) following any acquisition of a business (whether through the purchase of assets or of shares of capital stock) permitted under subsection 6.7, the Base Amount for such Fiscal Year (or portion) shall be increased, for each such acquisition, by an amount equal to the product of (A) the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) 4% of revenues of the business acquired in such acquisition for the period of four Fiscal Quarters most recently ended on or prior to the date of such business acquisition multiplied by (B) (x) in the case of any partial Fiscal Year, a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in such Fiscal Year after the date of such business acquisition and the denominator of which is 365 (or 366 in a leap year), and (y) in the case of any full Fiscal Year, 1.
(ii) The parties acknowledge and agree that the permitted Consolidated Capital Expenditure level set forth in clause (i) above shall be exclusive of the amount of Consolidated Capital Expenditures actually made with the proceeds of a cash capital contribution to Company (including the proceeds of issuance of equity securities) made by Parent from the issuance by Parent of its equity Securities after the Closing Date and specifically identified in a certificate delivered by an Authorized Officer of Company to Administrative Agent on or about the time such capital contribution is made; provided that, to the extent any such cash capital contributions constitute Net Securities Proceeds after the Closing Date, only that portion of such Net Securities Proceeds which is not required to be applied as a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4B(ii)(c) (or pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement) may be used for Consolidated Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (ii).
