Section 2.4 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Sellers will deliver to Buyer, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a statement (the “Sellers’ Working Capital Statement”) containing an estimate of the Business Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital”). Not later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer will provide Sellers with a statement of Buyer’s calculation of the actual Business Working Capital (the “Buyer’s Working Capital Statement”). The Sellers’ Working Capital Statement and the Buyer’s Working Capital Statement will be calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 2.4(a). Buyer may conduct a physical inventory count of the inventory of the Business as of the Closing Date and Sellers’ representatives shall cooperate with and be entitled to participate in any such physical inventory count. If Sellers disagree with Buyer’s calculation of the Business Working Capital as set forth in Buyer’s

Working Capital Statement, Sellers may provide written notice to Buyer disputing such calculations or lack thereof (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”), which Working Capital Dispute Notice shall specify the nature of the disagreement to the extent practicable. If Sellers do not provide a Working Capital Dispute Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of Buyer’s Working Capital Statement, then such statement shall be deemed accepted by Sellers, and the Business Working Capital as reflected on the Buyer’s Working Capital Statement shall be deemed final, and no longer subject to review or contest by Sellers in the absence of fraud or manifest error.

(b) If a Working Capital Dispute Notice is timely delivered to Buyer by Sellers, then, during the thirty (30) calendar day period following delivery of the Working Capital Dispute Notice, Buyer and Sellers shall attempt to resolve all disagreements and to agree upon the calculation of the Business Working Capital. In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon the calculation of the Business Working Capital within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Working Capital Dispute Notice, either Buyer or Sellers may refer the dispute to the New York City office of Deloitte LLP or such other independent firm of certified public accountants of international repute as Buyer and Sellers may agree (the “Expert”). The Expert is to be instructed to make a decision on the dispute and notify Buyer and Sellers of its decision within 20 Business Days of receiving the reference or such longer reasonable period as the Expert may determine. For purposes of this Section 2.4(b), (x) the Expert shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator, and (y) Sellers and Buyer shall each promptly prepare a written statement solely on the items in dispute which, together with all relevant documents, shall be submitted to the Expert and to the other Party, and provide to the Expert all such information as the Expert shall reasonably request. The decision of the Expert shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties. Buyer and Sellers each shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Expert.

(c) The Business Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be the final Business Working Capital, and reflected in Buyer’s Working Capital Statement as adjusted or agreed to by Sellers (the “Final Business Working Capital”). No later than five (5) Business Days after determination of the Final Business Working Capital:

(i) if the Final Business Working Capital is equal to or greater than the Estimated Working Capital, within five (5) Business days of final determination of the Final Business Working Capital, Buyer shall pay Sellers the amount, if any, by which the Final Business Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, and Buyer and Sellers shall cause the Escrow Agent to promptly pay the Escrow Amount to Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(ii) if the Final Business Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then, within five (5) Business Days of final determination of the Final Business Working Capital, Buyer and Sellers shall cause the Escrow Agent to promptly pay to Sellers the Escrow Amount less the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Final Business Working

Capital and pay the balance of the Escrow Amount to the Buyer; provided, however, that if the Escrow Amount is less than the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Final Business Working Capital, (x) Buyer and Sellers shall cause the Escrow Agent to promptly pay the Escrow Amount to the Buyer, and (y) Sellers shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after determination of the Final Business Working Capital, pay to Buyer the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Final Business Working Capital, less the Escrow Amount.

(iii) All interest earned on the Escrow Amount shall be payable to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.5 Claims Receivables. With respect to claims receivable of the Business outstanding on the Closing Date or claims receivable of Sellers arising on or after the Closing Date and relating to Goods-in-Transit, owed from vendors to the Business, that are not otherwise included as Business Assets, to the extent that any such receivables are collected, received or recovered, directly or indirectly, by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including without limitation, from direct payment from such vendor or deduction or offset of amounts that otherwise would be paid to the vendor by Buyer or any of its Affiliates) Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days following any such collection, receipt or recovery, deliver to Sellers the full amount of such receivables so collected, received or recovered. To the extent that any such claims receivables are not collected, received or recovered by a Seller or a Seller Subsidiary (or otherwise collected, received or recovered by Buyer or a Buyer Affiliate and delivered to a Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence) on or prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, Sellers shall have the right, and the Seller Subsidiaries (as the case may be) shall have the right, to assign to Buyer (or a Buyer Affiliate) all of their rights, properties and interests in and to all such receivables upon written notice of assignment to Buyer. Following such assignment, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (as the case may be) to, (i) use its or their (as the case may be) commercially reasonable best efforts to collect, receive or recover (including without limitation, from direct payment from such vendor or deduction or offset of amounts that otherwise would be paid to the vendor by Buyer or any of its Affiliates) any receivables assigned in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (ii) within ten (10) Business Days following any such collection, receipt or recovery, deliver to Seller the full amount of such receivables so collected, received or recovered, net of the sum of (x) collection costs reasonably paid by Buyer to a third party collection services provider in respect of such receivables collected, received or recovered, plus (y) 5.0% of the amount of such receivables collected, received or recovered as an administrative cost. The Parties agree and acknowledge that any amounts collected from a vendor in respect of claims receivables (including without limitation, from direct payment from such vendor or deduction or offset of amounts that otherwise would be paid to the vendor) shall be applied against claims receivables of Sellers and Buyer from such vendor in the order in which they were incurred.

bank), pursuant to which Buyer will reimburse such Seller, any Seller Subsidiary, and the issuing bank for any obligations (including, without limitation, all principal, penalties, interest, charges, premiums and similar expenses in connection with such letters of credit) of the Business or of such Seller or of any Seller Subsidiary arising under such letters of credit.

Section 6.8 Transition.

Sellers shall provide Buyer with copies of such Tax Returns for review prior to the filing of such transfer tax returns, and Buyer shall provide to Sellers any applicable exemption certificates reasonably requested by Sellers to qualify for exemption from such Taxes.

Section 6.10 Apportionment. Buyer and Sellers agree that as of 11:59 p.m. (ET) on the day prior to the Closing Date, the following items shall be apportioned between Buyer and Sellers: rents, Taxes, sewer charges, and other items related to the Business Assets that are customarily apportioned in the applicable jurisdictions.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, each Party shall make available to the other Party upon written request at the requesting Party’s expense: (a) personnel to assist locating and obtaining records and files for periods prior to Closing Date; and (b) personnel whose assistance or participation is reasonably required in anticipation of, preparation for, or the prosecution or defense of existing or future claims or Actions, Tax Returns or other matters in which the Parties don’t have any adverse interest.

(d) Any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information provided under this Section 6.11 may not be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of the Party initially providing such information. This obligation of confidentiality shall cease to apply to information that is or enters into, the public domain through no breach hereof

by the Party receiving such information, or is required to be disclosed as a matter of law (provided that the Party receiving such information shall give prior notice to the other Party of such requirement and the right to participate in any proceeding regarding such disclosure, and provided further that the Party receiving such information has sought to obtain all available confidentiality protection for such information when disclosed).
