Section 2.05. Purchase Price; Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the aggregate sum of (1) Thirty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($35,000,000) plus (2) the Singapore Estimated Net Assets Amount plus (3) the Suzhou Estimated Net Assets Amount, in the case of (2) and (3) as reflected on the Purchase Price Adjustment Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, as adjusted herein. The Purchase Price payable by Buyer shall consist of (i) the Cash Escrow Amount and (ii) the amount of the Promissory Note.

Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Closing Balance Sheets to review and confirm that such Closing Balance Sheet balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. During such thirty-day period, Seller shall have on-site access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, books, records, schedules and analyses of Buyer, Singapore Subsidiary or Suzhou Subsidiary and to the working papers of the Buyer relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheets to the extent reasonably required to complete its review of the Closing Balance Sheets. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in completing the review referred to above.

(c) Unless Seller objects in writing within such thirty-day period, which writing shall set forth Seller’s calculation of Singapore Estimated Net Assets Amount and Suzhou Estimated Net Assets Amount, Buyer’s calculation of such amounts shall constitute the “Singapore Final Net Assets Amount” and the “Suzhou Final Assets Amount.” In the event Seller make such objection within such thirty-day period, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute. In the event such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) calendar days, Deloitte & Touche LLP shall be engaged to resolve the dispute. In resolving any dispute, the independent accounting firm shall be charged with the task of determining if the Closing Balance Sheet(s) in dispute were prepared in accordance with this Section 2.05. The Parties hereby agree that the results of such independent accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on each of them, and the final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet(s) and the Singapore Final Net Assets Amount and/or the Suzhou Final Net Assets Amount, as applicable, as approved by such firm shall prevail. The Party whose calculation of the Singapore Final Net Assets Amount and the Suzhou Final Net Assets Amount differs the most from such amounts as conclusively determined by such accounting firm, shall be solely responsible for the fees and disbursements of such accounting firm.

(d) On the date upon which the Singapore Final Net Assets Amount and/or the Suzhou Final Net Assets Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.05, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) in the event that the Singapore Final Net Assets Amount is greater than the Singapore Estimated Net Assets Amount (such excess being referred to herein as a “Net Assets Excess Amount”), Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller the Net Assets Excess Amount;

(ii) in the event that the Suzhou Final Net Assets Amount is greater than the Suzhou Estimated Net Assets Amount, Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller such Net Assets Excess Amount;

(iii) in the event that the Singapore Final Net Assets Amount is less than the Singapore Estimated Net Assets Amount (such excess being referred to herein as a “Net Assets Shortfall Amount”), Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the Net Assets Shortfall Amount;

(iv) in the event that the Suzhou Final Net Assets Amount is less than the Suzhou Estimated Net Assets Amount, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such Net Assets Shortfall Amount.

Any Net Assets Excess Amount and any Net Assets Shortfall Amount may be offset against each other so that the Parties can settle the Purchase Price Adjustment in one transaction payment. The Parties agree that to the extent there is a Net Assets Shortfall Amount (taking into account any offset of a Net Assets Excess Amount) that results in a payment being owed by Seller to Buyer, such payment shall be first made from the Cash Escrow Fund and then directly from Seller. To the extent there is a Net Assets Excess Amount (taking into account any offset of a Net Assets Shortfall Amount), Buyer shall promptly wire cash in immediately available funds in such amount.

Section 2.06. Allocation of Purchase Price. With respect to the acquisition of the Purchased Assets, as soon as practicable after the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an allocation of the Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities to the extent properly taken into account under the Code and the Treasury Regulations) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”) for Buyer’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller and Buyer shall work in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Allocation.

The fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.
